Photos by Chris Morris/ PYMCA . The UFO Club, London circa 1967 -70 I've been wanting to do a Psychedelic/Garage Rock post for some time now and having just acquired some new material from Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve , the time has finally presented itself. As you are probably aware, the two Wizards of which I speak are one Erol Alkan and Richard Norris and using their magical production skills they cut-up and re-edit classic Psyche Rock tracks. The duo have just released a new EP entitled [...]

Pharoahe Monch-Coachella Stage (1:30-2:15) I was depressed when I found out that Pharoahe Monch, a 13 year veteran of the rap world was slotted to play the main stage at 1:30 smack dab in the middle of the searing desert heat, a time typically given to rookies playing their first festival ever, and certainly not fitting for one of the greatest MC's ever. Had the Coachella organizers never heard Internal Affairs, or Stress: The Extinction Level Agenda ? Obviously not, because anyone who has ever heard Pharoahe and his [...]
* New Architecture In Helsinki? Now that's something to get excited about. 'Heart It Races' is the first single from the band's new album, Places Like This and it's a calypso-tinged tune that strolls up to you in a charity store college b-ball tee, skinny black jeans, and Chuck Taylors before pulling back your hair and whispering in your ear, 'Hey man, let's get some cider, grab a frisbee and
The documentary You're Gonna Miss Me tells the story of Roky Erickson , frontman of the 13th Floor Elevators , who lost track of the real world years ago: Outside Austin, Texas, a 53-year-old man sits in an apartment with four radios, three televisions, two amps, a radio scanner, and a casio electric piano playing. At the same time. Loudly. He has three teeth, his hair is matted into one huge dreadlock, and he has a notarized document on his wall declaring himself an alien, "so whoever's putting shocks to my head will [...]
Song: You're Gonna Miss Me Artist: 13 th Floor Elevators Album: Nuggets Comments: Roky Erickson wrote this perfect piece of 60's pysch . Most interpretations don't even try to do something different with the song, except for Half Japanese which ruined the damn song. This is is off the Nuggets comp. The screaming and what sounds like a rabid chipmunk open this song. The "rabid chipmunk" effect is pure genius. I don't know what it is but that is what I have thought it [...]
En voilà un film qui sent le voyeurisme, la larme à l'oeil et la goutte au nez. M'est avis qu'il ne doit rester qu'un demi-neurone à Rory Erickson et que le film doit larmoyer pleins gaz. Toujours est-il qu'un documentaire est sur le point de sortir aux USA sur le légume qu'il a l'air d'être devenu et la bataille qui agite sa famille: 13th Floor Elevators : I Don't Ever Want To Come Down (mp3) via [...]

I am a wee bit exhausted here... what a frickin week...weekend...whatever. I gotta get up and help with a stage breakdown but i ain't done whooshing through my memory banks enough to sleep... hence this middle f the night reflection... While it came and went this past week already, if you blinked and missed the 15th year of Noise Pop you also missed the most ambitious edition of the festival yet. Thousands of folks were enthralled at various venues around town over the [...]

Today for 5 On A Friday we celebrate the recent announcement that the legendary Roky Erickson will once again be playing some live shows this year. Hot on the heels of last years SXSW performance, he will be playing at the Sixth Annual Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans . 1 : [...]

Being utterly stressed by exams and projects this last weeks I spent the past Saturday drinking myself off at a fancy 12 hour fest my grandfather threw to celebrate my grandmother's 70th birthday. At some point in this type of parties the band will eventually play a meaningful ballad selected by the couple and they'll get up and dance the piece while they get joined by other members of the concurrence. In the middle of my drowsiness I was left wondering the ballad I would choose in my own wedding. My mind kept thinking about "no surprises" by rh or [...]
