'Tis the day for making infatuations and subsequently breaking silences, and to go out on a nimble limb I'd reckon there could never be enough 'neo-noir punk' in the place to satiate the baying thirst of the world's unquantifiably enormous blackened hearts club. And Bad Heart Part 2 from doomy Brooklynites LODRO may yet become the brigade's skulky anthem: a sullen brood of garage guitars, fuzzed reverb and tousled drums, it's a total dream-cum-spacey nightmare irrespective of however sooty your internal organs may appear to the ebullient eye. Like Big Boy Pete, Spectrum and Tom Dissevelt all chowing down [...]
British Invasion producer/songwriter Pete Miller hit the scene early into Britain's love affair with American rock. Starting in the late 502s, he recorded with early rock n' roll groups, beat bands and penned and recorded one of the first English psychedelic songs. His distortion-flooded psych-era output is amazingly weird and surprisingly catchy, for some reason I had him pegged and Belgian or Dutch (probably because of his ESL sounding vocal delivery).

Stumbling across a blogger who actually creates, who brings knowledge and passion to their musical signposts is a rare and wonderful thing. As such I have to draw overdue attention to the fabulous interview come musical [...]
Big Boy Pete is your quintessential slice of lost psych. Or is he? Re-releasing a string of solid material from the 60s in the late 90s and 2000s, "Big Boy" Pete Miller's prolific and good quality works have caused some archivists to wonder. Yes, I have heard some people claim that Pete Miller's stuff is fake. But regardless of whether Big Boy Pete's music was recorded back in the day, or in a home studio by a modern-day-super-psych-fan, his works have been accepted as psychedelic standards.
