Come with the gentle people, spreading love across Santa Ana! This burg’s extremely active arts district was host to Sunday’s Psycho de Mayo festival, basically an excuse to have a bunch of amazing psychedelic bands play shows that had absolutely nothing to do with a ragtag group of Mexican soldiers beating the snot out of Napoleon III’s French forces in 1862. It didn’t have to—coincidentally, the arts district itself was celebrating the holiday with its own stages of Hispanic music, street corn, and a bunch of carnival rides, ring tosses, and merchandise booths that very, very [...]
May 4th, 1am, I found myself in front of a chaotic Dead Skeletons at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall, hypnotized with the rest of the audience by some sort of ritualistic frenzy. What a great weekend for psychedelia in the Bay! The Washington D.C.-based Dead Meadow led a miniature psych-fest that featured a slew of similarly stoney bands (Dead Skeletons, LSD and the Search for God , Mr. Elevator & the Brain Hotel , Old Testament , and more), scattered across three days and [...]

Here's what a fucking moron I am. I accidentally overdosed on Sudafed yesterday and wound up not getting a wink of sleep, with an insane heart rate I couldn't calm. It was one of the most uncomfortable nights of my life. I thought I was taking 6-hour Sudafed but I was taking 12-hour. The instructions [...]
Following up his debut EP Time Waste ( Jellyfish Recordings , 2012), young Vancouver-based electronic music producer and Chapel Sound crew-member, Patrick Holland, a.k.a. 8prn , has crafted this smoky soulful brooding beat-tape entitled Over It for our very own Blenheim & Celtic Recordings . The record is cheeky, dark, and intoxicating, but also souful and sincere. On this project, Holland draws heavily on hip-hop and R&B for the rhythmic framework, which was constructed using a Roland SP-404 and [...]

Satana solo sa quanto ci vuole un bel disco dei Dead Meadow , bisogna aspettare ancora un pò ma intanto pezzo nuovo e video senza senso perchè non ha senso fare un video dei Dead Meadow Se poi qualcuno volessse vendermi Old Growth mi faccia un fischio, è l'unico che mi manca, stavo per comprarlo ma poi ho desistito perchè ero convinto di averlo. Senilità galoppante.
The top mp3s have gone through many incarnations since the beginning of Consequence of Sound in 2007. What used to be an exhaustive roundup of all the singles, remixes, covers, and undiscovered gems emailed to us any given week evolved into a compilation whittled down to our 10 favorite new songs. For 2013, we’re again changing up the format with the hope of giving our selections some added weight. We’re still posting about our 10 favorite songs, but they’ll be ordered in quality from 10-1. Who takes home #1 this week? You’ll have to click ‘Next’ to find out. [...]

It was a typical Coachella story. My friend, who plays saxophone in Jimmy Cliff’s band, had dangled the possibility of a Coachella guest pass in front of the part of my imagination that still dares to hope. And in the end, I was rewarded for my trust with a bunch of unanswered texts and a feeling akin to being ditched at the prom. But I’d already secured a house to crash at in Indio with a pool and a gaggle of good folks, and I’d been to Coachella the week before anyway. So on we went, out to [...]
