Read MoreRetolt Mandala "SF Munou Koukyoubutsu" CDR [Subjective Spirit Sound]—Greatest noise / rock / scum / collage album released in recent memory. On the always excellent SSS label who seem
Read More(((Vluba))) "Hell Om, Hell Off! Hell You" CDR [Subjective Spirit Sound]—Witchy Argentine group who sound like they're piloting a ghost train full of sharks up into the mountains.
Read MoreMy life just got like 1000% better this week. I learned how to cut mangoes and the sleep timer on the TV remote was explained to me. Who knew?
Read MoreHubble Bubble s/t LP [Radio Heartbeat/Daggerman]—Shane White told me about these guys years ago. What a public service for these labels to have
Read Moreebenden Toten "State Laughter" CD [Feral Wars]—Wow! Lebenden Toten is a Discharge/Japanese hardcore obssessed group who have the most psychedelic guitar player in
Read MoreI am in the midst of the biggest musical clean up in twelve years. Imagine cleaning up every unlabeled CDR you have and spending the time to file them or throw them away—actually I've been giving away a lot of this stuff. You haven't heard Kevin Ayers? Now you have...the soundtrack to this not-so-terrible job:
Chubby Checker s/t CD [Underground Masters]—The psychedelic one! I seriously thought about to listening to Donovan after "If the Sun Stopped Shining" finished. How often does that happen? Like never..."Love Tunnel" is awesome too. Don't blame Chubby—blame the Dutch backing band. This is SO much better than I thought it would be. For real.
The Walker Brothers "If You Could Hear Me Now" CD [Columbia]—What is it about a Tom Rush cover in the hands—mouth?—of Scott Walker that makes it cooler? I must be losing my mind because I listened to "We're All Alone" on this twice. OK one time it was skipping in a cool way. Memo to Walker Brothers compilers: would it be too much to note who does each vocal because John Maus b—l—o—w—s.
I also had time to listen to the following:
Yamashirube "Rinjin wa Uchu" 3"CDR [Subjective Spirit Sound]
v/a "Schnäbbls" 7" EP [Yahoo Records]—"Their singer disappeared missteriously [sic] in the late 60's. The band still insists on their statement: In 1966 we've played two gig on Mars."
Hank IV "Dirty Poncho" b/w "Symptomatic" 7" [Plastic Idol]
Platypus "Ninja Monster!" 7" EP [Weird Dreams]
The Fix "Vengeance" b/w "In this Town" 7" [BPT]
Sun Ra "The Magic City" LP [Saturn/Impulse]—both sides!
Square 9 "Tsunami 2. Up" LP [Majora]
LSD-March Tour CDR [White Elephant?]—I looked this up online to see if I could find some song titles. I read a few complaints about this but hey if you want bands to do the same exact thing every time they release something then that's your deal. I like the new direction here especially on the final track "空っぽのルージュ."
Royal Trux "Sweet Sixteen" CD [Charisma]—This is a great allbum. I've said it before and I'll say it again the current gush of great weird music [not that kind!] is due to Royal Trux
Read MoreAfter Life "Cauchemar" LP [Wah Wah Records]—Nice French fuzz rock exploito album produced by Jean-Pierre Massiera.
Read MoreLes Rallizes Dénudés "Neu Product Era" 4CD [Univive]
v/a "OZ Days Live" 2CD [OZ]—I have finally heard sides one and two of "OZ Days Live." Did my life change? Nope. Not at all.
v/a "Aundergroun Vibrations!:Spanish Psych and Beyond 1970-1975" LP [Hundergrum Records] v/a "Aundergroun Vibrations Vol. 2:Psychedelic Hard Rock from Spain 1970-1978" [Hundergrum Records] LP—There's nothing better in record world than a comp that fills you in on a zone you never knew
Read MoreChrissy Zebby Tembo & Ngozi Family "My Ancestors" LP [Chris Editions]—More killer Zambian psych fuzz garage! Killer affordable LP reissue that I got from Bomp! The cover lets on nothing.
Read MoreWitch "Lazy Bones!!" LP [Shadoks]—Zambian garage psych in the style of La Revolución de Emiliano Zapata or Four Levels of Existence—definitely not "African" sounding.
Read MoreLes Rallizes Dénudés "Naked Dizastar" 3CD [Univive]
Les Rallizes Dénudés "End of Heavy Groove" 2CD [Univive]—"Naked Dizastar" is a comp of tracks from shows that might not have been all-the-way killer enough for a complete Dick's Picks-style release.
