I’m indulging myself; I just love this album, and it really just fits today’s mood. It’s a live, lively psych stretch from 1968 San Francisco so you know what you’re getting into. No Donny & Marie material here, sorry. H.P. Lovecraft was formed in Chicago in 1967, but found their …
Psychedelic music is one of my favourite genres. There is always something interesting going on in the psychedelic realm. The United States of America certainly underscores this. Their sole album was released in 1968 and is an intriguing listen. There are all sorts of elements in here: early electronica experimentation, …
If you have a soft spot for psych pop from the late ’60’s, then I think you’ll enjoy The Savage Resurrection’s one & done album, released in 1968. With exception of a 21 year old, the rest of the band were teenagers when they recorded this (link to band’s wiki). …
Here’s quite the eclectic little playlist brought to you by bands with numbers in their name. I thought it may make for an interesting music mix, and I believe I’m right. Now, I chose bands with clear numbers, not with adjectives like 5th or fourth. So here you go. It’s …
Time to take another little journey into the land of psychedelia. There are a lot of definitions out there, but what I know about psychedelic music is that it is a personal journey. What makes a good psychedelic song to me? It has to have several layers, and a different …
Doing something a little different this week in highlighting two albums. One of my intents of starting this site was to discover new music, and to share it. As I’ve dug in record stores and online, I’ve found many new (to me) artists. I’m sure these artists are not unfamiliar …
This playlist flows through several moods & styles, starting off with some old school psychedelia. If you want to stay in that genre, try these playlists: Psychedelic Basics, Psychedelic Enhanced. This was like having 15 minutes to run through the grocery store, madly grabbing things off the shelf, then having …
While getting less attention and airplay today than their contemporaries Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead & Big Brother and the Holding Company, Quicksilver Messenger Service remains an important element of the late ‘60’s San Francisco sound. The twin guitar work of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan stand out with their …
I was not quite old enough to fully appreciate the San Francisco music scene in the late ’60’s. However, after listening to much of what has been produced in that time, I feel that this is the one album that captures much of the mood & feel of that era. …
Take a blender and whirr up a mixture of Sgt. Peppers, Kate Bush, Goth, Psychedelia, Vaudeville & Carnival music. This is what you get. And it’s very, very good! It’s heartening to hear new music being made that builds from a varied heritage and enhances today’s musical landscape. This is …
