Sitting in the car listening to Agustin Barrios.

I had "What Were Once Vices are Now Habits" by the Doobie Brothers spinning on the turntable this morning. This week has been Screaming Trees, Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Primus and Motorhead in my playlists or in the truck.

Cover of that Riley album is amazing.

What I've been spinning today:
The Breeders - All Nerve
Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription
Sir Richard Bishop/Ava Mendoza - Ivory Tower
Cornelius - Fantasma
Efrim Manuel Menuck - Pissing Stars

Stevolende with the hits

love that Harlem River Drive album

(and Terry Riley too, obv)

I think Toni Arthur was about my first crush when she was on children's tv a few years later.
Still not really heard the folk lps though.

hearken to... is the only one i've found & is quite good. think the earlier two were compiled on cd at some point.

Anthology of all of their stuff, from the Prae Kraut Pandemonium fave singles from the 60s to the kinda... vaguely punky hard rock 1970s stuff. Contains the line "I've got a prick like a saxophone."

I haven't been really listening to anything in particular lately but right now I'm v much in the mood to be slowly decomposed by mycelia on the forest floor to that koboku senju record

I've gone back to the heart and soul music: Rock and Roll Over, Rocks, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in this evenings play list.

really enjoying the Mystery Lights 2016 debut.
It's nuggets classic style garage rock, more passionate reverence than derivative I think.
Sort of a slinkier version of the Sonics

Naka Naka Mundo Harsh

Rough but beautiful rainy day vibes w/hints of ambient AFX and Kinesthesia.

read an article on buzzing local bands. i cherry pick fierce. faced with a list of eleven bands i haven't heard of i'll pick the one with the best sounding name. so i listened to brown calculus. i like them! they sound like a hippie THEESatisfaction.

quite audible how the MC5 version is based on the Ted taylor. But I do love teh Jerry Lee Lewis version which is the first recording I think. Haven't heard any other Ted Taylor so not sure how prevalent the falsetto is.

the Myra melford re-issue is done in the same design format. I think it is the Hatology label house style.

yes i just now realized that as you said it :/

it's classic Swiss taste neutrality, perhaps!

Andrew W.K. "The Party All Goddamn Night E.P." (2011)

i've been listening to "You're Not Alone" so much i needed a chaser. never heard this EP but it's very cool! it has an early version of "Ever Again". and the song "Head Bang" is one of the coolest things he has ever done.
