That Pan Sonic album cover is cool.

raw garage psych which first struck me as som ekind of Deniz Tek type Australian Stooges influenced stuff but also seems to add in Dead C level distorto rock stuff. Lo fi visceral noisy rock with what sounds like zero production. I wondered if the mono in the title was part of the aesthetic but its apparently fro vehicle suspension.
Anyway new Cardinal Fuzz reissue of an older compilation frpm like 16 years ago with a new cover

2 long acoustic jams. I think the tunes change a few times. Quite interesting.
Another recent Cardinal Fuzz release.

Live set from Walthamstow based folk rockers. Has a very nice version of the 13th Floor Elevators Splash 1 on.
Another recent Cardinal Fuzz release.
Need to catch up with these let things slide a bit over the summer.

I've now got back to th e1st disc the earlier 50s stuff. Quite interesting but I think I prefer the other 2 discs overall. Has some good stuff on anyway.

Monoshock is great, I thought about selling Walk To The Fire recently, put it on, and within 5 minutes was like "oh yeah right" and put it back in the stacks.

yay Monoshock!

Like Monoshock, Liquorball and the New World Of Sound label stuff really set me down a good path in the 90s

That Monoshock looks really cool, but OOF at there being no digital only version, at least as far as I can find. Not ready to shell out $50 for the vinyl. Rare to see something on bandcamp that doesn't give you a digital option at all.

yeah got that asa 2fer with the 2nd on ea couple of years ago. Somebody put out 2fers of a few of his 70s lps.

I wondered what he was doing at the time that Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye were having pretty purple periods, since he was the great lyricist and stylist of tehmid 60s. & This is pretty tasty.

gorgeous curated playlist

Patrick Cowley, Some Funkettes: Firmly packed studio rat EP, sassy and fresh from the can, man, mid-to-late 70s queries--fave so far is instrumental version of "I Feel Love," with as much or as prominent organ as synth, maybe 60s garage fave Farfisa, bringing out seedy soulful punky Latin highlights from melody---other fave is finale, "Spiked Punch Dub."

sorry, meant to link, whole thing is here, with much else:

notes just now, trying to wrap brane around what it just experienced:

Little Richard, Southern Child omg, cert worth mention try to describe finely calibrated sense of pitch, sweetly piercing and sensitive, like Joplin’s "Summertime" all the time while rolling round on the farm vehicles and such, musos no prob as he makes something----something, not nec of nothing but working a few phrases not nec going anywhere but around and around earth and space certainly some robust to muscular phrases, whatever he does with them and voice very clear despite all the screaming he had done press sheet says label was like oh we don’t know about him doing country or was it just that it was so out there how compare to his other new records around then? seemed pretty out there in 70s Hendrix doc Sweet girlish laughter but unsettling as in high school wtf but no complaints after all Out Dec. 4 and always

have also been digging that theo parrish, tho

I tried with those later Tietchens records and could not hang, should I revisit that?

ymmv, i don't like the kitschy clusteresque early ones. i dig the later ones cos of paucity of rhythm, melody, or even sound. occasional elusive glimmers. nice to work to. i remember γ-Menge, soiree & parergon being slightly more accessible than most of the later stiff, but that is relative blipssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssblip XQXQ nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnblip plongXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

fp'ed you for using Anglocentric title for Amon Duul II ;)

I love Sound of Joy. I'm going to piss off my arsehole neighbour by blasting it out rn ftr.

haha it's the US pressing! what can I say.

my copy of Sound Of Joy is especially treasured as it is not only a sweet Delmark 60's pressing, but also used to belong to the radio station that formed my tastes growing up, 3000 miles away from where I live now and inexplicably found the LP for sale from a guy I've known since he was 7 years old (his parents are some of my best friends) who now collects LPs.
