aerosmith hasn't been relevant in decades. but it sounds like Perry wants to recruit someone for vocals. what's gary cherrone up to?

wow, that's tragic.

and don't forget their last record: http://www.touchandgorecords.com/bands/album.php?id=414 btw, this place makes some look-alikes (Buzzo has been playing one for the past year, as have the guys in Torche). http://electricalguitarcompany.com/models.html

In Shellac, both Weston and Albini play one:

the Tortoise box is very good (and cheap!) but it's mostly released material.

big shows are tightly orchestrated in terms of start and stop times because of things like a hard curfew...venues pay sizable fines for overstepping these limits. club shows still have this this sort of environment though. i was at a show last night that the band didn't get on until 11:15 or so. yeah it was later than i'd have liked, and i have a 30 mile trip back home afterwards, but it won't kill me. that said, i don't get up at 5. more like 7.

The Sun Dial - Other Way Out best neo-psych record ever.

i got a laugh out of this, as i have no idea who this guy is: he's completely off the radar here: Drag City is easily one of the best labels ever. if that's what's wrong w/ Chicago, please pray for more fuckups. i just most of that rambling screed. what a waste of time.

oh, Xenakis is a guy name-checked by electronic/avant hipsters...i have this one (it's been a while since i listened to it): http://www.discogs.com/Iannis-Xenakis-Electronic-Music/release/154491 i have two Young 2CD sets (the ones that are in purple). some german-based title, i think? holy damn who would buy this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000009HZ9/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1256929640&sr=8-1&condition=used are you familiar w/ Natural Snow Buildings? they do some really nice earthy/folky drone stuff...the new _Shadow Kingdom_ is excellent. other good dro

i have some of the above-listed. the LmY stuff gets tedious. of that list, i like Mimir the best. Mirror and other Heeman stuff is good as well. how about Xenakis?

'psychedelic rock' is the most abused tag ever applied to music...so much so that it's almost meaningless. however, i will trot out a few of my favorite records which could either induce a different state, or sound really good while under the influence of something psychoactive... Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun Butthole Surfers - Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac Charalambides - Historic 6th Ward Dungen - Ta Det Lungt Flying Saucer Attack - Rural Psychedelia Sun Dial - Other Way Out Espers - Espers II Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral Religious Knives - Resin Spacemen 3 - The Perfect

12 full-lengths. they just qualify. oops, not anymore: Jets Part 2 (My Two Days As An Ambulance Driver) Bad Days (Aurally Excited Version) How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos) Riding To Work In The Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)

except for the 'track 0' ones...those are cool.

more Lips: Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology of a Saturday) Talkin' 'Bout The Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever) You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy of the Devil's Brain) Jets (Cupid's Kiss vs the Psyche of Death)

Blue Oyster Cult - "Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl)"

that was the name of a cdr i made, compiling Wilco b-sides. a similarly constructed Pavement cdr was named '40 different shades of black'

so according to that list, they stopped making essential psych rock after the '60s?

always in my camera bag:

gonna get my metal fix tonight...Mastodon + Dethklok + High On Fire + Converge = headbanging.

he's got to know his limitations.

it was tacked on as a bonus cd for the Australian and UK versions of Under the Bushes, Under the Stars http://www.gbvdb.com/albums.asp?album_title=under+the+bushes

CCR - 'wrote a song for everyone'

the problem i see w/ digital formats is that it seems transient, not lasting...you can pick up an LP made six decades ago and still play it. the cd will not be around in ~10 or so years. mp3s are not a good alternative. sure, you can use FLAC but to me it's not the same thing. maybe it's because i don't feel any sense of ownership when i have a file on my PC.

i totally agree w/ this. despite listening to music for a large percentage of the day, i can't give a lot of it the proper listening time it deserves. i should cut back, but that's not in my wired behavioral patterns.
