LSD Connection, Music Diary: Circle, Miles Davis, Sun Ra!!!!

i see frogs really and rabbits and bears oh my!!
I gotta tell ya about the LSD Connection series
excuse me - cough cough -
horror show
horror show!!!
mice in flight
mice in flight!!!
hide the turtles
flip the night catch a wink
hallucinatory rings
love the insanity it brings
the concentric cranium
of the universal skull
is full of holes
full of holes
and listening to this blot of acid is something that will open eyes pupils lenses holes and that scary filmy layer of the eye (is that the lens?) that freaks me out every time they showed us in grade school on some unsuspecting frog but
i never cried
no i never cried
instead i took a dose of daily acid and this fantastic series of hard heavy satanic hilarity serious as shit music is something to treat the ears and dry the tears and cleanse the soul and...dammitt...listening to this series will make you feel good...
and introduce you to a lot of amazing obscure bands that deserve a listen. I first heard on LSD Connection the following artists...
The Bintangs - these guys are like the best fucking bar band ever...
November - i had to find all 3 albums and they're all great...
Sir Lord Baltimore, Yesterday's Children, tons more...
I don't know who put this together, but they did an amazing job and they deserve recognition and being hired by some record company if record companies had brains but we know how that story ends...
you can find it at the
Crotchbat blog.

Music Diary

The "Awesome":
Circle: Gathering (1971) this isn't the current Circle, whom i also dig, no, this is corea braxton holland and altschul weaving a tapestry quite unlike anyone else...the percussion and sound of this reminds me of aec (
arts ensemble of chicago) and i luv em both and after miles this is easily the best corea i've heard and braxton continues to astonish me.

Miles Davis: Complete On the Corner Sessions, disc 2 (2007) obviously brilliant...

(and even more jazz...)
Sun Ra: Disco 3000, disc 2 (1978) sun ra continues to shine with his music that can take my hand and lead me through the universe without moving my fat lazy ass off this chair away from the computer...this particular 2 cd set is one of his best....don't be frightened of disco cause if this is disco then disco is the most brilliant shit out there and disco haters can fuck off...

check out the Sun Ra Arkestra in Japan 1988. Wow!!!! and I mean fucking WOW!!! thanks zyazj813



The "Great caught me by surprise shit"
John Cale / Terry Riley: Church of Anthrax (1971) this was way more melodic than i remembered and i forgot how much i love john cale's voice...on the one song he sings...

Hook: Hooked (1968) / The Hook Will Grab You (1968) i'm a sucker for this heavy (and yes somewhat cheesy) psychedelic rock'n'roll and is there a job out there for exploring this obscure shit and bringing it forth to the people of good taste????

Roky Erikson: Hallowe'en 1979-1981 (2008) is as incredible as i thought it would be...roky rockin' at his hardest...yessss!!!!!

Suicide: Second (1980) i wasn't as crazy about this as i was the first...hmmm...i gave ***** to the 1st on Rate Your Music and would give this one a ***.

Four Seasons: The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette (1969) the four seasons go psych and i love it!! what a blast...

Julian Cope: Fried (1984) i have become a huge mr. cope fan and always enjoy his music and his writing...check out his Head Heritage site.

and finally...i'm done writing this style...Whew....
