My friend Randy notified me of a killer blog called FM Shades.
This blog is manna from the heavens!!!
Let the angels sing
obscure unknown
psychedelia
and experimental
sounds and tones
and take copious
amounts of intoxicants
to clear the mind
of its pollution
and become
naked and pure.
The blogger provides info and downloads (including cover art..if available) of great obscure, extremely hard-to-get music.
Samples of what's available
Robbie Basho - The Falconer's Arm I & II (1967-1968) great underrated guitarist with a great eastern feel flowing through the music. Overshadowed by John Fahey who was also on the same label: Takoma.
Bruce Palmer - The Cycle is Complete (1971) The great Bruce Palmer from Neil Young legend (he and Neil ran into Stephen Stills in a traffic jam in LA and proceeded to form Buffalo Springfield) who put out this album as a final fuck-you to the music industry. Rick James guests!!! Need to listen to this more!!!!
SRC - SRC (1968) From the Detroit rock scene with MC5 and Iggy. Needless to say, these guys didn't make quite the splash those 2 did, but that doesn't make it any less vital!!
Kraftwerk - K4 (1971) Early Kraftwerk with Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger from Neu! as early members.
Check it out!! What the fuck are you waiting for?????
