&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
My mp3 walkman helped the ferry ride incredibly…without it man, I'd have been an anxious shaking straitjacket-ready kook looking for the nearest pot bar or digging up mushrooms searching for a ticket to the great unknown…
Here’s what helped me through ferry ride from hell (alphabetically!)….
Acid Mothers Temple: Univers Zen Ou Zero A Zero (2002) this tab of acid is highly recommended for all you acid lovers out there. i happen to love acid very very much!
Blues Creation: Demon and Eleven Children (1971) loved the first listen to this japanese blues monster...i've become a sucker for early 70s japanese rock blues weirdness.
Nick Cave: Dig Lazarus Dig (2008) nick is one of those guys that has aged gracefully and strongly and the bad seeds are the perfect band for him. catchy clever...well, he is nick cave.

Dungen: 4 (2008) this modern psych band from sweden is excellent. still fairly new to me, but i'll continue checking these guys out.
[aside: I'm listening to Magical Power Mako's self-titled release from 1974 and it's insane!!! I can certainly see why the Acid Mothers named an album after him...amazing fucking shit!!!]
Eulenspygel: 2 (1971) early krautrock...first listen...very good, and i love saying the name u-len-spie-gul - 4 syllables slowly drawn out...come on, do it...it's fun!!! u-len-spie-gul...* sigh * oh yeh...this is their 1st album which is why they call it 2 cause calling it 1 would be too obvious and the drugs were great back then and let's call it 2 cause we are u-len-spie-gul!!!!!
Funkadelic: Music for Your Mother (1992) disc 1 - after witnessing early funkadelic goodness on youtube i couldn't resist putting this on the ol mp3...classic....5 stars....*****....A+....however you want rate this, you gotta rate it a-one 100% funky goodness for all our souls!!! all praise clinton!!!! and fuzzy hawkins and eddie hazel and billy bass nelson and tiki fulwood and raymond davis and tawl ross....one of my top 5 bands of all-time!!!
Hawkwind: Doremi Fasol Latido (1972) another classic i've written about raved about and it still sounds awesome and time we left this world today is one of my all-time fav songs...of all-time...i'm singing it in my head now....
Kin Ping Meh: II (1972) great krautrock! great cover of come together!!! a big help on ferry ride from hell...
Mudhoney: The Lucky Ones (2008) wow!!!! i L O V E D this one!!!!! the title song is awesome...if i did top 10 lists of 2008 this would be on it...heartfelt stooges-like rock that stirs my soup soul...WHAT????? Rate Your Music only has this at 3.29!!!!???? am i deaf??? am i losing it??? nah...this is fantastic and everyone else is insane!!! that's right...in-fucking-sane!!!!!! I am Blogger!!!!

thanks spacemetalizer - live at the Horseshoe in good ol T.O 9/19/2008!
[aside: magical power mako is kicking some serious ass right now!!!]
thanks moto717
Sly & The Family Stone: Essential (2003) disc 2 sly was (is?) great and there's a riot going on is a heavy drug album that makes ya feel like you're strung out alone in a scuzzy apartment with the tape machine going and words slur out with clarity and perception and it all makes dark dark dark sense...pssst...pass the needle will ya?????
[aside: of course, the above is merely metaphorical...]
Yamashita Yosuke: At the Blue Note (1975) disc 2 (of 3) is it yosuke yamashita OR yamashita yosuke [aside: i'm putting it at 70% it's yamashita yosuke but willing to be corrected...also i am absolutely digging magical power mako!!!] great piano based jazz from someone i'm just learning about....
I cannot imagine what life was like pre-mp3...that ferry ride would have increased my medication levels to new highs, instead, I remain calm and relaxed singing songs and dancing on air mattresses on the high high high seas, I mean on the high high high oceans!!!!!

Hey - did ya see Rowdy Roddy Piper sucking on a bong at a nightclub? He's on medical marijuana as a survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma & also had a hip replacement...Hey - Roddy, if you're ever on Haida Gwaii come on by for a visit!! Don't forget your medicine!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
babies born
babies dying
the cries of the new
the silence of death
intermingle
to create
the mystery
of tomorrow
