#82 – Circles Around the Sun by Circles Around the Sun

This is a fantastic album by a supergroup of the jam scene.  I became aware of Circles when their album, Interludes For The Dead, was played during the intermission of the Fare Thee Well run, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead.  Despite my mental condition at the time, I distinctly remember beingContinue reading “#82 – Circles Around the Sun by Circles Around the Sun”

#74 – Big Brother & The Holding Company by Big Brother & The Holding Company

I saw a great video on Instagram of a BB & THC performance and realized that I didn’t know anything about their catalog besides the Cheap Thrills album.  They always make me think of some friends of my parents who had a nude poster of Janis Joplin hanging over their television.  It’s hard to focusContinue reading “#74 – Big Brother & The Holding Company by Big Brother & The Holding Company”

#69 – Ty Segall by Ty Segall

Here we go again.  The opportunities presented by the original quarantine to unite the country in our efforts to track and contain Covid-19 have been more than squandered, we’ve gone so far in the wrong direction that we are now global pariahs.  The entire world would be laughing at us, but our failure poses aContinue reading “#69 – Ty Segall by Ty Segall”

#68 – The Waterfall II by My Morning Jacket

I don’t have anything that interesting to talk about today.  There’s definitely no shortage of crazy things in the world to consider, but sometimes you just need to unplug from it all for a little while.  This is a great album, though.  I never really listened to My Morning Jacket until I saw Jim JamesContinue reading “#68 – The Waterfall II by My Morning Jacket”

#64 – Paper Mâché Dream Balloon by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Anyone that knows me well has heard me talk about this band.  They’re my favorite Australian act hands down and the rate at which they release new music is pretty astonishing.  They’ve put out seventeen albums since 2011.  In 2017 alone they released five full length albums.  The depth of their catalog is matched byContinue reading “#64 – Paper Mâché Dream Balloon by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard”

#52 – Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized

I just discovered Spiritualized a few months ago when I randomly came across Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Now Floating In Space.  This is another group in the category how do I not know of these guys.  That experience definitely carried over into this one.  I really hope I get the chance to see theseContinue reading “#52 – Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized”

#7 – Gece by Altin Gun

Another Spotify discovery that I was once recommending to everyone who would listen is Altin Gun, a Turkish funk rock band that sounds straight out of the ‘70s.  Gece picked right up where On, their first album, left off.  Its amazing to hear the classic funk guitar effects and psychedelic synth parts blended so wellContinue reading “#7 – Gece by Altin Gun”

#3 – Forest of Lost Children by Kikagaku Moyo

The first two albums of this blog were the latest release by their respective artists, so today I decided to go in the other direction and pick an early album. It’s always fun to go through the back catalog of a band you have discovered, and Kikagaku Moyo is no exception. These guys are fromContinue reading “#3 – Forest of Lost Children by Kikagaku Moyo”
