Always good to get in some good, stony metal. These guys sound like they could’ve been around in the ‘70s, opening for Black Sabbath. The singer even sounds a bit like Ozzy.

This is the latest release from the estate of Owsley “Bear” Stanley, famed Grateful Dead audio engineer and prolific LSD manufacturer. Bear spent the sixties and seventies mixing and archiving the performances of some of the greatest artists of the time, and now his family is slowly remixing and releasing some of the best showsContinue reading “#608 – Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live at The Carousel Ballroom, April 24, 1968 by Johnny Cash”

I got about halfway through this album before I noticed what the title is. I don’t want my friend Emily to think that this selection is a jab at her, but even if she does, I think her beef is really with joe p and not me.

I tend to gravitate towards guitar-based music, so it’s always great to find an electronic-heavy artist who utilizes the guitar in cool ways. I would be very interested in seeing this guy live and what kind of performance it is.

I can’t get enough of ambient/post-rock bands. It’s been my go-to genre recently for general purposes, especially for its meditative qualities.

I can’t believe that this blog has reached album #600. Although, when I began this project, it never for a second occurred to me that covid would still be such a huge problem at this point. Is it possible that the anti-vaxers are such fans of my blog that they are prolonging this madness forContinue reading “#600 – Pacific•atlantic by The End of the Ocean”
