‘North by North’ by The Bats
a transcendent highlight of #80s #NewZealand rock on #FlyingNun
‘Drone Refusenik’ by The December Sound
current Boston phenom; this one of the best revisitings of late-80s/early-90s UK psych/’gaze
‘Radiation’ by Suicide
grimness & beauty coexist in this pulsing/buzzing “no wave.” not ruined at all by Ric Ocasek production (1980)
‘A Question Of Temperature’ by The Balloon Farm
more of a 60s studio project than a band, but garage heads go ape for it. covered by Human Sexual Response.
‘Islands’ by Flying Saucer Attack
from relatively late in his/their career (‘00), this will exhale you into the upper atmosphere
‘Selling Me Short While Stringing Me Long’ by Bobb Trimble
strangely aching beauty…
‘Gong With The Luminous Nose’ by Les Fleur De Lys
Wild & woolly late-60s UK post-freakbeat psych, with apologies to Edward Lear
‘Tartarex’ by The Petards
cool 60s/70s German band — and a song that just hits some swank resonances. Groovy hardrock w/ mellotron
‘Khun Narin Racing Pin 8’ by Kŭn Ná-rít Sĭn Pin Bprà-yúk
picnic psych jam in Thailand! Google Translate says that means “Khun John Ritter’s Harp Gallery application”??
‘Wolf City’ by Amon Düül II
I never seem to not be in the mood for this one
