my classic rock binge has subsided (but not ended). right now im totally into early acid mothers temple. i havnt listened to them in a while, and i forgot how great they are. i love bands like this that can wear thier influences on their sleeves (ditto stuff like spacemen 3) but still sound very original. i mean its easy to hear stockhausen, faust, ash ra tempel, and hendrix in there, but it still sounds totally AMT (i wonder if they chose those initials because of the psychedelic drug). and they are one of the few 'psychedelic' bands that deserve the title. they are truly mind expanding, stockhausen atmospheres, kraut ryhtyms, and hendrix esque guitar wailing.
these records i listened to today:
la novia
born to be wild in the usa 2000
pataphysical freakout MU!
troubadors from another heaven
damn, they put out 4 great ones in like a year's time
now im listening to xenakis-electronic music
and also:
dylan-blonde on blonde
young-tonights the night, harvest moon
motorhead-bastards
