A really great album with truly perfect cover art and addicting single (âSwamp Thingâ) that is available nowhere to stream :( If anyone finds the vinyl out in the world let a sister know!

The Stones go psychadelic, had never really explored this one before recently. They didnât really explore this stuff further after this album and the album was the panned as a rip off of those trends of the time and the what the Beatles had done, but still give this a listen, cool stuff. This is what digging into discographies and less popular stuff is all about, finding these fun one offs.

On this day, all the way back in 1985
Two Scots brothers with wraparound shades, birds-nest hairdos and an affinity for white-noise feedback, American girl groups and the Ramones made a debut album that still ranks among the wildest things Iâve ever heard.
I saw them on an early US tour where the set barely lasted a half hour and guitarist William Reid (one of the two brothers) played in the dark with his back to the audience. âContempt for everyoneâ might be a good descriptor of the bandâs early stage and personal presence.
Legendary. Rediscovered later (around the time they broke up for the first time) via the soundtrack to Sofia Coppolaâs âLost In Translation.â

đ§This is one of the greatest proto-psych rock albums of all time. 1971. Bunch of 1st generation black British dudes from former colonies. Crazy album and crazy story. They disappeared as the album was nearing completion. There was no follow up album, no nothing, they never reappeared. The name of the album comes from the fact that the label decided to put the music out after not being able to find them for a while because it was so good that âWe Had To Let You Have Itâ. I know this because I have an original copy on vinyl and there is a handwritten note printed on a piece of paper inside the sleeve.
The track âRainâ is for my money one of the best songs written in this genre from that era. If they had been a popular band, I think it would be considered a classic.
Also, I dare you to listen to the song âThe Systemâ and tell me Lynyrd Skynyrd didnât lift the main lick of the Free Bird solo from it. Yeah, I said it.

đ·Itâs Friday night and Iâm off work late with no plans but I felt like being out in the world, even if for a moment. Turns out, a low stakes glass of orange wine tastes great when youâre waiting for a $10 burrito platter from down the street.

đ„°Iâve spent so much time scrolling on this app that Iâm able to discern some of your writing voices. There are a couple of you who have such a developed voice that I can guess you wrote a post before seeing the attached username.
Youâre all so observant, introspective, delusional, earnest, anxious, well-rounded, hilarious and loving. Kind of breaks my heart that Iâll likely never meet some of my favorites because we all live everywhere, but I guess thatâs why we thank God for the Internet!

đ§Iâve always been an adamant listener of music while on walks, at a cafe, etc. but recently Iâve feeling more anxious, more disconnected than usual. Not listening to music has helped me feel significantly more grounded, more aware of my surroundings, connected to the world around me. Also, strangers will definitely be more inclined to speak to you if they know you can hear them. If youâre into that sort of thing.
