I understand that @HailsandAles has dubbed it #WhiplashWednesday and at first I wasn't sure if I was going to listen to much metal today, but who am I kidding.

A KILLER grind (powerviolence?) band I discovered thanks to @Easydor that I've had on all afternoon (seriously, EVERYTHING they've done is GREAT) that I won't even save for a GrindayFriday is the super weird ONA SNOP from Leeds.

If this doesn't give you whiplash, I don't know what will.

Continued thread

To piggyback off my post of Peter Kelley, just wanted to post this for those who are intrigued who want to learn a little more about him.
He was a pretty wild dude.
Check out this thing I found. This is just scratching the surface

2024 Reissue

I’ve wanted an original press of this for a long time, but there’s two problems with that.
1. I’ve never SEEN an original.
2. Even if I did, I’d have to drop a couple of hundred bucks AT LEAST.

Today, I saw this reissue and had to get it.

This is one hell of a #psychedelic #prog record, and probably my FAVORITE of the genre from the late #60s & early #70s .

A hell of a bouquet of sound for just three dudes.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Nightmares In Wonderland
1987 UK pressing

These Bam-Caruso comps are ALWAYS wild, & I came across a pair of them today & couldn’t pass them up.

These #60s songs are beyond obscure, & a few of them are straight up bat shit crazy.
The opener is a baroque, operatic #psychedelic mindfuck. It’s followed by a very SOULFUL kind of #Psych & then continues to twist, turn and morph from there.
The only band I knew was The Pretty Things.
Every song, KILLER.

BEN BOGAARDT
Ben Bogaardt
1971 Canada pressing

A wonderful, sometimes trippy #psych #folk record from a legendary family of performers.

The Bogaardts were a talented brood, and it’s on full display on this hard to find gem of a record.
There’s so much to discuss about the family, so I’ll make it easy for you.

THE ELECTRIC PRUNES
Singles (1966-1969)
2016 U.S. 2xLP Compilation

A wonderful collection of everything you’d ever want from one of the greatest bands to come out of L.A..

Sundazed always does a great job with their releases, but this one in particular sounds great. Particularly “I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night”, a #psychedelic rock masterpiece.

This collection really puts into focus just how great the Prunes were.
Just excellent.

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is the great new record 'Look Familiar' from last year (another I almost missed) by Australia's indie rock collab THE GREEN CHILD. Raven Mahon's voice is killer through these tracks of psych, electronica and rock. Partway through the first song, the feel almost shifts, the second song has vibes of The Cars, synth lines, cool guitar work. Also a Stereolab or Kraftwerk feel sometimes, too- but this rocks harder than either. This album is rad as fuck. A must hear.

ok, so a thing I've noticed with these random 10 to 18 hour sleeping sessions is that reality feels wrong afterward.

Like, I think existing -- the conscious experience of feeling and reacting to sensations or sensory inputs from your body (and mind, which is somehow perceived as different for no reason 🙄) --
is a habit.

You have to be in the flow or familiar with how existing feels. Otherwise it's unusual or unfamiliar.

This feels tautological af, but whatever. Allistic people need sad music to know a scene is "supposed to be" sad, so maybe this does bear clarification.

NEW MATH
Gardens
1984 U.S. pressing

JET BLACK BERRIES
Desperate Fires
1986 U.S. pressing

When I was on the old instance, I posted Gardens a few times with hopes people would discover it AND discover New Math, who were incredible.

Before last year, I had NO IDEA that Jet Black Berries were essentially the same band, just with a more #psych #garage angle than NM’s #postpunk #newwave approach.
Great band(s) either way. They’re both phenomenal.
