  • 13Th FLOOR ELEVATORS
    13th FLOOR ELEVATORS With such a seminal album, it’s not surprising that the cover for The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (1966 : International Artists Artwork : John Cleveland) has been borrowed such a lot, often by psych upstarts (also leaning on the music) and CD compliers wanting some of the early sixties garage ambience to rub off on them.

  • Record Dreams Catalog
    RECORD DREAMS 50 Hallucinations and Visions of Rare and Strange Vinyl Vinyl, to: vb. A neologism that describes the process of immersing yourself in an antique playback format, often to the point of obsession - i.e. I’m going to vinyl at Utrecht, I may be gone a long time. Or: I vinyled so hard that my bank balance has gone up the wazoo. The end result of vinyling is a record collection, which is defned as a bad idea (hoarding, duplicating, upgrading) often turned into a good idea (a saleable archive). If you’re reading this, you’ve gone down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. What is record collecting? Is it a doomed yet psychologically powerful wish to recapture that frst thrill of adolescent recognition or is it a quite understandable impulse to preserve and enjoy totemic artefacts from the frst - perhaps the only - great age of a truly mass art form, a mass youth culture? Fingering a particularly juicy 45 by the Stooges, Sweet or Sylvester, you could be forgiven for answering: fuck it, let’s boogie! But, you know, you’re here and so are we so, to quote Double Dee and Steinski, what does it all mean? Are you looking for - to take a few possibles - Kate Bush picture discs, early 80s Japanese synth on the Vanity label, European Led Zeppelin 45’s (because of course they did not deign to release singles in the UK), or vastly overpriced and not so good druggy LPs from the psychedelic fatso’s stall (Rainbow Ffolly, we salute you)? Or are you just drifting, browsing, going where the mood and the vinyl takes you? That’s where Utrecht scores.

  • Cosmic Cowboys, Thunderbirds, and Punks: from Austin Countercultures to the ‘Live Music Capital of the World’ Jonathan Watson
    Cosmic Cowboys, Thunderbirds, and Punks: From Austin Countercultures to the ‘Live Music Capital of the World’ Jonathan Watson 34 The Skunks at Raul’s in 1979. Photo by Ken Hoge. Courtesy of Jesse Sublett. The complex musical traditions of the American Southwest reflect the vastly diverse ethnic cultures long present throughout the region. For hundreds of years, the Southwest has been a cultural crossroads for Native Americans, Hispanics, Anglos, African Americans, Germans, Czechs, and many others, all of whom have left an important imprint on the area’s musical history. As historian Gary Hartman notes, 35 “The number, variety, and placement of the state’s ethnic communities are unique in all of North America, and they have allowed for a prolific cross-pollination of musical cultures that has given Texas music its special character.”1 Today, music continues to be a vital cultural element in defining what it means to be Texan. In recent years, there has been a growing body of scholarship that highlights music’s prominent role as a cultural force within society at the national level. For example, George Lipsitz’s Footsteps in the Dark: The Hidden Histories of Popular Music and Diane Pecknold’s Hidden in the Mix: The African American Presence in Country Music look at how music has played an important part in articulating and redefining racial and gender roles in American society. As valuable as such studies are, there is a need for further examination of musical history at the regional and local level, including within specific urban communities.2 Central Texas, and Austin in particular, can be seen as a microcosm of these larger trends throughout the Southwest of blending together disparate musical traditions and creating new forms of music that reflect the unique cultural history of the region.

  • Press Release Art & Language Letters to the Jackson Pollock Bar in The
    Press Release Art & Language Letters to The Jackson Pollock Bar in the Style of The Red Krayola Featuring Matthew Jesse Jackson John Coxon and J. Spaceman Thursday, October 24, 2019 504 West 24th Street, New York Doors: 6pm Performances: 6.30 – 8.30pm RSVP required: [email protected] Lisson Gallery New York is pleased to present a night of performance, discussion and music inspired by the pioneering work of Art & Language and their 40-year collaboration with The Red Krayola, a punk band founded in Houston, Texas, by Mayo Thompson and Frederick Barthelme in 1966. The evening will also feature a discussion with Art & Language, hosted by art historian Matthew Jesse Jackson, as well as a newly commissioned homage to some of The Red Krayola’s earliest live shows, composed by musicians J. Spaceman (of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized) and John Coxon (from Spring Heel Jack and the Treader label). After the conceptual art group known as Art & Language was formed in 1968 at Coventry College of Art in the UK, it quickly spread to New York where it centered on two important journals, Art-Language (1969-85) and then later The Fox (1975-76), by which time some 20 artists were connected in various ways with the name. It was around this time that an album entitled Corrected Slogans came out, marking the first collaboration between Art & Language in the UK and The Red Krayola, in which snippets and slogans from conceptual art theory and philosophical tracts were sung or chanted over music composed in response by Thompson’s band.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Alt-Nation: Shows to Help You Beat the Winter Blues
    Alt-Nation: Shows to Help You Beat the Winter Blues The Atlantic Thrills –Self Titled (Almost Ready Records) On their debut full-length release, Atlantic Thrills let their retro flag fly proudly from the cover straight down the songs that celebrate the spirits and sound of 60s garage, psychedelic, harmonies and surf guitars. Atlantic Thrills keep the recipe simple as far as basing everything off 60s garage rock and then buttressing the sound by sprinkling in some surf and psychedelic elements to keep the party raging like a boss. Highlights include “Day At The Beach,” which was previously released on a 7-inch last year. It will have you counting days till summer returns the “na na na day at the beach” refrain over a lead surf guitar. On “Acid Rain,” the Thrills take the verse of the Velvet Underground’s “Run Run Run” and rock it into a swirling psych rock tsunami. The psychedelic rock continues on “Light Shines,” which sounds like the bastard of bands like The 13th Floor Elevators and The Yardbirds. You know a band like Atlantic Thrills is on a roll when even their ballads like “Foreign Lands” are fun ditties that make you want to sling your arm around someone’s shoulder and sway in unison. “Holy Mountain” comes off as a stoner punk anthem, and I am not even sure that category exists. The Atlantic Thrills push that psych rock thing a little further on “Blind Lead The Blind” that has this opening tribal backing vocals and reverb drenched guitar. As fantastic as the overall audio sound of the production is, it’s one of the songs that sounds like it would be really cool if I were stoned.

  • Roky Erickson, Texas Psychedelic Music Legend, Has Died
    Entertainment & Life Roky Erickson, Texas psychedelic music legend, has died By Peter Blackstock @Blackstock360 Posted May 31, 2019 at 4:58 PM Updated Jun 1, 2019 at 10:30 AM Legendary Texas musician Roky Erickson, who helped invent psychedelic rock in the 1960s with his band the 13th Floor Elevators, died Friday. The cause of death was not immediately known. Erickson was 71. Mikel Erickson, Roky’s brother, confirmed the news in a public Facebook post that read: “My brother Roky passed away peaceably today. Please allow us time. Music and laughter forever.” “The world lost a huge light and an incredible soul,” Sumner Erickson, another brother, said by phone Friday. “It wasn’t the easiest life, but he’s free of all that now.” An official statement from Erickson’s management confirmed that he died in Austin but did not provide details. “Erickson had a visionary zeal rarely seen in 1965 when he co-founded the 13th Floor Elevators,” the statement read. “The band’s original songs, many written with lyricist Tommy Hall, coupled with Erickson’s super-charged vocals and guitar, sparked the psychedelic music revolution in the mid-1960s, and led to a new role of what rock could be. Erickson never wavered from that path, and while he faced incredible challenges at different points in his life, his courage always led him on to new musical adventures, one he continued without compromise his entire life.” The statement also included a quote from ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons, writing from the band’s European tour. Gibbons got to know Erickson in the 1960s when Gibbons was in the Houston band Moving Sidewalks, psych- music peers of the Elevators.

  • PUNK by Jon Savage I
    PUNK By Jon Savage I: INTRO I’m a street-walking cheetah with a heartfull of napalm… It starts with a feeling. I’m the runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb…. A feeling so intense and so out there that it struggles to make itself heard. I am the world’s forgotten boy… These screams of rage fall on deaf ears in the woozy hedonism of the early seventies. The singer is: too dumb, too blank, too violent. A dose of Amphetamine among the Quaaludes. He cuts himself on stage, flings himself into the audience…. Sick boy, sick boy, learning to be cruel… ..trying to get a reaction, any reaction. Anything but this boredom. Anything but this stoner ooze that avoids the issue of what it is to be young, outcast, and ready to murder a world. Is there concrete all around or is it in my head? The bloom is off youth culture as the promises of the sixties fade. The charismatic dark stars of the early seventies, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, catch this mood but by mid decade they are too successful and too old - sixties people themselves – to embody this feeling. They can write as observers but they aren’t inside it. I’m getting tired of being alone…. The secret heart of pop culture shifts from the country to the inner city. This is a dark, dangerous world. It’s a jungle out there. WWW.TEACHROCK.ORG Somethin’ comin’ at me all the time…. But after sundown, when everyone has fled, there is space. The new breed find the feeling in the midst of emptiness.

Only 1,000 numbered figures were produced, and my guess is that they will go fast. Aggronautix have discovered a very cool niche market to honor their favorite punks. Sales seem to be doing well, as Roky is their 11th Throbblehead since the first (GG Allin) back in 2009. I have seen Throbbleheads in various record stores, who I always support, but you might want to check out Aggronautix .The site not only features the figures, but also some hard-to-find punk vinyl, DVDs, and assorted items. I hope Roky Erickson enjoys this latest tribute. My advice is to set your Throbblehead right next to your turntable, so Roky’s head can bounce along to the Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators or Easter Everywhere . Just be careful who you are passing that joint around to.
