Dulce Periculum

i was reading about ways to hallucinate without spending any money.
i found a few examples but the best of the bunch has to be sleep deprivation.
which brings me to this,
i haven't been sleeping and i have been to these strange places,
there's a man i just met today and he told me of this land where anything can happen,
he shared the tales of this magnificent place, the sights, the sounds and the wonders.
i asked him for the easiest way into this world and he said:
'close your eyes'

aren't i fucking sagacious?

Philosophy of the World - the Shaggs (outsider sunshine pop)
these gals have been hailed as the pioneers of outsider rock and i completely agree. i will admit it took me a few listens to truly find their genius, seeing as how it didn't follow my 'groove' for music. it took what i thought was right and chewed it up and spit it back in my mouth; the taste was amazing. i can think of a few people that i could show this group to and because they're full of shit, they would be repulsed by this band and shun them. if you're open minded and have an ear for music, you'll look past their idiosyncratic sound & find the real band hidden within.


Debasement Tapes - 45 Grave (death rock)
a slew of demos & live tracks, it is a definite must-have for fans of la tomba 45 & death rock in general. which brings me to this: does anyone have any Vox Pop recordings? all i have been able to find is their cover of Paint It Black and i really want to hear more. if anyone knows anywhere i can find it, please pass along the information.


Jack The Ripper - Link Wray & his Ray Men (surf/instrumental)
one of the kings of guitar. a very influential dude indeed, Link & his Ray Men certainly did a number to the surf rock scene, hell, overall music. his influence is widespread; from teenage garage trash to graveyard rockin' psychobilly, Link Wray is the man and always will be.

enjoy
