Tokyo Flashback Comps

I don't know about you but I am a HUGE fan of what Japan's psychedelic bands have to give to the rest and especially to our Americentric ideals and culture. It's thanks to Japan that psychedelia is alive and well but to just call it psychedelic seems to rob them of the credit they're due. When that word comes to mind, the cheese comes a tumblin' over with thoughts of farfisa organs, paisley everything, and advocates of the psychedelic movement like Timothy Leary educating squares on acid. The Japanese seem to have incorporated not only the "brown acid" feel to it but with an overwhelming, destructive sound of feedback, reverb, and let's not forget, NOISE!!!
Keiji Haino, The Jacks, Les Rallizes, Flower Travellin' Band, the list goes on and on. Today, great bands like LSD March will seriously fuck you up inside if you sit down and let the music go on cruise control. So without further a do, all the credit and love in the world to the giving people at wehavenozen.blogspot.com for putting up these ultra lovely compilations of that sound, ya dig?

BROWN ACID

The Night Gallery Compilation (alchemy records)

Here is the underrated and excellent compilation by the great Japanese label, Alchemy Records. This is one that has been known to give PSF's Tokyo Flashback Comps a run for their money. If blissed-out, feedback drenched psych is your mojo, then stick your dick or vagina in the mashed potatoes because it's going to be that kind of party. Featuring lsd march, miminokoto, Doodles, Chouzu, and Up-tight. Don't miss out!

Props to japanunderground.blogspot.com (RIP) for initially putting this up for people on the web.

Psych Vomit

Fourier Mixtape for FLA records

I compiled a mixtape for the Free Loving Anarchists label after having agreed to have them release fourier material as their final cassette. They're great people, friendly, have released some great tapes, and are quite tasteful! Go to the link!

Peruvian Cumbia ala Chopped and Skrewed?!

So I stumbled upon a blog called Murky Recess that posted a mix of slowed down Peruvian chicha music now going by the name of Cumbia Rebajada. It's incredibly catchy and you can't help imagining South and Central American kids getting their kicks out of this while huffing glue and paint thinners. PSYCHEDELIC.

surf

I can't think of a song that is raunchier and it's not because it was in a Tarantino rape scene. The saxophone has more attitude than a puerto rican bank teller but in all seriousness, Tarantino has good taste in music. He continues to surprise me with his selection of quality tracks in his movies, literally, bringing them back from the dead. Think of him as a musical Jesus, rising zombified surf and soul tracks from their wake.
