One aspect of music that has always attracted me is that there’s more of it being created out of thin air every minute of every day. Here’s a lot of it!

#1909: Dark Sorcerer
#1903: The Upsetter
I don’t consider myself a serious dude but my playlists often imply otherwise. This week we’ll dive into a collection that reflects my view of the state of our union. Classic psychedelia, modern punk, big riffs and golden grooves collide.
You can listen on iTunes Podcasts and Spotify as well!
Enjoy and have fun. Serious fun. Continue reading “#1903: The Upsetter”
#1902: Wake The Dreamer
Record-breaking cold has the nation in it’s grip and while our outer shells bundle up and hunker down, perhaps nature’s brutal indifference presents an opportunity to look within. Continue reading “#1902: Wake The Dreamer”

What’s That Sound? Drakkar Nowhere – s/t
It’s no secret that Brooklyn-based psych label Beyond Beyond Is Beyond is one of my absolute favorites.  After stumbling upon the radio show of the same name on EVR (now on Viva Radio) a few years ago I’m not ashamed to say  I was smitten.  There have been few labels whose output has turned me on as consistently as BBiB.  It’s remarkable, and a testament to the sharp ears of label bosses Mike & Dom.
Their latest release, the hilariously named Drakkar Nowhere’s self-titled debut, keeps that trend going.  It’s a breezy culmination of varied vintage influences and tight, melodic song arrangements spiced with modern pop touches. Continue reading “What’s That Sound? Drakkar Nowhere – s/t”
