089 Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

Pink Floyd begins their rise as the legendary psychedelic band and Syd Barret begins a downward spiral into a drug induced nightmare. Some of us like it and some of think that it’s unnecessary listening for the band.

088 Cream - Disraeli Gears Dec 06, 2018

Show notes

Cream laid the foundation of the late 60’s fuzzed blues based rock along side Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple. They popularized the use of the wah-wah pedal and produced a heavy yet technical style that would be carried on by many British bands.

087 Love - Forever Changes Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

Although it was a flop upon its initial release Love’s Forever changes has since become a classic of of the west coast psychedelic scene and has forever changed many of the groups appreciation of the the genre.

086 Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

Tim’s wonderful voice seems to carry this album that the group has mixed reactions to.

085 The Monkees - Headquarters Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

The first Monkees album with substantial songwriting and instrumental performances by members of the group itself, rather than by session musicians and professional songwriters. After a struggle for creative autonomy with their record label, the group had been allowed to record by themselves and to their credit we all find it enjoyable.

084 Beau Brummels - Triangle Nov 22, 2018

Show notes

The Beau Brummels’s album Triangle is a leap forward into a more creative side of the band. It incorporates fantasy elements and surreal characters into an album full of lyrical imagery, complex arrangements and beautiful melodies. All this from a teen idol band that appeared on American Bandstand and the Flintstones.

083 Love - Da Capo Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

One of the best West Coast folk-rock/psychedelic bands, Love may have also been the first widely acclaimed cult/underground group. During it’s brief period with the initial line up Love released three albums in three years. The second side only contains one long jam session song. Does it ruin the album? Lets discuss.

082 Moby Grape - Moby Grape Nov 15, 2018

Show notes

Armed with three virtuoso guitarists and five members who could all sing and write, Moby Grape had the greatest commercial potential of any San Francisco band in 1967. They quickly blew it all thanks to internal tensions, the acid-intensified psychological collapse of guitarist Skip Spence and Columbia’s hysterical hype, which included releasing five simultaneous singles from this debut album. No to mention the worst record contract of all time.

081 Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safe as Milk Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

The debut album by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band, released in 1967 is a heavily blues-influenced featuring the 20-year-old Ry Cooder, who played guitar and wrote some of the arrangements.

080 Buffalo Springfield - Again Nov 08, 2018

Show notes

The band that included Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay gives us an interesting array of songs, but it feels more like a songwriting collective.
