Killer Dealz 1 by trumanwater-1
It is important that you understand what you are listening to.
1. Omar Korshid/Guitar El Chark: legendary Egyptian guitarist of the 1960's.
2. Smog/Yr Face: track from an early 1990's Drag City Records compilation. The song manages to be devotional, romantic and funny all at once.
3. The Great Unwashed/Hold Onto the Rail: the amazing The Clean in the 1980's put out a record under an opposite sounding pseudonym for larfs or whatever they call 'em in New Zealand.
4. Tame Impala/Skeleton Tiger: young stoners from Perth, Australia making the best non-retro 1960's psychedelic rock of 2010.
5. Scott Walker/30th Century Man: pioneering savant singing about the 30th century in the 1960's. "Play it cool and saran wrap all you can, be a 30th century man." Alright!
6. Skip Spence/All My Life(I Love You): mental illness got him kicked out of Moby Grape at the end of the '60's. But their harmonized version of this song really blows in comparison to this big hearted, full voiced chant he did alone.
7. Brian Jonestown Massacre/Just For Today: sort of a weird song for these psychedelic/garage miners of the 1990's to today. It occupies uncharted territory.
8. George Brigman/DMT: weirdo with a single self-released album who managed, in the 1970's, to sound like Mudhoney or Spacemen 3. The distorted guitar layering is awesome, the vocal phrasing Iggy Pop and he's singing about dimethyltryptamine; a naturally occurring psychedelic compound.
9. Syd Barett/Mindshot: the greatest amalgamator of everything that made his era into his own inimitable vision..."and my legs move the last empty inches to you...the softness...the warmth and the weather in suspense...our minds shot together..."
10. Urge Overkill/Emmaline: track by R&B band Hot Chocolate reinvented by early 1990's Chicago rockers. The guitar is way more righteous than I remembered.
