My theme song for this year

[dawgs]

Wasn't expecting a dead meadow shout out in here. I got all kinda recs for you if you're into that stoner heavy psych stuff.

[dawgs]

While we are on aging retired hipster recs, I'll throw out the stooges "I wanna be your dog"

Glad I could surprise you. Bring on the stoner rock recs. Tastes in pysch are broad -- Dead Meadow, Black Angels, Spacemen 3, Tame Impala, Black Mountain, etc. (And above all, I'm a Pink Floyd nut.) If you dig that sort of stuff and country too, I highly recommend you check out Sturgill Simpson. Mostly badass 70s-style country, but his last record was pretty pysched out (as the clip I linked indicates).

Hell, the Stooges didn't even occur to me. "Search and Destroy" wouldn't be a bad theme song either:

Check out parson sound, kinski, destruction unit, Boris (specifically the albums "pink" and "smile"), follakzoid, eternal tapestry, moon duo, thee of sees, les rallizes denudes, acid mothers temple, mainliner, Oneida, wet hair, raccoo-oo-oon, tonstartssbandht, viet cong, can, neu.

Ranges from garage rock (thee of sees) to very experimental (les rallizes denudes), but all rooted in true psychedelic stuff, not they hippie fake psychedelic bullshit, ha.

best part about this post is i have literally seen noise music made with non-instruments like jack hammers and chain saws.

Literally? really?

[dawgs]

Literally? really?

You haven't lived until you've been to a real noise show. There are some noise purists out there that believe true noise music shouldn't be made with conventional instruments.

Ftr rage against the machine is NOT a noise band. It may sound like racket to you, but it's just metal melded with rap.

Bullshit, overproduction is the biggest thing wrong with music today IMO. Totally cuts the edge out of it. I want something raw and powerful, not something neutered and overly shiny.

True, you can overproduce and over gloss the music, and there has been a lot of that since the late 80's/early 90's and it liked to kill plain old rock and roll particularly over the airwaves. It drove a lot of potentially good musicians away from rock and pushed them to c&w or to the local/regional club scenes. With society's move away from the airwaves to get their first listen to new releases or new bands there has been a tremendous influx of poorly produced and poorly arranged music released that is making it to the airwaves. And that is where this long time rock and roller prefers to listen, either that way or live in a medium to small venue with good acoustics and comfortable surroundings/seating. Keep in mind that I am late fifties and cut my teeth on live rock and roll with The Jefferson Airplane as my first show attended in early 1972.
As far as raw and powerful goes, I have seen a lot of shows over the past 40+ years and over the last 10 years or so the most powerful, raw and unadulterated music and shows that I have encountered came from some of the long time acts from back in the 70's, 80's and a few from the 90's. Either that or the blues performers such as Jonny Lang, KW Shepherd, Joe Bonomassa, etc.

As long as it isn't "Catch Us If You Can" --they did

The modern rock stuff on the radio is terrible. Imagine dragons, Mumford and sons, etc. radio has long been a terrible representation of good music though. At least since the mid 70s or so, with the early 90s kinda being a brief hiccup where grunge took over the airwaves and caught the labels and radio stations off guard.

I pretty much rarely see bands these days playing larger than 1000 capacity venues. That's where guitar music resides these days, and I'm fine with that. Cheap tickets, cheap beer, better shows. It's a lot easier to blow the roof off a small room than a giant arena.

I wonder how many of our players know any of these songs bc I have to be honest I don't know any of them.

They don't. This song would give most of our players headaches before they run out the tunnel. I know this music is for some people, but we are in an almost exclusively hip-hop age when it comes to pump-up music for college athletes.

Well Zach de la rocha was on one of the best rap tracks of 2014 on one of the best rap albums in several years last year - run the jewels "close your eyes (and count to f%&@)". So at least they might be aware of RATM's existence.

There's some solid stuff in there, man. Had only heard of a four of five of those bands. Follakzoid and Eternal Tapestry seem especially up my alley.

Just based upon your recs, I'm not sure I can reciprocate too well. (Aside from the kraut rock, for instance, the foreign stuff was all news to me.) But a few are coming to mind. If you want to continue our trippy web-based cultural exchange on the OT board, I'm game.

sounds good. i'm always looking to discuss random music that very few of my real life friends care to listen to. eternal tapestry is a local band for me, so i see them open for other psych and experimental bands all the time.
