    Tuesday Spin Mommas

    'Cause somebody's gotta do it.

    Strawbs - Grave New World....A good but depressing 1972 outing from Cousins & Co....Silly Strawbs fans think it's about Wakeman leaving the band but non-silly Strawbs fans think it's about the Troubles in N. Ireland. I'm a non-silly Strawbs fan. As far as you know.

    Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation...Kinda cool in a freak out, psychedelic kind of way. I don't know what it all means and I'm sure they didn't either. That's okay, I didn't pay full price for this. The synths came in w/ the next album. Stuff like this and early Kraftwerk is what the British press meant to disparage as "Krautrock".

    Frank Zappa - Cucamonga Years...This Japanese import has the best sound of all the Cucamonga era cd's. So now you know. Interesting to hear the entire surf song which appeared as a snippet on Lumpy Gravy. I like this stuff.

    Blind Faith...New Japanese import. An SHM disc, Super High Material, whatever the hell that is. Sounds good though. Knowing what I now know I can hear Gretch painfully trying to play jazz during Baker's solo. Otherwise a perfect gem. Clapton plays well with others.

    Moby Grape '69...Amazing how such utter filler can sit side by side with tracks of pure magic. Not as solid as the earlier releases but a definite keeper nonetheless. Unlike most 60's Bay Area bands, these guys could sing. Harmony, even.

    Boogie With Canned Heat...The most learned and schooled practitioners of the blues from anyone who ever put mouth to bong. They specialized in North Mississippi Delta blend. Smooth...

    Gentle Giant - Octopus...Another Japanese SHM import. Holy cripes this sounds good. I've never heard it better unless maybe it was the vinyl on my uncle's rig in the 70's. But I don't really remember that.

    Sick of classic freaky retro hippie stoner music? Roll yer own & post it here!
