Mr. Destroyer.

Yet another Ohio rocker here. Poobah's 1972 album "Let Me In", deserves a much higher number in the pantheon of great rock records. The album perfectly balances the blistering acid-fuzz with a nice mixture of tempos and moods. Some slightly flying off the rails and others maintaining there working class roots. Either way it's a fucking doozy. This has recently gotten the reissue treatment and now has twelve bonus tracks too and unlike many other reissues they are in fact bonus tracks and not just "What can we add to this to make it seem cooler and longer than it really needs to be". Put this on after you get back from that holiday party that you don't want to go to but have to. http://www.mediafire.com/?ean029n00c83d

Garden of Elks.

Ah December. The month where everyone starts to loose utter shit over a pagan holiday turned material shopping extravaganza. I choose to deal with it by immersing myself in a mire of sounds that are cavernous and easy to get lost in. The A-number One record for this is from Swedish psych outfit Algarnas Tradgard. Roughly translating to "Garden of the Elks", Algarnas Tradgard sculpt a druggie sound that never seems to pussyfoot away from the listener. Instead of wandering into self absorbed heady territory, the album floats in a colorful wave of semi-consciousness and blinding white day dreams. Kind of funny too how this album seems more kraut rock than even the Germans could produce. This is a desert island record for me. Always reminds me of December. A private opium den for me to get lost for a month in.
