Redeemer

LA psychedelic/folk/destert/rock artist Imaad Wasif is a man of pure psych-rock feeling. He does his thing and let nothing come in his way. With the sound of witchcraft and black magic in flavor he creates a brilliant sound that lands somewhere between The Entrance Band and Goldden Animals. In 2008 he released his first album together with a band called Two Part Beast called "Strange Hexes", In 2009 he released the second album "The Voidist", this time only with the name Imaad Wasif. Here's a little earcandy for you:

guided tours by the voice of the man in the mirror
he is neither me nor you
loosing touch with your breath, you cant feel your body
eating yourself over and over
colors in the darkness, pieces of awareness
falling in place one by one
the only thing left is the music within me
as the voice falls down in the deep black sea
now i can feel it, now i can see it
the power of love
the power of mind

Hmm. what is this? A video for the Jimi Hendrix song Valleys of Neptu.... HOLY FUCK!

In March, 9 this year a new Jimi Hendrix album was released. With 12 remastered previously unreleased songs. The name of the album is "Valleys of Neptune", same name as the hit song of the album. I've heard the song and the whole album and yeah, sure, It's alright. But I haven't seen the video to the song before.. I just have to say hold on guys, this is one hell of a trip....

“All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?”
-Ozzy Osbourne



Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Yellow Submarine in 3D!

In 1968 The Beatles made a cartoon movie called "Yellow Submarine", It shows us their journey to Pepperland. Through places like "the foothills of the headland" and "the sea of time" you follow them on their way of saving Pepperland from the blue meanies with singing like Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heartsclub Band in the good old days of, Yes,  Pepperland.
       Now however the movie is being recreated in 3D and is going to be released in 2013. Read more here.


Clips from the original 1968 movie:

Alice in in time, Alice in your mind

It's not that strange that Grace Slick got stuck in the 1951 Alice in Wonderland..
        It's genious


Alice in Wonderland - In a world of my own

Wouldn't it be boring if the northern lights were black and white?

Perpetual moonshine
And glowing treetops
Northern lights dancing in the stars
Diffuse smoke hangin' from beneith
Pouring up through the cold air
Like a waterfall from the other side of the world

Footsteps in the newly fallen snow
Show's where I am, points where I should be
The glow from my cigarette sparkles in my eye
Streams of light
Hits the winternight
Cold cheeks blooming of red
Dry lips calling for you across the sky
Fading into the turquoise nightsky
Alongside the smoke from my lounges

Where are you?
When will you get here?
When will you come?
Wouldn't it be boring if the northern lights were black and white?

Golden Animals

Golden Animals is a band with the western desert, folk, psychedelic, blues drepression sound. They first released a selftitled four track-Singel/EP in 2007, in 2008 they released their debut album called "Free Your Mind and Win a Pony" with the hit "The Steady Roller". I would really love to see these guys..
       The band is made of Tommy (Vocals and guitar) and Linda (Drums and backup vocals), who one night met in a street in Brooklyn. For three years they went around the west US in a van and crashed and played in abandoned houses. Although somehow they managed to do a UK and US tour...
       Let's just hope that soon they will get a world tour and get's the fame they deserve..

Golden Animals - Hi/Lo

Turn off your mind, Relax and Float downstream

The Beatles producer George Martin and his son remastered some Beatles songs and mixed them together in different ways. It became the album called "Love" and was released in 2006. All the songs in the album is put together so that it works as one long track, more or less. Giving you an amazing trip through The Bealtes gold-sound from Abbey Road.
       Here's a trippy and awesome video for one of the tracks which is "Within you without you" mixed together with "Tomorrow never knows".


The Beatles - Within You Without You

Quest For Fire

Quest For Fire is a band who started off with a selftitled album in 2009 which was great. They've got the dark and more underground sound of the psychedelic rock. In August 2010 they released a second album called "Lights From Paradise" with more attitude and more darkness than the first album. Starting with somewhat of a hit called "The Greatest Hits By God", and it really is, the whole album is the greatest hits by god. That is, if Jimi Hendrix were god. The last song on the album is a long one, a journey through time. It's called "Sessions of Light" and it is 9:23 long. Which I think is great, I love long psychedelic songs.
        If you dig BRMC, The Entrance Band, Imaad Wasif or just a bit heavier psychedelic rock that puts you into trance, Check it out on Spotify.

Creativity

Let's look at some funny and trippy stuff to do when you really have nothing to do.

• Look at spacekittens (Click on the picture)

• Play with a kaleidoscope that isn't there.

•  Paint fucked up universe pictures in Flame Painter

•  Laugh at this Simon and Garfunkel-gif because you own the album but never saw it in this way.

Roky & his Black Angels

As all of you know Roky Erickson is a huge legend in the psychedelic music history. Once upon a time he was the lead singer of The 13th Floor Elevators and took acid every day for a entire year. Then also, in 1968 he was declared with schizophrenia and 1969 he got busted for having one (1 !!!!!!) joint of Marijuana on him. He got 10 years of prison but Roky then said he was insane and it wasn't his fault. So instead he ended up in the hospital for people who are mentally sick.
       Anyhow now this god of drugs, thoughts and psychedelics is back playing with The Black Angels and together they are now releasing a DVD from a 2008 performance together called "Night of the Vampire". I'm sure it will be amazing. Really psyched to get to see it!!
       Turn on, Tune in, Drop out you fucking pushers.


Roky Erickson & The Black Angels - You're Gonna Miss Me

Hunter S Thompson once said:

"There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die."
—Gonzo Papers, Vol. 2: Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s, 1988

Aliens made out of water

This dude is so fucking far out he's not even standing on the ground, he's more likely to float around, hoovering over the ground instead of walking on it. This dude is made out of 72% water and 28% grass. And he's favorite website is probably hempclothing.com.

You're stoned out of your mind man.

When the white rabbit peaks, would you be so kind as to throw this tape recorder into the bathtub with me?

Wonderwall
