Light > Ghost” 7.1 II Alpine

One of the smoothest and most original segments of music from Leg One.

Birds of a Feather” 6.15 II, AC

At the end of the summer, this “Birds” from the first night of AC, can still hang with any jam of the season.

    All these high qual beer scare me…today I wimped out and bought Sam Adams & Sierra Nevada instead

    Skipped my daily dose of PH today in favor of Spacemen 3’s Recurring (still shocked it took me all these years to connect with J Spaceman’s music, epic fail at last fixed)

    Anyone listen to Rangda?

    Just read an intriguing review of this instrumental psych rock trio’s latest album, Formerly Extinct

    The bandmembers are guitarists Sir Richard Bishop and Ben Chasny, & drummer Chris Corsano

    Sumodie- are you a sea person? Sir Richard Bishop is a pretty cool cat. Check into the Sun City Girls
