100% totally weirdo short film from 1968 featuring the music of Bruce Cockburn. They dont make em like this anymore archive.org/details/elec...

shout out to the guy on reddit who posted nearly 1 gig of midi drum patterns of all styles. I may not ever need to program drums again and that makes my day

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

I wrote my first ever song with more than 3 chords. It even had a key change! This is big news in my little world. Very exciting!

need to check this one

"One thing I should make clear, though, is that I’m not a jerk. I don’t have to have my way. I’ll do this in a Kia Forte too."

feel free to reach out if anyone is interested in working together on soundsky etc pretty seriously thinking we could build some unique audio collaboration and sharing tools on atproto/bsky like totally new social primitives for musicians to work/share online lets can make this happen

Lets make this happen! We need it

An album i didnt know i needed I'm starting to use a Tascam 4 track & this comes along as a great inspiration Simple but effective homespun songs. guitar, bass, drums & field recordings essepienne.bandcamp.com/album/chambe...

Im asking for help to save my front teeth. As many of you might know Ive spent my entire adult life as a full time artist, a lifestyle with little opportunity to afford basic health care over the years. Ive learned that without urgent surgery my teeth will likely abscess & be lost. Anything helps! ❤️‍🔥

Nov will make 10 years since i released my debut album on Aguirre. Still immensely proud of it. I wasn't comfy with multitracking (still not tbh..) so i collaged bits and pieces together in Audacity to produce the record. Its name your price & its very far out tarotplane.bandcamp.com/album/first

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid. I wish them safe flying and a safe return

had good luck last time i asked... any ideas on what font this is?

made my first analog 4 track recording with my Teac 2340. Very dark, damaged stuff. Fairly reflective of my headspace. I dropped the audio over top of Phillipe Garrell's 1968 short "Actua"

Just released a new zikzak mix. 4 hours of American Psych from 1966-1969. Continuous Mix Free DL tarotplane.bandcamp.com/album/zikzak... Its music thats close to my heart and i hope i did justice to it check out zikzak.substack.com for background and tracklist

First time I have ever seen this. A 1968 poster for Pink Floyd by Martin Sharp

To celebrate the start of this years "British Folk Season", Im taking lessons with an insanely talented young English folk guitarist. I can now kinda get most of the way through a Michael Chapman song without making loads of mistakes and my fingers are starting to work independently. Hooray!

felt like sharing some codes for this. 3 hour continuous mix highlighting what i find to be the best in Kosmische music. see comments for codes tarotplane.bandcamp.com/album/zikzak...

My new business plan is that I am going to rob every bank. But- I am announcing my plan to do so beforehand. Every bank can inform me ahead of time if they would like to not be robbed. Ergo, when you try to hold me liable for robbing your bank, I will point out that you could have opted out.

i forgot that i made this intro to my music. Its stuff i did prior to my 12th Isle record. Its a decent intro to my more far out "psychedelic side". Free DL (even though i know many of you hate SC, its still free :-) Cover by the amazing Matthew Brandt on.soundcloud.com/ymZlvlyFDxxI...

free loops! Started making loops years ago because i had never been in a band & i wanted to learn how to play lead. These are mostly 60's american psych and adjacent. video below for examples. 140 or so. cut & looped in audacity. For use in your practice. DL in comments #guitar

Stumbled on a nice tuning after listening to Sandy Bull yesterday. Try C G C G G C for yourself. Lots of cool chord possibilities, and most everything sounds pretty because of the note similarities. Good Indian/Brit Folk vibes. Easy on the old fingers too

i make loops to relax when the world gets a bit much. Its my Soduku or Wordle i guess... Did this one today. its a David Crosby/Garcia loop from Tamalpais High Deadheads could make this their ringtone maybe on.soundcloud.com/WlSXfsYo0SsZ...

Any font people out there that can identify this one? From the 30's I believe #font

more cool Joy Division posters

As a poster aficionado, i appreciate sites like this. Wish there were more places dedicated to the artwork of that era. Load of interesting Joy Division posters at the Manchester Digital Music Archive www.mdmarchive.co.uk/tag/570/Joy-...

Wanted to alert you to my bandcamp where its almost all name your price, including my Zikzak mixes. Shortest one is 2 hours. We have overviews of Italian, Scandinavian, French, Japanese & German psych/prog. A 5 hour ambient mix & an overview of Avant American tarotplane.bandcamp.com/album/zikzak...

Label decided to drop this track from my new upcoming album. I love it & want to share because it has the craziest fuzz and echo effects I have ever done. it's too wild to fit. If Magical Power Mako was on Ninja Tune vibe is kinda what it reminds me of on.soundcloud.com/g90FJ5wTYxfK...

Very pleased that i could contribute a track to this mammoth compilation #OneMoreTune to celebrate & assist #JDTwitch of @optimo-espacio.bsky.social Some real quality on display and its a chance to give back to someone who has contributed so much to our musical culture

I think people forget the importance of aesthetics These albums were released 2 months apart. Both are extremely heavy, but only one is metal.

This may be an unusually hot take from me considering my well-known anglophile bias, but after many years, I have concluded American psych>British psych I just keep finding more insane, unknown to me gems & that rarely happens with the UK stuff. We have 4 to 5 times the population, of course

RIP Ozzy Black Sabbath was one of the first 5 or 6 bands i ever got into. I think i i have a soft spot for Sabotage the best because it was my first. Got it as a cut out in 1977 or 1978 at Korvettes. That first album though...just perfect in every way. The cover, all of it. Recorded in one day!

Few things bring me more joy than searching (& finding) new to me 60's psychedelic tracks. Been my happy place almost my whole life Crazy how there is still more to find (but there always is)

A cause for celebration

apparently there was a book on Amon Duul II and i didnt get one and they are long gone. I was just thinking how there needed to be a book on them

Been increasingly interested in the Les Disques Omnison label because most of the releases are interesting and have a cool personality. I find this one inspiring because its very free. sort of like a Post Rock Magical Power Mako tomvalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-wi...

A digital box set of my Cantus Orbis mixes from the last decade are now available for download. Four albums that focus on drone heavy/repetitive music written between the 5th / 15th centuries. I don’t own any of this so encourage you to take the ‘free’ option: iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/cantus...

it's a hot day in Baltimore & I'm walking around listening to a mix I made for @recordcratesunited.bsky.social a while back. I pulled out the stops, so if you like 60's psych like I do, you might enjoy on.soundcloud.com/bezUIMLcVoW8...

this is an album i will be proud to contribute to if you will have me

Artists/bands with most albums in my collection: Pink Floyd Throbbing Gristle Ash Ra Tempel Felt Achim Reichel Emeralds Cocteau Twins Brian Eno Nikhil Banerjee Virgin Prunes

Today I gave up on the idea I will ever be a decent finger style guitarist. That being said, this awesome pick helps bridge the gap between strumming and fingerpicking & it's very much working for me!

Reading the Hacienda book by Peter Hook and in it there is a quote from Tony Wilson from 1982 saying how much he hated Simple Minds. I found that a bit surprising as most all of SM output prior to that year was really excellent with some edge. I can see how "New Gold Dream" was too slick but still.

This clip along with the other songs they perform in the film don't get seen all that much but the Electric Banana stuff is top tier British psych. I used to cherish my VHS rip of this film

i decided to splash out on this new, insane PF book. "follows the story of Pink Floyd’s during 1967. Cololects virtually every known piece of paper written & photo snapped. 500 images, most of which are not-beforepublished or have not been republished since 1967 www.floydstuff.com/product/1929...

New interview with Insides up here, they don't do many so it makes for interesting reading! They'll be performing in London on Saturday at the @4ad.com Milk A Bull night at the ICA. I'm incredibly sad I can't go, but I did photograph them at the 13 Year Itch! outsideleft.com/main.php?upd...

I decided to pick up one of the JHS NOTADÜMBLË pedals, & I have to say it's really impressive. I don't know much about Dumble as I am not a Meyer, Bonamassa, boardroom blues kinda guy but it really adds something to the tone. Sounds different when you pair it with other preamp pedals too

It occurred to me that in 1985, when i first seriously started getting into collecting and finding out about "rock" music, the form was 30 years old give or take. My area of interest was from 1966 on, so only 19 years of history to digest. Crazy to think about how much its expanded since then

Somehow, I heard this for the first first time today. A regular fixture on virtually every prog/psych mailorder catalog you would come across since the late 80's. 1/2 the album is pretty darn good & I'm reminded of Quintessence, East Of Eden, Skin Alley & Colluseum youtu.be/VbAdW-qB7bI?...

Just got a few mixtapes from Seasonal Work Records in Northampton MA. Really lovely stuff. Excited to listen. www.seasonalworkrecords.com
