Electric Music For the Body and Soul

Hello all,

I've been burning through music at a rapid pace and need an outlet to share my obsessions, even if no one reads it. So here it is, as the title hints most of the music is psychedelically inclined. But that doesn't limit me, oh no, I'm pretty much going to be posting whatever I've been digging lately which will include all genres.

So lets kick start it with some obscurities...

One of the great things about living in the NW is the large collection of psychedelic records lying around. Portland being a west coast port city, and having a rep for being liberal and open minded, it was a hot spot for a lot of the 60s San Fran psych scene to hit. So I've been finding lots of nice obscure psych music.

Fever Tree
A Houston based band that migrated to San Fran, eventually penning one of it's classic anthems "San Francisco Girls (return of the native)". But some of my favorite stuff by them I had first heard through a Madlib appropriation on the "Madvillany" album. The song "America's Most Blunted" loops a fever tree song as the back beat.



I'll give you another tune...
