Well, Cornell's review comes at the perfect time because I was just watching their performance at Lollapalooza from a few days ago, and if they were to tour again out of pure nostalgia, I'd definitely go see them again (because I saw them back in Reggio: You also reminded me that I have the VHS of Motorvision somewhere! That version of JCP is fantastic, by the way! In my opinion, Cameron doesn’t quite fit with PJ; Dave Abruzzese was better (not in terms of technique, of course):

Hi blech, I found it months ago on insensatez, but if I have to tell you, it's been lying in the depths of the iPod. Anyway, I don't think it's exactly the new album. The last album that I actually like is set' em wild set 'em free.

I wasn't crazy about "embrace," which I remember very little of, so it didn't say much to my tired 60's ears at first. But with a bit of calm, it’s starting to come through; I like it at times, and I must say that the description of "purpulan" fits perfectly. The Tame Impala you mentioned are truly talented, and God willing, I'll review them soon. You were right to mention the first Black Mountain instead of the second. The third, coming out soon, already seems like a dud, especially if the QOTSA-style single is an example of what's inside (given that we already have the QOTSA, which was something else—so what's the point?).

I have that record on vinyl, original. A friend of mine gave it to me because "he didn't do anything with it" about 5 years ago. It's a mystery that he bought it; he's a staunch garage enthusiast.

the resurrected anto'!!! what does it say, what’s going on in your area? Yesterday I shot up all space ritual intravenously in the car, and now I'm looking for it on vinyl; not having it is like not calling anyone an asshole who wears their collar up on a polo.

Well, stonerobixxx is definitely useful as a blog, recently I downloaded a clone group of Electric Wizard that’s not bad, Stonehelm. I don’t know what the guy does for a living, but he has a ton of free time. I also really like Glowing Raw as a blog, but it’s more avant-garde and a bit offbeat, yet it covers a lot of ground and you find some remarkable gems, especially on deviant music. Pharaoh Overlord were quite the obsession for me 5/6 years ago, I had the second one, but I don’t know what happened to it. I remember it as an endless grating of guitars that kept going even when you turned off the player. Let’s call it psych-post rock. Oh, another blog I liked but followed less was Illegal Cloaking Devices, always in that genre.

@bartle: I’m not crazy about the three groups of the Hawkwind Triad either, but for example, the version of 7 By 7 by Minsk is fabulous, and Harvestman/Von Till is no joke either, leaning more towards folk doom. In the end, US Christmas seem to be the least interesting, a bit too calligraphic (but they are like that on their albums too, so…). I had forgotten about the Master Musicians' release; the new Grails leaves me quite perplexed.

beautiful Bartolo! Lately, I've been diving into "inner" space, meaning I hardly feel anything at all, and the glass isn't half empty; it's simply missing, and even the table is gone. If I’ve got the genre down, I’ve listened to Mugstar, but for now, it's a question mark, and also the aforementioned Samsara Blues Experiment that Purpulan mentioned, which I’ve heard little of so far (I agree that the vocals aren't great). What do you think of the fantastic Neurot tribute to Hawkwind? Us Christmas, Minsk, and Harvestman tackling the best neurotrips of the English freaks. For me, it’s a great record. At the moment, I'm indulging in King Khan and his Shrines.

"Man must act by orienting his conduct towards values, be they those of good and evil, better and worse, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant." ...mmmhhh...you take for granted that these "values" are universal, which is a bit of the problem with all monotheisms. For the Chinese, there is nothing morally wrong in charging family members to emigrate from their country to any other and then making them work in their businesses until their debt is repaid. It’s part of the Confucian hierarchical relationship. For us, it's exploitation; for them, it’s not. Who is right, who is wrong, morally speaking? And I’m not talking about the Law, of course. So, these "values" are fortunately not universal and will never be, for the same reason that the world is not essentialistically divided into absolute dichotomies of Good/Evil–Right/Wrong. The more I grow, the more I realize how much Gray there is in the world around us, just like in every person (myself included). That’s why I believe that interpreting things contextually (you might call it relativist) is the best way to get the ham off one’s eyes with which one grows. And I was even a believer until I was 14, eh, I’ve never been an anticlerical of the parade, on the contrary, religion (or rather, religious beliefs) is something I have studied and that always piques my curiosity, perhaps because I have never been able to understand the need people have for it (and I speak particularly of the three great monotheisms, as well as pantheisms and religious philosophies). I’m stuck on Dostoevsky with Crime and Punishment, forgive my ignorance.

Ah fuck it, is it the new series Souten No Ken? Anyway, for the joy of Kenshirists: my daughter, as soon as the first star appears and the sun is setting, points it out to me and says "Hokuto!" I already know she’s going to hate me soon...
