And to think, it's super, that Hall and Sutherland hated each other to death. From what they say in the book, Hall was the one who wrote the lyrics and had the "project," Roky had the brilliant ideas, and Sutherland was the backbone, along with John Ike (the drummer from the first album) and Danny Galindo (the drummer from the second). The problem with the Hall/Erickson duo was that by the end of '66, they were already having serious issues performing live, simply because they would mix up venues or wouldn't show up at all. Anyway, it seems Hall played the jug simply because he had no musical ability. He played it trying to imitate the free jazz phrases of Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, according to him.

but indeed algol, the problem is that blow up, if on one hand (and if used well) is a magazine that offers many more insights than others, on the other has created a multitude of readers who quickly become "supporters" of it, and they only listen exclusively to what it proposes (and if you happen to grow up with it, meaning you develop musically with such a magazine, you often have some unbridgeable gaps on everything that is considered too mainstream, in the old sense) At least that’s the impression I’ve gotten from many boys I know who were raised on blow up and bread. Then by now with the internet setting the rules, I assume this thing has faded, but back in the early 2000s, I really couldn't discuss anything with these people.

Absolutely beautiful Tarpit, really. I’ve never delved into solo Erickson, and your review comes just at the right time. Especially since I’m finishing reading (and if I can piece together the disconnected parts of the historical puzzle, I’ll write a review) Eye Mind, Paul Drummond’s book on the Elevators (which has some WONDERFUL photos, by the way). In fact, many of the anecdotes you mention (including the brilliant one about his signed statement from a lawyer, claiming he came from another planet) I’ve just read. However, as much as he is symbolically a quintessential figure, on the human side, his (and that of the other Elevators, see Stacy perpetually on the brink of falling into the abyss between heroin and alcohol, who was ultimately killed by his wife in '78) is fundamentally a sad story. It all happened too early; he experimented (driven by Hall's theories) with all the drugs, had the misfortune of living in 60s Texas (not exactly open-minded), underwent electroshock under acid, and ended up in a criminal asylum like Rusk, which he himself describes as the origin of the Horror imagery of his solo career. Anyway, if you can find it, it’s one of the most beautiful music books I’ve ever read (maybe it’s topped by Please Kill Me, but that’s another story).

I agree with the comments made by Fest and Dopesmoker; maybe it's just that I've been listening to this stuff for too many years. In the end, in 2009, I had some sort of rejection crisis, I download them, I listen to them, and often I find them boring. These Naam are among the best of the 09 batch, but they haven't managed to engage me seriously—probably my fault. On Rumore, no comment. I think I’m their only reader since 2002 (but even before that, it was one of the few magazines I read, let’s say since '95). Pixies 77, I love you just for what you say about Black Mountain (how on earth can anyone prefer the second to the first, I don’t get it?). Their fan rankings are terrible, and those from the last decade even more so. Also because they should really be done around 2013/14 to make sense and have the proper temporal distance. But the rush to nonsense always prevails. A bit frustrated, I even approached Blow Up; I even bought the December issue, but it still leaves me with the impression I had 5 and 10 years ago. That is, a magazine that often deals with music I care little about. To be fair, they are the only ones trying to propose something different, but some things annoy me monstrously, like that guy named Zingales, who thinks he writes well but often makes people laugh, and especially the idiotic neologisms above the album reviews to describe them. Stuff that could be made into T-shirts to mock, like mazurca dub, impronoise anal, and similar bullshit.

The live performance of Zeppelin for me too. I agree in preferring this to How The West..., especially because here Plant is a whirlwind (you're right to mention the ending of Since I've Been Lovin' You, it's truly spine-tingling!). Just the beginning of the live at Paris is already worth framing, with Immigrant Song kicking in unison and powerfully without even a "onetwothreefour."

The new release titled "Who Killed Sgt Pepper?" is available, and it’s a lovely delirium. There's a sort of psychotic soul track featuring a woman's (black) voice with the emblematic title: Let's Go Fucking Mental.

They speak highly of it from many places, and Giola you reminded me that I had to get them and I did it just two hours ago. As soon as I find two and a half hours I’ll review, that is, in a year. In the meantime, enjoy this 5.

I never delved into this because it seemed like a less depressed copy of Heavy Deavy. By a strange coincidence, however, I found the first EP under Bomp! Records in America, and I have to say that 9 years ago they were really amazing. The best thing I’ve heard, all unreleased tracks that didn’t even make it onto the Phoenix Album. If you don’t have it, get it Dave, there are a couple of interesting psychedelic suites.

Can I chime in: as I said, this album tells me very little, and the one by the Grizzly Bears says even less, especially from the halfway point on, it really gets on my nerves. And come on, in my opinion, the Fleet Foxes in terms of pure melody don’t even come close to the Grizzly Bears, no matter how much more refined they are. For me, the best pop thing I’ve heard is the EP Fall Be Kind by Animal Collective, the perfect balance between the old stuff and Merriweather. Especially since it’s short, and I like the Animals in tiny doses. @super: always grateful for reminding me of the latest Reigning Sound which I immediately tracked down!

Yoshimi in the discography of FL is a white fly; if you trace their history (and in light of this album here), the pop turn lasted about two and a half albums. And by golly, I've suddenly got the urge to get Telepathic on vinyl.
