King Hannah - Foolius Caesar (Official Audio)
November 2022 with King Hannah or with Portishead, they are so good.
 
Reigning Sound The Bells

Besides Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and superb with this magnificent creature of his.

With Too Much Guitar you say to yourself, “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and instead this cursed bastard?! He lets half a decade pass and then throws you a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can’t define it… it takes you back to your adolescence with sounds full of sixties moods, R&B, soul but also imbued with that traditional American sound…
And with that bastard voice, winking… in spite of the 17 octaves of the “great singer” of which I couldn’t care less… that animates this splendid bastard…
 
The Last Drive - Devil May Care

These Greeks are really good, completely unknown to me until yesterday, savansadir

One of my favorites…
 
Get Up, Stand Up it's nice to think that this was their first song to become one of their most famous, especially for the message that is as simple as it is fundamental.
 
Frank Zappa - Packard Goose It's common knowledge now... Sunday appointment with Zappa!
 
Blues Magoos -Baby, I want You

Blues Magoos - Rush Hour (by EarpJohn)

The Essential Albums: “Mercury Singles 1966-1968”

The Rev recommends this compilation from a few years back that gathers the singles from these three years, almost all included in the first three albums, which represent the true life of the band.

Here’s my take: the debut Psychedelic Lollipop is ONE of the must-have albums of the genre, Electric Comic Book is a worthy successor, while Basic Blues Magoos closes the short but intense saga of the Bronx kids. The debut is more garage-beat, the next one more psychedelic, and the third more basic R&B.

Double feature from the second: an easy-beat and a hard-psycho…

Avalanche this song/poem for me is EXCELLENT. (for Cohen, I have no more superlative adjectives left, but this one, oh, this Avalanche is like, super?
 
Rhove - Cancelo ….sooner or later, you become a taxi driver and take your son to a party with his girlfriend….and it happens that he rips the Spotify control from you to ditch your (beautiful but) old music and blast Rhove, who you’ve never heard of or listened to.

p.s. on the way back, the old Battiato came back…it's a whole different story. Actually…there's no comparison!
 
Burnin' And Lootin' (1973) - Bob Marley & The Wailers sound depth and lyrics: one of the tracks through which I started to perceive their music differently.
 
You Don't Mean It

The Ohio Players - You Don't Mean It - Compass

I mentioned that after a delightful trip out of town we would return to the creature maxima (together with the Gories). The most interesting, varied, and enduring. So returning to the encyclopedic double album, the first side (already listened to) featured original stuff, while the second was filled with majestic covers this time of all kinds: the usual beloved Black, tributes to contemporaneous brainless friends and colleagues, pop and various knick-knacks in the manner of Michelino.

Friends and fellow Garage enthusiasts, psychedelic, psycho(able), angry and disdainful, devoted to masturbation and any exquisite vice that can satisfy our Noble primal instincts... let’s gather around this NeGro and do ourselves some good...
