I was in high school, near L.A., in 1984 and even the Paisleys couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be listening to. Three O'Clock/Salvation Army? (Sure.) Bang(le)s? (Yep?) Green On Red? (Ummm....) Long Ryders? (Is that Paisley?) House of Freaks? (love them, but are you kidding?) Paula's Pandoras? Yes; Gwen's Pandoras? No.<br /><br />That being said: yeah, pretty much anything by Dukes of Stratosphear works for this topic.Marsupialnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-1682136671368954942011-02-19T09:15:23.828-05:002011-02-19T09:15:23.828-05:00Love the High Dials ever since I stumbled onto the...Love the High Dials ever since I stumbled onto them in a small club in Montreal a few years back.

The whole album was sung in a made up language, and the ending of this piece just transports me. The climax of the live performance shown in the linked clip evokes the plastic fantastic light shows of psychedelia. I get chills when the drummer lets loose, pushing the experience to a new plateau. How I envy that audience.<br /><br />Another piece that has always sent my head into strange places is Einstürzende Neubauten's "Headcleaner" [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgTnyBurr8I" rel="nofollow">(Part 1)</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOrqjI1KNdM&NR=1" rel="nofollow">(Part 2)</a>]. I'd certainly nominate anything these guys recorded for use in MK Ultra experiments.<br /><br />Of course, I have to give proper deference to tunes that enraptured me at the start of the 90's: My Bloody Valentine's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft56il9bGMk" rel="nofollow">"Soon"</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYMzEplnfU" rel="nofollow">"Only Shallow"</a>.<br /><br />I could on and on, and so I'll just come down off this trip and let <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY-pcpovYPA" rel="nofollow">Portishead</a> play me out, with the "Airbus Reconstruction" version of "Sour Times".Uncle Smokeshttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j37/pat-in-the-hat/Main/Wheeee2.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-34930207948488196382011-02-18T19:51:23.735-05:002011-02-18T19:51:23.735-05:00My comment has been eated ... twice!
