Earthless

If you have 45 minutes to space out. Listen to Earthless' 2007 album Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky (Tee Pee Records)--It is instrumental and extremely heavy psychedelic music that does not shy away from an outrageous groove.

It is extremely rare that a band can keep a psychedelic jam going for more than 5 minutes without losing your interest...in fact 90% of jam bands bore me to tears. Listening to Earthless however, it feels like they could play for an eternity and you would just sit there, relishing it. Basically, this band is like LSD for the ears.

Earthless combines music that is as groove oriented and bluesy as Hendrix and Cream with Psychedelia that is as spacey as Pink Floyd and the Mars Volta, without worrying about indie street cred. No high pitched voices or drum machines....these guys just play hard, Analog, and loud.

Earthless is the type of music that Silver Surfer would dig.

How i got over

The Roots may be the only group in hiphop history that continue to be relevant on their 11th album. Everything about "how I got over" grabs you. Its groovy, its got absolutely amazing lyrics, Black thought can sing as well as he raps, and of course, ?uestlove has drum grooves out the butt.

Jimi Hendrix-Valleys of Neptune

Good God i love Hendrix, so this makes me nervous as well as excited. According to Jambase, "Experience Hendrix LLC and Sony Music Entertainment's Legacy Recordings will launch their monumental 2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project on Tuesday, March 9, with the release of Valleys of Neptune, a newly curated album of 12 fully realized studio recordings, more than 60 minutes of music never commercially available on a Jimi Hendrix album."

This is the Experience and not the Band of Gypsies but hey, its Jimi Effing Hendrix, and this is the newest Hendrix we've had in a while.

Chick Corea

Chick Corea is awesome. He uses his piano as a means of communication. This video proves that he can communicate with aliens and the 80's.

Socrates Drank the Conium

This is a short one. I heard Wolfmother's "The Joker and the Thief" the other day and thought about how much Socrates Drank the Conium Rules...listen to their song Who is to blame....it has been blatantly ripped off.

Gallery oF Mites

Tim Cronin, credited on some Monster Magnet albums as the "Mountain of Judgement", put together Gallery of Mites in 2001. He called in a lot of favors on this one, namely, the who's who of New Jersey Stoner metal. Members of Solace, Black Nasa, The Atomic Bitchwax and of course, Monster Magnet.

What you get is a punk flavoured Stoner Rock album, with a sprinkling of Garage rock that is more accessible than any Monster Magnet album (except Powertrip). Everyone here is in top form and special guest John Garcia is groovy little bonus.
