Some interesting responses to the free psych CD blog that I posted yesterday; thanks for those, and keep your thoughts coming. While we’re still on the subject of that scene, though, I got news of a pretty amazing event in San Francisco this autumn. The Frisco Freakout promises “Good trips, organic eats and the best in California psychedelic rock” – namely Wooden Shjips, Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound, Magic Lantern, Citay and plenty more. The date’s October 10 and, like many of you I suspect, I wish I could be there. Back down to earth, here’s this week’s office CD selection. The Spacemen 3 entry is a new reissue of “The Perfect Prescription”, but unless you desperately need the CD in a “new mini gatefold digipak version”, don’t get too excited – there’s no bonus material. 1 Califone – All My Friends Are Funeral Singers (Dead Oceans) 2 Twinkranes – Spektrumtheatresnakes (Finders Keepers) 3 Various Artists – Seeing For Miles (Uncut) 4 Dirty Projectors – Temecula Sunrise EP (Domino) 5 Hush Arbors – Yankee Reality (Ecstatic Peace) 6 MV & EE – Barn Nova (Ecstatic Peace) 7 Fuck Buttons – Tarot Sport (ATP Recordings) 8 The Feelies – Crazy Rhythms (Domino) 9 Louie And The Lovers – The Complete Recordings (Bear Family) 10 Devendra Banhart – What Will We Be (Warner Bros) 11 Elbow - Asleep In The Back: Deluxe Edition (Fiction/Univeral) 12 Various Artists – Crayon Angel: A Tribute To The Music Of Judee Sill (American Dust) 13 Kraftwerk – The Mix (Mute) 14 The Avalanches – Since I Left You (XL) 15 Spacemen 3 – The Perfect Prescription (Fire)
