Art - Supernatural Fairy Tales - 1967

http://sharebee.com/995433bf

This a great album. Technically this is Art's only album
because after this one they added Gary Wright and
changed their band name to Spooky Tooth.
Honestly, it doesn't bring much new to the table,
but if you're into the psych of the late 60s,
then you should really give this one a listen.
Their cover of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth"
is fairly good, but "Room With A View" would probably
be my favorite on this album. A few great songs on this
album, yeah, but sadly... What really drew me to
this one was just it's awesome cover art, heh.
Still, if you're looking for some more 60s psych
to add to your collection, then you should
definitely check this album out!

The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One - 1970

http://sharebee.com/c8b41719

Sorry guys, I don't feel much like typing today,
but I decided to upload an album anyway since it's
been a couple of days, so here you go! I'll make this short...

The Kinks, a great band. This, as you can probably tell
from the album's title, is the album with the song Lola,
one of their biggest hits, on it which tells a story loosely
based off of a night that Robert Wace (band manager)
spent 'dancing' with a transvestite. I can only imagine
how long the band made fun of him for it, heh.
So yeah, great song. Great album. Great band.
Check it out if you've got time!

This shirt is an artistic statement!

The all seeing eye.

Everyone who knows me knows that is you leave me in a room with
anything that could possibly be used in an artistic way
for long enough, eventually there will be some form of art
that'll take place. Now, I consider myself I musician, a poet,
a writer, and even a novice philosopher in certain situations,
but one thing I have a difficult time considering myself is
an artist in terms of drawing. However, I did like some of the
things I used to sketch without even noticing that my hand
was moving, so I started drawing more and more and although
I still don't think I'm any good at it, I thought I'd grab a plain white
shirt and some sharpies and hope that something good comes of it.
Luckily for me, it actually turned out pretty good and if I'm ever
on stage again, you can bet I'll be wearing it! With an undershirt to
keep the sweat off of course. I plan on making more 'artistic shirts'
later on and hopefully they'll turn out either better or at least as
good as this one, but for now, here's some pics of this one.

The back.



The front.



Close up of the name.

I know it's kind of blurry and hard to fully make out,
so sorry about my shakey camera hand, heh.
Also, if you couldn't read the blue words on the side,
they read 'Freedom over life' which basically just means
that I'd rather be free then safe and freedom is
more then worth dieing for. An over used message,
maybe, but it's still a good one that I feel very
strongly about. Anyway, tell me what you think!

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis Bold As Love - 1967/1968

http://sharebee.com/d05c1750

So, I realized how much of a disgrace it was for me
to have uploaded Fat Mattress without even one Hendrix
album on this blog, so here you go. My favorite Hendrix studio album!

This is considered one of the most ground breaking albums
of all time and anyone who knows anything about music
will agree with that. Every song on here is absolutely genius.
There are just some things that cannot possibly get any better
and this album is just one of them. Normally, if you claimed to
like this kind of music but didn't already have this album,
chances are I, and anyone else, would feel obligated to ridicule you,
but the great thing about the Internet is that it's so easy
to stay anonymous and besides, that's not what this blog is about,
so your welcome. Anyway, here's one of the best albums
of all time and I hope you enjoy!

Fat Mattress - Fat Mattress I - 1969

http://sharebee.com/2d05016a

So, a while back I read an article in a magazine about Jimi
Hendrix and in the article it was mentioned that his bass player,
Noel Redding, had a band called Fat Mattress which they often
used as an opening act to save time on finding one.
It apparently annoyed Hendrix a little because this meant
that Noel would be getting paid twice for the same gig,
so he'd often make fun of it. I thought this was a pretty
interesting story, but I never put too much thought into it
until I was listening to the song 'She's So Fine' on Hendrix'
album 'Axis Bold As Love' and Immediately I noticed that
it sounded a lot different from the rest of the songs on the
album and it was definitely not Hendrix singing,
so I did a little research and found out that Noel both
wrote and sung the song. I really liked the sound of it,
so I decided to find a Fat Mattress album and check it out.
The album is surprisingly good and sounds a lot like
the style of 'She's So Fine' except without Hendrix'
bad ass guitar playing. Still, although it would have been nice
to hear Hendrix play on a few more Noel songs, the album
is still really good and original and should really be given a chance
by anyone who likes Jimi Hendrix and the Experience.

Donovan - A Gift From a Flower to a Garden - 1967/1968

http://sharebee.com/ea00b874

This was probably the first Donovan album I ever had
and it really did paint a colorful image what of Donovan
was all about! In short, the album cover is actually a perfect
match for the music, heh. Like most of Donovan's music,
it's very laid back and mellow, mostly acid folk, and incorporates
many different sounds from all over the world, but this one
is one of his earlier and more psychedelic album. Needless to say,
a young modern day wannabe hippie instantly fell in love
with this album and immediately started searching for more
Donovan albums! A lot of people compare him to Bob Dylan,
but it's really hard to hear way in this album. It almost seems
comparable to Syd Barrett's first solo album, 'The Madcap Laughs'!
This album is perfect for listening to while you're laying in
a valley full of flowers away from the sight of others on a sunny day
I know that sounds like an odd description, but trust me,
you'll understand once you hear it! Really, any fan of the hippie
counter culture in any way will love this album!

Blind Faith - Self Titled - 1969

http://sharebee.com/eda6aa18

After Just three years with the enormously successful
Cream, Eric Clapton decided he was tired of it and,
taking Ginger Baker (drums) with him, started yet another
super group which, despite only releasing one album,
has also become someone of a legend and trust be,
it's not just because of an album cover that is still
considered extremely provocative today, heh.

Blind Faith isn't anywhere near as psychedelic as Cream,
but instead is way more blues influenced which is
just the kind of thing anyone would expect from Clapton.
Still, I guess it didn't matter how badly Clapton wanted
to be a traditional blues musician since Ginger Baker
made sure to provide drum beats and patterns that
obviously influenced Mitch Mitchell who was the drummer
for Hendrix, heh. Any fan of blues, whether it be traditional
or blues rock, will love this as well as any fan Cream.
Also, if you're looking for an album with some great riffs
and solos backed up by a great band, then you too might
wanna get this album, heh.

Procol Harum - Self Titled -1967

http://sharebee.com/d2ea20ef

Yes, A Whiter Shade Of Pale might be the only song
people really know by Procol Harum, but nonetheless,
this is still a great band and a great album!
This came out in the late 60s, but it sounds almost
like either early 60s or late 50s influenced
by the later years of The Beatles. I know that's
chronologically impossible, but if it did some how
happen, then this is exactly what the end result
would have been. They album is very mellow dramatic
and has a very odd vibe about it that really doesn't
get the credit it deserves. Also, I really love the
uses of organ and piano! Maybe not everyone
will love this album as much as I do, but one thing
I am sure of is that anyone, no matter what they listen to,
will be able to stand it, so you can use it as an introduction
into old school music for all your friends who only listen
to the radio, heh. All in all, it's a great album
and anyone who likes it's first track, A Whiter Shade Of Pale,
will like the rest of the album too.

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum - 1968

http://sharebee.com/e5c824cb

Blue Cheer was once the loudest band in the world
and if Black Sabbath is the father of metal,
then that makes Blue Cheer the grand father of it.
This is another blues rock album, but it's
way heavier then most blues rock you'll
hear to date! They rocked so hard and played
so loud that Dickie Peterson, lead singer and bass player,
has literally developed callouses his eardrums!
Look it up, it's true. They're one of the many bands
to have played the song Summertime Blues,
but their version is still the most well known and loved
and Rush, who has also played the song, has cited them
as being a major influence for them. There's still some debate,
but lots of people will tell you that modern metal would
not even exist without these guys! Not only that,
but Blue Cheer has really lasted the test of time
and is still touring and has even recently released
a new studio album entitled 'What Doesn't Kill You...'
which is actually really good too! Seriously,
if you haven't checked this band out already,
then do so as a favor to yourself. Now.

1. Summertime Blues - 3:47

2. Rock Me Baby - 4:23

3. Doctor Please - 7:52

The Beatles - Revolver - 1966

http://sharebee.com/3d79c719

I'm pretty sure everyone saw this coming
especially since I've already posted all of their movies.
Yes, despite how underground a lot of the albums
I upload are, I've decided to upload an album from the
most known band of all time; The Beatles.

Now, I had always enjoyed The Beatles' music
every since I was a small child, but really just didn't
know too much about them and I only knew
about a handful of their songs too, but then when I was
about fifteen, I started to really get into them.
I bought one album from them and constantly watched
The Yellow Submarine, but then one day while hanging out
with my good friend James, he showed me a huge box of
vinyl albums he found that not even he knew where it
came from! He pulled out an album seemingly at random
and it just so happened to be The Beatles' album Revolver.
Luckily, he had recently gotten a record player
(the same kind I myself now have), so he just threw the album on
and every since then we have both been addicted
to the psych music and culture.

Honestly, there is just not enough to say about this album!
The Beatles were the greatest band ever and every album
they released was and still is amazing and loved by people
all over the world. Without them, it's almost a fact that
not just music, but the entire world too would have been
completely different. To this day, you can still feel a strong
Beatles influence on music and pop culture. It might not be
as obvious as it once was, but if you pay close attention,
you can always point it out.

The album was one of the albums that got the world
into the psychedelic counter-culture of the 60s and 70s
and even today it still sounds just as fresh and original as ever.
I've said I've loved albums before, but this one
is my soul mate, dammit! You probably already have this one,
but if not, you need to get it right now! Luckily for you,
myself, and many others, have uploaded it so that don't
have to go through the embarrassment of admitting
to the cool, knowledgeable record store clerk that you
don't already have this. You're welcome. :]
