The Olivia Tremor Control- Music from the unrealized film script, DUSK AT THE CUBIST CASTLE

The Olivia Tremor Control sounds like what the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band would have sounded like if they had decided not to replace Paul McCartney, after his death by car crash, with William "Billy" Shears Campbell.

Music from the unrealized film script, DUSK AT THE CUBIST CASTLE

Muddy Waters - The Chess Box Disc 1 (1947-1954)

"Groanin' and Mumblin'"

This one requires a little skipping around, but for every barroom blues that has not stood the test of time so well, Muddy delivers another song with disgusting fuzzy slide guitar and gutbucket bellowing. My personal highlight would have to be "Standin' Around Crying," which, in addition to the awesome title, features some serious caveman drumming that just may contain the birth of the blast beat, circa 1952. What? These early tracks show why this guy was hero to the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and a bunch of other great bands who knew what they were talking about.

Marble Sheep - The Gate of a Heavenly Body (2000)

"In Search of M. Wilga's Lost Bass Drum"

Marble Sheep and the Rundown Sun's Children came up in the Japanese psychedelic rock scene of the '80s, featuring guitarist Michio Kurihara. Despite showing early promise, the Sheep soon lost Kurihara to White Heaven (and later Ghost) before taking a regrettable detour into Grateful Dead territory - to the detriment of their fanbase - and developing a deeply worrying penchant for the shittiest graphic design ever, finally splitting up toward the end of the '90s. And then... they reformed with a shortened name (though with the same awesome taste in cover art) and released THIS. They call it "space punk rock." Whatever. I call it great rock 'n' roll.

Devastation - Fucking Bastards Demo

Classic CT crust. Devastation onlyl released a demo, and later morphed into REACT. This is great. (I messed up the first link. This should work OK.)

-16- Blaze of Incompetence

Light up, get high, who cares?

Bobby: Hmm, Time Machine, I would go back and live my life exactly like I have except I would not be bummed because I would know exactly how it all turns out and would not be continually surprised at how shitty it all really is.

The Perfect Prescription

A concept album about a drug trip, The Perfect Prescription by the Spacemen 3 is the foremost exploration of minimalist, droning psychedelia. The Rugby, UK band's second album is a masterpiece, with classic tracks such as "Walking With Jesus", "Take Me To The Other Side", and "Come Down Easy".

Things will never be the same, indeed.
