CSFF: Shade by John Olson

This week the Christian Science Fiction Fantasy tour is featuring Shade by John Olson. I honestly forgot about this tour. It was a crazy weekend, and this week hasn't let up yet. I haven't read Shade, but based on John Olson's other writing, I plan to. From the back cover: "You will not fear the terror of the night." —Psalm 91 A monstrous waking nightmare is pursuing graduate student Hailey Maniates across San Francisco to Golden Gate Park where she is rescued by a towering homeless man.

Links and whining for your Tuesday

Sign reads: Local peaches on right! (Only a dullard could resist.)~*~Still recovering at home, against my will. I have assorted documentation and will therefore get paid anyway, so that is something. No thanks to anti-labor Republicans!I have debated blogging over my current disaster. But the fact is, it's embarrassing. I'll let you all guess: What is the first sign of getting old? What happens to old ladies, like clockwork? If you guess right, I'll fess up. Pretty shoddy of me, since I

Larry Coryell At The Village Gate, NYC Vanguard VSD-6573 (US Psychedelic Hendrix influenced)

No one, not even Robin Trower, embodied the essence of Jimi Hendrix' playing like this sadly unrecognized guitar god. Recorded only four months after Jimi's death, this powerful performance for an appreciative New York crowd has his spirit and some of his chops shot through it. The album's strength is undercut by a long, meandering treatment of the Jack Bruce tune "Can You Follow?" But rock-solid bassist Mervin Bronson and inventive drummer Harry Wilkinson, longtime sidemen for their fleet-fi

Jams.......

Thanks to Chris for turning us on to this stoner band from Germany... "The term Samsara is derived from "to flow together," to go or pass through states, to wander. Mostly a great revolving door between life and death and a new life reincarnated cycle of life. Samsara Blues Experiment is not only a mixture of languages, as even ideas or cults and especially musical influences. Like in those "humble beginnings" of Psychedelic Rock in the late 1960s you will find heavy fuzz-distorted guitars an

Discontinued Items Blowout

I’ve received a few emails from people who are curious about my recent decline in posts, correspondence etc. I am still without internet at the Winnebago. The deal is this; I am located at a campground that is a small privately owned place. The internet signal that I use is the wireless signal from the office and their wireless router is down. They have told me that it is temporary but, they have been out of town for a few days. In the meantime, I have been popping down the street to a friend’s

Lazerwolfs

Unlike their back story about how in the early days of internet message boards there was this discussion thread to come up with an outrageous band name for their new band, Lazerwolfs' music is pretty straightforward and their focus is pretty narrow. It's all about the heavy groove, the power-trio energy and in your face hard rock, 70s style. I can imagine how effective this kind of rock n roll will be played live. The band understands this as well. That's why they seem to have set-up their rehe

PROCOL HARUM - Broken Barricades (1971)

Proto-Prog-United Kingdom"By 1971 Procol Harum had changed forever from the band who wrote "Whiter Shade of Pale". The original vinyl release of this album was unusual in that the front cover had cut outs with the 4 playing band members faces showing through. The music inside was equally strange and varied from straight ahead rockers like "Power Failure" and "Poor Mohammed" to the fey "Song For a Dreamer". The words themselves, written, as per usual, by Keith Reid, are astonishing in their depth

Jamaaladeen Tacuma’s Unsolved Mysteries feat. Jean Paul Bourelly @ Porgy&Bess Vienna, Austria 27.09.2007

"The mystery is not knowing what will happen next is the basis and foundation of Jamaaladeen Tacuma's "UNSOLVED MYSTERIES" A purely improvisational unit that weaves musical textures out of nothingness. It is an open field. A field where once there is nothing, and then there is a lot of something. Creative improvisation at its best is guitarist, vocalist JEAN PAUL BOURELLY, drummer J.T. LEWIS, and bassist JAMAALADEEN TACUMA bringing organic musical ideas together in a loose but tight fitting trio

Favorite Willie Nelson Bootlegs

Favorite Willie Nelson Bootlegs September 26th, 2008 Live at Ebbett’s Field Denver, Colorado September 25, 1975 Ebbets Field was not a field at all, but a tiny club in Denver located on 15th street which was open in the ’70’s.  It held under 300 people which made for an intimate show.  The stage faced bleachers which were like those at a sporting arena, and the walls, the floor and the seats were covered with dark shag carpet — black, orange and brown.  Denver Promotor Chuck Morris open

Kamchatka

This is our first submission from Rochester, NY-based Grooveyard Records and what a powerhouse it is. Kamchatka take their name from the volcanically active Russian peninsula that divides the Okhotsk and the Bering Sea, and on first listen you’d swear you’d unearthed an early ‘70’s Robin Trower classic. The Swedish trio have not only perfected gut-wrenching blues-guitar riffs that erupt spontaneously, but back them up with one of the heaviest rhythm sections of the decade. Breaking it down into
