Austin Psych Facebook Series 2013

Sorry if you haven't been following on Facebook, but here's a round-up of Austin Psych Fest videos & news, leading up to this weekend's big happenings!




The full line-up schedule was finally posted on April 10th.

There have not been four (4!) mixtapes posted at the fest site. Of course, the traditional Al Lover official mix - stream or download from SoundCloud. Then came the surprise 2-hour mix from Anton Newcombe (of the Brian Jonestown Massacre) - stream over at SoundCloud, download from here. Not much more than a week later, Sonic Boom (of Spectrum) dropped his own official APF mix-up, stream it via SoundCloud again. And that's not even counting the one (ones?) that I missed - the streaming Deli Radio mix??




And there were a couple of Psych Festers with some awesome news. Goat (#1, 2012) has an upcoming single that you can stream at Pitchfork. The Cult of Dom Keller (#15, 2011) are doing their first vinyl full-length LP - check it out!

Okay, let's get down to the videos - in daily posting order!

Open up a CAN of kraut (FB)

[Posted 12/4/2011] O Can, you so awesome...



"One More Night" by Can, from Ege Bamyasi (1972)

[10/25/2011] Did some talkin' about Can over the weekend, so I'm gonna post this and then some solo stuff over the next few... "One More Night" from Ege Bamyasi! (Astral's #4 of 1972)



"Thool" by Datenverarbeiter vs. Jaki Liebezeit, from Givt sessions (2006)

[10/26/2011] Let's start at the back. Lots of good stuff from the Givt sessions, between Datenverarbeiter vs Jaki Leibezeit (Can drummer), but I settled on this unreleased one. Search for more, or download from emusic.com!

Also on iTunes - plus Givt Return (2007).



"Gormenghast Drift" by Irmin Schmidt, from Impossible Holidays (1992)

[10/27/2011] Lil' avant-jazzy piano-forte from Can founder (and keyboardist) Irmin Schmidt. Ghormenghast Drift...



"Träum Mal Wieder" by Holger Czukay, from Der Osten ist Rot (1984)

[10/28/2011] I actually have a recent 2x10" double-EP of remixes from (Can mastermind) Holger Czukay '80s material, called "Dream Again." I believe this is the best original of the lot... Semi-titlesque!


Never could find anything good for guitarist Michael Karoli - so here's another CAN tune!


"Mother Sky" by Can, from Soundtracks (1970)

According to Wikipedia:

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Mother Sky" at number 48 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.

Patti Smith (FB)

[Posted 12/3/2011] I think I put all of these up before going out of town for a weekend. It's all about Patti!



"Land" by Patti Smith, from Horses (1975)

[10/21/2011] Nice Grantland article on Patti Smith's Horses (1975) - if you like that reading thing (or Patti). Nothing for a coupla days, so bonus "posts" meow...

And here's where this gets meaningful for punk, because the implication of "Land," and by extension the rest of Horses, is that this this stuff was in the music all along. Early rock was always in league with ecstasy and violence, even when the lyrics suggested otherwise. A cheesy party track like "Land of 1000 Dances" concealed pathways to self-escape worthy of Rimbaud.

"Free Money" by Patti Smith, from Horses (1975)

[10/21/2011] Free Money from the PSG!



"Friction" by Television, from Marquee Moon (1977)

[10/21/2011] Always seemed like T.V. And Patti inspired each other, vocally at least. This is one of my (many) favorite Television songs...

Naurorthern Borealights (FB)

[Posted 12/2/2011] Now we're getting somewhat back to naturally-occurring theme series. This time it's... well, I'll let the first chapter/post explain.



"Under Fur Moon" by Grumbling Fur, from Furrier (2011)

[10/16/2011] Gonna do a quick run through the Aurora Borealis label, they seem worthy. Newest is super-group Grumbling Fur. With people from Æthenor, Guapo, Circle, etc... Seems like something worth getting!!



"Sommaren Är Här / Orb Of The Woods" by Grumbling Fur, from Furrier (2011)

O yeah, I'm getting this one. Most definitely!



I just like to say "Caveman Battle Doom." There: I admitted it.



"Satsumo" by Conan, from Horseback Battle Hammer EP (2010)

[10/17/2011] Super-super-heavy Caveman Battle Doom from England's Conan... "Satsumo" from the Horseback Battle Hammer EP. Doom rides with Conan!!



"Reincarnate" by Murmuüre, from Murmuüre (2010)

Here's another label-mate. This time it's esoteric-ambient-folk-maybe-sometimes-Black-Metal, from France.



Guitars - no guitars - guitars - no guitars - guitars - no... Repeat until it starts to lose all meaning.



"The Seventh Goodbye" by Ben Nash, from The Seventh Goodbye (2008)

[10/18/2011] Ben Nash brings the acoustic raga drone, with a lil' free skronk. Title track from The Seventh Goodbye, on Aurora Borealis...



"In Memoriam" by The Haxan Cloak, from The Haxan Cloak (2011)

No other Ben Nash tracks to embed, so how about someone else again? This is definitely one kind of thing that I like - in a different way than the rest of the above(s). You can here more on this Klang MixCloud.

Random Jamdom (FB)

[Posted 12/1/2011] Another Facebook 2-parter! I'd really love to catch a live set by Barn Owl (#11, 2010). But here's a decent substitute:


Barn Owl - Live @ Shea Stadium by LiveatSheaStadium

[10/13/2011] Some essential space-desert-guitar-drone-psyc​hedelia, live & recent. Barn Owl, Live At Shea Stadium!! (... the new one, not the old Beatles-Clash-Mets venue.)


Woodsman - Live @ Shea Stadium by LiveatSheaStadium

Check that out! Some of which was earlier this year, the other half of which is from 2010. I got to see Woodsman at Austin Psych Fest, and I recommend doing the same...



So yeah, another two-parter here... but at least the finale is the legendary Ed Hall (story of, the)!



"Leave Me Alone" by Ed Hall, from Motherscratcher (#2, 1993)

[10/20/2011] Random greatness from Ed Hall! 1993, buddha...



Ed Hall live, Missoula, MT - 9/11/1995

I believe I put up flyers in Bloomington for the Muncie, IN, show on this tour. Was one of a few people attending, and got to hang out with the band afterwards. They were such a great band! [Parts 2, three, pt. 4, five, and 6.]

Festivalgoersdammerung (FB)

[Posted 11/30/2011] Here's some acts I saw at some festivals at some point.



"Swamp Heron Blues" from Cult of Dom Keller, from Swamp Heron Blues (2011??)

[10/7/2011] Finally, "Swamp Heron Blues!" New one from Cult of Dom Keller coming... soon-ish?



"This Is How It Feels To Live Your Life Dead" by Cult of Dom Keller, from EP3 (2011)

Not before EP3 (out now) - available from The Committee to Keep Music Evil. Keep up with CODK on Facebook, where they are very active. Also, at Bandcamp o' course.



I didn't realize The Entrance Band was on Ecstatic Peace! records.



"Silence on a Crowded Train" by The Entrance Band, live 1/15/2009

[10/10/2011] Caught these cats at our local Free Press Summer Fest a year or two ago... 'Twas groovy!



"Lookout!" by The Entrance Band, from The Entrance Band (2009)

The dreaded hippies!!



More Austin-Texas-Houston Psych(edelia)!



"You on the Run" by The Black Angels, from Directions To See A Ghost (2008)

[10/14/2011] Never saw a Hofner 12-string before The Black Angels played this tune, after which there were Hofner basses everywhere! Good show...

This was obviously posted after returning from The Black Angels/Dead Meadow show, let's add a bonus tune from someone else - but also from The Black Angels' Austin Pysch Fest of this year...



Indian Jewelry live, from Austin Psych Fest 4 (2011)

Houston's own noisemakers, from the official Psych Fest channel on YouTube.

Bordering on the Mainstream (FB)

[11/29/2011] These two are somewhat 'in there.' In that they don't fit so much with the other 'out there' content (even moreso than Miles Davis)... Also, both are some kind of official videos, which is rare enough with the Astral.



"Vessel" by Zola Jesus, from Conatus (2011)

[10/6/2011] New vid from new album from Souixsish goth majordomo, Zola Jesus... it's just like right now.



"Night" by Zola Jesus, from Stridulum EP (2010)

Did I ever put this on a blog comp yet? I'd meant to. O yeah, it's on Vol. 5... okay.



The other one is Damon Gough, et cetera.



"Oxidising Hexagons" film by Tom Fitzgerald, music by Badly Drawn Boy and Andy Votel, from It's What I'm Thinking (Part One: Photographing Snowflakes) (2010)

[10/15/2011] I'm not so much a fan of Badly Drawn Boy, he's fine for what he does. But this is how to try him out - amidst hauntology concrète and filmloric collage... with Andy Votel, and some brief nudity.



"The Shining" by Badly Drawn Boy, from The Hour of Bewilderbeast (2000)

Old skool BDB.

Upcoming & Live (FB)

[Posted 11/28/2011] These are three technically-unrelated Facebook posts, that can now be collected as all leading up to live shows that I will (have) attend(ed) in person.



"Deathbound" by Mastodon, from Crack the Skye b-side (2009)

[10/4/2011] Later this month: Mastodon!! I hope they bring puppets...



"Black Tongue" by Mastodon, from The Hunter (2011)

So yeah, they were good. One thing I noticed is that their playing-togetherness was really out there. A lot of metal seems like everyone's playing the same song, more than with one another. Reinforces my theory that Mastodon are currently going for the post-stoner-psych-metal Allman Bros.



"Bring Me Darkness" by Black Tusk, from Set the Dial (2011)

No puppets, but they did being Black Tusk - and they were almost as good!



I solo'ed this one, but ran into Poopy Lungstuffing there anyway.



"Dark Globe" by Syd Barrett, from The Madcap Laughs (1970)

[10/8/2011] I mean, does anyone NOT cover "Dark Globe?" Going to see Joe Boyd with Robyn Hitchcock tonight... probably hear some Syd tune(s) played by prime acolyte #1.

Actually only "Bike" on the setlist.



"I Can Hear the Grass Grow" by The Move (1967)

Gear!



"Chinese White" by Incredible String Band, from The 5000 Spirits, or The Layers of the Onion (1967)

Incredible!



Another Texas legend comes to toon, right around the corner - 12/9!!



"Cheese Plug" by Scratch Acid, from Just Keep Eating (1986)

[10/11/2011] The funkier side of... Scratch Acid. Dance party!! Also touring through town (Houston) later this year, on a re-re-reunion. Tix!



"El Espectro" by Scratch Acid, from Scratch Acid EP (1984)

Casa so grande!



"Mary Had A Little Drug Problem" by Scratch Acid, from Berserker (1986)

...smileapproxamilewideyour...

Various Multi-Part Mega-Suites (FB)

[Posted 11/27/2011] Sometimes a tune or video just cannot be contained by the usual 3, 5, or even 10 or 12 minutes. And at that point, it bursts the seams of YouTube, the internets, and reality itself! Like, say, a Tangerine Dream...



"Rubycon, Part 1" by Tangerine Dream, from Rubycon (1976)

[10/3/2011] Pretty awesome images to go with pretty awesome soundz! "Rubycon 1" SPACE-ACe-Ace-ace-a...

Also, here's "Part 2 (part 1)" - right.



"Ricochet" [part 1] by Tangerine Dream, from Ricochet (1975)

Great live album! Here's Part 2/2.



Miles Davis, with the jazz and all? o yeah.



"Star People" [part 1] by Miles Davis, from Star People (1983)

[10/5/2011] What is it with this place and looong tunes, mang? I've decided to explore the '80s Miles Davis, so I put this on order: Star People (1983)... 1/2 the title track!

Also, here's Part 2 of 2 - right off!



"Yesternow" by Miles Davis, from A Tribute to Jack Johnson (1971)

With YouTube's new capacity levels, that's the whole tune. So I'll give you a component part: "Willie Nelson [insert 2]" - from The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions boxset (2003).



Super-duper live footage of great band, Zombi!



Zombi live [part 1] from Paris, 10/21/2011

[10/24/2011] Five parts of live Zombi! 2011... Yeah!!

Plus, parts two & three & four & five. Rock on!



"Surface to Air" live [part 1] from Chicago, 4/28/2007

I don't think there's any subsequent parts, but that's not gonna prevent me from posting this up. Again?

Gonna See Roky (FB)

[Posted 11/26/2011] A trilogy of Facebook posts loosely developing around the then-upcoming 3rd appearance of Roky Erickson here in Houston, TX. Starting with the young bucks...



"SOL '07" by Wooden Shjips, from 7" (2007)

[9/29/2011] For some reason, I thought I had investigated SF's Wooden Shjips... but then a cool song started playing from a Mojo mag comp - and it was this. Early on, they opened for Roky! Cool, huh?



"Lazy Bones" by Wooden Shjips, from West (2011)

I'll probably try to grab one of these albums, either of the singles collections or the regular ones.



Through the torchbearers...



"You Don't Love Me Yet" by Bongwater, from 7" (1988)

[9/30/2011] Here's a great version of a great tune. Kramer 'n' Magnuson with the "You Don't Love Me Yet" single! 1988... wow.



"The Drum" by Bongwater, from Too Much Sleep (1989)

The videos from this Shimmy-Disc era were simply bonkers.



On to the headliner himself...



"Bloody Hammer" by Roky Erickson, from 2 different concerts (1980s)

[10/1/2011] THE Roky Erickson, tonite!! I never had a bloody hammer.



"Roller Coaster" by The 13th Floor Elevators, from The Psychedelic Sounds of... (1966)

Roky added yet another 13th Floor song to his Houston Continental Club repertoire!

Nineteen Ninety-One! (FB)

[Posted 11/25/2011] It's true. 1991 was a banner year for great music. And not just because I was 21, with unrestricted access to rock clubs - oh, no! On the serious tip. Can't wait to do the Top 10, 20, or 50 albums for this one!



Two years later, Sebadoh would be #7 of 1993. An often-amazingly great band...



"The Freed Pig" by Sebadoh, from Sebadoh III (1991)

[9/26/2011] It was twenty years ago this month... Wow! 1991, right? Gonna throw a few out here for awhile. First up, first off Sebadoh III:



"Gimme Indie Rock" by Sebadoh, from Gimme Indie Rock 7" (1991)

This great single was also put out the same year - banner!! Not on III, it just about says it ALL.



The new style(s) is birthed!



"Good Morning, Captain" by Slint, from Spiderland (1991)

[9/27/2011] How long since you listened to the entirety of Spiderland? Welp, that's too long... It's 1991! it's Slint!



"Breadcrumb Trail" by Slint, from Spiderland (1991)

Stunning opener! If you like that style of video, they have the album's worth on playlist, and these other guys did vids for at least "Don Aman" and "Washer."



Talk Talk? For reals??



"New Grass" by Talk Talk, from Laughing Stock (1991)

[9/28/2011] Another 20th re-issue coming soon: 1st US vinyl release of Talk Talk's jazzy, edgy, off-kilter avant-pop meisterwerk Laughing Stock. Videos blocked America-wise, but embedded in this recent Quietus reappraisal...



"Ascension Day" by Talk Talk, from Laughing Stock (1991)

Well, my iPad couldn't access any of these videos, but my super-powered computer can. So you get 2 tunes and the original article - bonus(es)!!

Finders Keepers Quality Re-Issues (FB)

[Posted 11/23/2011] This mix series was produced to support the Finders Keepers label, following the records warehouse fire during the recent London dust-up. From Facebook, from a coupla months ago...



[9/19/2011] A mash-up of that last tune appears on this Demdike Stare mix-cd I just received today from Boomkat. Since I have nothing better, I'll run through a couple of others... This is the mix: Boomkat link.



"The Dragon" by Vangelis, from The Dragon (1971)

[9/19/2011] I don't think any '70s Vangelis was less than Epic, but you couldn't be less than confident with the title track from 1971's "The Dragon." C'mon, seriously!



"Babylon" by Aphrodite's Child, from 666 (1972)

Keyboards and production by Vangelis. It's exactly what you think it is: an early-'70s Greek prog concept album, based on the Revelation of St. John the Divine.



Movietime!!



"Main Theme" by Stanley Myers, from Sitting Target OST (1972)

[9/20/2011] Oliver Reed, Ian McShane, and Edward Woodward, in... "Sitting Target" (1972)!! Main Theme by Stanley Myers - constantly raising the stakes, innit?



"Main theme" by Acanthus, from Le frisson des vampires (1971)

[9/21/2011] What next from Finders Keepers label? I though maybe Turkish folk-rock from Selda, or Devo-ish French new wave (music) of Visitors... But no, it's more OST! 1971 Franco-horror theme from Acanthus.



O wait!! I can do that exact thing right here.



"Utan Utan" by Selda Bağcan, from Selda (1976)

Selda, as you may have heard, is a Turkish national treasure.



"V.I.S.I.T.O.R.S." by Visitors, from Visitors (1981)

Visitors have no such reputation - sorry... Whatta difference 5 years and a few kilometres can make!

Champs de la Française (FB)

[Posted 11/22/2011] And now comes the triumvirate of major French dudes from '70s avant-pop and soundtrack and album louche. GO!!



"Cannabis" by Serge Gainsbourg, from Cannabis OST (1970)

[9/16/2011] So, what next?? Howsabout France? If so, we must start - and possibly end - with Le Serge. Father of Charlotte, subject of a new biopic, et cetera... Howsabout "Cannabis?"



"Bonnie and Clyde" by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, from 1968 single

Gainsbourg: Vie héroïque (2010) will be playing the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston the weekend of 12/18!



The genius accompanist!



"L`enfant au Royaume des Mouches" by Jean-Claude Vannier, from L`enfant au Royaume des Mouches OST (1972)

[9/17/2011] Jean-Claude Vannier, often heard en compagnie de Gainsbourg. Like the previous tune, this one is also from a soundtrack. Groovy!



"La girafe au ballon" (c. 1968) by Jean-Claude Vannier, from Electro rapide (2011)

From a new rarities collection, just out last month on Finders Keepers (more on them in 1 post).



The many guises of...



"L'étrange Msr. Whinster" by Horrific Child, from L'étrange Msr. Whinster (1976)

[9/18/2011] And finally, Jean-Pierre Massiera - in the guise of Horrific Child - with the title track from the weirdo-gonzo "L'étrange Msr. Whinster." Mid-'70s gnarl!



"Love Like This (Human Egg)" by Jean-Pierre Massiera, from Psychoses Discoïd (1976-1981) (1976)

From a J-PM disco comp on Mucho Gusto.

Black Angels Live! (FB)

[Posted 11/20/2011] Another series that went down three-in-a-row. Pre-mo lead-up for The Black Angels local show in Houston, with 2 openers. All got videos on Facebook, plus one more each here.



Spindrift opened up first. Unfortunately, I missed them - because live shows start way too early nowadays. Why, in my youth, headliners wouldn't take the stage until...



"Theme from Drifter's Pass" by Spindrift, from Classic Soundtracks, Vol. 1 (2011)

[9/13/2011] One month from today: Spindrift! Dead Meadow!! The Black Angels!!! in Houston, TX. Here's the first of those. "Drifter's Pass" from this year's Classic Soundtracks, Vol. 1 - they do kinda Spaghetti Western styles...



"Adavan Diazapan" by Spindrift, from Songs of the Ancient Age (2007)

Now I'm really sorry I missed them! I believe I might have also missed them opening for Dandy Warhols last time, due to last-minute food poisoning.



I have a couple of Dead Meadow records somewhere... They've done a bunch of different styles through the years. I think they might have even started out as DC Hardcore. Something like that.



"That Old Temple" by Dead Meadow, from Three Kings (2010)

[9/14/2011] I think you see where this is going... Dead Meadow, with "That Old Temple" from their last one (I think). I've only really listened to some earlier records. Planning to see 'em here in 1 month less 1 day!



"At Her Open Door" by Dead Meadow, from Feathers (2005)

I think this is my favorite album of theirs, that I've heard. Dreamy.



And finally The Black Angels. Great show, and it was the best sound I've heard for them, after a few attempts!



"Ronettes" by The Black Angels, from Phosgene Nightmare (RSD 2011)

[9/15/2011] From this year's RSD 10" EP... They should have called it "Nicöttes" or "For All Tomorrow's Ronnies." But here's The Black Angels doing "Ronettes." Drooooone!!



"Telephone" by The Black Angels, from Phosphene Dream (2010)

I like the last album quite a bit (#32, 2010). The RSD 10" collects rarities and stuff, and is well worth it!

New and Blackened (FB)

[Posted 11/18/2011] This is what happens when two of the biggest USBM acts are releasing good new albums within a month of each other - I forget to post a 3rd for the series. (Or maybe Moon Wiring Club was supposed to fit somehow into this theme?)


Also, more Black Metal New Release real soon!!



"Abraxas Connexus" by Absu, from Abzu (2011)

[9/9/2011] Let's kick off the weekend with some brand new Texas blackened thrash... ABSU! "Abraxas Connexus" from upcoming album Abzu (2nd of trilogy!), releasing early-October, iirc.



"Circles of the Oath" by Absu, from Abzu (2011)

Seeing Absu live was a life-altering experience, although I must admit Immortal blew the place up. I really like this new album a lot. Not quite as sprawling as Absu (#2 Metal Next 10, 2009), but real meaty.



I believe that Celestial Lineage is a return to form for Wolves in the Throne Room. It's always hard to tell at first, because you have to wander through the dank catacombs and climb through the grasping roots a number of times to learn the ways...



"Astral Blood" by Wolves in the Throne Room, from Celestial Lineage (2011)

[10/9/2011] Relatively trad for the Cascadian ambient USBM squad, Wolves in the Throne Room. New album sounds good from what I've heard so far!



"Thuja Magus Imperium" by WITTR, from Celestial Lineage (2011)

As introductory as a 12-minute opening track can be. This was the pre-release promo "single," but I think the album had been leaked (or maybe released) by the time I was originally posting. This tune gives you most of the stuff that WITTR is all about.

Ye Olde Britishisms (FB)

[Posted 11/16/2011] Next up, our world tour of missed Astral Facebook posts takes us to England and etcetera... Plus a bonus 4th artist for this series!!



"Vatican" by Gnod, from INGNODWETRUST (2011)

[9/8/2011] Now we're gonna get noisy... GNOD - from their Buttholesque, Catholic-tinged "ingnodwetrust" LP - it's "Vatican!" One of 2 long sides of intensity. Enjoy!!



"Untitled II" by, from Gnod (2009)

Gnod are sweet! Definitely keep up with the InGnodWeTrust tumblr, and occasionally their SoundCloud. Also, might wanna check out this MixCloud thing.



Moon Wiring somehow wedge some more modern hip-hop breakbeat stylings into their hauntological Ghost Boxism.



"Queen of Puddings" by Moon Wiring Club from A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding (2010)

[9/9/2011] Confusing English electronic music! I must admit to being a bit confused still... The Moon Wiring Club is the beatboxiest of the Ghost Box hauntological stable. The "Queen of Puddings!!"



"Slumberwick Dreams" by Moon Wiring Club from A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding (2010)

This is the only album I have from MWC, but last year they put out a good internet EP (FREE, #3b) and some cool mixes (also free, #6b).



I don't know nuffin' else about these chaps. One day, I hope to do... Sorry!



"The Todal Gleeps" by Lunar Dunes, from From Above (2011)

[9/11/2011] Here's some contemporary space-Kraut-jazz from Lunar Dunes. They're Liverpudlian, share a gtr/keys member with Cornershop, and I actually had to research that much. Lotsa good tunes on here, and a new one out this year... I like song title: "The Todal Gleeps."



"Pharaoh's Dream" by Lunar Dunes, from Galaxsea (2011)

This new current-year album seems to lean more towards the world-lounge axis, especially with additional singer and harp. So I picked a more rockin' tune for here.



The Amorphous Androgynous has a good mix CD series going on, called A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble something-something (#35, 2010).



"The Galaxial Pharmaceutical" by The Amorphous Androgynous, from The Isness (2002)

[9/23/2011] Missed a day. Here's a good one from the first album Future Sound of London released as The Amorphous Androgynous. In England... in the U.S., it was still billed as FSOL. That would be "The Isness."
