Hello,
I have been getting into some seriously awesome shit lately, seriously. I started digging a little bit deeper into 60’s psychedelic and garage music and found some bands that have been blowing me away over the last month or so. These latest mixes, which are actually taken from my radioshow and include my sweet sultry DJ voice, feature a lot of the artists and albums I have recently been blasting on my boom-box while I freak out.
I have been especially impressed with The Outsiders (from The Netherlands, not the American version) and can’t seem to get enough of their 65-69 singles collection. Their songs have a punk quality to them but are softened with incredibly catchy melodies and a smooth vocal delivery….maybe a bit like The Buzzcocks I would say. Check out this video for the song “lying all the time”…Look at Wally Tax play that Tambourine…so life-like!
Nearly all of the selections chosen hover somewhere between those glorious years of 1965-1974. I left out so many great artists in these mixes and will hopefully have a pt. 2 post some time in the future.
Talk to you soon,

Dood. I’m psyched. Or psyched out. Or psychedelicized. I can’t tell… because I’m so psyched.
Awesome choices. There must be something in the air because I have been listening to a lot of similar stuff lately. I urge you to check out Comus and my current personal favorite, The Monks.
Mazel Tov, friend.
wow this is great, i arrived via beefheart threads and just stopped to say wow great music and ideas here.

Hey Collin,
I’m sorry it took me so long to return your message- I looked everywhere for an email address to write you at but couldn’t find one. I’m so glad you like the site (and weren’t scared off by my mushy love letter to Smoke)! I first discovered yours on a google search for Dion McGregor, and was impressed by everything I found. It’s a reservoir for everything lovely, it seems. Would you be interested at all in a mix trade? Let me know-
xo, Cait
“This bitter earth” by Dinah Washington following Sam Cooke´s “I lost everything” (combing through your archives): WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SEGUE !!
Web-Space-Waves have become silent for so long a time. Please!
me again:
Welche Wohltat, in einer Welt, in der mir täglich, stündlich jemand sagt, was ich mag und brauche und daß ich es von ihm bekommen kann, jemand zu finden, der wohl auch hofft, daß ich das, was ich bei ihm bekommen kann, mag, aber dabei doch ehrlich und bei sich selbst bleibt, und die Gefahr in Kauf nimmt, daß ich es NICHT MAG.
Ein Musikmix aus dem Archiv, der mit Os Mutantes beginnt und mit Caetano Veloso endet: ICH MOCHTE NICHTS WIRKLICH !
I DID LIKE THAT VERY MUCH !
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
