Michael Yonkers :: De Stijl Reissue Grimwood (1969)

Michael YonkersPosted on

Remember a few years back when Drag City reissued Gary Higgins 1973 psych-folk album Red Hash? Well Sub Pop, around the same time (teamed with De Stijl label), pulled a similar move with the reissue of Michael Yonkers album Microminiature Love rescuing it from obscurity. Thank you.

Now, the De Stijl label is reissuing Yonkers Grimwood LP. But, we haven't heard . . .

Pink FloydPosted on

Didja-hear? Having been originally released, forty years ago, in 1967, Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates of Dawn is being reissued. Of course the powers that be (EMI) decided to announce this three weeks after I had replaced my scratched-to-hell mid '90s copy of the bands early masterpiece (and Syd Barretts crowning achievement).

Goose Creek Symphony :: Established 1970

Goose Creek SymphonyPosted on

I spent the past four nights in nyc. Returning to my friends pad Thursday night, post bars, he surprised me by throwing on a wonderfully aged vinyl copy of Goose Creek Symphony's LP Established 1970. The juxtaposition of this rural music framed by Chinatown, wafting up from a few stories below, made for an interesting cross-cultural mix.

Mike Nesmith :: And The Hits Just Keep On Comin’

Mike NesmithPosted on

Oh yes, it's that Mike Nesmith...the one from The Monkees...the one who always moved to the beat of a different drum. After the sixties television sensation ended, Nesmith went on to follow his muse which took him back, stylistically, to his Texas roots. The result were a number of under-the-radar country rock gems that come highly recommended to fans of the '70s California country rock that permeated the canyons of that era.
