I hope that all my family and friends who visit the blog to see what we are doing had a good New Year. Since finally having a break from the demands of book publishing and travel, it's been great to be at home and play guitar and listen to music (between urban jaunts with Spencer). These three albums by Lungfish and Bardo Pond are my favorite guitar-based psychedelia albums; Lungfish is closer to the sonic simplicity of the Byrds, 13th Floor Elevators, and 60s psychedelia, while Bardo Pond is closer to a melodic Crass or Flipper, or the UK psyche bands like Flying Saucer Attack, My Bloody Valentine, Spaceman 3, and that scene. These albums are worth checking out, a whole new approach to playing the guitar.
