To finish up April I put together 2 hours of Japanese selections varying from Garage to Experimental sounds. This assortment came about when I thumbed through a sedentary stack of CDs leaning against a Peavey Valve King in my living room. Midway into the pile a Cosmic Invention's CD jumped out. In a rush I threw Help Your Satori Mind into my pack and listened to it in the car for most of the past week. It's a classic release and basically the same lineup as present day band Ghost. Within my research I uncovered a few gems by Green Milk From the Planet Orange, Taj Mahal Travelers and startup Acid Mothers Temple band Floating Flowers. Toward the end of the set I added a conspired track by LSD March and Bardo Pond.

Summer is moving in way to fast. Hot dry winds blowing down from the mountains tell me there's something not quite right headed this way. I can't figure out if it's just weird weather, old age or the burning embers of social unrest blowing through an already burnt out forest. Either way it's confusing. Spring is the annual renewal and I want it to stay that way. Meanwhile trash and dirt blows along urban curbs. The grit ends up imbedded in my forehead making me think this scene is conjuring up a modern day Okie dust bowl or maybe a '68 convention replay. I can only guess and dream and keep on going. Something is in the air. Do you sense it like I do? [89 minutes, 85 mb, 128kbps]
