Show 80 - Playlist 5/25/2014

In the urban meadow east of the mountains tornado sirens blare a sinister drone, so naturally I get thisshow going with a drone by Zomes. A storm begins with billowing clouds and progresses to swirling  chaos. Look for that storyline as this playlist develops. The Japanese psych group Kikagaku Moyo can deliver blue sky or chaos. They just completed a west coast tour which included performances in Denver, plus the L.A. Psych Fest and the Austin Psych Fest. Their Denver performance at Rhinoceropolis was incredible as is their latest LP, Forest of Lost Children. The pivotal tune in this weather forecast is by Electric Wizard which proves they are more than a doom metal act. A duel of U.S. and Japanese artists whirl and push toward the final tone/tempo Merzbow [Masami Akita, artist in noise] mayhem. Don't head for the storm shelter without grooving to the 80th episode of Vitamin Fuzz Radio.

Show 79 - Playlist 5/4/2014

Relax and sit face-to-face with the clear light (リラックスして、クリア光で対面に座る) just as Peter Walker, John Lennon and Brian Jones witnessed long ago in the 60's. The Sufi trance floated from a dusty Moroccan village, as it had for 1200 years, then burst from the experimental Folkie Beats along the streets of Harvard Square and maybe rode all night along forsaken Grapes of Wrath highways or clinging to windy freight cars hoping to boom from Brighton Boulevard warehouse walls. Experience the trance, the drone, the repetition, the Timothy Leary Void. (haha!) "Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, float downstream," Nietzsche, 1954. Transcend the industrial complex. So goes the 79th episode of mirky sinTHetik Vitamin Fuzz. Is now really now?

note: wear life preserver while floating downstream, Kikagaku Moyo on tour now
