Title: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: koeeoaddi there on January 26, 2006, 01:37:49 AM hello everyone.
Ode to a Tin Angel by Hearts and Flowers. one of the greatest psyche songs off all time, from 1968. other than this, the band's output was pretty much folk/country/pop. they did just the two albums, but produced by Nik Venet, and fetured Larry Murray, who was in the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers with Chris Hillman before the byrds, and Bernie Leadon before he was in the burritos/eagles. great band, but this one song is like nothing else they did. what else is there by bands that might not automatically be linked to the whole psychedelic stuff?

A stone country-psych-soul groove. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: koeeoaddi there on January 26, 2006, 02:29:17 AM that is the big labowski, right?
dont really know who kenny rogers is, though the name rings a bell, but thats a cracking song. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 02:34:13 AM I have no idea about that film.
Kenny Rogers was the biggest-selling country artist of the late 70's-early 80's. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: jazzfascist on January 26, 2006, 07:04:02 AM The Wailers: Rainbow Country
Soul Rebel I think that 's a little psychedelic, a lot of Lee Perrys productions also sound pretty psychedelic. Tony Williams Lifetime: Once I Loved Miles Davis: In A Silent Way CCR: Looking Out My Backdoor (at least the lyrics) Søren Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: Aegir on January 26, 2006, 10:23:23 AM This thread brings to mind for me all those late 60s Everly Brothers songs which start with awesome late 60s electric guitar type stuff, and you listen to them thinking, "Wow, this song sounds awesome! I can't wait 'til they get to the lyrics!" and then the guitar solo drops out and it goes right back into their mellow harmonies and lyrics like "Last night I cried myself to sleep.."; such a fake out!

Gordon Lightfoot's - The Way I Feel (version 2). Definite psych from a terribly un-hip Canadian. I love him, tho! Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 12:03:05 PM I have to say you hooked me with that Heavyarm stuff you sent me. I got all his LPs on vinyl now!

Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 12:58:24 PM They turned majorly psych for the PACJ, Birds Bees and Head albums.
Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: Jason on January 26, 2006, 01:22:27 PM They turned majorly psych for the PACJ, Birds Bees and Head albums. Exactly. But Headquarters must have shocked some people when it first came out, considering what had come before. Those later albums are most indeed psychedelic masterworks, and among the finest the psychedelic era had to offer. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 01:34:13 PM I dig. The organ break in Early Morning Blues And Greens has to be the wildest moment in the record, in that regard.
Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: Jason on January 26, 2006, 01:46:13 PM Absolutely! I agree!

Yes, just dropped in to see what my conditon is in, featured in the big lewbowski, (which if ya aint seen it you must bow down to the genius that is Jeff Bridges....) El Dooderino xoxox suga Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 02:10:28 PM XTC have many, many psychedelic tunes in their repertoire.
Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: sugarandspice on January 26, 2006, 02:14:57 PM sure they do, but that is the album the slaps me with a wet towel... Dood its like they got in a time machine...
are you bowing down to Jeff Bridges yet????? xoxoxo suga Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 02:28:21 PM My mother's favorite actor.
I love his early work, like Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, Bad Company, Hard Driver etc. I hate the Coen Brothers. Their movies literally make me sick. Their hateful and snide vision of humanity is for the foda birds. I'll take less-crafted and flawed films that actually like their chracters, like the films of Allison Anders and Paul THomas Anderson, any day. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: sugarandspice on January 26, 2006, 02:31:21 PM Oh my god... I think they have some funny sh*t...........
Really give the big lewboksi a chance it is a great movie if nothing else watch it because John Goodman is the man in that movie.. And Steve Buschemi.... xoooxox suga Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: Sheriff John Stone on January 26, 2006, 03:33:04 PM For being Frank's daughter, Nancy Sinatra got a little "out there", especially with some of her collaborations with Lee Hazlewood ("Some Velvet Morning") and with her cover of Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang".
Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 03:39:37 PM Great choice. Sugar Town is about an acid trip.
Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: al on January 26, 2006, 03:59:53 PM Ian, if you haven't seen 'The Big Lebowski' (and that's the third spelling in three posts) you are missing a treat. It's great - and does contain some ace music as well - Dylan's 'Then Man In Me' is also featured prominently.
Honestly, you'll love it! Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 04:40:53 PM OK, I will then!

Fargo was so pointless...an exercise in copying Twin Peaks without retaining anything interesting or cool. I actually do like The Big Lebowski, but being in college I've avoided it the past few years. Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: I. Spaceman on January 26, 2006, 05:37:07 PM Thanks, brother.
I thought you'd agree. Funny how people peg Lynch as such a cold, distant, weirdo dude when he's the most traditionalist-in-a-good-way director we have. Fargo served no other purpose but laughter at the haw-haw stupidity of the characters. Northern Exposure was even better. The Straight Story wasn't ironic in the slightest. When he shows people going to Heaven, HE MEANS IT! I love that. Straightness does not have to mean boredom, it can provide a most disturbing slant on the mundane when combined with a brilliant mind (see also Byrne, Devo). If you dug Lebowski, I'll check it out (besides, Julianne Moore is my crackpot honey-doll). Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: Jeff Mason on January 26, 2006, 05:38:01 PM I always liked how the version of St Matthew on Instant Replay CD was psychedelic country.
Edge of Reality -- Elvis (sort of -- closest he ever got). She's a Rainbow -- maybe my favorite Stones track, certainly up there for me.

If you dug Lebowski, I'll check it out (besides, Julianne Moore is my crackpot honey-doll). To continue the digression just a little more...yes!!! Lynch is all about the everyday and human, but since he doesn't always present it that way literally, people run away. I agree, Northern Exposure was better and I hate that show (aside from the female lead). The Straight Story is a perfect example. The Coens, and most directors, spend way too much time trying to be clever to pull something like that off. Lebowski isn't all bad. If you rent a lot, pick it up some night if you're curious. I think it's sort of their version of a John Hughes movie -- goofy fun -- which is why I like it and don't really care for their other stuff, which tries too hard to be deep from what I've seen. Big Lebowski isn't as great as anyone will lead you to believe, but compared to their other stuff I think it's too silly to hate. It's got some decent moments, but I will say this (and if you want to go on we'll continue in a film thread): I feel like a lot of new directors, even guys I like such as Wes Anderson, try too hard to write people as they think people are, instead of writing real people. That is, they don't understand people for sh*t and are probably elitist scumbags. It's painful to see how detached their views of people are, and I assume this is why you say they hate their characters. They do. I'm anti-social as all f***, but when I write fiction I don't set out to write characters I hate, no matter how much of a loser I create in the process. You have to want to know why they're a loser and what their stance is on that. People like the Coens see life as a joke but can rarely be funny.

I got all his LPs on vinyl now! Killer! The Gourd is such an incredible poet. His Sundown LP is definitely in my top 10 fave LP's of all time. Bury it with me.Here's an odd choice for bubble-psyche- a tough Boyce & Hart 45, In Case The Wind Should Blow. This is one for all you Soft-Pop lovers. Unbelieveably, undeniably phenomenal.

Title: Re: psychedelic songs by otherwise non-psychedelic bands Post by: LaurieBiagini on January 27, 2006, 09:59:13 AM How about William Shatner's "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds", or "Mr Tambourine Man"? That's pretty far-out if you ask me. ;D
