Track:You Can Still Believe in Love
Well, well. It has been a seriously trippy two and a half months, and I awake to see a Mog-o-shfeer I hardly recognize (indeed, let me tell you younguns about the days when we used to say "Mog-o-sphere," "twenty-three skidoo" and "somebody get all these f'ing dodo birds out of my driveway"). Still and all, it is good to be back, and I hope I can get an amen out of the two of you who read this.Other than the promise of musical carnage in the up and coming World Mog War, I am thoroughly having a ball discovering the modern psychedelic movement. My pal Josh hipped me to Flaming Lips' "Clouds Taste Metallic" at the end of last year, and since then, I have also been blessed with the discovery of the Elephant Six collective. I already knew of the unfathomably great Neutral Milk Hotel, but who could have guessed that so many bands that all know each other could all be so kick ass?I know not a whole hell of a lot of you out there are really into the psychedelia (with a few notable exceptions), but for me, a serious addict who has burned through most of the vintage stuff he has heard of (oh, where have you gone, RevUp64?), the discovery of a genuine modern psychedelic movement would be like finding out John Lennon had a kid who inherited his talent (okay, that was a bit brutal; I actually like "Friendly Fire" but, well, screw it). Currently sitting through my second consecutive spin of Circulatory System, and I can feel its feel-good virus taking over. Oh, sweet weirdness, take me away like a spinning Calgon-filled marmalade vortex.Anyhoo, my kid just woke up and needs me to fetch the "disc darts" that came with the Spiderman gun I bought him today. Life is good. More on other stuff later, presumably.
