Belly up to the counter at "Bob"'s Psychedelicatessen--but hang on, Seeker, because tonight you're gonna be riding the snake, HARD! I'm serving up nothing but trippy discs, from the opening blare of Dave Cloud's EIGHT MILES HIGH to the Crazy World of Arthur Brown's SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION! In between, snarf up these scintillating, iridescent offerings from the Cryan Shames, Crazy Elephant, the Deviants, a horrific pseudo Up with People-type song called DAY GLO DAY, Dave Wilkerson and Garner Ted Armstrong raving, the LSD scare flick LIKE IT IS, the Queers testifying I DON'T WANT TO BE A GRANOLAHEAD, Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, Grains of Sand, T.C. Atlantic, Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Incredible String Band, Dave Diamond and the Higher Elevation taking you through THE DIAMOND MINE...
It's an hour-long paisley tsunami freakout of psychedelia! Trust me on this one, seekers--taking that scary brown acid might HELP.
NOTE: The Deviants were doing underground garage rock shit in 1967 that was off the fucking tracks! The song on tonight's show is NOWHERE MAN. I found their LP PTOOFF! at a Salvation Army and was stunned when I realized it was done so early--it's got a growling, grating force and attitude that was the antithesis to the bubblegum tones of their time. According to some sources, Mick Farren and the Deviants were the original punk band.
