Gems

There are so many excellent and rare gems of psychedelic/progressive bands from the late sixties/early seventies that hardly got any credit for what they did.

Wow.
I might need to compile a list for you all in the near future...

Photograph of the week

The essence of Sufjan.

Engine Collision Festival

I want to be at the Engine Collision Festival right now.

It is an event that has been taking place since last week (February 26th) and will end this Sunday (March 8th). The likes of DAVID LYNCH will be screening films and rare works, as well as many others.

Warpaint is playing tonight, and Shannon Sossamon (who used to drum for warpaint) will be screening an experimental video entitled "Maudegone".

Check the calendar on the website for full details.

Wishing I was there right now, and hoping I will be this weekend...

Coachella Spotlight: Ariel Pink

Chances are, you've been aware of Ariel Pink's presence in music over the last 13 years. He's done a lot. In fact, that might be an understatement. With twelve full-length albums under his belt (4 of which were released in 2006, and two in 2007), as well as various EPs, underground releases, and contributions to compilations, Ariel Pink has made his mark, and he's finally showcasing it all at Coachella. I am interested in finally seeing him live. I've heard mixed things about his live shows, but that won't stop me from actually seeing this performance live.

I can't even begin to cover all the work he's done over the years, so I challenge you to explore the vast repertoire of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti yourself.

Here are a few tracks to get you started:

KUCI

I wanted to share a bit about a radio station that you may or may not be familiar called KUCI, which broadcasts from the University of California- Irvine. I grew up with this station, and I'm glad to see that it's still going, staying true to it's foundations.

You can always hear something interesting on KUCI. One show in particular that I enjoy is Sweater Weather, which broadcasts every Wednesday from 3-5 p.m. Pacific.

It's the last good thing about radio in Orange County. No mainstream rubbish, and discussion topics that actually expand your mind!? Now that's what I call good radio.

So, if you find yourself within the geographic area of Orange County, California and you're in an automobile, turn the dial to 88.9 FM.

If you're not in Orange County/not in a car that is driving through Orange County, but still feel the need to listen to KUCI while you're at home, you may do so by streaming online at www.kuci.org
