Clink on the link for the audio player: The Charlatans – We’re Not On The Same Trip – 1967 As strange, capricious, faulty and downright ignorant as the music often business is, the tragic neglect and criminal mishandling of one of the most influential and charismatic bands to come out
Click on the link here: The Ganjas – Raise – 2012 I haven’t posted anything on The Ganjas in a while. To get you up to speed; if you missed the last post I did on them, The Ganjas are a neo-psych/shoe-gaze/indie/experimental band from Santiago Chile. I first discovered them

Click on the link:The Nazz – Open My Eyes – 1968 Something familiar and later ’60’s tonight – 1968 to be exact. The Nazz were one of those bands that the audience finally caught up to, but by then it was too late and the leading characters had gone off
Another look at the wildly iconic genre of “Yè-Yè” from 1960’s France. This time via France Gall, another in a long line of very talented and hugely popular singer/songwriters in the early 1960’s.
