New York, New York.......never been there, for better or worse.....obviously some of the greatest of
American rock bands have hailed from the Big Apple, to name a couple, Blondie, the Dictators, the Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, Talking Heads.......hell that is some great stuff.....obviously, not what we are talking about here though.......as we've been talking about the obscure psych bands of the 60's by region, New York's scene was (seemingly) pretty good......as this is New York and not, say, Alabama, there are obviously going to be a few more noticeable names here, Jelly Bean Bandits, Quadrangel, Mystic Tide, Ceasar & His Romans, the Majic Ship (who were REALLY good), and some others......I don't know, these MIGHT be my favorite discs of the series, harad to say, I really love them all, the differences in regional sound to me is VERY interesting, how I wish EVERY state was represented in the series, but I'm happy for what we have......two discs today and thye are very good.
Let me know how you are enjoying this series thus far, I really like it, both as a cultural "document" as well as just some damn good discs to pop into the player and groove on.......so, love ya New York, maybe one of these days I'll pay ya a visit!
