Oh, man, this is a real person, apparently. I have found this year’s summer hit.
The next time someone bothers me to do something I find offensive, this will be my stock answer: “Hell naw, to the naw naw naw!”

[Music] The Monkees – Birth Of An Accidental Hipster
Never did anyone think that The Monkees would actually get back together, but with an album full of amazing pop songs, including this one written by Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher, they have come back with full force. It’s far better than anything the surviving Beatles, Stones or anyone from that era has done in decades.
[Music] Jarda Svoboda – K horám
Many thanks to my friends at Indies Scope, perhaps the best indie label in the Czech Republic. I’m proud to support their roster of bands who continue to impress, like Jarda Svoboda, who was best known as the frontman of the bands Otcovy děti and Traband.
[Music] Folque – Fanteguten
Folque were a Norwegian folk-prog band who were active in the early 1970s. According to some comments I’ve read recently, though they didn’t make much of a dent in the American market, they were quite popular in Brazil, of all places.
[Music] Willem Breuker – Psalm 164
Sounding something like a pipe organ in a 1910s-era movie theater, here is Willem Breuker banging about on a keyboard. He was known as a saxophonist, clarinetist and bandleader, but was fearless when it came to improvising music.
[Music] Piirpauke – Fyssouni & Imala Maika
Finland’s legendary Piirpauke were among the first bands which could be termed as World Music.
[Music] Yuri Morozov – Human Extinction
This album by Russian synthesist Yuri Morozov was never officially released, probably because the Soviet censors thought it would be too weird for commercial consumption. It’s a shame, as it would have held its own with contemporary German and British heavyweights doing this sort of thing during the late 1970s.
[Music] Tangerine Dream – Phaedra
Phaedra, by Tangerine Dream, is considered a classic for electronic music, Kosmische Musik, Prog Rock, New Age and Krautrock.
[Music] Frank Zappa – Chunga’s Revenge
Some fine free-experimental madness from Frank Zappa. This is the title track off of Chunga’s Revenge.
[Music] LIGHT COORPORATION 64:38 Radio Full Liv(f)e /Fifth Album Coming Soon /RéR Recommended London
LIGHT CORPORATION out of Poland are quickly becoming one of my favorite progressive rock bands. They meld together influences like King Crimson and Univers Zero, while adding a touch of something new. That they are being released on Chris Cutler’s legendary record label, Recommended, says a lot about the quality of their music.
Visit the band’s website here for more information.
