Here’s some beautiful racket, courtesy of Masayuki ‘Jojo’ Takayanagi, one of the finest skronk guitarists Japan ever produced.
[Music] Wizards and Warlocks of Rock — Bandcamp Daily
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard It’s no secret that metal and stoner rock acts have long been obsessed with the occult. We’re not talking about actual devil worship—or even an infatuation with mystic texts.

This latest effort includes Keiji Haino, whose dark guitar soundscapes have evoked nightmares […]

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band were an American psychedelic rock band out of Los Angeles, California, who made some of the best music of the era in my opinion.
[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.
