Luke Haines is famous for fronting such bands as The Auteurs, Baader Meinhof and Black Box Recorder, but this solo LP, 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the 1970s & Early ’80s, takes the cake, especially as the aforementioned Mark “Rollerball” Rocco was a British pro wrestling hero of mine.

[Music] The Cyclist Conspiracy – Mashallah Plan – Virility EP
I thank my old friend Mileta of the ever-stunning Serbian-language music blog valtazarzauberquelle, who turned me on to a band whom he perfectly described as a Byzantine psychedelic groove band. It’s as if Popol Vuh stumbled into Orthodoxy instead of Eastern mysticism.

[Music] Big Star – Jesus Christ
Big Star’s near perfect album, Third/Sister Lovers, is full of treasures, but this one is sublime, respectful of Christ, and perfect for the season.
[Music] Un Festin Sagital – La Procesion de la Noche Solar

[Music] Dead Meadow – Me and the Devil Blues
There’s an awful lot of good neo-psychedelic rock music floating about online these days. Today’s discovery is Dead Meadow, a band who have roots in Washington, D.C.
