La-Luz-band-Brainwash

La Luz (light or enlightenment in Spanish) is a psychedelic surf rock band that produces music Quentin Tarantino would use to score his films. The band consists of lead singer/guitarist Shana Cleveland, Marian Li Pino on drums, Abbey Blackwell on bass and Alice Sandahl on the keys.

The sound of La Luz merges psychedelic rock with 60’s Motown doo-wop, sprinkled with surf and garage rock influences. The melodic vocal harmonies of the group combined with reverb guitar effects and keyboard jingles makes La Luz an awesome soundtrack choice for a psychedelic road trip.

Sixto Rodriguez – Psychedelic Music Genius (KJ Song Rec)

Sixto Rodriguez - Psychedelic Music Genius (KJ Song Rec) | Third Monk image 7

Sixto-Rodriguez-psychedelic-music-geniusSixto Rodriguez’s tale is one of the most unusual, sombre, yet incredibly heart-warming rags to riches stories I’ve ever encountered. Imagine being a struggling unknown musician in the United States during the 1970’s. Now, also imagine that unbeknownst to you, you’ve developed a cult following in South Africa and other nearby countries; your musical genius considered to rival that of Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones.

Sixto Rodriguez’s music is a blend of rock, folk, and psychedelic, with an emphasis on societal realities and their short-comings. This is the enigmatic story of Sixto Rodriguez, and this is his music. 

Sixto Rodriguez – I Wonder

You either live under a rock, or you walk in the sunshine. That’s pretty much how it goes. – Sixto Rodriguez

He’s more popular than Elvis in South Africa – Stephen “Sugar” Segerman

sixtoSixto Rodriguez’s recent resurgence on the American Music scene can be attributed to a documentary titled: Searching For Sugar Man (Directed by Malik Bendjelloul).

It’s an insightful, emotional, tightly spun 86 minute roller-coaster ride. Highly recommended.

If you enjoy Sixto Rodriguez and his music, consider going to see him in concert. His upcoming schedule can be found at his website: sugarman.org.

Sublime – Get Ready
Album: Sublime, Self Titled

Before cannabis was accepted in the mainstream, you had to be incognito with your tokes.

Somebody always gotta turn informer for the man
I want to know, know right now
Is there one of you in the crowd?
Are you gonna call 911, and spoil all of my fun?
You crazy fools

Frankie Paul – Get Ready

The original “Get Ready” from Frankie Paul that Sublime covered for their version.

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Album Version

I’m home alone tonight.
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight.
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly possible, with you.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we’re alone.
Think I’ve found a way for you and I to finally fly free.

When we get there, we’re gonna fly so far away,
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
Anti gravity. Anti Gravity

For years, I kept it to myself.
Now potentialities are bound, and living under my shelf.
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy, and we’ll be there.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we’re alone.
I may have found the way for you and I to finally be free

When we get there, we’re gonna fly so far away,
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
Anti gravity. Anti Gravity

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) Acoustic Version

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) Live from Mountain View 10/9/2011

Incubus still gots that good sound. The guitar solo instead of the saxophone is a sick switch up.
