Here's the promised followup post in which we try to catch up on free & legal favesongs from groovilicious LP compilations. Of the making of music there is no end, and frankly, we're tickled pink.

the Waistcoats

From The Cure In Other Voices (The Blog That Celebrates tribute to, duh, The Cure) - Free download here - Most of The Cure classics are covered, but we were mainly excited by the two below. Admittedly our ears might be being a bit picky.

From The Active Listener's Tribute to Love's Forever Changes: Red Plastic Buddha, Smoking Trees, Doug Tuttle, Flower Drums, Chemistry Set, 39th & The Nortons

The Active Listener has just posted an excellent 17-number compilation tribute to Forever Changes, the heralded album by Sixties flower power heroes Love. Below are our favorites from a most redolent bouquet. Forever Changing is available as a free download for a limited time, so take a whiff and act accordingly.

Let's Go Trippin' w/ The Red Plastic Buddha, Rob Clarke & The Wooltones, and Frantic Chant

For those of you psych-ically inclined, we highly recommend this summer solstice compilation from one of our favorite blogs, Trip Inside This House. Our three faves from the comp are posted below. Clicking will take you to the rest. Enjoy, Voyagers-to-Be, and Hail Valis!

From The Active Listener's Latest Activation: Sunchymes, Dandelion Seeds, Green Tambourine Band, Red Plastic Buddha, Earthling Society

Shall we do our usual riff on just how freaking active Nathan Ford is over at Active Listener land? We-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll . . . no, let's not, not this time; maybe next, though, promise. We do declare, however, and quite boldly, that TAL Sampler 18 is chockfull of fabulous psych and powerpsychpop. Below are a few of our favorites. The whole sampler is available for name-your-price download at Bandcamp, and for that we gratefully thank Master Nathan Ford.

Better Than Never: The Sunshine Factory, The Red Plastic Buddha, Lame Drivers, Bed Rugs, Hidden Pictures

We hate it when bloggers pull that "we've been so busy of late that we simply haven't had time to post" schtick. But we've been so busy of late that we simply haven't had time to post schtick. So we'll simply lay down these tracks and let you evaluate. All of them are freely available, even the ones that say "buy" and/or "share."***








***Sometimes you "have to" download the whole LP on a "name-your-price" basis, a small price to pay indeed. Guess that's all for now. We've got plenty more and hope not to be too busy sooner or later.

Well, guess what: we've been enjoying "Twisted And Clover" so much of late, we're just gonna go cuckoo and post it again. That's right, born to be wild.
