Drinks, television commercials, paranoia, and of course plain old dumb luck.
As futile as it seems to keep on, we keep on. Trudging through quagmire and quicksand; strip mining robbed memory banks to piece together snapshots of blacked-out nights and a fuzzy, unfocused pill-popping pariah. You and I, we're on the same page, yes?

Fig Mints (of Your Imagination)'s Friend Space (Top 7)
You're totally welcome, I've been lsitening to tracks from the Passionate misunderstanding every day, not to mention telling all my friends about it.
I really hope you enjoy the album, it's a bit strange even for me and my normal standards. I guess I've been lsitening to alot of La Monte Young reccently and the whole thing came out like one big noise. Either way, any feedback you have would be apprciated, even if it's bad.
It's been a while, but here we go again. Back from the dead thirty-eight-song-stories high and breathing musical fire, it's the seventh DAYDREAM GENERATION compilation. Everything you'd expect from one of our free compilations - tunes you can shake your sticks at, psychedelic sonnets, folk weirdness, electronic circuitry for the earballs, and things that go pop! in the night.
Here are some of the people you might find on there, some you may have heard of before, but even better if you haven't: ROCKETSHIPS OF LOVE, WARCHALKING, AKRYLLIC LOVE, FROGVILLE, JAMES REDMOND, SUCKS TO LALA LAND, WHITE GUYS JUMPING, THE FALLING FLOORS, THE SPACE BETWEEN THINGS, CODY HIGH SCHOOL, BROKEN MONO, BRENDON HERTZ, A NOBLE GHOST, THE PAINTED SHUTS, THE INVISIBLE MOUTH, ALLAN DOUGLAS, CHANSONS DE GESTE, SOCIETY, VOLCANO, FIG MINTS (OF YOUR IMAGINATION), THE REAL BURNOUTS, E. A BARTHOLOMEW, SIMON PILER AND THE ATOM BAND, JOHN LUDINGTON, VENICE GAS HOUSE TROLLEY, THE GROSVENOR SUITE, THE RED PLASTIC BUDDHA, ROLLERCOASTER, THE ORANGE DROP, JOSEPH RIDE, BECKY N, MOUSEY BROWN, THE WHEELIES, THE OUT FAMILY RAVEN, OLD NORTH, THE ARTIFICIAL SEA, UBERFUZZ, and DEAD CANARIES.
Every once in a while a record lands in your life and blows you away. This is one of those records - an intelligent and heartfelt collection of folk-psychedelics, with songs that will linger in your mind like ghosts long after they have played. Dublin's THE LOADED WHISPERS are probably as great as lo-fi musicians get, combining the brilliant poetry of Jeremiah James and the unmistakeable mind-blowing voice of Syd Lane, over fuzzy stripped-back psych guitar and dancing piano keys. "Artists Use Lies To Tell The Truth" is a perfect introduction to what they do, with so many stand-out tracks that all you can do is let the record play out from beginning to end. And that really is the truth.
A 19 track sampler featuring a song from each of the 19 Quixodelic Records we've released in the last year. From rock and roll space psychedelics to twee indie folk/pop.

I don't care how much you spent making it, it looks worth every penny - I mean cent, will be handed down through the generations of Smallys
Funnily enough just when I was opening it, Dylan had robbed his Grandmother of £20 and was saying "Ah, I've waited my whole life for this" as he stuffed it into his Sponge Bob piggy bank
I said "You know son, I think I know how you're feeling"
Now this is exciting. Been a long time since we first heard and were blown away by River Speak English's "Puzzle Piece" on Daydream Generation 2. A year and a half later and we're made up to be hosting one half of the aforementioned collaboration's debut record. "Well Under Thirty" is a collection of Bob Dylan covers by Sucks To LaLa Land's Keith Crain - as well as being a beautiful introduction to this talented singer/songwriter, it's arguably as great a collection of Dylan covers as I've ever heard. Listening to the 8 tracks featured was like discovering Bob Dylan all over again.
