   About Used Alien Mind
Fueled by a distaste for all that is mainstream, Mike Leporte formed his own one-man band as an outlet for a dizzying array of cosmic noise that sounds nothing like anything that anyone has ever done before. The name of this intriguing new project is Used Alien Mind, and that unique moniker is accompanied by plenty of unique noise. “Positive Mental Theme is so irresistibly peculiar and, yeah, fun. Your normal friends will hate it!” -Jim Santo’s Demo Universe “Brooding lo-fi noise and fractured left field indie pop…he sings like a broken amplifier.” -Splendid “UAM’s Mike Leporte takes the listener into dark corners, sunlit playrooms, and interstellar journeys…this music is for head-tripping.” -Culture Bunker “I love albums that take me by surprise.” -Space City Rock Used Alien Mind’s second album, “The Placement Aside” offers a cosmic kaleidoscope of experimental noise-pastiche-blues-art-rock leanings; a slight departure from his punk-rock infused solo debut, “Positive Mental Theme”. Used Alien Mind’s new album is stylistically eclectic as a result of collaborating with long-time friends Jon Wohl, Robert Wohl, Pete Weiss and newcomer Katie Beckman on many of the songs. The album’s distinctive sound is also due in part to working in different studios, and using a mixture of lo-fi and high-end recording equipment. The end result creates a brooding, hazy array of sound collages and musical landscapes. Kick back, throw on the head phones, light up and dig the space grooves. Zonked Records

I'm in the process of working on the 2ND Issue and am pleased to announce the details as far as the contents of it. I've received many artwork submissions and have become a bit more savvy on layout and what not, so this second issue will be a bit more jam packed with juicy info for you all to devour.

2ND ISSUE OF PSYCH TRAIL MIX WILL INCLUDE:

*Exclusive Interview with Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers/Carny
*60's Psych and Beyond CD Reviews
*Show Review: Gibby Haynes With Paul Green School Of Rock All Stars
*DVD & Book Reviews
*Rant: Emos and Scenesters
*Weird PA: Observations of Strange Surroundings
*And Much More!!!

This second issue is coming along very nicely, please stay tuned for updates as far as when it's ready and how to get one. Again, it will be released completely free of charge, but donations to help me with my shipping costs are GREATLY appreciated.
