David Peel & the Lower East Side

Dragging out the weirdness for yer Easter weekend, sort of an "anti-classic" if you will.....another of
my Dad's faves, this is actually (imo) close to unlistenable, but as a child I got a heavy dose of this album, and it meant a lot to my Dad and his hippie pals.

The only album I have from this lad is "Have a Marijuana", and , really, I'm pretty sure it's all I need.....acoustic "rock" with lyrics that I'm sure shocked the hell out of the world at the time, advocating the usage of marijuana, the evils of the "man" and the police, honest to God it's probably the ultimate unlistenable "period piece" (1968), and IF you happen to have a sense of humor (so many don't), this can really be a fucking hoot to listen to, just don't expect some unknown "classic", cuz this ain't it.......

So why am I posting it? Well, you rarely see it online.....as I said, it was a fave of my Dad's, which means something to ME, and as I said, it is hilarious to listen to, SHOULD YOU happen to be one of those few people who actually owns a sense of humor......

Well anyway, I've got some great metal/prog stuff for later tonight if I get to it or tomorrow, but for now, light up a doob and relive 1968, just don't expect any kind of uncovered classic here.....similar to my post of Starz or the Shaggs, it's all a part of HISTORY, be it good or bad.......if you've never heard this, you owe it to yourself.....hell, give it a listen and then delete it, just so you can say you did!

  5. My dad was a cool guy, he died WAY too young (47), but musically he was always open to anything, and I do try to keep a similar spirit myself, as I enter my mid-50s
