Futurebirds "Baba Yaga" - 2013 LP

After an 8 hour stretch of highway I needed a break.  Walking into the Dew Drop Inn of Mobile, Alabama felt like shakin' hands with an old friend.  The yocals didn't flinch when a road worn yippy bellied up to the bar.  I needed cold beer and stat.  I met regulars.  Listened to their stories.  Kids in college.  Kids not speaking to them.  Love lost and fortunes missed.  Brick layers hiding from their boss.  What turned into a pit stop, turned into an all afternoon dodgin' the heat and crushin' Kewr's Light.  For anyone who has ever hopped in a car and headed West.  Or drove through the South.  Or passed through big country up in Montana. Stopped in diners and dive bars.  Bought key chains with their girlfriend's name on it.  Chased great America through the dead of night.   Futurebirds "Baba Yaga" isn't just an album.  It's a road companion as essential as lottery scratchers, sunglasses, Creedence, and tobacco.

Last Remaining Pinnacle "Visitors" - 2012 LP

I had to personally deliver one of my paintings to Santa Cruz......Sometimes, with insurance, it is the most practical thing to do....I took my albums for the day with me in the truck.....At some point on the over 300 mile drive from LA.... I couldn't handle anymore hooks.....I couldn't handle any pop or any rhymes or anything in the realm of cheese.....I needed to drone the eff out....Last Remaining Pinnacle brought the drone.....As a matter of fact they brought a lot more than that.....With elements and influences that span from Acid Mother Temple psych to Jesus Mary Chain fuzz.....Last Remaining Pinnacle makes solid droned-out/fuzz/retro stoner rock.......So as the night bounces off the highway floor I couldn't help but think.......these guys are rad:
