Psychedelia Internationalia

 Ciao, dig it, 
The psychedelic scene was so vast and now we are getting these international re-issues from the era of swirling sounds, fuzz, colors in music, and the like. Here are a few of those bands, not cutting their guitar teeth in the US of wah-wah. They are worth checking out even if some music is sung in their native language and you can't understand the words; hey what did you expect! 
Besides fuzz is universal~

November/ En ny tid ar har and 2:a (killer heavier psych) Sweden
Gleemen/ ST (italy) Pre-Garybaldi (but you knew that already) They make Hendrix proud.
Modulo 1000 (brazil) Crazy psych from the very early 70's
Group 1850/ Paradise now (netherlands) very cool progish sound

Psychedelio Cinema

Achtung, Baby! The cinema is alive with psych music and forms, sounds and pictures. The film is beyond your mind. Did i stutter? or is the peyote finally wearing off. Take a trip...
Vampyros Lesbos
More
Obscured by Clouds
Zabriskie Point
Fistful of Dollars
Vanishing Eye
Easy Rider

Check out the music in these films. You decide which is heavier; the sights or the sounds.

What's inside is now outside

Whenever possible view things from new perspectives or listen to music you have not heard in awhile. Wrap your ears around these sounds...

MC5- High Time
Blue Cheer-outsideinside
Jimi Hendrix Experience- Are you...?
The Doors-Morrison Hotel

Why not? and read more poetry, it fills the void.

To come of age...

Here it is. First come first served. As a green blogger this may seem trite, but the future is bright. So, stay tuned...
and get your hands on some of these seventies rockers and blow your speakers or your mind, whichever comes first:
Thin Lizzy
Deep Purple
Edgar Broughton Band
Frijid Pink
Electric Food

In Psych,
