fwiw all of my posts on psychedelia here are dry humor (maybe lame humor) but in general i agree, which is why i’m not posting seriously!
i do think “genre x does not appeal to me and here are my boring ass reasons why” is at least as lame and probably worse. at least if you’re gatekeeping it means you care about something. usually when ppl complain about entire genres being bad it just means they haven’t engaged with it (or in the right mindset, which is the kernel of truth behind my lame jokes)
also for whatever reason that “smoke rings” track reminds me a lot of beach boys’ “wind chimes”, which i consider to be their peak psychedelic moment, possibly because it reminds me of “at the watering hole” by louis and bebe barron, for the forbidden planet soundtrack (one of the all time great psychedelic films)

Not at all directed at PBKR but a lot of “gatekeepers” are just fans who don’t like noobs barging in “teaching” them things they already know and calling Oasis “Shoegaze” or whatever.

Surprised (or not I guess) that I'm not seeing Deconstructed Club, or any rap/hip hop like Cloud Rap, Mumble Rap, Backpack/Conscious Hip Hop, etc on the list

hahaha that's pretty funny because hendrix put down both "how high the moon" as being old hat and "heroes and villains" as being "psychedelic barbershop".
personally i think both are fucking great! but hendrix is good too. he was into roland kirk, who may or may not be psychedelic but who is fucking good!

the mary ford song reminds me of kay weaver's song-poem "junkies and monkeys" which is a fucking great song about getting high
a lot of those song-poems you know they're just phoning it in but the impression i get is that everybody involved in the recording of that song really did enjoy getting high

Song sounds hyppereal in the kind of way where you'd have to invent some kind of wacky new space-age technology like multitrack recording to achieve

I think this is the vinyl record collector/Discogs hipster poll, someone should do a digital era version. Should City Pop have been on this one though?

see, he just wasn't engaging with it in the right mindset. the operative word there is "high"

always a little sad someone to see someone who's really talented but never really made it because they were also really fucked up, mind you. i relate to that kind of thing probably more than i should.
