The Flaming Dragons Of Middle Earth are led by Danny Cruz. He has down syndrome and loves Sun Ra and Black Sabbath. He leads a revolving cast of non-musicains in a weekly Freek-Out that takes place at The Brick House Community Center, 24 3rd street, Turner Falls, Massachusetts, on Thursday nights from 4 to 6 PM. He makes the the most outside, outsider music in America right now.

New Demons: King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
Willoughby's Beach Ep


They want danger money and I want danger money. They make me get up in the morning, morning, morning. Millions are grasping at the branches of the tree of life, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard stab right at the root. You say god is on your side? I stumbled across this band because I’m always on the hunt for musical endeavors that involve wizards and witches, and yes, lizards. Some kind of Australian, Trans Love Energies / Fun House living situation paved the way to this amazingly catchy cluster fuck. They claim to be into pavement, and they didn’t let it crooked rain on everyone’s party. Amazing feat boys. Run don’t walk to bandcamp, and get yourself a copy the Willoughby’s Beach Ep. Only Three hundred something copies.

Robbie Basho - The Falconers Arm I & II (1967)

Friday night In Los Angeles the cars hiss by my window, drinking Guinness and listening to Robbie Basho. There is something incredibly western about Basho’s take on eastern music. Robbie Basho is to raga what Elvis Presley is to rhythm and blues. It’s an outsider’s stab at the inside of the exotic, transcending it in the process. Creating a new form of music?

There is something rock ‘n roll about Robbie Bashio along with Sandy Bull, Davy Grahm, and John Fahey's eastern take on the west. The same way Presley proved that sexuality was universal, Basho and heavy friends prove that the western man can levitate, just same as the swami.

Honky Blues Guitar Raga Forever.

You can get a Falconers Arm at FM SHADES and read about Robbie Basho on the computer encyclopedia.
