A good place for oldies you never knewsies

For those that haven't run across this blog before, Lost-in-Tyme is a prime spot to find old gems (and unfortunately some really bad older stuff now and then too). However, they're quite the blag to inspire to be blagging like. I've gotten really fucking insane shit from it like Swedish psych that nobody I know has ever heard of (Norrbottens Järn, Älgarnas Trädgård) and Japanese noise bands live records (Fushitsusha). Definitely worth the time to check out what these fellas have to say. Much of the music dates from the 60s and 70s but I've seen releases all the way up to this decade, but never anything that I was familiar with prior to reading about it on the blag. Tons of psych, krautrock, folk, classic rock, and even jazz and the like if you want it. Furthermore, to their amazing credit, they've provided links for you to download most everything they write about. Plus, you don't even have to feel bad for not supporting the artists (though that's never stop me in past) because they're overwhelming likely not releasing music these days and might even be dead for all we know. The only downside is that many links are thru rapidshare, which is lame because that site only allows one download every 2 hours for non-members (anyone wise enough to refuse paying them for what is free at a dozen other sites). Sometimes there'll be a be a link to sendspace as well, which is good, there is only a need to wait for one download to finish before starting the next.

On another note (excellent pun), Working For A Nuclear Free City has a new double album entitled Businessmen & Ghosts and it is a fantastic electronic album for anyone concerned.

There's also the album by The Teeth that's recently come out called You're My Lover Now, which is a rather good rock album with folky influence and some rather rough singing that I enjoyed.

Additionally, the new Sunset Rubdown release Random Spirit Lover was damned awesome. I absolutely loved it. I highly suggest that all who read this get it if they have not.
