Well, I asked on the forum which people would rather have, an all-Black Sabbath podcast or all-heavy psych, and heavy psych won won over 90 percent of the votes, so here we are. Heavy psych it is. Maybe I’ll do the other next month, or maybe, given the disparity, drop it and think of something else. In any case, we’ve got a month to go before then and a monster of a podcast to deal with in the interim.

I let the fadeouts go a little longer, got some really killer tracks in there you might not expect or maybe haven’t had the chance to check out yet, and managed to keep a good balance of the different kinds of heavy psych out there. From Colour Haze to Neurosis, it’s a pretty nebulous term, and I hope this podcast gives some sense of the range of styles and sounds to which it can apply. There’s some all-out jamming from Serpentina Satelite, some more grounded excursions from Asteroid and Datura, and a couple tracks that are just there because they’re weird or help set an atmosphere, which you’ll get with Dark Castle and Traveling Circle or the recently On the Radar-ized Larman Clamor.

That Dark Castle cut is new, by the way. Though it would have been easy for me to go back into the annals of psychedelic lore and pull out a handful of tracks from the ’70s, I thought I’d keep the focus on recent stuff, and so along with the already mentioned Floridians, there’s new music here from Baby Woodrose, Mr. Peter Hayden, Arenna, Elvis Deluxe, Tia Carrera and The Flying Eyes, who start us off with a track from their excellent new album, Done So Wrong.

If I do say so myself (and it seems I do), it’s a fucking excellent mix. All told, it’s four hours and 27 minutes long, and true to the psychedelic ideal, it’s a journey and a considerable one at that. There’s some stuff I had to leave off for time and/or other concerns — I think I’ve already overdone it on Mammatus in the past, for example, so they’re out — but hopefully this is one you can put on while you’re outside somewhere this summer and just go with it. That’s my plan, anyway.

So, as it borders on midnight on a Monday night, June 6, when I still have to go downstairs and take out the garbage, I hope you enjoy this labor of love and maybe find something you’ve never heard before alongside some stuff you know well. Aw heck, I’m ramblin’. Just download the damn thing.
