Day 14 - Tune on, Tune in, Drop Out

My Morning Jacket - S/T

The artwork is psychedelic for sure and I'd say that MMJ carries on the spirit of the psychedelic era for sure.

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

A mixture of the personal with social justice at a very heady level. I feel a lot could be written about this album.

I feel a lot could be written about this album.

And should be!

This would be a great candidate for a 33 1/3 book at the very least!

When I was a kid, we had a console stereo with a turntable that had a 16/33/45/78 speed selector. The first record I ever bought was Black Sabbath Paranoid and of course I messed around playing it at different speeds.

I didn't realize it then, but I was actually time traveling into the future and hearing Melvins.

Merlin - The Mortal

Merlin are a fun Doom/Prog Metal band from Kansas City (a city with a nice Metal scene going; check out The Company record label if you are so inclined) and yeah most of their songs are about dope Wizard and Warrior type shit but what really sets them apart from the pack is their incorporation of woodwinds into the mix. The lead vocalist also blows sick saxophone. I never thought I would enjoy my Metal with a side of Free Jazz but here we are.

Heavy metal, this is all I have really, punk, hardcore, rock, ska, plenty of that but not metal, or what I would call metal, will this do?
