MAY DAY! MAY DAY! It's time for Austin Psych Fest yet again!

AKA Levitation this year, next week will be the eighth annual Psych Fest, and the third I've attended in a row! It's the mellowest, coolest, most transcendent festival in the world - the exact opposite of Lollapa-loser or Bro-a-smella - and of course all the bands can be  at least loosely defined as psychedelia (akin to my loose definition of space rock). And this year's lineup in INCREDIBLE! Some seriously big names and heavy hitters which you can check out on the website.

For those of you not lucky enough to have attended Psych Fest, check out some of LAST YEAR's performances:



So, in honor of my annual pilgrimage (and let's face it, the only real reason to go to Texas... well besides breakfast tacos and BBQ) I offer a mix I made featuring many (but not nearly all) of the bands playing this year.
