The Very Best of 2017 is finally here!

I have been remiss! No posts since last July? Well, as Steve Kilbey and Co. put it, life speeds up...



Before you know it six months have slipped by. I've gone from monthly installments, to quarterly, to almost never. Sorry, spacerockers and loyal fans (all two of you). I continue to make playlists, but actually getting them on line takes extraordinary patience due to everything from internet glitches to lack of personal time. Adulting is HARD.

Anyway... This is a FOUR-FUCKING-HOUR collection of the best psychedelic/spacerock/experiMENTAL (and even some electronica) sounds of 2017. While it was a SHITE year for most of us, politically, socially, physically, mentally... it remains a fantastic year for music.

My Top Ten, in case you wondered (but everything in the playlist is GREAT):

LCD Soundsystem "American Dream"
The Dream Syndicate "How Did I Find Myself Here"
King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard "Polygondwanaland"
Thurston Moore "Rock & Roll Consciousness"
Moon Duo "Occult Architecture" Volumes I-11
Ty Segall "Break A Guitar"
Broken Social Scene "Hug Of Thunder"
Godspeed You! Black Emperor "Luciferian Towers"
Do Make Say Think "Stubborn Persistent Illusions"
Ride "Weather Diaries"

And there's a very good chance that this may be the last entry on the Spacerock Continuum forever. Ain't nobody got time for this shit. So, dig this! Happy New Year!
