Welcome to the return of the ROCK. Not that this space hasn't always rocked, but September seemed appropriate for back-to-school (distance learning version). That is the question: what is space rock (aside from the photo above)? I've answered this thousands of times with my playlists but they often veer off into uncharted territory of extremes and experiMENTALs. Which is still space rock. This set spans the gamut too, but in what I think is a more concise explanation, while still swinging wildly across the psychedelic sky. Catch the comet if you can!
It passes over Italy (Julie's Haircut), Germany (Desert Mountain Tribe), Canada (Possum, Quest For Fire), Australia (Mote, Dunes, Hotel Wrecking City Traders), San Diego, CA (Aunt Cynthia's Cabin), Portland, OR (Ripley Johnson's Rose City Band and my buddy's band Lost Echoes), France (Dead Horse One, Slift), San Francisco, CA (Carlton Melton), Sweden (Causa Sui), Norway (Kanaan), London, UK (Kandodo, which is Simon Price of The Heads with US conspirator John MacBain of Monster Magnet who composed together over Thee Vast Oceans of Interwebs), and... Rochester, NY (King Buffalo)?
Heh heh...

But wait! There's MORE! I have included my mix of the artists who would have performed live at this year's Desert Star Festival in lovely Joshua Tree, CA! I will still be spending a week around the dates of the Festival enjoying and exploring my favorite place on EARTH, the mystical and cosmic Mojave Desert. And while, sadly, there will be no in-person concert, there will be virtual festival that you and I can tune in to HERE: Desert Stars YouTube
In the meantime, please enjoy this BONUS MIX!
