Month: August 2006

Albums

Evan Hillhouse – Evan Hillhouse

August 31, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

For any decent pop geek, seeing a booklet chockfull of paraphernalia such as a Harrison-like Gretsch, a Ringo-id set of Ludwig drums, a Rickenbacker bass, A Hammond organ, a Vox amplifier, or a Sgt.Pepper-styled rug […]

Tim Rice & Friends – That’s My Story

August 29, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Basically an overview of long-time Andrew Lloyd Webber-collaborator’s producing/songwriting career, predating their joint Jesus Christ Superstar-initiated fame and fortune, “the story” of Tim Rice covers a pretty wide variety of (sub)genres, complete with pretty detailed, […]

Albums

The Free Spirits – Out Of Sight And Sound

August 28, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Kinda like the mid’60s folkies, even though generally more ignorant of it, some of the jazz beatniks seem to have gotten into the trappings of the rock’n’roll “outrage” as well. Among the first ones to […]

Albums

The Twilights – Once Upon A Twilight

August 27, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Being hailed as one of THE genre defining albums of its era, usually goes with it being (mostly) ignored at the time of its release, and The Twilights’ 1968 popsike masterpiece from down-under is no […]

Whistler, Chaucer, Detroit & Greenhill – The Unwritten Works Of Geoffrey, etc.

August 20, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Predicted to be “the next big thing” in it’s original liner notes, this studio-only project, with imaginary names’n’all, got “only” as far as becoming one of “The greatest albums of all time”, according to The […]

The Common People – Of The People/By The People/For The People From …

August 19, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Produced by The Seeds/Lollipop Shoppe manager Tim Hudson, and recorded by a bunch of “thought to have been bikers” weirdoes, the only album (1969, Capitol) by The Common People is anything but common, being another […]

Albums

Thorinshield – Thorinshield

August 18, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Though it might not seem as something of much significance to inspire a band’s entire album, coincidence or not, Bobby Ray’s (one of Thorinshield’s two main songwriters) involvement in Donovan’s 1966 L.A. sessions (on bass), […]

Albums

The Human Beinz – Evolutions

August 17, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Under the auspices of Capitol producer (and in this case main songwriter) Lex De Azevedo, The Human Beinz found themselves in front of a hard task to follow, which was their commercially acclaimed, blue eyed […]

August 16, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

After being regarded as “one of the best loved psychedelic albums of all time”, it was about time for a proper re-issue of this one to see the light of day too. As with my […]

De é bra LARM

  • Larm – Nummer 1

    July 21, 2018 1
    Året måste ha varit 1975. Svensk rockjournalistik har ännu inget riktigt fokus. Istället dominerar lika färgglada som fördummande idolmagasin. Och dagstidningarnas rock-recensenter är marginaliserade. Rena rama öknen med andra ord. Ett initiativrikt gäng under musikskribenten [...]
