Someone posted this at another board I frequent and I thought you might interested in how NOT to do it.

And I thought you might like to join me in petioning the creators of this site, with the intention of having the most talented member of the beatles work removed from here, yes Im talking about Yoko Ono, its a disgrace that she appears on this site, although they are spot on with the rest of it.

OK, I'm waiting for the inevitable argument that starts when someone mentions Yoko Ono!

Isn't controversy wonderful?

They've got a Bach Two Part Invention by Wendy Carlos there too. I wonder if they have the permission of the artists to post these songs. Where's the RIAA when you need them?

I don't agree with most of this list. Jesus Christ, it has been 35 years and Yoko is still getting the shit beat our of her. For better or worse, Yoko was involved with the NY underground ( Fluxus with LaMonte Young, Nam June Paik, Henry Flynt, John Cage, Charlotte Mooreman,etc) years before she met John Lennon. Her extended vocal techniques and use of noise were years ahead. Don't Worry Keiko is a brilliant piece of post rock music (with the help of Lennon and Clapton) The Shaggs....these are great pieces of Outsider Music. I would much rather listen to My Pal Foot Foot and Philisophy of the World than listen to anything by Yes, ELP, Journey, Return to Forever, or anything that passes for elelctronic music these days. The song form is there, the rhythm relates more to Sunny Murray than Ginger Baker, and the vocal harmonies are beautiful. How can anyone not like MacArthur Park as sung/spoke by Richard Harris. A great song written by Jimmy Webb with some very hip 1960 instrumental arrangements....."Someone left the cake out in the rain...but I don't think that I can take it...cause it took so long to bake it...and I'll never have that recipe again Oh NOOOOOOO!!!!" This is a classic, a perfect period piece. William Shatner singing Mr. Tambourine Man, Lucy in the Sky........beyond criticism! Another piece of period music magic. I mean this stuff is the legend of surrealism and dadaism. It is soooooooo wrong that it actually becomes a brilliant work of art. I mean Jack Webb reciting Otis Readings "Try a Little Tenderness" is such a brilliant concept that I cannot even comment on it! When I saw the picture of the sites authors, I knew what to expect...complete non-understanding of pieces of time....the brilliance of the moment...a pre defined definition of what is right and wrong in art. All I can say it is their loss and my great aesthetic gain.

Joseph, that last post brought back a bunch of memories.

Hey, did you ever get to Amy X Neuburg's gig at the Lotus?

This place needs a doppelganger site called electro-shrooms.com, where we talk about mushrooms and all things mushroom, where the occassional reference to electronic music pops up. Then we would be complete.

I have read that book and others by him. There is a book by John Allegro by the title of

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross:
A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity
within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East

Dr Hoffman celebrated his 98th birthday on the 11th jan, heres to another 98 (the span of a milenium experience in a mili-second and all that).

On the same track is Philip K. Dick in his book "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer". Awesome book on many levels and he makes kinda the same connection Allegro did, but of course treated in his usual "Dickish" way . Recommended.

And yes.. perhaps we should have a shrooms.electro-music.com site just for the cultiviation of cultish psychoactive pursuits.

A site like that might attract a new audience for electro-shroom music.
