I'm def looking forward to it.

Yeah it sounds really interesting. Will report back...maybe even snap a few fotos.

That was definitely a peak period in Lou's solo career!

I'm taking Saturday off to go see the "Art of Noise" exhibit (not about the band) at the Cooper Hewitt Museum here in NYC. I'll probably get there about 3pm. Say hello if you can find me. ;-)

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Definitely those early days were about a lot of experimentation.

I bet there are a lot of small bands that have the same names that we never hear about. And, the bigger ones who had to change their name. The Charlatans (Charlatans UK). Suede (The London Suede), etc.

Yeah, it's pretty cool to get to play all of them. But, you're seeing almost 25 years of guitars we've sold. And, you haven't seen most of the ones I have squirreled away. There's some crazeee guitars waiting in the wings. I'll get to them eventually.

;-)

Yeah, there was lot of tension with those guys over the years. I saw Songs For Drella a BAM. It was excellent. So that moment in 1990 showed promise...

Yeah, that's why he went for the Baldwin deal to get out of debt. And, no doubt about the Fender/Gibson dominance in the US. There were tough competitors.

I always think of The Doors as early Goth. Steve Miller is more Blues based. But, they were all certainly part of what is Psych.

Yeah, they were all doing it too. The Charlatans 1st album is Pysch too but it didn't get released until 1969.

And The Beatles Revolver is 1966. But, they were listening to the SF bands.

Moby Grape is one of my fav bands. I scored all their CD's on the reissues that were eventually pulled.

Wiki has a band from 1980. What year do you think the flyer is?

Fifth Column was a Canadian all-female post-punk band from Toronto, which formed in 1980 and broke up in 1995.

It was a really nice one. We sold it not too long ago. It went to a good home. They can be found with some searching. The red does look sharp!

It's Back In Black! They'd def Rock it loud!

Wow! Very cool. I had no idea he lived there. I saw him live a couple of times long ago with the full Arkestra. Excellent shows!

that's really funny! thx

I've never heard of the Fifth Column. Thanks for the posting...gotta dig into them and hear their sound.

Interesting. I can see the lineage from the Burns Hyman period.

While PF were early, their 1st album is Mod. It came out in August 1967. The actual first PsychRock band was The 13th Floor Elevators whose 1st album came out October 1966. But, in San Francisco in 1965, the Grateful Dead (& others) were making PsychRock. Love's 1st album is March 1966 is PsychRock.

BURNS: FLYTE RHAPSODY - made circa 2004-2005 Burns Flyte - Rhapsody: 2 pickup, solid body, electric guitar, retro 1970's style. This is a virtually brand new Burns model Flyte Rhapsody single-cutaway, solid body, electric guitar. It's in excellent condition and sounds amazing. It has almost no wear here. All the electronics work perfectly and the neck is straight. It has a Floyd Rose Tremolo system, Burns humbucking pickups, a bolt-on neck, coil tap for the bridge pickup, 22 frets, and an alder body. The guitar was made in Korea. It's got a heavy rock sound and is a modern day version of the 1974 Burns Flyte which was inspired by the Concorde Jet. Marc Bolan from T-Rex used a Flyte back in the wild days of Glam Rock. The guitar includes a hard shell Ibanez case that's in excellent shape except one corner has a dent (the guitar was not in it when it happened.) Description from VintageSilvertones.com

Yeah, a great bass, eh! I friend inherited one from her father. I tried to pry it from here hands. But, she wouldn't let it go...I don't blame her at all. It's beauty!

That's too bad. I really wish I could have caught one of those VU reunion shows. I just couldn't get it together to fly to Europe for them. I assumed they'd do an NYC show...but no luck.

That's very true. I bet those were his influences in the design. And, it does feel like a guitar a biker might play.

I know Dark Side of the Moon is their "classic" but I've heard it way too many times. I even dig their first album with Sid and the Mod sound. The entire PF catalogue thru The Wall is all brilliant work. But, clearly there are highlights.

1959 was the first year! It's cool you have one. Too bad about the pickups. But, the replacements sound solid.

Is that what those were...guitar players in the sky! ;-)

Agreed! Burns really knew how to present a unique look.

Both are excellent! The black color scheme is really subtle/understated. It Looks Sharp! Thanks for sharing them!

Graham Nash - Songs for Beginners
Nick Drake - Pink Moon (but all those first official releases are brilliant)
