Spacemen 3 - Singles (1987-8)


If your heart is not pumping after the first song, you may be confused about Spacemen 3, free lads known to Taking Drugs To Make Music To Take Drugs To. Channeling waves of punk, blues and spaced out guitar chants, they experiment in noise and drone and light. While Rollercoaster is cool it clocks in at 14 minutes far too soon. Hold on, keep going. Touch your mouse here for enough radiation to explore the outer reaches of sound and space.

Abner Jay - Swaunee Water & Cocaine Blues (197x)/The Backbone of America is a Mule and Cotton (1976)


"I play banjo in an old cotton-picking style - real smooth, real quiet. There's not a lot of fancy licks."

Swaunee Water & Cocaine Blues




The Backbone of America is a Mule and Cotton


When Abner was born his dad kept the birth records on the side of the house. When the house burned down, the birth records were destroyed, and Abner was never able to find out just how old he was. Jay claims the secret for his good health was "layin' on his belly drinkin' water from that ol Swaunee River". More info here. More AJ here.

"The spectacle has been described as a guitar dance party, full of sweaty smiles, jumps and kicks." A good quote in there from Tom Waits too.
