Rock & History A review of the revolution of rock, starting in the middle sixties and its evolution.<br/><br/> It is a style of rock music inspired by or attempting to replicate the mind-altering experiences brought on by drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, salvia divinorum, and especially LSD. There are also other forms of psychedelic music that started from the same roots and diverged from the prevalent rock style into electronic music.<br/><br/>In the history of rock music, psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to latter progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew heavily from non-Western sources such as Indian music.<br/><br/>13th Floor Elevators' frontman Roky Erickson was once asked by a friend to define psychedelic music. Invoking the image on the American one dollar bill, he famously replied, "It's where the pyramid meets the eye, man."<br/><br/>While the first musicians to be influenced by psychedelic drugs were in the jazz and folk scenes, the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music was by the "acid-folk" group The Holy Modal Rounders in 1964. The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to the 13th Floor Elevators, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators.<br/><br/>The psychedelic sound itself had been around at least a year earlier in the live music of the Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd, Donovan's hit Sunshine Superman and the landmark singles "Day Tripper", "Rain" and "Paperback Writer" by The Beatles. http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5,rock_history/ Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss G-Mo <description>Thankis for the update on Peter Garrett.<br/>Diesel and Dust...a classic....Bed's are burnin.....wow.</description> <dc:creator>The Human Project</dc:creator> <link>http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/blogs/2008/01/31/2acyK1xp/midnight_oil_biography#gUCsgnc8wRae_fC</link> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:37:33 -0000</pubDate> <guid>gUCsgnc8wRae_fC</guid> </item> <item> <description /> <link>http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/poll/DeV1OG6Q/who_coined_the_phrase_back_to_mono/</link> <title>Poll - Who coined the phrase "back to mono"? <description>Peter Garrett is now the Federal Minister for Environmental Affairs in the recently elected (by a landslide) Liberal Government. His major political agenda at the moment is the illegal slaughtering of whales by Japanese 'fishermen'. The Japanese Government is able to justify this via a loophole which allows this practise on the grounds that it is carried out purely for "scientific research purposes."</description> <dc:creator>Bob Findlay</dc:creator> <link>http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/blogs/2008/01/31/2acyK1xp/midnight_oil_biography#UG-cyrc6fecoeaV</link> <pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:56:27 -0000</pubDate> <guid>UG-cyrc6fecoeaV</guid> </item> <item> <dc:creator>vbif333</dc:creator> <link>http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/Hvup1MBY/sonics_let_the_good_times_roll/</link> <pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:24:43 -0000</pubDate> <title>Let The Good Times Roll by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/Hvup1MBY/sonics_let_the_good_times_roll/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> F9txHqQB3V vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/s44dj08-/sonics_skinny_minnie/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:24:08 -0000 Skinny Minnie by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/s44dj08-/sonics_skinny_minnie/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> P7orA4Jo-O vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/pMvn2IiJ/sonics_dont_be_afraid_of_the_dark/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:24:03 -0000 Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/pMvn2IiJ/sonics_dont_be_afraid_of_the_dark/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> ujKVpEwNG0 vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/AWXOnECO/sonics_cinderella/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:23:29 -0000 Cinderella by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/AWXOnECO/sonics_cinderella/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> mEd316UUi_ vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/qRrEmtfa/sonics_psycho_live/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:23:28 -0000 Psycho (live) by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/qRrEmtfa/sonics_psycho_live/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> cX3hTn_se3 vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/1lVatdZW/sonics_the_hustler/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:23:27 -0000 The Hustler by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/1lVatdZW/sonics_the_hustler/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> XE06ZDCoO2 vbif333 http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/_DhdInpc/sonics_good_golly_miss_molly/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:23:25 -0000 Good Golly Miss Molly by Sonics <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/groups/wX_B0gl5/music/_DhdInpc/sonics_good_golly_miss_molly/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p1.imeem.com/resources/versioned/1/graphics/icons/noalbumart.gif" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> dnlfBJe-bJ
