Tell Tom Petty to Wait In the Bus: Psychedelic Horseshit Live in the WFMU Studios

Columbus, Ohio in the house for my radio show, providing a day of fine dining, high entertainment and more than a little Robert Zimmerman channeling (they soundchecked live with "Like A Rolling Stone"). I'm not quite sure who was the Donovan here to guitarist Matt's Dylan (guesting bassist Kevin Failure of Pink Reason was way too tall), but Station Manager Ken provided D.A. Pennebaker action. Their new disc Magic Flowers Droned on Siltbreeze is one of the listens of the year for those who like their indelible hooks smothered in Swell Maps-ian basement confusion. Besides the vid clip below, you may download the whole glorious 34 minute session on MP3 here (with the cusses previously edited out for radio now intact we might add), Psychedelic Horseshit's My Space here. Big thanks to Gil Shuster for awesome sound engineering!

Tom Petty would well hidden in that bus!
What a brilliant romp. "Quasar," "Crystals," and the last song are my faves from the set. "... indelible pop masterpieces buried amidst assorted DIY sonic trainwrecks" summarizes the sound nicely. Those are some amazingly well rehearsed trainwrecks, though. I hate to imagine a day job -- like one in which they might actually sell Tom Petty -- distracting these artists from their distorted yet delicate material. They make me curious to become acquainted with the Swell Maps and Times New Viking. It's a spotlight well worth my time, as usual. Thanks, Brian!

beautiful... I forget where I first heard them, but damn, do they sound splendid here.

The dude rockin out in the lil video and occasionally playing drums is Mr Ryan Jewell, amazing avant solo percussionist and all-around sweetheart of a guy.
