New Yorkers, who remembers the radio station 89.1 that used to have a late night show called "The Marshmallow Dimension"? OK well if you don't allow me to recap for you. Groovy, far-out, psychedelic nuggets. Over use of the fuzztone and wah-wah distortion along with subliminal euphoria was obviously created to accompany surreal visuals caused by massive LSD hits and bong rips. I'm sure back in the 60's the two went together better than Sonny and Cher, but today I find music has a much broader psychedelic feel to it. Butthole Surfers for example, if around in the 60's could have definitely broken the mold for the avid acid-tripper's auditory hallucination. Or perhaps Old Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids demos or any form of Mike Patton. I still love Jefferson Airplane and all the efforts of the psychedelic nuggets era, so for all your newbs I recommend you at least take a wild trip back in time and let nuggets fill your headspace.
