06.02.10Zombie Girlfriend Hospital Attack Forcehttp://cllct.com/art/zombiegirlfriendhospitalattackforce Were it possible to favourite your favourites on CLLCT, then these twin towers of weird psychedelic sunshine sublimity, would certainly be up there. It takes a lot to get me to write about anything outwith the Quixodelic circle, but some things demand to be written about, and this is one of them, so I'll see what I can do in the short space of time I've got to do it. Self-professed 'bastard child of Brian Wilson and Peewee Herman', Zombie Girlfriend Hospital Attack Force isn't just a mouthful, but a rollercoaster ride of sounds and songs that will illuminate your starry ...

05.27.10James Redmond – 3Out Today! A new album by the one and only James Lee Redmond... Free download at Quixodelic Records here: http://quixodelic.com/site/category/james-redmond/ Listen to 'Weekend Train': [audio:http://www.daydreamgeneration.com/MP3/JamesRedmond-WeekendTrain.mp3] Every generation needs its heroes. Most of mine were doing their thing half a century ago, forging melodies, splashing paint, and building mad roads of word.

04.14.10Impaled Peach – Helicobblerdownload: [download#57#nohits] Listen to Same Mistake and Catch Us: [audio:http://www.daydreamgeneration.com/MP3/SameMistakeandCatchUs.mp3] This record has been floating around on CLLCT for a couple of months now, so you may have already had the pleasure of hearing it. Me, I waited for a bit of breathing space before feeding it into my ears. I wanted to wait for a gap so as I could give it my full attention, really because I felt like it deserved nothing less. Of course I'd already heard the excellent and lyrically complex 'Ilium Bromide' on DG7, and been completely knocked out by the simply beautiful uke song 'Psycholicopter' on DG8 ...

04.05.10Lenn9o9n – Relining CoffinsLenn9o9n - Relining Graves download: [download#56#nohits] Listen to Alli: [audio:http://www.daydreamgeneration.com/MP3/Lenn9o9n-Alli.mp3] From the first time I heard Lenn9o9n cover The Beatles' 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey' I knew I was listening to something quite extraordinary. Everybody knows that the synthesizer maimed popular music in the 1980s, but here was somebody who might actually make you rethink electronic pop music completely. Not from choice, but necessity (think a 26 year old American travelling the globe with a keyboard strapped to his back, currently alighting in Italy), with the exception of impassioned vocals drenched in precision effects, electronic beats and synthetic melodies are ...
