The Psychedelica compilations are worth checking out for 00's psych bands with the jonestown type sound. In the 00's theres been alot of bands I've really liked who have this sound, unfortunately loads of them seem to struggle to transfer their live sound onto record very well. The Asteroid #4 have some great tunes but their albums never do it for me, superb live act.
Still never got into any Spaceman 3 records fully, usually like certain tunes. Need to spend more time listening to them tbh.

Carlepatrique, we could be soulmates if only you didn't despise Allo Darlin'.


The Pains of Being Pure at Heart belong to my thread.

I think their first album belongs here more though like The Vaselines debut they have enough of both. Their second album I didn't like very much as it belongs to your thread

Allo Darlin'

I like the first album better, to be honest.

Allo Darlin played in liverpool last week.
I stayed in

I hate you, Monsieur David.

Always loved Sunsplit and The Asteroid #4. There's a lot of bands in that BJM slipstream that are decent. Then again, some are so clichéd they border on Spinal Tap. (Singapore Sling, The Lovetones). Spacemen 3 are fantastic tbh.

Personal favourites:

Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside
Verve - Voyager 1
Honolulu Mountain Daffodils - Tequila Dementia
Loop - Heaven's End

NOT AS MUCH AS WE ALL HATE ALLO DARLIN.

LOL

really surprised no one has mentioned the wild nothing,

I've only heard their Gemini album but it was boring.

Their latest is good I think you would like it.

Been listening to a band today called Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor, and, I fucking love them.

They sound a bit like The Warlocks covering The Doors to me. Which is both good and bad considering The Warlocks are fantastic and The Doors are the second worst band ever (after The Beach Boys of course).

I've never got into The Doors that much, Johnno. Loving these, though. The vocalist has a touch of the Kurt Cobain's about him.
