Sunflare - ON double LP - I had totally forgotten about this band, they had an LP out back in 2012 on Bat Shit that was well-regarded on here.  This is their first release since then, and it's pretty brutal.  High Rise being the obvious reference point.  The first LP has one studio side, one live side, while the second is a repress of their first cassette-only release from 2010.  A split release between Feeding Tube and Cardinal Fuzz outta the UK.  Feeding Tube has some really great stuff the past couple months alone.  Crazy release schedule.

I had completely forgotten about them, too. Thanks for the heads up.

Both the solo Don Howland are nearly-perfect records for me.

Sun Ra - Discipline 27-ii

This is the best Sun Ra I've heard. Where do I go next?

I like this one. You might want to try Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy or Interstellar Low Ways. Or Languidity. Or that 80s live on Leo. It never ends.

These are all great. That whole New York period where they were fucking around with the echoplex, as exemplified by 'Cosmic Tones...' is pretty mesmerizing. 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Strange Celestial Road' are awesome, and kinda in the same wheelhouse as 'Lanquidity' -- beautiful, psychedelic, cosmic funk that's strange but not inaccessible. 'The Night of the Purple Moon' is pretty unique too.

Thanks for the tip on Strange Celestial Road. I was always hesitant to pick it up, maybe because I kept seeing it around. I generally prefer Ra in this mood as opposed to the blowouts.

Kinks - Something Else. For Harry Rag, tears of a clown alone. Rest is great too. AN oft neglaected album by me in the Kinks canon. TO my own detriment.

Something Else is my favorite of theirs. Had it for close to 30 years now, Two Sisters probably my favorite track.

A shame to see he had such a hard time. Their records were all over the place when I was growing up and they played a big part in getting me out of whatever crap I was listening to then. Fuck Me Stupid still gets playing time here.

Plus, it's the record that invented the black metal font.

Yes, I believe all his films are worth watching. They Live... is also great of course. On Dangerous Ground is another noteworthy one, especially the opening half. Robert Ryan has a great scene interrogating somebody and freaking out that I never tire watching.

"Rebel' will always be remembered as the film that inspired The Room. Johnny Guitar and In A Lonely Place are my favorite by Nicholas Ray .
