Hey, man: thanks so much! Been inspired but it's been a crazy week of delaing with contractors, running errands, etc. or I would've answered earlier.

You're a Blues-X man? Excellent!

I've had e-mails from several people saying how, they too, dig the Blues Explosion and especially ORANGE. I never would've guessed otherwise!

Seth brings us another classicly overlooked album. I was literally looking at this one today, but put it back in favour of Traffic - Mr Fantasy and 3 Dexys albums.

Another double shot of Seth landed yesterday. Again, things I've heard of but never heard. The well of inspiration is deep, and sometimes difficult to navigate without a trusted guide. I'm not sure about the rest of you but it's getting harder to sift through all the hype of sub-par-album-promo-bombast from the real deal.

Too many "Rare" "Lost Psych" "Underground Classic" tags that might as well have "part of this complete breakfast" added to justify the sugar rush and empty calories. Also the FOMO of limited edition reissue LPs that get bought and sold without even talking about the music, only their rarity, leaves me soft and cold. Give me a cut-out VG original or a YT stream with minimal monetizing ads to interrupt the groove over my monthly budget gone in one shot.

Thanks again Seth, looking forward to more gems in the future.

Another great review Seth. I've heard a smattering of Li's output since you hyped the VagusNerve cd. I snagged the last cd of this one on bandcamp (sorry not sorry), but digital as always available in perpetuity.

I love that though we can always champion the guitar frontiersmen of the past, we can also appreciate those who are still exploring. Classic riffs are fine and everything, but anything psychedelic in nature can keep changing not only our minds, but the musical landscape, well after any cheap drugs wear out their welcome.

I also saw he has a new lp coming out in March, his 2nd only vinyl offering.
