introduction to the endless sixties

THIS IS A CON­CEPT SITE—and anyone who was into rock in the ’60s or is a record col­lector now knows some­thing about ‘con­cept albums’—whose pur­pose is to present ar­ti­cles, es­says, and pic­to­rials about “the Six­ties,” ac­cen­tu­ating the pos­i­tive about the people, music, books, movies, art, and events that oc­curred then and which live on in fact or spirit decades later.

it’s never too late to feed your head test

THERE ARE HIT RECORDS that were “im­por­tant” simply be­cause they were hit records. The pop charts have been filled with such records: en­joy­able fare but es­sen­tially con­fec­tion. This is not con­de­scending, as a pop record is al­most by de­f­i­n­i­tion a few min­utes of en­ter­tain­ment to dis­tract us from the less en­joy­able as­pects of our lives.

can I get a degree at psychedelic u?

THIS IS NOT A “REAL” AR­TICLE and I am not of­fering ad­vice from my decades of ex­pe­ri­ence with psy­che­delics. This ar­ticle is about Psy­che­delic U, which pur­ports to offer “a starting point for those new to psy­che­delics and for ex­pe­ri­enced psy­cho­nauts alike.” Psy­che­delic U is a project of the Lucid News website.  [Read more] “can I get a degree at psychedelic u?”

wally wood’s “heroes inc” and the fluctuating value of collectibles

IT WAS A COMIC BOOK CON­VEN­TION, fifty years ago. It was a hotel in New York—probably Phil Seul­ing’s Comic Art Convention—but it could have been in Bal­ti­more. There I paid top dollar for a copy of the first issue of Wally Wood’s ‘He­roes Inc’ and then ex­pe­ri­enced first­hand the fluc­tu­ating value of collectibles.

look at brian blomerth’s “bicycle day”

BOOKS ABOUT PSY­CHE­DELICS, es­pe­cially LSD, al­ways turn me on—even the bad ones (of which there are a few). Re­cently, I bor­rowed sev­eral books of re­cent vin­tage from the li­brary. Most of them were normal books with lots of words but few il­lus­tra­tions. Then there was Brian Blom­erth’s Bi­cycle Day, a de­light­fully col­orful pic­ture book!
