What are you listeninig to right now?

In this moment I can hear the sounds of bubbles coming up the sink drain and the quiet rolling of a Q-tip. Not quite like a glacier, but close.

Someone's chest.

In this moment I can hear a glacier. It is in fact a glacier.

I'm tapping my fingers to a wiener. I'm listening to the sound they make. I rather enjoy it, actually.

In this moment I can hear strawberry preserves crawl across the kitchen counter top. It's sort of like a glacier.

One of the earliest fully grown kraut albums, this carries all the classical features. It's simplistic, static and trippy. The musical content is based on the reoccuring "Frère Jacques"-theme (after all, Bokaj Retsiem spelled backwards is Meister Jakob which, according to my limited knowledge of the german language could be this country's version of the classical nursery rhyme. It's an interesting idea, but not enough to build an entire album on.

Reiner Degner, angsty German teen with respectable guitar chops and half-decent taste, recorded this album for a German exploitation label in 1968. Very much a relic of its age (and Degner's), Psychedelic Underground remains a treat. Bokaj lifts riffs from the charts - it all comes perilously close to Name That Tune, at times - but also unleashes some tasty fuzzy/freaky leads and vintage Hammond B3 in his own right. For the record, though, that's "Frere Jacques," not "Three Blind Mice," that Bokaj serves up folk, bossa nova and classical-style as the occasional interlude.

Script for A Jester's Tear........... it's NOTHING like a glacier!

The water running from the bathroom in the background and the kinks on my computer.

My leg. More precisely, the hairs and invisible bugs on it.
