Only 500 copies were pressed, and the album was out of print until a compilation was released on CD in 2000 by Monster Records. The Living Dead Years includes the entire 1970 album, non-LP cuts and material from the post-Negative Space outfit Snow. Their sound had been described as "dark heavy fuzzed basement psych" and has drawn comparisons to bands such as Steppenwolf.

heya!

Eso!

Hiya, DJ Esoterica!

hi mr. m! this is weird. i am at the jersey shore... i taped this show.

Good to hear Lalo S each week. That means Sonic Bloom time, lunch time soon and weekend time soon....

hey bri!

YAAAASSSSS

Say HI to Snooki for me!

and there you are on the site, too!

haha will do

Thanks for opening the chat for us!

mr. m, i once sat next to snooki and jwoww at the London hotel in west Hollywood. worlds colliding

We went down to Ocean Grove for the day on Sat. Nice. Little rain but sun came out again. Great shady spot under the pier

You’re gonna luv this show! The DJ is TopNotch!

lovely, bri

haha mr. m, thx

But drive home when the storm hit... whew that was intense... kind of exciting tho

i watched from the porch here, that was crazy saturday

the lightning

Great dinner in Ocean Grove at Seagrass restaurant.

That is hilarious, DJ Esoterica! In West Hollywood!! Haha!

they were padding down to brunch at the weho hotel, snooki and jwoww

oh i will have to check out seagrass, bri

Kids NEED the ARTS

yes, agreed, mr. m!

Interview and Live Performance??!!

yes!

Awesome!

He sounds very clear as the guest!?!

yea wow he must have a good mic setup!

hey! yeah, he was incredible

full studio at home

Were you on a video call??

yes, zoom

Hello, DJ Dante!

but obviously did some editing. adam was helpful in that regard, too.

Very good!

hey mr. mal!! Yea it sounds really great :) Does he have any tips and tricks?

i can certainly consult with him...

Haha!

yeah oops

don't know what just happened but stay with me. obvs that didn't feature adam's excellent editing. tat was all me

Hi everybody. I'm listening, but working all afternoon. I won't be as loquacious as usual

hey stevie p!

I was giggling at the idea of asking for tips! It’s really a great idea. Some of the clarity must be about his wifi or something too, right??

i guess... he has a a pretty rad studio, i know that

HeyOoo, Stevie P! Imma miss the foolish things you type! 🤡

I'll be thinking foolish things, mr. m.

with you in mind.

Awww, shucks!

Honestly, when I read the reference to "snooki", I first thought y'all were talking about Snooky and Tish, the Bellomo sisters who founded Manic Panic. I saw them perform as the Sic F*cks at Bowery Electric several years ago on Johnny Thunders' birthday.

wow, that's cool, david. sadly a diff snooki

So funny!

I had dinner with L, Scott Caldwell. That will impress David Shortell, right?!?

And by “had dinner with” I mean we sat across the restaurant from one another.

haha

I had breakfast with Richard Dreyfuss at Days Deli in philly. And by "breakfast with" I mean he was at the next table.

fantastic editing on this one esoterica :)

def better than the editing of my interview tonight hahaha

There ya go! I like Richard Dreyfuss. What did he eat???

thx! well, dante, honestly, you aided me in focusing! so thanks!

Mr m, Dick, I call him Dick, at breakfast food. Had a cuppa too, IIRC

Sick Dick, as he insists I call him, likes pancakes??

A short stack, to put a finer point on it

Cuz he’s short! Ha!

Stay foolish!

I keep trying to work... but you keep. pulling. me. back. innnnnnn!

Hey, that’s how I’ve given myself the title of Number One Spinitron Influencer!!! 🎖

Dreyfus quote "Shall I get the cops? I'll get the cops."

my dad was in the gym with dreyfus in sunvalley idaho

dreyfuss

Man, he gets around

DJ Dante, tell us more about your interview tonight! By the way, it’s me, MrM! I don’t this “MrMal” 😬

He's out in my driveway waxing m car, even as we speak

MalMan

The Malster

Don’t do that, Stevie P.

Malaroonie

Should I embellish the P on your name? 🤨

Go ahead. Make my day.

Haha

Give it your best shot, Maladroit

haha my great grandparents built a cabin in ketchum Idaho in the 40s. we went every summer growing up. i love it there. saw lots o' celebrities from leslie nielsen, cherry tiegs, john sununu, dan and marilyn quayle (no thank you), LT (Lawrence Taylor), Jamie Lee Curtis, The Bionic Woman herself, Lindsay Wagner, of course Bruce and Demi, who had property in nearby Hailey

Who dis?!? 🎶

Sir Malcolm Trent Esq.

oops cheryl tiegs

80s disco linear movement

we knew what you meant. ;)

Fun times! Nice list! I’d like to hug most of them!

haha

techniques berlin founded in ontario, canada 1985

my finger is getting tired from flashing my office lights

haha

As I told someone the other day while watching a "Hill Street Blues" rerun, the only celebrities I ever accidentally encountered were Veronica Hamel and Federico Castelluccio.

That snooki business just shows what an old-timer I am. When folks say “John Legend”, I think of Johnny Legend of wrestling/rockabilly fame. When folks say “Iggy”, I think of Pop not Azalea. When folks say “Avengers”, I think of John Steed not Tony Stark. When I hear “Scarface”, I think of Howard Hawks not Brian DePalma.

This is totally tubular! 1985!

I saw Johnny Winter on a motorcycle on Ventura Blvd

david, that is all much cooler than the newer version. howard hawks. one of the greats!

That’s great, David Shortell! Stay YOU! Stay away from Snooki and the like! Haha! Seriously.

stevie! i can totally his white hair flowing in the breeze on venture!

Ventura...

yeah, mr. m! tubular

Ha!

Is this one from the 1980s too??

THIS IS NOT AN EXIT

New stuff that sounds like old post-punk! https://anumpreto.bandcamp.com/

super cool, brazilian

This is TheBeesKnees!

What about DETACHMENTS??

From 2010??

this is the cat's spats in frog's pajamas

https://detachments.bandcamp.com/track/i-dont-want-to-play yes from 2010

46 skiddoo - twice as good as 23 skidoo

SWELL! Thanks, DJ Esoterica!

Haha! @BrianD!

Stevie P! 😝🤣😝🤣

CAN!

Why are the bandcamp prices marked as £ and not $??? Do you check out with that price?? I’m not familiar.

I CANNOT right now! It’s CAN❣️

haha yeah baby!

i just listened to tago mago at work two hours ago!

work break ! yay. joining the party. hi all !

party on, tom!

hey andrew! yo!

and that's wild!

synchronicity

Hi, Tom!

to answer your question before, mr. m, because atum preto is Brazilian, so money diff format?

but i could listen to halleluwah on repeat all day, so it's all good!

cooooolllllll

When folks say Can, I think of the French cabaret dance “the can-can” not the Krautrock group (Nah, I’m just being silly now).

haha

Ha!

Okay, thanks DJ Esoterica. I’ll continue to investigate the bandcamp situation.

Chief Inspector Malcontent

good, mr. m!

That was glorious. Groove a mile wide on that Can track. Tago Mago is always welcome

agreed, bri:)

and thx

this sanisidro is right in your wheelhouse, bri, too

Sounds great. Low bari-guitar love it

recorded at tigruss studios in alicante! sundrenched espana

https://www.slovenly.com/artist/sanisidro/

I saw Wau Y Los Arrrghs at Maxwell’s in 2009. They flagrantly ignored (or maybe they just forgot) the smoking ban and lit ‘em up on stage. The club management allowed it though.

whoa, crazy

MELVINS!

love this creepy song!

"they're not dead, just sleeping...

sick lyrics

Now this is some juxtaposition!

haha yup

Great show, DJE. As per usual.
