So I've been grooving on Strawberry Alarm Clock these past few days. They were a favorite of mine in high school, back when I was probably groovier than I'll ever be, but only now do I really appreciate how far-out these guys really were.

Everyone should know this song. Everyone.

In one of my high school notebooks (probably my composition book, which was handed in at the end of every class) I'd sketched down "who cares what games we choose/little to win, but nothing to lose".

"Incense and Peppermints"



This next song reminds me of many mornings/afternoons spent traipsing around town taking pointless pictures and enjoying my own company as a young girl.

I've always loved the line "old folks try to catch their breath as children catch their jacks". This song is just packed with interesting passages.

"Barefoot in Baltimore"



This one reminds me of someone I knew at the time. I used to play it to taunt him, because he had a tiny dick.

"Small Package"



I always thought this was some kind of really deep stuff, but here's a ton of nonsense lyrics written by a bunch of dudes who were obviously tripping their asses off.

"Black Butter [Past/Present/Future]"



And this is just 8 and a half minutes of pure psychedelic grooviness.

"The World's On Fire"



Another long, groovy one for you:

"Curse of the Witches"



But what I've really been grooving on is this.

"Pretty Song (from Psych Out)"



I was going to write an entire feature on these guys, but it seems sort of fruitless. Nobody really knows who they are, so I may as well just post my favorites and be on my merry way.
