NME December 1967 - Can I Psych With Madness

Adventures in Remote Recording! In a special side episode, I'm temporarily leaving behind the world of 80s (and 90s) hard rock and exploring the distant galaxy of late 60s psychedelia. To do this I've roped in my old college buddy, so if you ever felt the world needed another podcast where two middle aged men reminisce about music that was made before they were born, look no further.  As a very flimsy twig to hang this thing on we've both been reading the NME from December 16th, 1967, and even though most of that paper is filled with an appreciation of Englebert Humperdink, we're drilling down and finding all the good stuff about Donovan, Procol Harum and Simon Dupree and The Big Sound.  Various psychedelic compilations are brought up and we get into The Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, Cream, King Crimson and many more. There's also a lot of rambling reminiscences about being at college during the time of grunge and britpop but still listening to Tim Buckley and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Stay tuned for more of these intermittent sidetrack episodes, depending on whether we can get the remote recording aspect sorted out!   Special note: our AMAZING theme music this week is by our pal Ol of @nithered_music - which it always is of course, but for this one, on a whim I asked him to do "something psychedelic" and he immediately knocked out this MASTERPIECE!   PWM68 Recorded 1st March,  2026 Note: As usual there's a longer version of this on the Patreon, as well as our test recording where we get into more PSYCH MADNESS (and loads of reminscing about being young bucks at college!)
