Know anything about the "psychedelic rock resurgence?"

[joefree1]

I heard about this on NPR but can't find any more info. Hope this trend continues. Here's what I found on the web.

Rock 'n' roll gets back to basics
Little bands like the Hives at center of genre's latest resurgence

edit ...
We are in the middle of yet another rock ‘n’ roll resurgence: simple (but not simplistic) music stripped down to the elemental essentials of guitar, bass, drums, vocals and attitude (the White Stripes have even stripped out the bass); bands with short, slightly anachronistic names like the White Stripes, the Strokes and the Hives.

edit ...
“A Little More For Little You” goes all the way back to the psychedelic ‘60s for its inspiration, putting all the rhythmic weight on the offbeats in the verses, then reversing the beat for the choruses. All the while Pelle wails at the very farthest reaches of his upper register, sounding best while singing worst in the truest rock ‘n’ roll tradition.

edit ...
Candy Stripes
The Detroit duo of singer, songwriter, guitarist Jack White, and drummer Meg White, a divorced couple musically known as the White Stripes, is the most basic, stylized (lurid red and white candy motif) and most successful of the lot thus far, playing a strange blend of proto-punk, psychedelic rock and electric blues, all infused with a Wagnerian romanticism. Their fourth and most recent album “Elephant” went double-platinum, won the 2003 Grammy for Best Alternative Album, and Best Rock Single Grammy for “Seven Nation Army.” Jack White also acted in, and contributed songs to the Civil War film “Cold Mountain,” and produced Loretta Lynn’s latest album “Van Lear Rose.”

• I am probably not the best person to ask about musical trends, considering I made up polka-electronic-death-country and jiggy-death-metal, but if it were up to me, I would like to see more blending of cultures and scenes. There's a lot cool stuff the Asian kids are doing in S.F., D.C., the E.B., and the S.B. And I like the psychedelic rock resurgence. But I really think it needs to go to the next level before it is going to pop the heater. That might be tough, though, with all the silos destroyed and all.

1. As Pete Townsend once said

"Rock and Roll will always...always..always...always...always.....overcome, eventually"

2. "Resurgence?" If any of these professional dickheads-on-autostroke

would pay attention, they'd hjave seen that psychedelic rock never went away. Go tell the Bevis Frond or Robyn Hitchcock or Wayne Coyne or Wayne Rogers that psychedelic rock is undergoing a "resurgence."

3. Bit late.

Aren't they?

4. That's so '02.

We're getting ready for a glam renaissance these days.

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. I'm still waiting for Stoner Rock to break big.
