Yogi Adonaiasis - Gettingittogether



Here is a weird double album from 1971 with a hippie guru named Yogi Adonaiasis. The entire first side of the album is just him introducing the songs on the album, and it's the best track on the album! The reason it works is due to his hip groovy guru language and the fact that he is in an echo chamber. This one is best listened to with headphones. Shoutout to the dachshunds.
From Waxidermy: "Truly bizarre double lp made by this lounge singer turned self-styled yogi. Side one is deep thoughts about being, spoken through super echoed-out effects. Much like what you'd expect to find from a psychedelic guru of the time. The weird part is that the other 3 sides are basically normal, albeit crudely recorded, schmaltzy lounge standards like "My Way". Apparently, enlightenment came on so fast for this dude that there is a significant overlap of lifestyles captured here.

ENJOY

I am in a very musical frame of mind today, so here is som woerd folk music.

Joanna Newsom - Monkey and Bear



This song is about a man (monkey) taking a woman (ursula/bear) and using her for his own gain, but bear takes his place (as ursula) among the stars. She is definitely a story teller.
