Your Heart Is Angry, But Your Mind Is Stoned

This single was posted at this blog about three years ago. The reason I repost this single is the fact that a copy was delivered by the mailman today.

500 Ft. Of Pipe was a Drug Rock band from Detroit, USA. This trio has released three full lenght albums, one EP and this single.

Side A of this single contains the song So Good. This is a pretty great song. And there is this track on side B: Your Heart Is Angry (But Your Mind Is Stoned). This song is so damned awesome. It is one of the best songs that is ever recorded. It is a hell of a Rock 'n' Roll song. Enjoy!

BLUESONG: Another Project Of Ross Westerbur!

After playing keyboard and singing in 500 Ft. Of Pipe and Aquarius Void, Ross Westerbur appears now on Hammond organ and vocals in a new project called Bluesong. This trio from Detroit plays Heavy Psych Rock. In 2008 they recorded a four-track demo. I can't find any further info, except for the MySpace page.

AQUARIUS VOID

Peter from Greece sended this one to me (Thanx Again). Aquarius Void is a great band after 500 Ft. Of Pipe has quit. Beside the 7" the download contains the Basement Demos from 2006.

With a pedigreed lineup (see Ross Westerbur of 500 Ft. of Pipe; Mike Alonso of Five Horse Johnson and Speedball; and Zach Shipps of Atomic Numbers and Electric Six), it's no wonder Aquarius Void hurls fistfuls of space rock that can shake molars and crack sternums. Catch them whenever possible.

500 FT. OF PIPE

It seems that I have the nasty habit to post bands that splitted up. So is 500 Ft. Of Pipe. Great Stoner Rock from Detroit Rock City, but 500 Ft. Of Pipe called it Drug Rock. Whatever.

500 Ft. Of Pipe is a drug rock band from Detroit. 'Drug rock' is a term used by the band to provide a framework for their collective aesthetic vision, to crystallize their nebulous inspirations/aspirations into a distinct and meaningful 'sound'. The formula calls for equal parts distortion, psychedelia, and stoner ennui, buffered with old-fashioned pop sensibilities, and catalyzed by means of a certain notorious pastime. Think Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer; think Monster Magnet and Kyuss; think MC5 and Stooges; think Doors and Deep Purple. Then again, think something entirely different altogether. 500 Ft. Of Pipe is new. 500 Ft. Of Pipe is a trio fronted by a stand-up rock-out two-fisted keyboard player (Ross Westerbur), who belts out angry-young-man lyrics interwoven with 'yeah, baby!'-type rock and roll exclamations, while his left hand coaxes stunning lines from a Rhodes Piano Bass (a la Ray Manzarek), and while his right attends to a distortion-drenched, Marshall-fueled Rhodes Seventy-Three, sounding more Ritchie Blackmore than John Lord. Terminally jaded guitarist Kevin Edwards offers the six-string counterparts of soaring, echo-fuzz-wah screams and pentatonic riffage (surely these are the 3,000 guitars that Buck Dharma prophesied!), while drummer Mick Stone attacks his minimalist kit with all the vehemence that only his Type A-plus personality could invoke. Heavy... ...This is drug rock, baby.
