Forget fancy production values or elaborate arrangements—these songs are all about fuzzy guitar riffs and making noise.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

all of these artists are awesome but…no 13th floor elevators they are like the coolest 60′s psychedelic garage-rock band (in my humble opinion)
Log in to replyThere are by my count 80 trillion amazing garage rock songs out there (give or take) so this is just a sampler of some of my favourites. But if you make your own playlist and link it here, I’d love to hear what your faves are!
Log in to replyAnna! I loved this playlist. You have excellent taste. I made two similar ones here:

Log in to replyNope! This is a playlist focuses on 1960s garage rock; the Cramps didn’t form until the late 70s. Similar sounds though!
