Nite Jewel - Good Evening
Dr. T COSIGN >>> NITE JEWEL.
This girl duo from L.A. makes dreamy music with blurry casio melodies and funny drum machines. Good Evening, the 2008 debut, is sort of similar to The Chromatics & Glass Candy (in lady musicking terms) but has much more in common (recording wise) with Ariel Rosenberg (Ariel Pink).
Good Evening is so good you can't even understand what the hell is going on.
Sounds a lot like coming down off ecstasy, the next day, 3 joints into recovery.
Dr. T says - do what you gotta do, cop that GOOD EVENING.
7 days of Disco

Play one for each day of the week. doctors orders, no refills.

Timothy Leary - Turn on, Tune in, Drop out

Timothy Leary's - Turn on, Tune in, Drop out was dropped in 1967, as a means of spreading the gospel of acid. The album is mainly the spoken word narrative of Leary leading a trip, which is interspersed with sitar, drums, and assortment of all the other lynchpin's of psychedelia.
Timothy Leary and Dr. T, the leaders in alternative therapies towards supreme enlightenment for citizens of the decaying west.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Ariel Pink is fucking weird. and also weirdly talented.
This dude has put out over 500 songs on cassette
(which is also the favored format of so many of those
westcoast psychedelic krautrock-ish noisemakers of current times).
That being said, where to start with a deeply musical weirdo, how about a 7"?
A recent discovery of the doctor,
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Can't hear my eyes/Evolution's a lie.
These 2 nuggets represent two very different and very enjoyable aspects of the Ariel Pink Haunted Graffiti experience.
Can't hear my eyes is super loungey,
while evolution's a lie has a rumbling noisy anxious quality.
enjoy!

Teengirl Fantasy & a note on missing the bus


Living the life of an MD in the big city can be taxing. The doctor has a hard time keeping track of all his appointments, clients, and internetting responsibilities, much less social obligations.
Missing out on shows blows. Because of busy business over the last week and a half, the doctor totally forgot and therefore did not attend 3 events featuring one of his favored musical combos that graced the fair urban utopia of his practices.
Teengirl Fantasy, i lament missing out on such a chance opportunity to dance to your lovely tuneage.
In subsequent angst and pricklyness, dr. t has decided to break out the little black bag and feature the tgif ep and a dublab.com set from '08. Take heed and on an empty stomache.

45:33: Nike Original Run -James Murphy

Keeping with the theme of featuring tracks by electronic artists who have partnered up with major sneaker companies, Dr. T would like to direct the reader's attention to 45:33: Nike Original Run.
James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem released this long player two years ago, which features a number of DFA tracks sampled and spliced and mutated into the perfect music for jogging. Not really, but this almost all instrumental jam was commissioned for something akin to jogging, at least in the doctor's eyes. Great Cardio right here ladies n gents.
