3,000 GUITARS, THEY SEEM TO CRY

I woke up this morning with Blue Öyster Cult's "Cities on Flame With Rock & Roll" running through my head. This is an alarmingly frequent occurrence, but today it actually means something: Dirk, the proprietor of a substantial psych/heavy MP3 blog named after the first great song from Long Island's finest rock band, passed away earlier this week after a long battle with cancer. Unfortunately I didn't know about the blog until a messageboard acquaintance posted a reference to his passing, but there's a lot of material there to search through, especially for fans of Japanese psych and '60s pop (Jacks, Flower Travellin Band, the Spiders, etc).
