Miles beyond the garage. Read the full description.

375px-bitchesbrewgatefold_small This week we temporarily forego the garage-rock for the most part in favor of...well, a lot of stuff actually. Like a set of tunes from 1968, a set from the Buffalo Springfield, a bit of British blues, some San Francisco rock, and, most noticably, a twenty-minute track from the groundbreaking Miles Davis LP Bitches Brew, often cited as being the album that invented both jazz-rock fusion and acid-jazz. The cover art's pretty cool, too (see below).
