…is the opening line from The Dope King’s Last Stand, “Drugs, Violence, Patriotism, Comedy… The whole ball of wax wrapped up in a package aimed at kids.” As usual, the anti-drug message contains lots of groovy sounds for the discerning head. Not surprising since half the people who contributed are well-known dopers. Download the entire album, just one of the fab offerings up on this year’s go-round of the 365 Days Project.
An insider’s account of military tests of LSD and other psychedelics

There were many acid tests happening in the 1950s and 1960s. Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters dosed sometimes-unsuspecting proto-hippies. The CIA was dosing unsuspecting mainstreamers. Leary dosed fully cognizant artists, therapists and students. But meanwhile, over at Army Chemical Center at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, psychiatrist James S.Ketchum was testing LSD, BZ and otherpsychedelic and deliriant compounds on fully informed volunteers for the U.S. military.
Now, Dr. Ketchum has released his fascinating self-published memoir, Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten, primarily detailing his times at Edgewood. The book boasts charts, graphs and experimental reports — a veritable goldmine of information for those who are interested in psychedelics, deliriants, or chemical warfare. It’s also a funny, observant, and reflective personal memoir, casting a light not only on Ketchum and his work, but on a decade that saw 60s counterculture and the military share an oddly intersecting obsession with mind-altering drugs.
The MP3 of R.U. Serious’s interview with Dr. Ketchum is just a click away.
The Velvet Underground Acetate — $25,000 or $0.00?

Some sucker paid $25,000 on eBay for that rare acetate of the Velvet Underground’s lost Scepter studio sessions (picked up on a New York Chelsea Street by Warren Hill for 75 cents). Now, by the miracle of internet piracy, you can download copies of the tracks for free, courtesy of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog:
Here are the Mp3s, in the running order of the acetate (which differs from the order of the actual VU and Nico release). You can hear the marked difference in tracks like “European Son”, and while some of these same takes wound up utilized for the Warhol LP, these are rougher mixes.
