– NEW YORK psychedelia! bwalawalawwawa.

This is the third state in the 50 States of Psychedelia project here at Global Psychedelia.  The first one I did was Illinois, then California, and now New York!  I started with, perhaps, some of the easiest States but I am dedicated to doing all 50.  Through these playlists I hope, mostly, to turn you on to some music and artists that you might not have heard before.  I also want to play some music from bands you might be like, “whoa, they’re not psychedelic!” and be like – whoa, yeah, well, this song is.  Lastly, I want to make sure I play some of the “you have to have them on the list!” bands: for example, The Velvet Underground for NY psych (and punk, rock, etc.).
