The term "goin' solar," which appears as the title of this post comes from the excellent mid-'90s San Francisco band Men's Club. It simply means lighting your bong using nothing more than a magnifying glass and the sun's rays. Sounds a little dumb, and very Californian, but I bet you want to try it now, don't you? Now I wonder if way back in 1978 Grobschnitt was hip to this practice of "goin' solar" over their in their town of Hagen, Germany? This fantastic album of sun-worshipping stoner prog was recorded live and it is Grobschnitt's finest moment. The band expands and improvises on their epic song "Solar Music," the result is an angel's flight around the heliosphere where solar storms of THC choked riffage conspire to give your longing earholes a melanoma of catharsis. Fuck, I am high.
me too! (stoned)
