Valerian Tea, the debut full-length from San Francisco’s Magic Fig, combines the gentler side of 1970s progressive rock with dashes of 1960s psychedelic folk and 1980s video game-style synths. It’s an intriguing combination that serves the band well. Vocalist Inna Showalter’s breathy, ethereal singing anchors the group. That allows guitarist Muzzy Moskowitz and keyboardist Jon

Dreams are our safe space. They are places to process the most personal of emotions and to learn to cope with our private reality in whatever form our subconscious brain dictates. Often confusing, nonsensical, and terrifying all at once, dreams give a uniquely personal insight into our true selves. While no one can access them,
Meco’s disco version of the Star Wars theme hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in October of 1977, selling two million copies internationally.

Marking our lives and times with music can feel like we are in a conversation with the bands we love. Sometimes those conversations only last for a few records or years.

The enduring myth is that the Beatles and their UK brethren were a much-needed shot in the arm for an otherwise moribund American pop music scene of the early 1960s.

An MGM musical classic, initially overlooked but reclaimed in later years on the strength of its cinematic daring, 1952’s Lovely to Look At stands as one of Hollywood’s Golden Age’s most forward-thinking pictures.

The Georgia boys in R.E.M. are still missed, 15 years after they broke up. They rolled out of the South in the early Eighties, in a swirl of kudzu and guitar chime, defying all the corporate-rock clichés and taking over as one of the all-time great American bands. They built an untouchably fearsome songbook, from
