The Mark III - "Funky Heaven"

I wish to god I could afford Now-Again Records' "Now-Again Reserve," especially after listening to the forthcoming Marvin Whoremonger reissue from The Mark III. Sadly, my funds are tied up in diapers and wipes these days so I'll just have to re-listen to "Funky Heaven" on Soundcloud a bunch of times. But if you've got the coin for it, one listen to this behemoth of a track from a bunch of Vegas teenagers should convince you to pony up.

Stephen David Heitkotter - "Cadillac Woman"

I have heard the future, and it is the past. The always-on-point-and-definitely-hyphenized Now-Again Records have reissued an obscure psych rock classic (apparently only 25 copies originally pressed) from one-time Road Runners drummer Stephen David Heitkotter. Schizophrenia cut his career short and his record Heitkotter under the moniker Black Orchid became a whisper and an echo.

Listening to what Now-Again has released as Black Orchid under Heitkotter's own name, it's a shame that this didn't achieve the acclaim it deserved in its day, but damn is it still impressive.

Black Orchid is available for purchase here. Check out "Cadillac Woman" via Soundcloud below.
