For years I’ve looked to YouTube channels like stoned meadow of doom and 666mrdoom for new band suggestions from all over the world. In recent years I’ve heard some of those channels aren’t the greatest to the bands they share, but I’ve still used 666Mrdoom to find bands to check out on my own. But just a second ago I started listening to an album they posted 8 days ago, and realized even the YouTube description said “Made with AI. Sounds and video were altered or fully generated”. Fuck this! I’ve looked to this channel for many years and I guess I’m a fool to think they would be above posting slop bands. I already had trust issues with any new band post ~2025, but now I legitimately have to research and find proof of human beings. The only positive is that it’s encouraged me to search for new music from decades past. New bands just starting out, keep making art, and just show me that you’re human lol. I hate that you have to compete with slop, and that it’s creeped into our niche corner of the music world. Just sharing this to keep up the fight against AI.

Something a bit different this Saturday night…While clearly not stoner rock, I’ve been listening to an interesting punk/hip-hop/? English group “Big Special” and this track features a very stoner riff, I dig it! ‘Big Special- I MOCK JOGGERS’[2024]’

Is this a “Steinkern” of an old snail shell? Found at Myrtle Beach, SC

Is this an episode of “I love Elevators?”

Have you heard this?! Incredibly unique and catchy new album! ‘ Besvärjelsen- Till Glomskan Ad Ovlivionem [2026, Sweden]

Found this back in 2024 at Myrtle beach, SC. I don’t know if someone placed it, or it washed up, but I gasped when I picked it up!

So I just saw Khemmis for the first time and I cried my fucking eyes out.

J.W. Stillwater, holder of the power cosmic!

They were channeling some serious stoner/doom energy from the future on this one. The proto-journey continues with this awesome track from English band Stray’s self titled debut album..Enjoy! -Stray-Taking all the Good Things(1970)

Went for a hike while in North GA this week, and something seemed familiar….

AI bullshit on YouTube warning post

I was curious if this is where ATW got their name from, but TIL it’s from the film Rosemary’s Baby…Regardless, this is a jam. ‘Stark Naked-All of Them Witches’(1971)

You gotta be kidding me! Vanilla Fudge were straight up doomin’ in ‘69…did they know?? This is as haunting and heavy as anything in the genre from the next almost 60 years. When that riff comes in, my god ———Vanilla Fudge- Some velvet morning (1969)

Was told that I need to schedule my annual work vacation so I started looking for shows to catch…UNFORTUNATELY the Monolord, Khemmis, and Earth Tongue show earlier in the month was sold out, but this will do just fine!!

Heavy jams from the 70’s! Bolder Damn- Got That Feeling(1971) you could have told me this was from the 2000s based on the riffs and album art!

I love discovering gems from the past…From Australian band “McPhee”’s self titled and only album, which is mostly covers…McPhee- I am the Walrus- 1971, Australia

‘Laughing at the law, the brothers say you like to get high….Mother said “You’re gone”, tripping on the Fourth of July’. …Karma to Burn-Ma Petite Mort
