The Off-Colored Officer - Erkin Koray



Yes, the Off-Colored Officer has come back again after quite a long absence, making way for the 30 best albums list. And by the look of things, this should also spell for the return of One Day Holiday and Very Grammatic features as well. To avoid confusion over things, here's an itinerary of how these features will be featured in this blog:
1) One Day Holiday - This is the original feature in this blog where new albums are reviewed. But please do not confuse this feature with REVIEWED. Check number 4 (Hint: Some random thoughts are included)
2) Very Grammatic - When there is absolutely nothing (musically) to talk about, here's where random musings go
3) The Off-Colored Officer - If there is any interesting piece of music from the realms of psych rock, cosmic rock, or anything that is 'weird' that is worth raving about, this is the place to do so
4) REVIEWED - Here is where an album is reviewed, and nothing else. No bulshits, only cold hard facts baby
5) LISTED - When we've ran out of things to BS about, we'll come up with a list. Of things

To kick off 2011 in style, here I re-post again (if not in this blog then it must've been at my previous no-longer-existed blog) a video from Turkey's prominent figure in their rock music history, Erkin 'Baba' Koray. It was largely thanks to this website (quite an unlikely place) who introduced me to this Turkish rock music legend. There will be another Turkish musical legend making an appearance soon, so watch this space out. I don't know why but there is something quite hypnotic about Turkish rock music. Maybe that's why they call it psych rock?

I have absolutely no idea what this song is about but I know that it's one of my all-time favorite off-kilter song.
