I just discovered this very interesting blog:

Amongst the screeching Bollywood style sounds (some of which are pretty cool, but in general not my cup of Darjeeling) there are some fantastic garage and psych sounds.

Some of the highlights:

There's a Divshare player underneath each picture.
Maybe Divshare was down when you visited the site? Just try again.
 
I should probably note that i was looking on my pseudo advanced android fone :/. Will check on the laptop...
 
This site looks very interesting, looking forward to checking it out. Thanks. :)

On a sidenote, I've had trouble playing Divshare files on my Mac lately, both using Firefox and Safari... Any suggestions on how to fix it are most welcome.
 
The guy who runs the blog is from Hamburg as well, I know him. Nice fella. He digs "western" garage a lot but specialized on eastern 45s because there is not so much collectors competition.

@Andreas, I'm on a mac as well, no problems with the files, maybe you need to make sure you have all OS and software updates.

Nice guy. I emailed him a couple of days ago, and there are plans to release a vinyl comp with the best garage/psych/pop stuff from his collection. Can't wait!

i just hope Florian's vinly comp will focus on the garage / 60s tracks and I'll be the first in line to buy it....
 
Cool to see this stuff here! Florian, who runs this blog, is my former roommate. It was always great when he got a new package from India with new records. Good times!
