Kiloh Smith Blog

Kiloh Smith has been collecting psychedelic rock posters for over twenty years. His chief area of interest is Texas psychedelic posters. In his opinion, this is an extremely interesting area to collect in because Texas was one of the hotbeds of psychedelia in the Sixties. Additionally, these artifacts were done in extremely low runs compared to other places like San Francisco. Check out some videos below.

Kiloh Smith sees a Dentista in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. His Doctor, Doctor Gonzalez, is great and has saved him lots and lots of money over the last twenty years. Visiting him is easy, just drive to Nogales, Arizona and walk into Mexico. Then hail a cab to his office. Check it out below: Once you get to his address, just climb some stairs and go up into practice. He takes credit card. Is fluent in English. And he is a great Doctor. You pay about 25% of the Yankee price with Dr. Gonzalez. Check out this other video below: Visit his Facebook page by clicking this picture below: Here is his address and phone number: Dr. Gonzalez's USA phone number: (520) 313-5757 His Mexican Dentist practice address: Av. Obregon #228 INT.6, Nogales, Sonora, Mexico .

For the last 23 years, Kiloh Smith has run the world's largest, oldest and best Syd Barrett fan group. The group is known as the Laughing Madcaps and can be located by clicking this picture of Syd Barrett: This group has been responsible for many, momentous, things, in the Syd Universe, over the years. We started the amazing Have You Got It Yet? set about twenty years ago. This collected all of the unreleased Syd material into one collection; no more having to obtain a gazillion bootlegs. There has been a LOT written about it. Read some of it by clicking the picture below: That fans have the Pink Floyd, Early Years, box set is primarily due to HYGIY? The suits at EMI saw this thing being traded around freely and made their own iteration of it.  We are now working on Ver. 3.0 of HYGIY? This is going to be the be all / end all for fans of unreleased Syd. We've had some people come and go. We lost our beloved Moderator, Victor, to cancer a few years ago. Boy do we miss him. Get t...

We recently purchased a more robust smoker. Kiloh Smith & Anne Daniels just LOVE smoked meats & fish. The old, box, smoker was at the very, very end of life with Kiloh having to patch the bottom with scrap sheet metal. His wife, Anne, said to "Get rid of that *ghetto* smoker!" Here it is pictured and one can see that it truly was a *ghetto* smoker. BUT, it had provided years and years of good service and worked well still. As you can see, this smoker was beyond needing some TLC. I had to prop the door shut with a shovel. But there it is, working for us still. Anne didn't like how it looked and was concerned about people coming over and seeing it. My thought were; if they can't handle a *ghetto* smoker then screw 'em. That smoked mozzarella cheese, that the white suburbanites couldn't get enough of, was probably smoked in a garbage can with cut up New York Daily News strips as the combustion. This was told to me by my old friend, and actual Italian deli...

Here's a video of Kiloh Smith and Anne Daniels at the Soggy Peso in San Carlos, Mexico. San Carlos is right on the Gulf of Baja and is idyllic. The beaches are miles and miles long of white sand. The water is clear and green. We go to San Carlos as much as we can. The ride is approximately 400 miles but is very interesting; mostly through the Mexican State of Sonora. The food is amazing too, the freshest seafood you ever saw. These were some breakfast shrimp tacos right at the beach.

 Kiloh Smith and Anne Daniels recently visited Tumacácori Mission, just above Nogales, in Southern Arizona. The first mission was established by Jesuit Eusebio Francisco Kino and his followers in 1691. Tumacácori is in the Santa Cruz River valley. The Missionaries encountered O’odham, Yaqui, and Apache people. We were coming back from a trip to Mexico and decided to stop. Boy we glad that we did! The mission building is in disrepair but not a ruinous state. Inside it is cool and shady. I shot the below video with my GoPro camera.

Longtime 13th Floor Elevators fan, Kiloh Smith, recently started an online petition for Sundazed Records to release a "lost" 1966 set by that band. This was where the 'Elevators performed at a Battle of the Bands, in Rio Nido, California, during the fabled summer of 1966. The event was taped by an attendee and the tape has remained uncirculated for over 55 years. Some years ago, the person, who taped the 'Elevators, sold his cache of tapes to Sundazed Records. Kiloh had heard about the existence of this tape back in 2002 and then heard about the sale of it to Sundazed on his 13th Floor Elevators Faceboook group last week. He called "Jay" at Sundazed, who confirmed the existence of the tape and Sundazed's possessions of it. Kiloh then created the online petition which has gotten over 500 signatures within five days.

 No more "Broken Windows" Theory, at least in Baltimore, yaaaaaaaay! For those who don't know "Broken Windows" it is a theory, put forth as truth, by American Law Enforcement. It's similar to the discredited "Domino Theory" by American anti-Communists during the last Century. The "Domino Theory" stated that, if we let one country "fall" to Communism, more would follow like dominos toppling over in a line. "Broken Windows" states that, if the police don't aggressively arrest for small crimes; like breaking windows, the rule of law would tumble and society would fall apart. Another interpretation of "Broken Windows" is that the police need to aggressively enforce the small crimes in the "dark" neighborhoods, or then crime would "spill over" into the white neighborhoods. "Broken Windows" is a big reason that we are where we are today; an over-policed society where crime is preva...
