Bedroom/lo-fi psychedelia by unsung heroes of the '80s DIY cassette culture scene. From outsider synth-pop to Barrett-esque lysergic folk; from lo-fi garage-punk to basement prog: acid-fuzz guitars, cheap keyboards, primitive electronics, homemade vibes, and bizarre, funny lyrics. Pig Rider were formed in Kent, UK, in the late '60s by John Mayes and Colin Kitchener. With the help from some friends they recorded and self-released a series of acetate-only psych-folk albums in the mid-'70s (Heterophonies, Bloody Turkey Sandwiches...), which are prime examples of early DIY psychedelic music, highly sought after since a review of Heterophonies appeared in Richard Morton Jack's Galactic Ramble book. In 2013, collector Alexandre Mansuy (from the influential Somewhere There Is Music blog) found Mayes and Kitchener and was astonished when they told him their story: Heterophonies was only one of their many, many great recordings, 22 in all, including 45s, acetates, and tapes. Thanks to Mansuy, Guerssen is launching comprehensive Pig Rider reissue campaign, starting with The Robinson Scratch Theory. The compilation, compiled by Mansuy, includes tracks originally recorded between 1980 and 1986 and released as private cassettes. Pig Rider's sound brings to mind obscure DIY bands like The Desperate Bicycles, Instant Automatons, or Beyond the Implode - if those bands knew how to write catchy and well-crafted songs. But the most amazing thing is that Pig Rider were creating this kind of music for their own amusement without any knowledge of the post-punk or DIY movement. Although they were listening to bands like the Bonzo's, Pink Floyd, and The Misunderstood - "I played their 'Children of the Sun' 45 until the groove was worn out!" says Kitchener - Pig Rider claim that the main influence on what they played was the availability of instruments and what they could do with them - not always what they were designed for - and always pushing their limits. The Robinson Scratch Theory is presented in master tape sound with an insert/booklet containing detailed liner notes andphotos. The double CD edition includes four bonus tracks that are also available as a free download via Bandcamp. The compilation is released in advance of first-ever reissues of two of Pig Rider's ultra-rare '70s acetates, Bloody Turkey Sandwiches (1974) and Heterophonies (1975). Welcome to the twisted world of one of the truly pioneering DIY psychedelic pop bands.

Essential daily protection to complete my routine
As part of my skincare routine focused on improving dark spots on my face, sunscreen is a must. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70 has a smooth texture, a light and fresh scent, and feels comfortable on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy finish, which makes it easy to use every day.
I like how it protects my skin without altering my natural skin tone, making it a perfect final step in my routine. It complements my skincare well and helps me stay consistent with daily protection. The pack also includes three tubes, which is very convenient and practical.

This is the suntan lotion I’ll buy from now on.
Really nice suntan lotion. I brought it to a quick Florida trip in early summer. Very light compared to other products we have on hand. Not greasy. I plan to buy this in future once we run out. I also really liked the set of three 3oz containers which made it perfect for travel. I give this product 5 stars without hesitation.

Best dry-touch broad spectrum sunscreen available.
I've use this for the past 10 years. It is highly effective. In addition, a small amount goes a long way and it is NOT GREASY!! That is a major plus for me. I keep a short beard and it is easy to use with the beard. It functions very well and I have not found a better product. Other than its effectiveness, you can't tell you used it.
