About Dan
Working on a new poetry rock album,
Phosphene River, with Fuzzhead, The
Heads, Speed Guru Kawabata Makoto
from Acid Mother’s Temple,
Mammatus, Plastic Crimewave Sound,
Residual Echoes and White Hills. The
new Unknown Instructors album, The
Master's Voice, is finally finished and
will be released by Smog Veil in March
2007. David Thomas and Raymond
Pettibon also joined in the fun. Below
are some reviews for the Jamnation
album released last year by
Prestidigitation . . . This is rock ’n’ roll
and this is improvised genius, getting
to your destination any way you
possibly can. So, what does it sound
like? Wah guitars, Ash Ra
Tempel/Amon Düül II takes on Detroit
hi-energy rock ’n’ roll, plus Hapshash
percussion and campfires and lots of
drugs in the darkness. It sounds
inspirational and visionary and like
every great freeform rant. It’s a vocal
delivery from the other end of the
universe that dares to leave huge
swathes of instrumental passages
intact, McGuire only ever interjecting
briefly before backing off so that the
waves of sonic tsunami can rammel ya
on his behalf. This superb album is
something to grow and grow on us all
because it sounds like everything
we’ve known and loved forever … Look
Out! —Julian Cope (Head Heritage)
Album of the Month, July 2005 . . .
The hypnotic drone of the music
coupled with captivating subject
matter is thoroughly entertaining and I
find that once I start this album I most
often listen to it in its entirety. Dan
McGuire and this showcase of amazing
musicianship manages to capture the
spirit of heavy psychedelic rock
perfectly and stuffs a snapshot of the
current underground music scene right
into the third eye of stoner rock.
—Dave Jones (StonerRock.com) . . .
McGuire has gotten it into his head to
speak his spoken words not over some
tired Beat-style bongo jam or loungey
jazz backing, but over searing electric
guitar ramalamajama, epic-length
tracks by some far-out and obscure
heavy rock bands old and new
(American '70s psych monsters the
JPT Scare Band and Josefus, modern
day stoner space rockers Gas Giant
and ILD HU from Holland, and Japan's
retro doom hippies Eternal Elysium).
When he is talking, he weaves his
words perfectly into the rhythms of
the music so that we're just digging
the totality of the listening experience.
—Aquarius Records . . . By fusing two
seemingly incongruent art
forms—heavy psychedelic music and
spoken word poetry—McGuire
challenges convention by introducing
something completely different. How
many other intrepid poet visionaries
put themselves out there to meld the
two? The thing I admire is that
McGuire makes it a true collaboration,
his often brilliant poetry just an added
instrument vs. an ego-driven focal
point. And the collaborations are
exciting, especially for those that get
their jollies listening to the free-form
musical language of jams. —Chris
Barnes (Hellride Music) . . . This is a
CD you can hear 100 times and never
get tired of it as the jams just scream
out at you and the spoken words are
excellent. A masterpiece; I can't wait
for the follow up. 5 out of 5! —Scott
Heller (LowCut Magazine) . . .

Thanks for being a friend of the Jesse Bernstein
tribute page!
Please consider subscribing to the blog; we will
continue to publish short stories, poems and essays
by Jesse, as well as periodic essays by people who
knew and worked with him. And comments about
the pieces in the blog, Jesse's work generally and
the tribute page are always fun and welcomed.
"The test of the integrity of a poem, or any work of
art, may be, simply: does it lead, in the end, to
freedom, or does it merely expand the arena of
confinement? A voice from the outside, truly, is what
we need to hear. Even a single word. Even
something that is not a word, but suggests such a
word."
--Jesse Bernstein, 1987

"The Electric Eels were an in-your-face punk band
whose singer, Dave E. MacManus, sounds almost
identical to original Black Flag/Circle Jerks frontman
Keith Morris. On first listen, the live track "Spinach
Blasters" may be misconstrued as a racist attack
with its repeated epithets, but the band got the
lyrics from a blasphemous pro-Nazi newsletter they
spotted, and wanted to confront and show their
audience how ridiculous and unfair racism is."
