Department Store of the Soul: Rock Section and Other Stories Kindle Edition

by Robert William Courtney (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

The Legend of Rock Section is the mythic thread woven through The Department Store of the Soul, part alter ego, part spiritual archetype, part cosmic prank. Born from a psychic séance where the spirit of Jim Morrison allegedly dictated a song—“Rock Section”—to a group of young seekers, he emerged not just as a band name or song title, but as an encoded identity. A one-man revolution hidden in plain sight. A psychic download. A mystery school in a guitar riff.

Rock Section is the eternal outsider, forged in a cauldron of broken dreams, creative betrayal, and buried power. He disappears when wounded, retreats into myth, then resurfaces years later when the stars realign—namely, during the spiritual liberation of 2020, when time stopped and everything false burned away. He lives at the intersection of shamanism, glam punk, psychic rebellion, and esoteric truth.

He is the man who can walk through fire because he remembers he is the fire. The silent witness at your most transformative moment. The spirit that never dies, just reincarnates through melody, word, and spark. He is the part of you that refuses to give in to mediocrity. And when you’re ready to return to the truth of who you are, he’s already there—waiting with a leather jacket, a battered notebook, and the next verse of your life’s song.

Rock Section isn’t just a legend. He’s a code in your soul, waiting to be activated.

Singles – Unleashing the Fuzz: 31 Tracks of Modern Rock Revival

“The 31-track, Twenty-First Century Singles compilation album, featuring “New Rock Section”. A sonic time capsule cracked open, unleashing a swirling storm of fuzz-laden riffs and unrelenting rhythm. The track embodies the band’s signature blend of psychedelic garage rock, post-punk grit, and alternative audacity. It is a sound that has always been ahead of its time, whether in the 1980s or today’s era of genre-fluid rock revivalists”. Exposed Vocals

“An album getting more interest these days, as it was always meant to be, with the original cover and missing tracks. One of a few missing links between the One Million Fuzztone Guitars of the 1980s and the 2020s.

Volume II of live, improvised, one-take, gig-ready songs. The point of what I’m doing now musically  is getting away from any form of artifice. They are all live, one-take stereo recordings, not multi-track, with no added effects other than minimal volume editing and EQ. The sound and mix is all set up in the room and is one voice, one guitar, 3 amps and a Pearl Export bass drum. No overdubs allowed. I got fed up with creating things I couldn’t possibly replicate. Not using click tracks or drum machines frees me up to speed up, slow down or instantly go in any direction I choose. It may be minimalist but it’s real.

We Want Our Apocalypse Now (Remix) [Radio Edit]

Inspired by working on Paris Fashion Shows and the book ‘The Beautiful Fall’ about the 

rivalries and excess that left Rock and Roll standing, this truly genius remix by Ghost Flu Studios finally got the 46 tracks of the original to hang together and turn into the rock classic it was always threatening to be. “The first Roxy Music album meets Bowies Heroes, and then Steve Jones walks into the studio for the chorus; you certainly know how to create a stunning dynamic”.  

“Wow, the end product is very professional! It’s become quite an amazing track. Very surprising!” AQ

“I’m a huge Nine Inch Nails fan, and I think I can hear their influence in this track with the electronic style drums/drum patterns blended with rock/metal guitar flavours. Very, very cool.” LK

“Love the pool of influences, man, especially the first Roxy Music album. Remake/Remodel is absolutely genius, and I’m a huge fan of all things Brian Eno”. LK

Standing On A Planet (With You)

Get ready to rock out to the video for “Standing On A Planet (With You)” by One Million Fuzztone Guitars, Skin Patrol, and Robert Courtney! The single cover artwork sets the stage with a twist. Picture this: a bear found abandoned by the side of the road near a local waste site, just like in the beloved movie Toy Story. But this bear’s destiny took a different turn as this cool dude becomes an icon on the mean streets of New York City. 

The song itself is a beacon of hope, forged on a weathered GDR acoustic guitar salvaged from the shores of Lake Coniston. It just leapt off the fretboard and into the World.

“This track boasts a groovy interplay of guitars and serves as a high-octane anthem for sunny days. Absolutely brilliant!”

“The catchiness of this song is off the charts! The guitar sound is pure dynamite. It’s like The Only Ones colliding head-on with Lou Reed on Bridlesmith Gate. Love it!”

“That instrumental section hits you with a raw and potent sound, bursting with untapped potential. It’s time to explore that style further with an off-beat ballad that defies all conventions!”

Prepare to be blown away as we venture into the world of “Standing On A Planet (With You)”, an unruly spirit that will ignite your senses. Crank up the volume, hit that play button, and let the music take control!
