Top 13 (of the Week)


Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology comes in. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.

13. Souvenir Stand – Wherever You Go
Holy fuck. Swoon. If this doesn't melt the ice off of your black metal heart, nothin' will. Summer's coming down fast. (K)



12. The Human Beast - Vol. 1
Here is comment from the Youtube clip "Hi. I am Gillies the guitarist with HB. Nowadays I manufacture floatation tanks (aka sensory deprivation chambers) in Singapore. Ed the bassist is an advertising exec in Budapest. John the drummer is a professor of business studies in Stoke."  Yeah that sounds about right: Business, advertising - sensory deprivation. If they reformed they might be able to take over the world this time. Literally take over the world. (S)


11. Too Dark Park
“There are two communities that use this park. One is the Pagan or occultist community, and the other, of course, is the homosexual community. Interestingly enough, they go hand in hand.” Awesome. (K)


10. Electric Moon
Another band name that is just a cool combination of words thoughtlessly clipped together? I think not. This Scandinavian cult ( I'm assuming they are a cult) really is the Electric Moon. If you live in the UK you ain't going to get to see 'em because the tour was canceled in case of health problems. That's right. It was preemptively canceled because if they went on tour they are sure to get sick. Or maybe they meant the audience was sure to get sick? Orange sunshine. (S)


9. Hippie Death Goddess (of the Week)
This is Linda Francis and her boobs and her flute. Just about everything I like is in this photo. Decades later, this chick would go on to become the hippy-trippy new-age Earth mother of the “Seat of the Soul” movement. Who knows what it does? Besides fleece rich rubes? But the point is, she's still living the dream. And I bet she can still jam on that flute. (K)

8. Bram Stoker - Heavy Rock Spectacular
I hate ELP because to me it's like goofy carnival rock. Well I think I might have a different view of carnival rock if Bram Stoker made their debut at Isle of Wight instead of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They are officially the dark overlords of carnival rock. I do declare it here and now!! (S)


7. Alizee – J'en Ai Marre
It is possible that I have posted this video before, but I just stumbled on this HD quality version, and I really think you should watch it. Empires crumble because of chicks like this, man. (K)


6. Broken Prayer
I couldn't resist this! Break neck hardcore mixed with space noises burping and zapping out of a thrift store keyboard. Riffs galore!! Weirdo deluxe!! From North Carolina!!!! get it! (S)



5. November 1964
Couple Polaroids from a very fucking crazy Halloween in the early 60's. Where? How? Who the hell is Erik? We may never know, but it's important to remember that when it's time to party, you should always party hard. (K)


 4. Dead Lord
The dead lord in this case is Phil Lynott. Introducing Lizzy-core. Why the fuck not? Originality is an illusion anyway. (S)


3. Lesbians React to Lesbian Porn
Wait, they don't use heels? Everything I know is wrong. (K)


2. Nightbitch - Chainmaker
Glenn Danzig has no clue what he's doing anymore, and Phil Lynott is dead. We already got Ramones-core and Lizzy-Core, so bring it on: Danzig-core. In fact I think this is the best Danzig album since How The Gods Kill. (S)


1. Mike Monroe – Ballad of the Lower East Side
I talked to Mike for an hour or so last week about the ol' days with Hanoi and about how he wiled away the 80's in NYC, hanging out with Hell's Angels and the tattered shards of the New York Dolls. I used to hang out down there on the weekends around that time too, to watch weird movies and buy cool shoes and T Rex t-shirts. Fuck, I think I sorta miss the Lower East Side too, and I never even lived there. Anyway, Mike's a champ and this jam is a rocker. (K)

Top 13 (of the Week)


Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology takes over. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.
13. Abandoned Suitcases of Insane Asylum Patients
Well, the title says it all, really. The Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane in Willard, NY, served and housed mentally ill patients from the 1910's until the end of the 60's, when it became the less sinister sounding Willard State Hospital. While clearing out some rooms in 1955, employees found a stash of suitcases brought there by patients and kept under lock and key for many decades. For some patients, the suitcase and its contents were their last connections to the outside world. In 2011, photographer Jon Crispin began a project: to photograph the suitcases and their contents. Fascinating, eerie, sad, and compelling. (K)


12. Viper Cobra
Glowing yellow and green raptors, sex dazed stoned blondes, the virgin mary, cool skulls, a flying rabbit shooting lasers out of his eyes at a moose! I'm describing the cover to Dinosaur Nation. The music itself reminds me of the Replacements on a date with Monster Magnet. I didn't think that would ever happen. Viper Cobra are from Rotterdam, so that might explain it.  (S)


11. Cerrone's Paradise
There once was a man named Cerrone. He was a weird, pint-sized Frenchman with a terrible mustache and a fondness for tinfoil tracksuits. Cerrone had a dream: to be the (French) King of Disco, and to have a harem of beautiful (French) Disco Chicks. If Cerrone had attempted such folly today, he'd be laughed at, humiliated, dismissed. But he did not attempt it today, he attempted it in 1977, and all of his dreams came true! (K)


10. Mother Dust - Volume 2
Outrageous bloody guitar freak-outs from modern day Krautrockers. I'm not sure about where Volume One resides, but you can score Volume 2 over at bandcamp. No other info avails.  (S)


9. Still-working 16th century monk automaton 
Looking for proof that demons once ran amuck amongst an unwary populace? Watch this. And then don't sleep for a week. (K)


8. Wire Demos 1976
Further proof emerges that Wire anticipated where punk was going  before it even really started. This is pre-razor sharp-ness Pink Flag. Young, loud and snotty. Heaping spoonfuls of Johnny Thunders, the Ramones and Black Sabbath.  One more cup of coffee brothers and sisters, head down to ghostcapitol and nick it. (S)


7. Idris Muhammed
Muhammed's 1977 album Turn This Mutha Out is heavy as fuck and smooth as silk all at once. If you dig flutes and the 70's and bad-asses and jazz-funk, you're gonna wanna ride this soul train hard. (K)

6. The Falcons
The soulful well from which Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, Robert Ward, and Mack Rice sprang. What more do you need to know? (S)

5. Tina Aumont
Been awhile since we featured a Hippie Death Goddess. Tina Aumont (RIP, 2006) was an American/French actress who starred in many memorable Euro-spy, giallo, sexy-schocker and far-out art films in the 60's and 70's (Modesty Blaise, Torso, The Howl, Fellini's Cassanova, etc.) and was even in Jean Rollin's freaky Two Orphan Vampires in 1997. She was wild, beautiful, exotic. A true 70's supergirl. Check out Mondo-Macabro's mini-doc/interview below. (K)



4. Starbuck - Rock 'n Roll Racket
An apartment complex in Hollywood. Every thursday night is a potluck by the pool. Casseroles, California wine, California Grass, a little Bolivian, and a jello mold for dessert. You're 34, look like Burt Reynolds, and can score with some of the younger tenants.  (S)


3. White Hex
I can't figure out where they're from: Italy? Berlin? Australia? But then again, this is not the kind of music that stays grounded to one place. White Hex are narco-goths, playing a kind of drawling, intoxicating hypno-darkwave. This is probably what porn sounds like after you've gulped down a teacup full of hemlock. (K)


2. Aquarius Rising: The Rock Festival Years by Robert Santelli
Sure everybody knows about Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont.  But what about the Festival Of Life, or the Atlantic City Pop festival? This book is an amazing study of all the major rock fests in the USA during the late 60's and early 70's. It's no wonder we didn't see these kinds of events reappear until 30 years later. They were all a mess. Financial and musical disasters. The baby boomers really knew how to misbehave and they all thought they were entailed to a free ticket. It's a riot of a read. An important edition to any Advanced Demonologist's library. (S)


1. Tomita
Isao Tomita is/was an early pioneer of electronic music. He began his career creating soundtracks for Japanese sci-fi cartoons in the mid 60's and then went on to reinterpret classical pieces with analog synthesizers. In 1974, he created his Grammy award-winning masterpiece, the Snowflakes are Dancing album. The album features Tomita's all-Moog renditions of Claude Debussy's tone paintings. I have no clue who Debussy is or what a tone painting is, but I am telling you that this record is THE FUCKING JAM. (K)

Top 13 ( Of The Week)




Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology takes over. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.



13. Blue Oyster Cult: Live At the Empire Concert Club Cleveland Ohio 1991
I never thought the day would come when I'm recommending a B.O.C. bootleg from 1991 but today is the day. These days the 8th wonder of the world has been reduced to playing chili cook offs and street fairs (I'm actually going to see them July 21st in San Diego..a street fair). This was recored for a radio broadcast and has the band in amazing form. They play all the hits with such ferocity and swagger it rivals On your Feet or On your Knees. (S)






12. Faithful Breath - Judgement Day 
16 blissful minutes of awesome late 70's Viking prog! (K)





11. Radio Birdman Live 1978!!!
Australia's answer to the Stooges and the MC5 by way of Blue Oyster Cult, I'm sure they are already your favorite band.  (S)




Roctober is one of the greatest music magazines of all time, ever, and they've just published their 50th issue, which also happens to be their 20th anniversary issue! 141 pages of arcane rock knowledge, weird interviews, kooky komics, and hundreds (if not thousands) of reviews printed in the tiniest font imaginable. So you might wanna break out a magnifying glass. Either way, this hefty tome will eat up your weekend, that's for sure. (K)





9.1968 Playmate Gale Olsen

On a recent trip back to the fatherland of New Jersey I picked up in some junk shop, a copy of From Playboy Press: The Youth Culture 1971. It's Playboys special report on what's happening with the youths in  early 70's America. It's got an awesome interview with Peter Fonda fresh off from the success of Easy Rider. He's a smart mother fucker. A cool story about a commune in New Mexico and a mind blowing panel discussion about Drugs with: Baba Ram Dass, John Finlator (former director of the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control), Alan Watts, William Burroughs, Harry J. Anslinger ( who is 80 at the time and was one of the main men behind prohibition and was the guy who made grass illegal!), Leslie Fielder, and James Coburn. But the real star of the show is 1968 Playmate Gale Olsen, holy hippie death goddess!!! She would make a later appearance in the glad mag almost 20 years later and her daughter became a playmate in 2009. Wow! (S)







8. Outer Spacist - Even Iller
These Ohio spacejammers released a single a year or two ago, "I Don't Care About Love, Baby" that knocked me out with its aggressive Stooges-riffs and sneering punk rock vocals. They were like Flipper jamming with Gaye Bykers on Acid. I figured they'd break up or fall out of a window or something because they sounded too crazed to last for long. Well, lo and behold they managed to keep it together long enough to spit out a fantastically sleazy mini-album of scorching cosmic punk. Hot! (K)

7. Brion Gysin: Dream Machine
I missed the Brion Gysin retrospective when it was in New York and I don't think it has come to L.A. so the next best thing is this companion book published by Merrell. It's the first comprehensive collection of the proto-psychedelicist's visual work assembled in book form. His art is more a product of personal psychological experiments, than finished pieces and although not all that groundbreaking, they are extremely ascetically pleasing.  He viewed art as a method to induce different state's of conciseness in himself through the process of creation. I like that. (S)









6. Nihilist Spasm Band - Destroy the Nations

So, who really invented noise-rock? My money's on these loonies. The Nihilist Spasm Band was a group of Canadian musicians, artists, tinkerers and manic street preachers who built their own instruments and created an unholy racket with 'em. They called it "Free improv". Everybody else called it a headache. This was in 1965, by the way! "Destroy the Nations" is a tasty track from their 1968 album, No Record. Most of the original members are dead at this point, but the Spasm Band is still together, and still battering eardrums with abandon.(K)






5. James Knight & The Butlers: Black Night (1971)
Let's face it…when was the last time you put on a 70's soul or funk record and were disappointed. Maybe it wasn't something you'd remember forever but it wasn't bad, in fact it was probably better than most anything else you listened to that day, even your favorite rock band.  So when it comes to 70's Soul it's really only worth reporting the truly great finds here on Advanced Demonology.  James Knight's Black Night recored for CAT records in Miami Florida, 1971 is a truly GREAT find. In fact I think it might be the most Advanced Demonological soul record of all time. Tailor made for this blog.  The record effortless dances a tight rope between smooth easy soul, down home funk, blues,  fuzzed out psychedelia,  and free jazz without ever becoming one thing or the another. James belts out his vocals with punk rock vigor with no apparent real concern for staying in key. His guitar sounds at times like the distortion is being achieved by plugging it into a clock radio.  He has a matter of fact charisma that keeps the listener pinned to tunes like funky cat, uncle joe, and fantasy world. There is a beautiful cover of Aretha Franklin's "Save Me".  Further proof that Miami's greatest legacy is 70's funk….well second greatest legacy next to 80's cocaine.(S)





4. Virgin prunes - Decline and Fall
Holy fuck. No one would dare to be this ridiculous/awesome these days. 80's goth was amazing.(K)





3. Badmags.com
Before cable TV, before home video, before  the inter-web  if you wanted to get your cheap sleazy kicks, in the privacy of your own home your best bet was magazines.  Yeah sure there were porn mags but there was all sorts of other rags to get your rocks off to (mostly porn disguised as something else): Detective mags, True Crime, UFO mags, Biker mags….It's fun to collect these things now, especially since the computer age. The eye candy is great and it's a fantastic way to see how the world was viewed. What old school stereos are worth grabbing. How lecherous  squares really viewed hippie girls. It's a kaleidoscope of sleazy  selections that one might find overwhelming rummaging through thrift stores and flea market bins. That's where Badmags.com comes in. An extremely well thought out online guide to the perverted periodicals of yore.  Each entry well written with tons of awesome covers scanned in.  Even whole sections dedicated Manson, Ed Wood Jr. and Myron Fass ; the publishing madman behind such forgotten gems as: Gasm(!?!), Acid Rock, Buccaneer, and Flick (which if you look at the title at the right angle it looks like FUCK..brilliant!). (S)




2. Freewheelin' Frank: Secretary OF The Angeles As Told To Michael McClure By Frank Reynolds

"the Earth is hell and on it there are Hell's Angels" It's 1965 and Frank is in his early twenties and he is a young man in the throws of the demon. He is at the top of the food chain of the toughest biker gang on the planet and at ground zero for the unleashing of one of the most powerful psychoactive drugs known to man. The combination makes for an amazing read. One minute he's talkin' about loving everyone the next minute he's talking about stompin' a guys brains out. There is an amazing scene where he is chased by the SFPD on his bike while high on acid, caught and almost beat to death, when he ends up in front of the judge the next morning, still dosing, the judges asks him if he's got anything to say, he recites the entire lyrics from Dylan's "It's Alright ma".  The poet Michael McClure basically typed the book as Frank Reynolds talked, the two remained friends and when frank was sent to prison for arson in the 70's Michael sent him a book on zen to help him through. When he got out frank became a zen hermit and lived alone in the redwood forest, near a waterfall. He died in 2003. (S)








1. The Curiosity Rover is due to land on Mars in August. So how hard is it to drop a robot on to the surface of another planet?
 It's insanely hard. Check out this excellent video detailing the various means utilized to make it happen. (K)

Top 13 (of the Week)


Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology takes over. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.



13. Burden of Dreams 
So Werner Herzog made a movie, Fitzcarraldo, about a bunch of maniacs dragging a ship through the over a mountain. For authenticity, he got a real ship, and dragged it over a fuckin' mountain. Burden of Dreams is a documentary that depicts Werner's descent into filmic madness. When Klaus Kinski seems like the sane one, you know you're in for a bumpy ride. (K)



12. Electric Holy Land
I'm starting realize that Jesus is actually cooler than Satan. Not from an organized religious standpoint ( I don't know anything about that jive),  but from a rock 'n roll stance, he's way cool. All the hipsters are absolutely afraid of him, he's a bearded longhair, digs wine, most likely digs weed ( just look at him), is full of spaced-out love for  hookers and thieves and other anti-establishment low life's, and can do psychedelic card tricks. Jesus is totally underground right now. Electric Holyland is exhibit A in my case. 12 blistering tracks of spaced out Jesus rock !  All from the original master tapes and all with the consent of the original groups involved. Only 500 pressed up from Lysergic Sound Distributors. I got number 432.  My only complaint is this could of been a great opportunity for a for a book insert  about this phenomenon. Praise to the church of the cooler Jesus. (S)




11. Christine Delaroche – Le 4eme titre
Delaroche is a French actress. I've never seen any of her movies. I don't know if that's even possible. But I tell you one thing: this video of one her pop tunes, from 1967, is AMAZING. (K)




10. Freak Out Total Vol. 33 
I was drawn to this because of the the front cover, a kid being dragged away from the cops during some kind of presumably drug induced freek-out. The back cover is even more poetic. A man with a sombrero face down into a box of Molson ( I've been there, brother).  Mucho Gusto is a cool label.  They reissued The Hermans Rocket record that we played on Advanced Demonology Lesson 5.  This is a great comp of french and french speaking Canadian flower power swagger that only the Gauls could swing. Only available on vinyl , no digital, no CD. So snatch it up!   (S)




9. Dandy Warhols' new album
There was a time in the 90's when I suppose it was cool to hate the Dandies, since they were the go-to psyche band for frat boys or whatever. But now they're old and we're old, so let's just get on with the jams.They've got a new album. This Machine, out this week. Lead single, Well They're Gone, sounds like the Dead Brothers Funeral Orchestra, which is suitably kooky, but my fave so far is snotty sike-punker Enjoy Yourself. I did! (K)




8. The Stranglers: Nice & Sleazy at Bittersea 1978
I've been watching this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.  (S)




7. Simon Sisters – Red, Red Rose
If you've listened to the Advanced Demonology podcast, then you know I am a big fan of records made by the siblings of famous singers. Leah Kunkel (Mama Cass's sister), Kate Taylor (James' sis),  LaCosta Tucker (Tanya's), Priscilla Coolidge, etc. Love 'em all. And while I can't quite get behind Lucy (Carly's hotter sister) Simon's solo albums (they're seriously syrupy) I definitely dig the record she made with her sister, The Simon Sisters Sing For Children, back when they were a coupla folkies. Originally recorded in '69 but then embellished with a session band for more of a 70's stoner-vibe and re-released in '73, it's essentially acid-folk for kids. Cool and kinda awesomely creepy. (K)




6. Fastest: Theme
California is full of  devil worshipping creeps and weirdos?  Tobin Konrad the Yamaha wielding axe murderer that created this joyous horror show might be one of them. He pressed up a bunch of these CD-R's and left them on the doorstep of Aquarius Records. As far as I know the only place you can get it.   I've been trying to wrap my mind around this all week and it's really starting to get weird around the Mind Warp Pavilion. I think I might have let a poltergeist in by playing it too much.  Next level masterpiece? The keyboard noodelings of a madman? A C.I.A. plot to destroy the do-it-yourself musical revolution? YOU decide.  (S)




5. The Hammer Vault
Great coffee table-esque book that collects various Hammer Studios ephemera: script pages, props, film stills, unused posters, a blood n' boobs-drenched cornicopia of goodness from the sexiest horror film studio of all time, ever. (K)




4. Robert Frank: The Americans
The dope shooting photographer who gave us the Exile on Main Street cover and Cocksucker Blues was actually a fine arts beatnik photographer (I  didn't know that) and  this is the book that made him. With an intro by Jack Kerouac, it chronicles his  travels around the country clicking shots of everyday people like you and me and your grandma. Catching 'em in that right moment where you feel like you know that person without knowing them. That's what any great portrait artist has to do, don't they? This is a window into an America that the last traces of is literally about to disappear of the next five years or so.  (S)




3. Marsha Hunt
Meant to post this as a Hippie Death Goddess (of the Week) this week, but ran outta time. Marsha married the dude from Soft Machine, recorded with Marc Bolan, starred in the London production of Hair, played the Isle of Wight festival in '69 with her band White Trash, dated Mick Jagger and was the inspiration for “Brown Sugar”, recorded a disco album at Gorgio Moroder's Musicland studio in '77, etc. etc. What a career! And she rocked the afro/leather hotpants combo hotter than anybody. (K)




2. Sudden Death Compilation 1982
Long out of print. Dig around on the inter web you'll find it, too. Los Angeles creep punk mistakenly branded as "Hardcore",  Red Kross and JFA ( banging War cover) are maybe the biggest names on here.  The real reason to click "download" on this epic collection is  "Massacre Killer"  by Crankshaft……wow!!  (S)




1. Future Disco 5: Downtown Express 
Latest installment of this pretty amazing series of “Nu-disco” comps. Nu Disco bands, it turns out, pretty much sound like old disco bands, only with more squiggles and squelches. Two discs, one mixed for maximum buggin' out, the other they leave up to you. You should know that I am thinking about installing a a mirrorball in Advanced Demonology East. This shit is getting serious. (K)

Hippie Death Goddess (of the Day)

Jenny Rylance was a British model during the psychedelic era.


She caught the eye of one Steve Marriot, then a member of the Small Faces, who wrote Tin Soldier in an attempt to woo her. 


And it worked! Good job, Steve.
There's a lesson in there, somewhere.

Hippie Death Goddess (of the Day)

Dolly. No one can match her propensity for heart-rending misery. She is country's reigning queen of the damned. If Daddy Come Get Me and Jolene aren't Total Fucking Doom, then nothing is.

Hippie Death Goddess (of the Day)

Gunilla Thorn was/is a Swedish pop-singer who recorded a handful of brooding girl-group songs in London (with legendary genius/madman producer Joe Meek!) in the  60's.


So did many young ladies, of course, but none of them had jet back hair, an icy stare, and a name like Gunilla fuckin' Thorn. That name pretty much screams for an umlaut or two.


They didn't usually pose brandishing swords like a black metal moll, either.


Gunilla's recorded legacy is sparse, but well worth the hunt. Check out the great Bubblegum Soup blog for more info!

Hippie Death Goddess(es) of the Day

Joanna and Klara Soderberg are two teenage sisters from the burbs of Stockholm who craft swirly, woodsy folk-jams, dress up in hippie-chick rags and make Wicker Man-esque videos. It's acid folk without the acid, but twice the Swedish hippie chick.



They have a new album, Lion's Roar, out any day now. On vinyl! Sweet.


PS: If you have a little sister, she might also be into this band. They seem to have a pied piper effect on the kids. She could def do worse.

PPS:  the sisters are influenced primarily by Bright Eyes - which is still pretty good, for teenagers - but for street-cred sake, let's just say they are way into Susan Christie.

Hippie Death Goddess ( of the Day)






Dana Gillespie was gorgeous, hip, and had an incredible voice. She was a former teenage water skiing champ! She went out with Donovan. Starred in Hammer films. Had a song produced by Jimmy Page. Backed up Bowie during the "Honky" Dory period and recored the Hippie Death Goddess anthem "DEAD". She currently fronts a blues band on a Caribbean island. Some girls have all the fun.

Hippie Death Goddess (of the day)

Shimmering, ghostly Italian beauty Silvia Dionisio acted in a pile of 70's Italosploitation flicks, including Andy Warhol's Dracula, The Young, the Evil and the Savage, and Holiday Hookers. In 1975, she married Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust, House by the Edge of the Park), one of the most notorious filmmakers of the exploitation era. Sensing the 80's were not to her liking, she quit acting before they could get their dayglo grip on her. Silvia's last acting gig was a liquer ad directed by Fellini!
