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. Sacred Alien 
I've been on an NWOBHM tear lately. The best NWOBHM is the most obscure NWOBHM. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. I used to see ads for Sacred Alien gigs in Kerrang! back in the early 80's. Sacred Alien? Sacred Alien?!  I think they used to wear make-up, like KISS. I didn't figure I'd ever actually hear them. You didn't get to hear everything in the world back then. Now you do. And what do you know? Sacred Alien are...well, a mess, but a fun one. Far as I know, they only ever released this single. (K)

12. Wicked Lady - The Axeman Cometh
The combination of Whiskey and LSD can only be the explanation for the stone grooves that emanate. Culled from demos and what not's from 1968 to 1972. British? I didn't bother to check but I'm taking a wild guess. It's Like a back woods black mass for lorry-drivers. (S)

11. Blank City
Swilson and I both wanted to be brooding NYC underground filmmaker Nick Zedd when we grew up. But who did Nick Zedd want to be? This excellent documentary traces the history of the "transgressive" super 8 film movement in NY to it's post-Waters 70's roots. It's filled with lots of vintage footage of Steve Buscemi and Vince Gallo and Debbie Harry acting in bullshit death hipster home movies in their early daze and interviews with all the heavy hitters. Really makes me want to make a Super 8 movie! (K)

10. Workin' Man Noise Unit
Speaking of lorry-drivers, run don't walk over to band camp and fork over your two pounds for these two releases. The most recent, Serious Power Hour and the almost just as recent, Drinkin' Stella to Make Music To Drink Stella to.  It's blasting no holds bar weirdo rock. A friday night of doom, gloom, noise, fun, sun,  dope, tits, ass, beer, hash, glam, guns, fucking in the streets and than back to work on monday morning. (S)



9. Huntress
I am sorry for this week's Top 13 being so metallic, but I've been writing a lot for Metal Hammer lately, so what the fuck, it rubs off. Anyway, heavy metal is at its best when it's at its most ridiculous, and Huntress is awesomely ridiculous. Thrashy power metal fronted by a woman in a barely-there superhero outfit? YES PLEASE. (K)

8. Neil Young & Crazy Horse Live At The Hollywood Bowl
Ok so it's not all obscurity here on Advanced Demonology. I love Neil Young and I wanted to go see him play with Crazy Horse and I wanted to go to the famous Hollywood Bowl. Neil was great. For a guy his age he's still got it in the voice and his guitar playing is amazingly psychedelic and searing. The band was full of energy and would blow away most bands half their age. The set was dominated by the newer stuff off of his upcoming Psychedelic Pill record. It's not all that inspiring and he's starting to rip himself off, maybe. So the songwriting is slipping a little. As for the Hollywood Bowl, nice place but made for classical music not rock and roll. It's too constraining with the orchestra seat set up, and it's tough to boogie down. Not that this audience wanted to boogie down, or get up on the good foot, or even bop till you drop. They seemed kinda pissed to be there? I don't go to many "arena" shows and this is going to be the last one for a long time. Nothing makes you feel more insignificant and part of the heard. Maybe that's good for the baby boomers but not for us Loner Rockers. (S)

7. French Accordion Music
The other day I picked up an album called Bal Musette by Andre Beauvois, His Accordion, and His Orchestra. It's got a couple dancing in a cafe on the cover. The guy's wearing a beret. The record cost me one dollar. I thought to myself, there is no way this record actually sounds like it does in my head. Then I brought it home, and it turns out it sounds EXACTLY like that. And now it is my favorite record of all time, and French Accordion Cafe Easy Listening (whatever you call it) is now, officially, where it's at. Break out the croissants and fromage,  c'est une bonne soirée! (K)

6. Dave Tarras - Yiddish-American Klezmer Music 1925-1956
This music speaks for itself and if you need an entry point into the ecstatic world of Klezmer than start with Dave Tarras. (S)

5. The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema
This week's Advanced Demonology book club selection is Nikolas Schreck's exhaustive and authoritative guide to diabolical cinema. Packed with groovy photos, this unholy tome pretty much features every significant appearance of the devil in film up until it was published in 2001. Like many of Creation's books, it gets fairly academic in places, but what the fuck, where else are you going to find a whole chapter on Satanic silent movies from 1913-1929? Awesome stuff. As far as I know, it's out of print, but copies can be had on Amazon for about $25 and there's PDF's around. (K)

4. Halloweencollector.com
Mark B. Ledenbach is a serious Halloween collector. He runs a blog dedicated to help people find strange and exciting Halloween decorations from the past. His focus is mainly on the 1920's when Halloween wasn't a children's holiday it was for adults. So the decor form that time is particularly scary.  With it's dazzling gallery of pictures and it's informed histories I highly recommend browsing around this site even if you don't plan on buying anything. Scary eye popping stuff (S)

3. The 924 Gilman Street Project
Hardcore punk was the last non-commercial musical movement. Most of it was just a buzzy headache, but some of it was amazing (Misfits, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, DRI, DKs, GBH, Verbal Abuse, Discharge, Minor Threat, etc etc), and more importantly, it gave a whole lot of misfits and freaks something to believe in. the Maximum Rock n' Roll affiliated all-ages punk club Gilman Street is one of the longest-running, all-volunteer punk venues in operation, and if the spirit of hardcore punk is still alive, you can find it in there. This low-watt, high-energy doc is available from Jello Biafra's label. It's fun and informative and a lot easier than actually going to the club and getting kicked in the head by a 14 year old. (K)

2. Timmy's Organism
My hip next door neighbor hipped me to this beautiful strangeness. Timmy Vulgar fronted some other weird rock bands and apparently is a well known artist. I don't know anything about that but Rise Of The Green Gorilla rules. (S)

1. Salem's Pot - Sweeden
This is a great way to spend the next 35 minutes. Just lay down on the floor and crank this until your mind snaps. (K)

13. Bucharest Metro Digital Library
Deep in the bowels of the Bucharest subway, there's a mammoth free digital library! Basically it's a giant mural on the walls at a metro stop. All the books and CDs pictured on the mural contain QR codes. Scan 'em and voila, instant culture. Amazing idea, we should have them here, everywhere! (K)

12. 1-800-Band
If you like exuberant three chord blasts, covered in sweat and sugar, all the way from Brooklyn music city, and who doesn’t, just dial 1-800-BAND.  Don’t really try to dial the number you’ll end up getting a credit card company. This is like if the Warriors were a rock band instead of a gang, and let me tell ya, they are having more fucking fun than you are right now, I’m sure of it. Check ‘em out live on WFMU. (S)




11. Expo '70
Justin Wright is the man/machine behind LA psyche-drone drug-bubble Expo 70. He creates towering monoliths of hazer stoner distress signals and rolling waves of hallucinogenic cough-syrup jams. He's got a new record out, it's called Beguiled Entropy (what?), and it sounds like all the dark secrets hidden inside all those really rough 70's detective magazines. Remember all those ads where you knew they were selling something fucking crazy, but you couldn't figure out what it was? It was this. (K)




10. Message From Space 
Keep in mind when your watching “The Japanese Star Wars” , that  United Artists spent millions of dollars to buy the film and release it here in the States.  Because Star Wars was so successful, how could they lose? (S)





09. Clothilde at Les Charlots
Incredible French TV special from 1967 featuring mysterious ye ye girl Clothilde, who released two amazing Eps when she was 19 and then vanished. Belying her dramatic tunes, this goofy TV show finds her in barrettes and a loud orange jumpsuit (!) lip-synching into the camera with a blank-eyed stare. This is alternated with the Les Charlots running around dressed up as schoolboys and whatnots. What does any of it mean? Who knows, but it sure is fun to watch! (K)






08. Los News
This is what scantly clad sorority girls at slumber parties listen to before they get killed by axe wielding maniacs, who won’t stop calling and breathing heavy into the phone. As far I can tell Los News are from Spain, and they should have called the band Corinthian Leather.  I don’t know if you want to drop 10 euros to find out why. If you drive a ’73 Dodge Charger you might want to consider it. (S)

07. Evil Head
A few years back, punk-porn princess Joanna Angel starred in a pretty amazing/ridiculous/kinda disgusting XXX Reanimator parody, Repenetrator. Well, just in time for Halloween, here's a new horror-sex hybrid from Joanna. Evil Head, as you might guess, is a sex-saturated satire of Evil Dead (or maybe Evil Dead 2? I get them confused), and from the trailer, it looks as nutty as you think it would. Boners will be popped, blood will be shed. (K)

Evil Head, Parody of Evil Dead from BurningAngel Entertainment from Joanna Angel on Vimeo.



06. Paths Of Glory
Look I’m sorry to recommend something like a Stanley Kubrick movie on the Top 13, I know we mostly dedicate our time to finding less obvious diamonds in the rough, but I never saw this flick and it’s great. So in case you never saw it, it’s streaming on Netflix right now. Spoiler Alert: There were no happy endings in World War One, millions of people died and it just lead to World War Two, only thirteen years later. (S)






05. Kings of Glam
Awesome BBC doc on the glory daze of 70's glitter rock. Lotsa vintage footage and new interviews with Suzi, Noddy, Jayne County, Rolan Bolan (!) and more. Great stuff, and the whole doc is on Youtube. Let's bend some genders! (K)






04. Grand Trine
A mix of proto-punk sleaze rock madness and free jazz, what’s not to like? The song titles read like an Advanced Demonology shopping list: I am magnet, catatonic state, love & napalm, prescription drugs, and Nazi gold. (S)

03. Electric Eel Shock  - Rock ‘N Roll Can Rescue The World
I watched the debates the other night, got depressed so I needed something to cheer me up. (S)

02. Eddie Harris – It's All Right Now
Went to the record store today and was lucky enough to score Eddie Harris's seminal '76 psychedelic-soul-funk-jazz classic This is Why You're Overweight for the less-than-princely sum of $2.99. Killer. This is one of the album's many sweet jams. When I listen to this, I really do feel like it's all right now. (K)




1. Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic By John “Drmbo” French
Captain Beefheart is a musical genius, but the guy who made it all happen was drummer John French. He wrote down what the Captain played on piano (mostly) and transcribed it for guitars and taught it to the band.  This is the craziest account ever of playing in a Rock ‘n Roll band. I’m not talking Def Leopard, with girls and drugs (well some drugs) crazy.  I’m talking Jim Jones and The people’s Temple crazy; I’m talking David Koresh crazy. It’s a miracle the story doesn’t end with mass suicide or the whole band going up in flames.  Captain Beefheart ran his band like a cult and John “Drumbo” French has the emotional scares to prove it. It’s done in a oral history style with French Interviewing most of the key players. Warning: this thing is a tome. Set aside at least a month to get through it. It's Everything you wanted to know about Captain Beefheart but were afraid to ask. (S)

13. Marianne Faithfull: Dreaming My Dreams
Although I can't really deal with Marianne's later-career goth cabaret stuff, 60's MF was pearl: the doe-eyes, the mopey gloom-pop, the heroin, the black leather, all of it. This engaging doc from '99 - available streaming at Netflix- has lots of stories and vintage clips from her teenage smack goddess days. It's pretty stellar stuff. Plus, there's a clip at the very beginning where a 17 year old Marianne utters a line I am now adopting as my life philosophy: “No matter what they say about me, no matter what they do to me, my head is cool.” Awesome. (K)

12. Herve Attia’s Youtube channel
Herve goes around the world with a video camera, visiting the locations of famous movies like the Exorcist, A Clockwork Orange, Rambo, Goonies, The Good The Bad And the Ugly.  He than meticulously edits his camcorder footage with the corresponding scenes. The list of films is pretty long and the result extremely entertaining and informative. Great job Herve! (S)

 

11. Scorpion Child
Texan freak warriors channeling proto-metal godz from Zior to Pentagram. Best of all, their vocalist – almost always the weak point in dope-rock bands – is amazing! If I could pull off a denim vest at this point in my life, you better believe I'd be stitching a Scorpion Child backpatch onto it. If those exist. They must. Scorpion Child, please make some backpatches already, your legion is waiting. (K)

10. The Family by Ed Sanders
Ed was the main man behind the primordial punk band the Fugs. He wrote this book about the Manson gang in 1971 just one year after the trial. It’s mostly about the culture that surrounded The Family and Sanders follows every tripped out rumor he hears from every spaced out creep he meets on the street. The result is not all that factual, but man is it fun! It reads like a underground comic with Charlie making snuff films and conjuring up the devil. Monster Magnet could have written a rock opera based on this book. Try to get an early printing because our friends at the Process Church Of Final Judgment sued the publishers for defamation because of a chapter linking them to Manson. They won. (S)

9. Yoga
Who is Yoga? Where are they from? What the fuck do they want? I have no answers. All I know is this: this might be the ultimate couch-of-woe band. Like if you took every downer/bad-trip drug at once and washed it all down with a vodka from a plastic bottle mixed with Nyquil and then you spent all weekend watching Nick Zedd and Richard Kern super 8 movies on an endless loop, this is what the inside of your head would sound like. They have a new record, Skinwalker. You might want it. Then again, you might want to stay as far away from it as possible. Your call. (K)

8. Alex Harvey presents the Loch Ness Monster
Apparently Harvey took a break from his sensational band to make this spoken word album about the Loch Ness Monster. Wow! Alex Harvey is like an onion, man…. layers and layers.   Do you guys believe in the Loch Ness Monster? (S)




7. Computer from 1784
In the 1780's, a German engineer invented what almost has to be the first working computer. It was used to compute the volume of trees. You can't check Facebook on it or anything, but holy smokes, look at that thing! You can read all about it HERE. (K)

6. Boones Farm Commercials
Everybody knows fastest way to headache land and rainbow throw up time. I just wanted to see if they made commercials for it. They did! Don’t join the apple core kids. (S)

 



5. 4D  Space-Time Crystals
I've been reading up on these all week, and I still don't get what they are, but I think the important thing here is that “4D Space-time crystals exist, and we can use them to, among other things, create a clock that will keep time even after the universe dies. I don't know why we would need that, but perhaps it would come in handy at some point. Science is nuts. (K)



 4. Anawa – Anawa (1972)
Awesome Polish pop prog, if there is such a thing! Lead by Polish singer, saxophonist, actor, cabaret artist, and trained typesetter: Andrzej Zaucha. In the late 80’s he became a huge pop star in Poland until French film director Yves Goulais shot him dead after a performance in the parking lot of the concert hall along with actress Susan Lesniak with whom Zaucha was having an affair. He got shot nine times. (S)


)

3. Porno Star
Tina Russell is a long-forgotten porn-princess from the early 70's “golden age” of the adult film industry. Back then, most of it was being produced in New York and backed by mobsters. If you've read Linda Lovelace's book, you get the idea that it was all harrowing exploitation and rape, but Russell's memoirs are a lot more gentle, and you get the feeling she really enjoyed her sizable ('70-'75) stint as a skin queen. Still, she didn't exactly escape intact. Russell developed a drinking problem during her porn days and died of liver failure in 1981.  

PS I don't know how many of her movies even exist at this point, but a lot of 'em sound amazing: “Joe Rock Superstar”! “The Erotic Adventures of a Male Chauvinist Pig”! “All in the Sex Family”!! (K)

2. Andy Pratt – Records are like Life (1969)
Yes they are Andy. Yes they are……….(S)

 1. Butter
Great little indie-com about competitive butter sculpting in Iowa. I've been to Iowa, and I can attest that Iowa is the kind of place that would have butter sculpting contests. Olivia Wilde is AMAZING as a down-on-her-luck punk stripper who wheels around town on a BMX bike. (K)

13. I Miss Drugs

Not me personally, but lots of people do. This very funny new web series very accurately portrays what happens to former with-it types (like me and Swilson) once we approach middle-age. Hint: Ikea and Hulu Plus is involved. Sad but true. (K)

I Miss Drugs-Episode 1-"Almost There" from I MISS DRUGS on Vimeo.


12. Space Shuttle Endeavor Over the Mind-Warp Pavilion
The now retired spacecraft got a piggy back ride from a 747 this morning and flew all around the Los Angels area. Lady Swilson and I Watched it from Billion Dollar Beach across the street from the the Mind-Warp.  What a sight! (S)






11. Strange Forces
German headphone melters Strange Forces have a new album out, "I'd Rather Listen to the Bloody Birds". It's a swirling kaleidoscope of reverb-drenched space-case guitars and meandering doper grooves. The psychedelia is so dense you can get lost in it. In Venus, the sky is made of acid. This is probably what it sounds like when you parachute into the Venusian atmosphere. (K)





10. Wapassou - Wapassou (1974)
An extremely obscure group from france. They make stoned, sexy, psychedelic groove music. Perfect for skinny dipping in ice cold waterfalls and smoking hashish if your into that sort of thing. Kinda like a much header version of the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack. (S)






09. Warp Drive is Possible! 
NASA is pretty sure that with a little tinkering, we can just bend space around a little and achieve interstellar space travel. Seeing as we're discovering potential new habitable zones in far-off galaxies at a pretty regular clip these days, it's nice to know we might have a way to visit. There's a good chance it'll take 100 years or so to pull it off, so I would suggest you eat a lot of kale and stay hydrated, so you'll be around when it happens. (K)





08. Mule: Summer 1994
Man does this make me nostalgic. In the summer of 1994, many a drunken evening on the back porch of a Jersey shore house was spent with If I Don't Six on the box. Conjuring up memories of  eating shorties from Wawa and washing them down with Natty Ice . They are a largely forgotten phenomenon now,  a completely original cocktail of blues, punk and redneck swagger. P.W. Long had an amazing self taught guitar style and the rhythm section was as bombastic as it gets. They moved from Detroit to Philly, a move that seemed to make sense at the time, than P.W. struck out on his own and now I think he writes restaurant reviews. (S)






07. Who Killed Captain Alex? 
Isaac Nabwana is Uganda's first (and only) action film director. His entire production company is a volunteer, guerrilla army of stuntmen, actors, and explosive "experts", and from the completely fucked-up trailer for his epic, "Who Killed Captain Alex", we just might have a major new...well, I don't know if talent is the right word, but phenomenon definitely works. There's also a kickstarter campaign going to shoot a documentary on Nabwana, which I think needs to happen. (K)





06. The London Cowboys
After the break of  the Idols ( which include Jerry Nolan and Walter Lure) Barry Jones and Steve Dior formed the London Cowboys. They were the nucleus with which a revolving cast of punk rock luminaries played, including: Nolan, Glen Matlock, Tony James (Generation X), Pete Farndon (Pretenders), Terry Chimes (The Clash, Generation X) and sometimes Monroe from Hanoi Rocks. This is sleazy glam in all the right places. Somehow I missed 'em but I guess they were big in the U.K. (S)





05. Krofft Supershow
Mid 70's Saturday morning insanity. A variety show from some dark psychedelic cartoon hell, served up weekly during bouts of sugar-cereal overdosing. This show fried my mind but good. I'm still not over it. Now some maniac has posted 'em up on Youtube to infect a whole new generation with it's drug-soaked zaniness. (K)






04. Jim Ford by way of Sly Stone blitzed on Dick Cavett 
This footage  has been kicking around for some time and it's not really funny to see Sly all fucked up (looking sharp I might ad)  but I just realized he name checks the great Jim Ford! Too bad this is Jim's fifteen minutes of fame right here. (S)






03. Black Devil Disco Club
The deepest darkest disco ever made and i'd like to thank Seth, the drummer in Swilson for this most crucial Advanced Demonological find. Bernard Fevre a french musician who released synth library music under the name Milpatte, recored and released an Ep of satanic disco in 1978 to relative obscurity. Of course in recent years it has resurfaced at the hands of some DJ's and has been hailed as the classic it really is. Fevre has started recording and releasing under the Black Devil moniker again and it's all pretty good. Outsider, satanic, loner disco! (S)





02. The Doors of Perception: Weird Funk, Psychedelic Soul, and Acid Jazz from New York City (1970-1974)
The title says it all, really. My new fave comp of all time. You can't get more far out than this, man. This shit is ALL THE WAY GONE. (K)





01. The Fall - Ersatz GB (2011)
I'm a huge Fall fan but I go in and out of consciousness with them, it's hard to keep track in this fast moving world. Every now and again I wake up and say : "wonder if there is a new Fall record?"…well I did that this morning and came across one from 2011…is there a newer one? It's great! I thought Your Future Our Clutter was great so hopefully he's on a roll. (S)

13. Swilson: Witchtrial Modern Day

The music video for a track off our up coming smash-flop Ep: Cool Skull. Loser-wave at it's finest. Turn it into a virus. (S)

12. Royal Thunder

Southern-fried psychedelic doom-prog with a Janis-y banshee up front. What's not to love? (K)

11. Gift - Gift (1972)

Got turned onto this demonological mind melt from my man Spencer Jacob (Occult Wisdom). Far out!  They are supposed to be a German legend whatever that means. All I know is this stuff Burns! (S)

10. Exorcism Monthly

Demonic possession is running rampant in Poland (well, delusional thinking is, at least), and 'exorcist' is a hot occupation over there. Currently there's over a hundred shysters - I mean exorcists - in operation in Poland right now. With no sign of this epidemic slowing down, there's only one thing to do: start a magazine devoted to demonic possession and exorcism. Holy smokes, do I wish I spoke Polish, because I would subscribe to that rag forever. (K)

09. Howard Nishioka - Street Songs (1979)

When I retire from loner rock I want to make a record like this. Meandering (and I mean that in the best possible way) tropical guitar playing from Hawaii. I got hipped to this by the  always amazing Ghost Capitol blog. (S)

08. Coming someday: Looking for Johnny: The Legend of Johnny Thunders

It kinda bummed me out that Born to Lose ended up being the definitive JT film, because it's really depressing and actually makes you question why you were so into the guy in the first place. I mean, he was kinda despicable in a lot of ways, and a good portion of his musical output was tepid at best. But here's the thing: despite being a doped-up asshole 95% of the time, 5% of the time he was the COOLEST ROCKER THAT EVER LIVED. And nobody disputes that, ever. This doc looks like it spends more time celebrating that 5%. (K)

07. Fainting Goats

 The new sensation that is sweeping the nation? The pet that every body wants ?  The unlikely superstars of Youtube: Fainting Goats!  What kinda wild evolutionary trick is this? Supposedly possums do the same thing but a possum looks like a giant rat so it's not a cute. (S)

06. Allah-las

I almost forgot how much I like skronking garage rock. These west-coast dandies do the retro-60's thang with serious finesse. (K)

05. Sameti - Sameti (1972)

Everyone knows Germans really made the craziest rock everback in the 70's and here is some more of it. A wigged out masterpiece from some ex-members of Amon Duul. (S)

04. $9Cardboard Bike

I used to ride a bike all the time, but then they started getting stolen. I lost three fuckin' bikes, snatched right from the pole in front of my house. I bought the biggest goddamn chain at the hardware store for the last one. Didn't matter. So I started walking instead. Now there might be a solution to my problem: this guy has figured out how to make a working bicycle out of cardboard for $9.00. You steal it, no prob, I'll make another one. This could work. (K)

03. The Great Happiness Space

Japanese host boys are men who are paid to entertain woman in very expensive nightclubs. The woman pay for a good time,to be told wonderful things about themselves, to be made to laugh and sometimes to have sex with these dream boats. But all is not what it seems as we delve into the sociopathic mentality of the host's and the psychopathic desires of the clients.  By the end of this thing Japan will have blown your mind yet again.(S)

02. Naam - Starchild

They have pyramid shaped amps and they sleep with eagles! Let's do this,. (K)

01. Humble Pie - As Safe As Yesterday Is (1969)

In  the November 1970 issue of Rolling Stone ( Meher Baba on the cover) journalist Mike Sanders, in a review of this record wrote: "Here Humble Pie were a noisy, unmelodic, heavy metal-leaden shit-rock band, with loud and noisy parts beyond doubt". Wow! Heavy Metal and Shit-Rock were born out of one review. Now I myself specialize in shit-rock and sometimes lean to Heavy Metal and I can safely say, As Safe As Yesterday is, Is neither. Instead it's a really fantastic, heavy, psychedelic blues gospel freak out that is sadly over looked today.(S)

13. Sure Fire

In 1990 Jon Jost released this slow burn of a little movie starring america's most underrated actor (maybe not rated at all) Tom Blair. It's a film about self absorbed myopia, real estate scams, fatherhood, narcissism, and alienation all set in beautiful Utah. Slow burning art film drama at it's best. (S)

12. Noise Arch Blog

This blog obsessively collects weird/noise/experimental cassettes from the 80's. Back then, cassettes were the weapon of choice for out-there sonic explorers. Anchored by the long-lost magazine Sound Choice, "Cassette culture" spawned the first bedroom composers. Most of 'em were staunchly underground and offered no commercial potential. Imagine, no Pro-tools, no garage band, just sweat and noise and cassettes. Ear battering fun for everyone! (K)

11. Gamma - Gamma 1 (1979)

By 1977 the band Montrose had run it's course. Ronnie put out a pretty good solo record called Open Fire in 1978. in 1979 he formed Gamma. It's more of an 80's AOR type band with lot's of keyboards, kind of like if Night Ranger ( another bay area band, with whom Gamma's keyboard player, Alan Fitzgerald would later join) was actually listenable.  Even though the keys dilute, it still has Ronnie's signature "bring the fire" guitar playing. This is as about as far into this stuff as I can handle. (S)

10. Sonic Jesus

Italian psych freakout kings get real, real gone on the tripped-out track complete with 80's public access video collage visuals to keep things woozy. I dig these dudes, they're underground in a world where nothing really is anymore. Debut album coming soon. It's gonna be a monster! (K)

9. Sapphire Thinkers - From Within (1969)

Sunshine pop backed by a biker band like Steppenwolf or Black Pearl?  Sounds like it. This is a widely circulated gem on the inter-web pick it up at your local psych-blog. All anybody knows is that they are maybe from California. (S)

8. Warm Speakers 

As we've mentioned on the show more than once, Swilson and I are up for anything "wave". Same thing for "fi". Warm Speakers, from NYC, are practitioners of "Glo-fi". What the is that? From what I can tell, it's psyche-y shoegaze-y Nyquil jams for neon maniacs. And I dig it. Glow on! (K)

7. Jack Wrangler : Anatomy of an Icon

This documentary, put out by  tla releasing, a former video store that yours truly worked at for a few years in Philadelphia, is really hilarious.  It chronicles his life from gay porn Icon, to straight porn Icon (!), to his  success in "legitimate" theater. Also he married songbird Margaret Whiting who was twenty years his senior and he was gay! A Totally interesting and charming character, well worth the watch. (S)

6. Creepy Calvin Klein ads from the 90's

They based these on, what? Porn auditions? White slavery auctions? Apparently these ran, briefly, on TV in the 90's. They'll make you feel real dirty.  (K)

5. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - 12 Bar Bruise (2012)

The record is out today! It's got everything you'd expect from these Aussie freak flaggers. Lot's oh drivin' drums and oohs and aaahs and oh no's in all the party places, distorted vocals, non-distorted vocals, twanging, banging, droning guitars like surfing' bird and cut your hair mashed up by….well…. Australians, drunk Australians, if you know what i'm talkin' about. You hear me talkin'?  Get it! (S)

4. The Strange Sound Phenomenon

All over the world, people are experiencing weird, disturbing sounds. Basically, they sound like the Earth itself, groaning in pain. That's probably what it is. Why not? (K)

3. All Saved Freak Band - For Christians, Elves and Lovers (1976)

Maybe the most exciting Jesus Rock band of all time. Born out of an ohio commune with a history that crosses paths with heavy hitting rock bands like James Gang and It's A Beautiful Day, the culturally significant milestones of Kent State, kidnapping, brainwashing, deprograming, industrial accidents and the loss limbs. The All Saved Freak Band breaks most musical boundaries in it's attempt to save the souls of the Rock 'N Roll generation, whirling psychedelic ballroom blitz, beautiful chamber folk, down and dirty beard boogie, all praise to the most high. I could only get my sinful digital hands on For Christens, Elves and Lovers a record that owes as much to the Lord Of The Rings as it does the bible. (S)

2. Get Well Soon - Roland , I Feel You

Wow. I will tell you from the onset that I am thoroughly confused by what's going on, but I'm into it, nonetheless. Get Well Soon is a one-man band(?) who composes soundtrack music for crazy, hallucinogenic movies that don't exist. Except, well, since there's a video for Roland, I Feel You, they sorta do. It's from Get Well Soon's upcoming Giallo-inspired album, The Scarlet Beast O'Seven Heads. Confusing, but awesome. (K)

1. Liespotting: Proven Techniques To Detect Deception by Pamela Mayer

Deception and lies are a part of life. We all lie all day about all kinds of things. "yeah I like your new shirt", "it's really no problem", "i'll be back in ten minutes". Lies help smooth things over and keep society moving. We are hard wired to deceive. Babies learn to fake a cry to get attention, birds, fish and plants use all kinds of trickery in mating selection and food acquisition. Those are "white lies" but when people lie about the big stuff, in business dealings and relationships. That's where it hurts.  Since most people are statistically more likely to lie at work, this book by former entertainment executive Pamela Meyer is geared up to help make the difficult  decision of weather or not to trust someone in the work place easier.  Mostly it's an amazing book about the nature of human communication. How words only make up a small percentage of actual communication. How to read body language, eye movement and even smells when dealing with someone else. Since I live in Los Angeles where lies grown on palm trees and deception is in the water I thought It might come in handy (S)
