Your DJ Speaks | ||||||
Ginny Arnell | Dumbhead | Meet Ginny Arnell | LP | "S&M Girl Singers: Ginny Arnell was a little more like Lesley Gore, but what an angle on the world; her most famous line is "I'm a Dumbhead, Dumbhead, Stupid Little Girl ... Won't somebody beat my head against the wall?" - Jello | 0:00:16 (Pop-up) | |
Ginny Arnell | I Wish I Had a Dress To Wear | Meet Ginny Arnell | LP | "Another low-self esteem "classic" is "I Wish I Knew What Dress to Wear" -- even though she knows nobody will dance with her at the prom." - Jello | 0:02:35 (Pop-up) | |
Dion McGregor | Val | The Dream World Of Dion McGregor (He Talks In His Sleep) | LP | "He was a talent agent from the '50's who had a habit of talking in his sleep. He recorded these loopy, what would have been called "acid-damaged" monologues if they hadn't happened a decade earlier. A longtime classic." - Jello | 0:05:12 (Pop-up) | |
48 Girls | Let's Get A Little Sentimental | Taking Off (Original Sound Track Album) | LP | Soundtracks: "Taking Off, a movie by Milos Forman, is a soundtrack album featuring songs written and performed by female teenage runaways." - Jello | 0:09:15 (Pop-up) | |
Carly Simon | Long Term Physical Effects | Taking Off (Original Sound Track Album) | LP | "It's much darker and rougher than most folk music of the time. It also contains an early Carly Simon track and a song by Buck Henry." - Jello | 0:11:41 (Pop-up) | |
Buck Henry | Stranger In Paradise | Taking Off (Original Sound Track Album) | LP | 0:13:48 (Pop-up) | ||
Teddy and Darrell | Wild Thing | These Are The Hits, You Silly Savage! | LP | Gay Records: "I like the all-gay male novelty version of songs like "WIld Thing" and "Strangers in the Night" on You Silly Savage by Teddy Darril..." - Jello | 0:14:42 (Pop-up) | |
Teddy and Darrell | Strangers in the Night | These Are The Hits, You Silly Savage! | LP | 0:16:43 (Pop-up) | ||
King's Road | Uncle John's Band | Watkins Glen | LP | (Featured album cover pg. 53) (Fake Woodstock cash-in on Pickwick Records) - Your DJ | 0:19:05 (Pop-up) | |
Glenn Meadmore | Lovin' In My Oven | Chicken and Biscuits | MP3 | "Glenn Meadmore's music is more cow-punk now, but check out his first LP, Chicken and Biscuits. It mixes hard-craking drum machine and loud violins. In a deliberately obnoxious voice that Peter Ivers would be proud of, he sings songs like "Lovin' In My Oven"... Jello | 0:23:07 (Pop-up) | |
Paul Vanase | Sissy | The World of Baby Bones | LP | "...An earlier example from '75, Paul Vanase's The World of Baby Bones, has songs like ..."Sissy" and "Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes." - Jello | 0:27:02 (Pop-up) | |
Paul Vanase | Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes | The World of Baby Bones | LP | "Paul has a giant Fu Manchu moustache that dips four inches below his chin, glued-on felt triangle eyebrows that arch over the top of his shaved head, and wears a silver lounge suit cut into Flintstone-points at the bottom." - Jello | 0:29:09 (Pop-up) | |
Jack Turner | Nightmare | 45 Single | 45 | Jack Turner: "Nightmare." "Aside from having the most psychedelic-sounding steel guitar of the '50's, it also has surreal Dali-esque Hitchcock dream vision lyrics - The Cramps should cover this one." - Jello | 0:32:01 (Pop-up) | |
Lofty's Zzebra | Original Afro-Fusion Music | LP | Black Psychedelia: "The cover of Lofty's Zzebra: Original Afro-Fusion Music shows Lofty wearing striped platform boots up to his knees, a chapaleta over one arm and loud polyester vest and marching pants, standing amidst some trees gesturing fairly angrily at the Gods. Musically, the opening track is bluegrass!" - Jello | 0:34:07 (Pop-up) | ||
Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Congregation | Give Me Another Joint | Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Congregation | MP3 | "...Another experimental black record out of Detroit is this one by Damn Sam the Miracle Man (a former nursing-home choir director from Selma, Alabama) and the Soul Congregation. It opens with "Give Me Another Joint," and has rather puzzling, elliptical liner notes." - Jello | 0:40:33 (Pop-up) | |
Fred Kuehn & Light | Great Lord Lucifer | Song of Gods Gone Mad | LP | Satanic Folk Music: "Fred Kuehn and Light recorded Song of Gods Gone Mad. You've heard of satanic heavy-metal, but how about this genre?" - Jello | 0:44:38 (Pop-up) | |
The New Life, Mike Curb | Psychedelic Rape | Sings The Sidehackers | LP | Pseudo-Psychedelic: "New Life Sings the Side-hackers (Ameret) blends rock, psychedelic plus a full orchestra. They had the nerve to title an eerie, long Hitchcock scare piece "Psychedelic Rape." - Jello | 0:47:54 (Pop-up) | |
Kings Road | Whipping Post | Watkins Glen | LP | "...After Woodstock, a Crown-type label releashed a fake Woodstock album, Watkins Glen, which covered songs like "Whipping Post" by the Allman Bros, "Up on Cripple Creek," and other pseudo-Nuggets complete with rock festival crowd noise dubbed in." - Jello | 0:52:16 (Pop-up) | |
Watkins Glen | Up on Cripple Creek | Watkins Glen | LP | 0:55:00 (Pop-up) | ||
Toby Rean & The Common People | Outa Space | Outa Space | LP | "Another all-time wonderful Crown atrocity is Outa Space! by Toby Rean & The Common People. The cover art is psychedelic but the record has nothing to do with psych or space." - Jello | 0:58:47 (Pop-up) | |
Toby Rean & The Common People | Request For Discharge | Outa Space | LP | "After butchering a Billy Preston hit (Outa Space), the band plays all country-western, ending with a hilarious weeper about a Vietnam Vet who returns home just as the baby he's never seen croaks from crib death!" - Jello | 1:02:03 (Pop-up) | |
Ricky Vale & His Surfers | Ghost Surfin' Parts 1 & 2 | Everybody's Surfin' | LP | "Strand Records, who put out a lot of ethnic material, released Ricky Vale & His Surfers. The cover, which shows three prepubescent kids, claims this is the band, but the LP sounds like space-psyche-jazz jams on surf tunes. It only has three songs per side, but each is double the length of most rock'n'roll instrumentals. Very ethereal and well done." - Jello | 1:08:11 (Pop-up) | |
The Psychedelic Seeds | Psychotic Reaction | The Electric Piano Playground | LP | "Bell Records: The Electric Piano Playground by The Psychedelic Seeds may have been intended for children: it's Ferrante and Teicher piano experiments put through various effects. " - Jello | 1:12:38 (Pop-up) | |
The Psychedelic Seeds | Tobacco Road | The Electric Piano Playground | LP | "They cover "Psychotic Reaction" and "Tobacco Road," among others." - Jello | 1:17:00 (Pop-up) | |
Hall & Reasons | Orbiting | Spaceship | LP | Outer Space: "Spaceship by Hall & Reasons, two dorky-looking guys in polyester '70's shirts, is a NASA tribute." - Jello | 1:20:43 (Pop-up) | |
Hall and Reasons | Spaceship | Spaceship | LP | "The music is fairly decent heavy-psych, but the packaging must be seen to be believed." - Jello | 1:23:18 (Pop-up) | |
Bull Durham | Happy SAC Warrior | Songs of the Strategic Air Command | LP | Military: "Bull Durham's Songs of the Strategic Air Command includes "Happy SAC Warrior," "Hang Down Your Boom, Ross Cooley," "Home on the Pad," and many more." - Jello | 1:25:55 (Pop-up) | |
Bill Durham | Hang Down Your Boom, Ross Cooly | Songs of the Strategic Air Command | LP | 1:28:41 (Pop-up) | ||
Bill Durham | Home On the Pad | Songs of the Strategic Air Command | LP | 1:32:43 (Pop-up) | ||
The Incredible Bongo Band | Bongo Rock | MP3 | "Exotica-Ploitation had not quite died in '73: The Incredible Bongo Band released "Bongo Rock," "Dueling Bongos," and "In-A-Gadda-Davida." - Jello | 1:38:03 (Pop-up) | ||
Incredible Bongo Band | Dueling Bongos | MP3 | 1:40:38 (Pop-up) | |||
The Incredible Bongo Band | In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida | MP3 | 1:43:38 (Pop-up) | |||
Perry Botkin, Jr. | Nadia's Theme (The Young And The Restless) | Nadia's Theme (The Young And The Restless) | MP3 | "The man behind this was Perry Botkin, Jr. who plagued us with "Nadia's Theme" later on ..." - Jello | 1:51:26 (Pop-up) | |
Damon | The Road of Life | Song of a Gypsy | "An example of exotica-folk-rock is Song of a Gypsy, released by a gypsy singer, Damon. For blending atmospheres, this is an all-time great!" - Jello | 1:54:13 (Pop-up) | ||
Bobby Brown | Tiny Wind Of Shanol | Enlightening Beam of Axonda | "...In Southern California in the late '70s, Bobby Brown, a blonde guy who build all his own instruments, put out at least three albums which revived the '50's exotica feeling." - Jello | 1:56:47 (Pop-up) |
