SOMETHING WEIRD - Storybook Sessions Vol. 2 - Freddytrippin'

SOMETHING WEIRD - Storybook Sessions Vol. 2 - Freddytrippin' (2014)



Okay, prepare yourselves, because this is CRAZY! Something Weird has once again created a "psychedelic reworking" of an audio book, but this time, instead of going the kiddie record route, he opted for a darker approach, choosing to add his unique brand of low-fi sonic wizardry to the cassette tape retelling of the 1989 horror sequel, A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child!

Follow Alice, who had previously vanquished the dream-stalking, child-murdering maniac a year before, as she graduates from high school and is ready to move on with her life and blossom into as well-adjusted an adult as she possibly can be, considering her haunted, blood-stained past. But, of course, Freddy Kruger slithers his way back into her reality, using the dreams of her unborn baby to gain the power to slaughter all of those around her. Will she save her friends, her baby, and her sanity?

Once again, this is no ordinary audio book. This is tweaked and remixed to the Nth hoop and back, and will make your brain gasp for air. I guess these are meant to be listened to while under the influence of mind-altering substances, but people, I gotta tell you, I'd be afraid I would never come back after listening to these. Use your own discretion! ;-)

SOMETHING WEIRD - Storybook Sessions Vol. 1 - Annietrippin'

SOMETHING WEIRD - Storybook Sessions Vol. 1 - Annietrippin' (2012)



And now for something completely different:

Whoa. This is one of the most mind-melting things I have ever heard. Not exactly techno, this is "a psychedelic reworking of the 1982 children's record, 'Feeling Good With Annie'". There is a story to be found among the swirling, echoing cacophony of strangeness.

Whether you are familiar with the story of Little Orphan Annie or not, trying to follow along with the plot of the story is a fun part of the fractured, trippy-as-balls brain-scramble that is this album. But let me help you out a bit: Annie is no longer an orphan, and has been adopted by Oliver Warbucks, the richest man in the world. One day, as she is walking on perpetual sunshine, she walks into the foyer of the Warbucks mansion to see that a "travelling fitness salesman", who is peddling his services door to door, has been let inside by an unnecessarily irate Warbucks. The fitness salesman soon has the entire gang doing calisthenics in the park, along with a group of public park-goers who have been rounded up against their wills to join in the jazzercize action, jamming along to (thanks to Something Weird, now blisteringly scrambled) instrumental renditions of songs from the hit musical!

Something Weird is David Totty, who hails from Colorado, USA (and is a fellow GusGus fan, apparently, there is an EP of remixes of GusGus' 'Airwaves' track on his Bandcamp page!!).

If you like this album, be sure to check out Volume 2, which is equally as (if not more) strange, and deals with one of everyone's favorite movie madmen: Freddy Krueger!

Not really a single, but two of my favorite tracks by this NYC band that is in the process of becoming extremely famous as I type this description! Imagine the Manson family on peyote. Amazing live shows, they just played at the SXSW Film Festival!

Telepathe is Melissa Livaudais, Busy Gangnes, Ryan Lucero & Lane Lacolla.

MORT GARSON - "The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds"

MORT GARSON - "The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds" (1967)



Here is another Mort Garson masterpiece! I honestly don't remember where I got this one, because I deleted my history bar and had only visited the blog once. So if you think this came from your blog, then let me know. If I see the blog I will remember if that's where I got it, then I will give you credit and link your page here in the post. I know I didn't get this from Egg City Radio, because this is one of the few albums of Mort Garson's they don't have.

This chill-inducing album includes spoken word horoscope forecasts for each sign of the zodiac, accompanied by Mort Garson's signature brand of awe-inspiring psychedelic moog orchestrations. I highly recommend this album, as well as "Wozard of Iz".

MORT GARSON / JACQUES WILSON - "The Wozard Of Iz"

MORT GARSON / JACQUES WILSON - "The Wozard Of Iz" (1968)



This album is one of the main reasons I started this blog in the first place. I would have posted it sooner, but I thought I would build up my page a bit before I did, because I'm afraid that anything I post after this might pale in comparison...


I picked this up from Vinnie Rattolle's Records. I think that if I tried to explain this album myself, I would'nt do it justice. So here's a review I found online (From MarkAllenCam.com):

Mort Garson was a hippie-ish electronic music scientist and guru, who specialized in the more extreme possibilities of the moog. One of his most ambitious projects was a single spoken word LP for each sign of the zodiac, set to an electronic score. He also recorded the moog album "Electronic Hair Pieces" - that one with the great cover. "The Wozard of Iz" was one of his later recordings, and was a collaboration with Jacques Wilson (who apparently wrote and conceived the project). The musical, which might have been intended to go beyond just a recorded album, is a psycho-electronic re-working of "The Wizard of Oz" that sounds like the soundtrack to the greatest LSD/freak-out/moog/synth/electronic musical that never was. This oddity is a hysterical and typical leftist/hippie commentary on the socioeconomic human condition of the average American in 1968, and uses the analogy of Dorothy taking a "trip" from Kansas for a brighter and better world where one can really be "free."
The record begins over a kooky electronic score, while a male voice (with a deep Brooklyn accent) intones:
"This is the story of why Dorothy began her search for the Wonderful Wozard of Iz! Or somewhere... over... what rainbow? Our Dorothy... locked into one suburban acre of negative vibrations... boxed in with a pair of authority symbols; a hypnotized aunt, and a mesmerized uncle, who had turned life off... and turned the television set... on... and on ...AND ON!!!"
Then the music builds and builds as another voice commands Dorothy:
"Congratulations Dorothy, you're about to join the ranks of other famous teenage drop-outs... like Shirley Temple, Candy, and Tallulah Bankhead!"
To which a synthesized male voice in the background repeats over and over:
"Leave the driving to us! Leave the driving to ussssss!"
...to which the voice of Dorothy makes it's first appearance and sexily coos:
"I'm out of the coffin... I'm out of the box... Kansas City isn't where it's at... it's a place where people throw rocks at dreams, and the dreams shouldn't be stoned... only the dreamer. I want to be in a place where I can see a stranger, and offer him a flower. I want that kind of power!"
And that's just in the first few minutes. The record goes on and on and on like that. Dorothy meets a bag lady "on a bus" who tries to hand her some pamphlets written by an army general from "Normalville" ... but Dorothy convinces the army general to "...trade his dog tags in for love beads..." and the lady on the bus eventually gets attacked by some "free press" pamphlets, and becomes The Wicked Old Witch in protest. Dorothy eventually decides to "...find the Great Wozard of Iz... because if I find out where the Woz was, I'd find out where it's at!" Then she gets advised by some more witches on busses to leave "Upset Strip" road in search of "the yellow green road" past the land of "surf and muscle tan" where she notes "...everyone has sunburned teeth from smiling so much." The scarecrow she eventually meets is an excessive consumer who buys too many American gas-guzzling cars and who has substituted "things" for "zing" and decides to follow Dorothy on her quest for the Wozard who can perhaps help him "think" instead of "thing." All the while, insanity-inducing electronic sounds bloop, swerve, echo and boom in the background. This LP is a (fractured) MASTERPIECE!
The rest of the album goes all over the place... using plenty of instruments and a whole chorus of vocalists. The songs sound like they could be in ANY musical... and it's a wonder that the production never made it anywhere past an LP recording. The voice of Dorothy is provided by sometime Lee Hazelwood vocalist/partner Suzie Jane Hokum. There are rumors that this woman is actually Nancy Sinatra (it certainly sounds like her)... but looking at some of the discussions about this album on the web... it looks like the verdict is still undecided as to whether it is her or not. It could be... or it may be just a vinyl compleatist nerd's urban legend.
Now I won't say any more about this great record except that you should keep an eye peeled for it... and hear it if you can. It's a total blast.
