Yeah, the title track to the legendary Jens Jorgen Thorsen screen adaptation of the Henry Miller book. The film is one of the finest examples of Situationist detournement ever Thorsen was a member of the 2nd Situationist International and one of my favourite movies of all time. Country Joe is good, nice little tune over which he sings filth. He knew all the names in the New York scene of the sixties, being close to La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, Jack Smith and others, but went his own way as a result of his interesting critique of art andserious culture.
But check the music, it is great! What a difference a producer makes! This is produced by Vic Maile and as an indie release actually sounds a lot better than anything Nick Cash andco. I saw at least a dozen times in London in the late-seventies, just coz all the punks went to see them, and they were never that great.
Another A1 production job, this time by legendary American maverick Shel Talmy, the man behind the early Kinks and Who sound. A non-hit from the Red Bird label, and a classic example of stomping sixties soul. I loved this from the first moment I heard it. Back when I was leaving school in we used to talk about liking EFM standing for extra fast music and this is really fast, and wonderful mix of reggae, hip hop and rapping⦠Great tune too.
This is also the title of a novel I had out a couple of years ago. This is just one track from an absolutely crucial rare groove album. This tune is great but you need the whole platter. Trader Horner.. I remember the first time I heard about I was living in Maryland, just outside D. I was a fan from the first second I saw the cover! Click here to contact Shel Talmy.
Aug 1, β¦ The Red Bird label was yellow with black print, with the red and black logo on top. By the end, the three stories have overlapped and more or less come together. In Orkney, some of the inhabitants are dead celebrities β like Princess Diana and Stephen Milligan β and the military seem to be behind everything; the whole sequence is bizarre and dreamlike.
