Flipper-Ha Ha Ha

The Dirtbombs - Ha Ha Ha (Flipper Cover)

I said that after a most enjoyable trip out of town we would return to the creature maxima (along with the Gories). The most interesting, varied, and enduring. So, returning to the encyclopedic double album, the first side (already listened to) was full of original material, while the second featured majestic covers this time of all kinds: the usual beloved Black, tributes to friends and contemporaneous braindead colleagues, pop and various trinkets in the manner of Michelino.

Friends and comrades of Garage, psychedelic, psycho(able), angry and disdainful, devoted to onanism and any fine vice that may satisfy our Noble primal instincts… let us gather around this NeGro and do good for ourselves…

Lyin’ Girl

Besides Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and super with this other magnificent creation of his.

With Too Much Guitar, you say to yourself, “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and then this damn bastard goes and does what?! He lets a whole five years go by and drops a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can't define it... it takes you back to adolescence with sounds filled with sixties vibes, R&B, soul but also imbued with that traditional American sound...
And with that bastard, flirtatious voice… despite the 17 octaves of the “great singer,” whom I couldn’t care less about... it breathes life into this splendid bastard...

AlbumONE… if you haven't figured it out yet… But the beauty is that this character puts together bits of Beatles, Van Morrison, Arthur Lee, Graham Parker, and even Bob Dylan to create an album like this… after having been one of the wildest iconoclasts of “Classic” Rock… you’d say he has no class, talent, nobility?! Naaaaaaaaaaa… and even WAITS… come on now...

Next EP…

The Monks- Higgle Dy Piggle Dy

The Monks - Monk Time (1966)

The Essential Albums: “BLACK MONK TIME”

“We are ideologically in line with the Fugs and the Deviants, while musically it’s a surreal and derailing garage-rock that dominates among the nave where the monk guests of the German brotherhood launch their sermons. Music from hoods played by people with tonsures. An exaggeration that is a bit crazy and spectacular of what is happening in Italy during the same period with the introduction of the Beat Mass, which, however, has an ecumenical function that does not find a counterpart in the protest of the Monks’ music, definitive anti-heroes of the global beat scene”… so be it…

Ok Rev (73)
