FREAKS GALORE 5 - THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM

 

FREAKS GALORE 5

 

THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM

according to Luke Haines and Sonic Smith-d

 

More from the world of freakdom – of course, the supply is endless. Some even have the freakdom in their names. I chose Billy Roberts because his song was later customized by many Freaks.

I hope you enjoy this compilation as well, if you do, leave a comment.

 

 

01. THE NICE  -  WAR AND PEACE  (it isn‘t Keith E. who‘s the Freak here, but the unsurpassed David O‘List, master of the most unpredictable guitar)

02. ALBERTO Y LOST TRIOS PARANOIAS  -  PETER PARKER (CP Lee, Chaz Jankel, Roger Ruskin Spear - all prolific Freaks)

03. BILLY ROBERTS  -  HEY JOE (the first demo of this landmark song by his songwriter who‘d had the black prisoners on his mind)

04. SCREAMING LORD SUTCH  -  BLACK AND HAIRY (no more Freak than Lord Sutch)

05. PJ HARVEY  -  DRESS (women Freak, naturally)

06. THE TIGER LILLIES  -  HEROIN AND COCAINE (multicultural Freakness)

POWER SADDLE - Red Swirls & Blue Poppies

 

Ridin' In A Power Saddle

 

Red Swirls and Blue Poppies

 

My taste in music is eclectic. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, apart from Heavy Metal and its various shapes and Techno. 70s Pub Rock, 80s New Wave, 90s Garage Rock, almost 50 years of Punk, Jazz, World Music, Rai, Folk Rock, 60s Beat, 50s Rock ‘n’ Roll… no limit! The MC5, Tamikrest, Scott Walker, Sons & Daughters, The Fugs, Bachir Attar, The Damned, Elliott Sharp, Rockpile, Eddie & The Hot Rods, Ron Kavana, Steve Earle – all of them are welcome to my ear any day. The Soft Boys! Great! The Dwight Twilley Band! Wonderful! You see where I’m leading you… apart from all the noise, I dig Power Pop too. Did it start with The Beatles’ “It Won’t Be Long”? When I fell for it? At least when The Easybeats threw “Friday On My Mind” at us, they won me over. Power Pop!

It has never been off my plate.

FREAKS GALORE 4

 

THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM

according to Luke Haines and Sonic Smith-d

 

Here’s another slice of freakdom – music to shave your head to. It took a while to get this transferred, something freaky was always in the way. It was so spooky yet I dunno what it was. Maybe the ghost of Black Box Recorder. Hope you enjoy this to, if you like it, leave a comment.

 

01. SISTER ROSETTA THARPE    DIDN‘T IT RAIN, CHILDREN (Freaky female preacher and master of the Gibson SG spreading the gospel))

02. THE AVALANCHES    FRONTIER PSYCHIATRISTS (as crazy as a coconut)

03. ORBITAL    P.E.T.R.O.L. (Paul & Phil Hartnoll‘s iconic torch glasses)

04. BAUHAUS    BELA LUGOSI‘S DEAD  (Peter Murphy‘s high cheekbones quality for Freakdom)

05. THE SEEDS    GYPSY PLAYS HIS DRUMS (Saxon, Hooper, Savage - Hollywood Freaks who made thousands crazy)

06. THE CRAMPS    PRIMITIVE (Lux Interior and Poison Ivy qualify for the no. 1 Freaks…                 “I take what you give, because I love and I live primitive“)

07. CABARET VOLTAIRE    NO ESCAPE (Kirk, Mallinder, Watson Freaks)

08. ROBYN HITCHCOCK & THE EGYPTIANS    THE MAN WITH THE LIGHTBULB HEAD (few Freaks had more freaky songs up their sleeve than Robyn)

09. ROBYN HITCHCOCK & THE EGYPTIANS    UNCORRECTED PERSONALITY TRAITS (need anymore proof?)

10. THE SEEDS    TRAVEL WITH YOUR MIND  (Saxon, Hooper, Savage again)

11. CAN    SING SWAN SONG (Can had a few Freaks up the sleeve - but Holger Czukay was rather concerned with Bulgarian sheperds flutes)

12. THE PUDDLE    JUNK (a bunch of New Zealand Freaks)
