FREAKS GALORE 6 - THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM

 

FREAKS GALORE 6

 

THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM

according to Luke Haines and Sonic Smith-d

 

I mentioned that there were more Freaks in the tube ready for your enlightenment - but probaby you know them all. 

The world of freakdom is seemingly unlimited. I chose the Screaming Lord Sutch song, because he was such a tragic figure and a Freak by nature and yet could descend into the world of Popsyke. And Elliott Sharpe is obsessed with outrageous sounds.

Ivor Cutler can’t be beaten in his British eccentricity, and so can’t be John Dowie: just plain wonderful, and be taken with two tongues in your cheek!

Please enjoy this compilation, if you do, leave a comment.

 

1. C.O.B   SHEBA‘S RETURN - THE LION OF JUDAH (Incredible String Band‘s Clive Palmer Folk Freak)

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.

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)

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.
