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.
