Wade Denning And Kay Lande :: Halloween
Halloween isn’t that tough to spell. But anytime I write or type the word, I find myself subconsciously singing Wade Denning and Kay Lande’s “Halloween.” Released on Golden Records in 1969 as part of a […]

Vampyros Lesbos (1971)
Horror films have always straddled the line between sex and violence. One could say the same about porn. Put the two genres together and add a heavy dose of irony and psychedelic drugs and you […]
Son of Mondo Boys :: A Halloween Mixtape
Back from the dead. We are Mondo Boys – a NY/LA mixtape/sound collage collaborative. This is our 2010 Halloween mix. Grab last year’s here . Mucho take it easy. — MB (mondo boys are: n. punwar, m. schanzlin, […]
Antony and the Johnsons :: The Dylan Covers
Bob Dylan is no easy cover. His distinctive voice, both vocally and lyrically, make it nearly impossible for many artists to capture the proper temperament. There are even some Dylan lyrics that just sound, well, […]
Evariste :: Connais-tu l’animal qui inventa le calcul intégral?
One of the more disturbing pieces to be laid on tape–Evariste’s 1967 “Connais tu l’animal qui inventa le calcul intégral.” Very little idea what is going on here (it’s in French) except to note it […]
Red River Dave :: California Hippie Murders
Last year during Halloween we profiled Charles Manson’s controversial 1970 LP Lie: The Love and Terror Cult —a must-read for anyone interested in the recording. Today we’re focusing on Red River Dave’s biographical tale of . . . Only the good shit. Aquarium Drunkard is […]

Bob McFadden And Dor :: The Mummy
Not the first time Bob McFadden And Dor have graced these pages, but with Halloween next week this is definitely the most timely/appropriate. Like the majority of McFadden’s shtick, “The Mummy,” off the 1959 LP Songs Our Mummy Taught […]
Antony and the Johnsons :: Mysteries of Love
Over the past 25 years the collaboration between David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti has yielded many a monster—producing some of cinemas most gothic, memorable and atmospheric scores. A relationship that began with Lynch’s 1986 dark masterpiece Blue […]
Riley :: Grandma’s Roadhouse
Back in 1971 a short-lived band out of Nashville, TN, by the name of Riley, pressed up 500 copies of their self-released LP, Grandma’s Roadhouse . Nearly 40 years later Delmore Recordings has dusted off and reissued the album […]
Antony and the Johnsons :: If It Be Your Will (live)
Just like great athletes have career defining moments, so, too, do musicians. For Pulp, it was their last minute fill-in for an imploding Stone Roses on the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 1995, […]
Las Mosquitas :: A Sixties Girl Group, Argentinian Style
Las Mosquitas: four girls from Buenos Aires, a guitar, bass, keys and some percussion. And of course, attitude. That is the gist of what has been spinning around the homestead the past few days since […]
Antony and the Johnsons :: Swanlights
Antony Hegarty loves themes. So, it’s no surprise that the fourth album from Antony and the Johnsons, Swanlights , opens with the insistence that “everything is new” and ends by repeating this line with the added image of […]
