You'll know lovable curmudgeon Wilford Beauregard Brimley as TV's Corporal Crustypants from NBC's short-lived sitcom Ass Patrol! But did you know he's an enthusiastic advocate of the psychedelic experience? A regular visitor to th' Isle O'Foam© [here and here and here and here and here and here and here and also here, and those are links fuffucksake - Ed.], Wilf has agreed to be your host this and every Sunday in what will be a do-not-miss diary date for th' Four Or Five Guys©!

So leave us let th' Brimster get this multicolored ball o' wax rolling!"Howdy, Foameteers®! It's sweet Sunday here on th' 'I Love Home' and here's some swell music to file alongside all them other downloads you never got around to listenin' to! Back in the day, grabbin' these elpees was trickier than pullin' eels from a mudhole, but what with this new-fangled electric radio technology you can be diggin' the sounds in the twitch of a possum's whisker! So throw back a tab of backwoods acid and join in the fun while it's still here to be joined in with!"

Today, Wilf Brimley's Psychedelic Psunday Pstash is a whole mess o' first-class second-tier psych on the ever-optimistic Mainstream label; twelve albums I haven't the energy to paint the covers for. Here's FoamFavorite™ Kreemé [eighteen my ass - Ed.] to introduce those albums in full:

✌🏻December's Children
✌🏻Freeport
✌🏻Lacewing
✌🏻Superfine Dandelion
✌🏻Tangerine Zoo (x2)

Dick Schnitzengruben, Youthful Flick-Disc™ Records Prexy, Reveals New Label Stars! (Dept.)

Schnitzengruben auditions star of tomorrow at prestigious Flick-Disc™ HQ, yesterday! Foam-O-Graph©

Here on th' Isle O' Foam©, we cherish record labels devoted to second-tier psychedelia! Let's hear it for Musicor! [That's a link, right there! - Ed.] and Mainstream! [That's another! Go ahead and click - it won't bite! - Ed.]. Today we honor industry visionaries Flick-Disc©, who operated out of Verve Records warehouse toilet! Here's youthful Flick-Disc© prexy Dick Schnitzengruben to moisten our music oysters!

Hi, teens! Flick-Disc© prexy Dick Schnitzengruben here, with his finger on the throbbing pulse of the nation's youth! And man oh man, have we ever got some swingin' platters comin' your way!

The Boston Tea Parties have that Bosstown Sound down to a Tea! Hailing from right here in downtown Pomona, this husky foursome is sure to set the pop charts alight with their finger-poppin' blend of Now Sounds!

Watch out, Establishment "squares"! It's The American Revolutions comin' at ya! Yes, teens, this swell combo from downtown Pomona is all fired-up with the latest in psychedelic-style beat tunes! Roll over Paul Revere and tell Uncle Sam the news!

And here's St John And The Greens with their distinctive blend of far-out stylings! From calypso to bossa, from ballads to beat, this wholesome Pomona foursome delivers a challenging musical "happening" for the youth of today!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly, Schnitzengruben was busted for human trafficking, violating the Mann Act, and felony removal of mattress labels. These three discs were to be the label's only product, and everybody died tragically, including Schnitzengruben's youthful ward and personal assistant, Twinky Hunkcheese, who painted the covers for these albums all by himself. But you can relive the heady atmosphere of that Golden Era of second-tier psych by simply clicking the link in the comments!

Art Not The Artist Dept. - The Sting In The Tale

 

Indescribably handsome, yes. Funny, no.

 

The thing about Sting, see, is that he seems to be completely, utterly, totally, lacking a sense of humor. Can you picture him laughing at a beau jeste? I can't. ROFLING or LOLING, let alone LHFAO, is not the Sting style. He called himself Sting, remember. I could take the preening vanity - he has a lot to preen about. I could take the pretension, more often expressed in interviews than music. Pretension has an important part to play in artistic creation. But I couldn't take his grinding, monolithic self-seriousness. His lack of play.

Be that as it may, and it certainly is, the man has made some pretty sublime music, and the pretty sublimest is probably on Ten Summoner's Tales. So ultimately, I win. I don't have to listen to him hold forth and declaim in the drawing-room. All I have to do is "sit back, relax, and enjoy" this fantastic album.

The deliverable is the download-only extended version. It's not better than the original, but only a fool would deny it's longer. Play it in the backgound as you and your lowlife pals pass the Sterno. I done did a new cover [above - Ed.] so you can tell it apart from the original when you sober up.

Up And Atom Dept.- Atom Juice

Yemen in '68 was the last place you'd expect to find a thriving psychedelic scene, yet the night clubs of Sanaa were a boiling cauldron of lysergic experiment. Teens gathered at the infamous Club Fatwa to freak out to the grooviest new bands on the acid-rock scene, and the grooviest was Atom Juice, led by enigmatic Abdul Alhazred, ex-child movie star (that's him in A Yemeni Christmas). Their first album [self-titled, above - Ed.] was a national hit in '68, but global stardom eluded them when the great camel milk drought of '69 crashed the nation's economy overnight.

I got nuthin'.

But you get this unfeasibly bodacious album, which if you dig Floyd circa 68-70, because of course you do, you will clasp to your withered bosom with weak cries of joy and thankfulness.

Millionaire socialite and IoF© Prexy Farquhar Throckmorton III [left - Ed.] sez: "Say, fellows! If you take drugs as seriously as I do, you certainly will not regret downloading today's swell deliverable! And that's a FoamGuarantee®!"
