| Gran'ma Kennedy wins this weeks kwiz! |
You'll know hunky dreamboat John-Boy Kennedy from the long-running T.V. series The Kennedys, chronicling the lives of an inbred hillbilly family on Kennedy Mountain. But did you know he's also a keen collector of psychedelic vinyl?
Study the above Foam-O-Graph© [above - Ed.] and see if you can identify his favorite album! Note almost-hot sister Mary Ellen, tripping balls in family sitting room! Note retarded younger brother Jason, all gussied-up for the hoedown!
Well, youse bums lost. Face it. No soup for you!
Allude to John-Boy's favorite album with clew, hint, or suggestion! Do not name directly!
ReplyDelete(As a confirmer - the cover features another family member!)
I'm going to allude to Hits from the Bong by Cypress Hill. Too obvious? It's early here, I've just got vertical.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic allusion! Fantastic in the sense of having no foundation in truth. But hey - your early is my late.
DeleteUh - this is Old School FoamKwiz™ - nuthin' cryptic.
ReplyDelete"Good Singin', Good Playin'" by Grand Funk Railroad. Or if it isn't, it should be. Or, I need new glasses.
ReplyDeleteWrite a piece on Grand Funk and win a swell trading card!
DeleteMan, this chap has no idea, in fact nobody knows, which you can take as an obscure link to the chorus of the second last song on the album, or just a statement of fact. Also, as someone too young to remember where I was when yesterday's breaking news happened, I have no idea about the amefican family or which one would be on the lp cover unless they wore a particular headpiece.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteRemoved in exactly what sense? Something's not quite right with this.
DeleteDoes a wife count as a family member?
ReplyDeleteSo, there's a vase of flowers but its too small to see if they are roses, there's a watering can but it hasn't got a rose on it. There's a comic but it's not Jackie. There isn't a Teddy bear in it. There's a song about a policeman, but there's no Bobby on the album cover.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm barking up the wrong lp, however if anyone wants to guess the one I'm thinking of, then I could hijack this quiz off our host and award a handsome carriage clock to the winner.
I think the answer lies in the upper left framed picture, but eyestrain prevents precise identification.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm here, I must add that your current photoshop-work above is so stinking funny. Big thanks for all that you create, visually.
Konrad is definitely in the right general area here. Note full album cover not shown on account you'd see title, rendering exercise futile.
DeleteOh, and Photoshop is wayyy out of my league. I use Preview (bundled with Mac), and the equivalent of Paint, and a shitty photo filter I found on the internet that nobody wanted.
DeleteA quick guess (It's the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. of A)
ReplyDeleteArtist: The Deceased Clan
Album: Lights Out For Representative Government
Yup. The Dark Ages started right there. It'll be a while before we see the light again.
DeleteHello Pardner',
ReplyDeleteI coulda' sworn this was a reenactment of Throbbing Gristle's "Greatest Hits: Entertainment Through Pain" LP.
May only your turkey and not your goose be cooked today.
As always,

Every morning I watch the sun come up. That's my thanksgiving.
DeleteIts got to be this one, surely

Aprt from the slight problem that it doesn't tie in to any of the clues.
I actually had that on vinyl. And I think they made another. Not too great. And what about that spelling?
DeleteSpooling, don't get me started, kids of today, with their word processors and electric typewriters what's the world coming to...
DeleteThey certainly wouldn't understand even the basic principles of scrimshaw, the time-honored craft by which th' IoF© is produced. See the white empty space here? Pure narwhal tusk.
Deletenow, when I were a lad, we didn't half have it bad
DeletePicture on the wall resembles old geezer who has never seen a Schick razor in his life.
ReplyDeleteThat picture on the wall to the left is driving me nuts. I'm sure I've seen it before...
ReplyDeleteThat's 2/3 the album cover. Here's another clue for you all - the featured relative is JFK, in a neat bit of cross-thread synchronicity.
DeleteIs that Andy Warhol in shades???
ReplyDeleteApropos of nothing...I've just snagged the new Brian Wilson "Long Promised Road" soundtrack. Any takers?
ReplyDelete*jumps up and down, clapping hands like a girl*
DeleteYou folks are always going on about this Brian Wilson guy. What's the deal? The only thing I know about him is A Day in the Life of...
Deletehttps://mega.nz/file/qJciDayL#K82YgRgyxqF7wfBwUkYUbEk6No0EUDUXO1tPA0fk8EU
Here it is. After a cursory listen, I think it's going to be a real grower.

Are these new/old songs? I can't find any specific info on the soundtrack. Even when his voice is totally shot (like Tom Waits' grandfather) the tunes are still totally catchy.
DeleteAll I can find so far.
ReplyDeletehttp://soundtracksscoresandmore.com/2021/11/24/premiere-brian-wilson-jim-james-new-song-long-promised-road/
I found that - no recording details. Enjoying the album, looking forward to the movie.
DeleteFive of the tracks date from the 1996 Andy Paley sessions - available if you don't have them.
DeleteThe first track is new - the "Waits" one. It has a fragile beauty at times.
I have them somewhere but all mixed up with other material. If you have a nicely-defined edition I'd love that, pleasethankyou.
DeleteI have a very complete version - poorly tagged, but better quality than the other one I have. As soon as it uploads, it shall be yours. It's basically the "Landylocked" bootleg, but BIGGER.
DeleteOne power cut later...
Deletehttps://workupload.com/file/hUSGSDqKV7G
... this is the movie soundtrack again. I do this all the time.
DeleteYikes.
DeleteUploading the right file!
https://workupload.com/file/VguvrzPWSZU
DeleteMuchachas graniolas, compadero!
DeleteThe film is as you'd expect - lots of talking heads, interviews with Brian, a little bit of archive footage. A typical rock doc.
DeleteToo big to upload with mu connection. But a link (not mine) is available.
Oh come on Mr T, you could have made it a bit more of a challenge than that surely. I bet there's an album of mongolian harp music lurking in your collection crying out to be dusted down to really test us out.
ReplyDeleteIf Psychfan was still around, he'd have got it. And these puzzles have featured some obscure albums, all of which - until today - were recognised within a few hours.
DeleteNext time, it'll be Abba's Greatest Hits!
Naah, stick with the obscure, you may be on a roll.
ReplyDeleteThe words on the cover read: The Cambridge Concept Of Timothy Clover/A Harvard Square Affair/The Bean Town Sound - which must have confused the hell out of potential purchasers. It's a very pleasant light psych-pop piece, lushly arranged in that 'sixties way, and basically a psychploitation exercise by a bunch of seasoned musos. Very nice album.
ReplyDeleteGo here for info (such as it is):

"What th---?!"
ReplyDeleteThis hidden album is so obscure [to us US youth anyway] that you could display the above answer artwork and still no one'd get it!
Obscure?! Not to me, it ain't. To me, the new Abba album is obscure, and likely to remain so.
DeleteIt's so formulaic that it sounds like a pastiche. I wanted to enjoy it, but I don't.
Delete*sob* You brute! You cold, unfeeling BRUTE! Bewhew! BEWHEWHEW!
DeleteHowdy pardner,
ReplyDeleteIf I can throw my two cent's in - given for inflation I'd say duck because I'm probably gonna' haveta' lob a silver dollar to compensate for exchange rates, the record in questions reminds me a lot of "Would You Believe?" only without th' pep pills.
