| Old School Foam-O-Graph© - can you tell it from real AI? |
You'll know TV's Brian Blessed from his manly shenanigans, such as freediving the Mariana Trench on one lungful of air, and eating the entire Auk population of Fernando Po for breakfast! But did you know he's also an enthusiastic collector of collectors' sixties-type psychedelia?
We chatted poolside whilst [grammar - Ed.] Kreemé served her signature Mexican tap water and gas station boner pill smoothies.
FT3 Good to have you here, Sir Blessed!
BB WOOOAAAARRRGGGH I FLOSS WITH BARBED WIRE!
FT3 That's swell, Bri! You brung an album wit' yez?
BB GGGGGRRRRRRRRROWF!
FT3 Is it the Autosalvage album?
BB ARRRROOOOGAH!!! BRROWFFF!
[Audio ends at this point - Ed.]
Sir Blessed's choice of album is both informed and timely. Autosalvage was recorded 1968 in New York, as was the recently FoamFeatured™ Chrysalis, another self-titled debut that would be the band's only release. And there's a shared Zappa connection - Zappa was a fan, and named the band. Both albums occupy a kind of literate/art/semi-prog rock zone, and if you dig one you'll dig the other.

ReplyDeleteSiam taking an early lead with three votes.
DeleteThis is rather an apposite question, last night my friend Lance did his last gig with The Dumb Poets in the UK, next week he leaves to start a new life hear Pattaya, Thailand. I will miss him and his ability to wear sunglasses inside.
DeleteMe, I would like Germany.
Pattaya, eh? First port of call for prison release recreation, Russian mafia, and Chinese hostile investment. I hope your friend isn't too near!
DeleteSan Francisco, 1966, with a pocket full of money, a 34 inch waist, a Sly and the family Stone doing a residency in a nightclub decorated like the inside of the Adam West Batcave, and legal LSD. My kind of place...
ReplyDeleteThe groovy undersea pad from Hello Down There
ReplyDeleteThe pleasure planet Risa (Star Trek) or the Oasis (Ready Player One).
ReplyDeleteMono and stereo albums, both equally swell:
