It's a series of spirals, mathematic formulaic scribblings, and a series of names, which supposedly map out the secret lineage of the antichrist.

And, as anyone who listens to the disc will be able to tell, it was *not* the band's normal sound. What happened was that they'd gone for an audition at Laurie Records and been rejected. The label didn't want a band that sounded like The Beatles; they wanted one sounding like the Hermits. Most of the band was pretty upset, but songwriter/drummer John Spirt woke up the next day with this song in his head. He instructed their singer to imitate Peter Noone. The whole idea was that if Laurie wanted something that dumb, they'd give it to 'em. While singer Zack Bocelle can't be sure, he thinks that John was basically saying, "Fine, you want dumb? This is a Dumb Dumb Song."

I hope you all will indulge me. I am a Christian and a garage/psych fanatic. I have 5 CDs by Christian rock groups (all indie) plus the stray Hank Williams gospel song or Sam Cooke's gospel offshoots, but 99.99% of my collection is all '60s pop, rock, garage, psych, etc. So if you wish to look past my religious beliefs, you have more than enough reason to do so. I try not to proselytize, and I too like to distance myself from most fundamentalists, like Pat Robertson, etc. I will not begrudge non-Christians their alternate beliefs or lack of beliefs, but I really think that a blanket condemnation of all Christians is a bit much. In a way, crossing the line. The Bomp list isn't as a rule an atheist mailing list, even if a lot of people on here aren't Christians, and all we talk about is rock and roll music. The whole Bibleman thing is a bit freaky in my mind too, but if the kids have to have a superhero who their super-religious parents will let them watch on TV, I guess they have to settle for Bibleman. I remember when the Family Channel was still CBN and they aired "The Flying House" and "Superbook," both bad Japanimation shows portraying Bible stories. Here's another factoid to add to the freaky Christian media discussion -- Bobby Goldsboro, the singer of the most corny, maudlin ballad to ever hit the charts, "Honey," created a Christian muppet show called "Swamp Critters" that airs on TBN. On the subject of possible Christian garage, I don't think you could consider anything by the Music Machine to fall into that category, as Sean Bonniwell's conversion didn't happen until long after the MM days. Perhaps the most notable version of the song "Very Last Day," which was actually written by either Peter or Paul of Peter, Paul and Mary, was by the Hollies. It appeared on their 1965 "Hollies" album, and I think that's the one most other versions are based on. I know of one other compilation, called "Songs Of Faith and Inspiration," but only one song on there appears to be "Christian garage," and that's "God Is Real" by the Crusaders, who put out an LP on Tower in 1966 and later turned full psych as the Love Exchange (recently reissued on Sundazed). The Crusaders album is...pretty bad. On the other hand, I have a pretty cool single by a group called The Apocalypse, on Apocalypse Records, published by Apocalyptic Publishing, Inc. It's "We Have Lost The Way" c/w "Do You Remember," ca. 1968, typical melodic folk-rock as opposed to the Crusaders album, which is merely old hymns awkwardly given an electric rock beat. Over in the UK, there was a Salvation Army pop band called the Joystrings, active around 1964-65, as well as a band called the Crossbeats (who actually have a nice website somewhere on the net). There hasn't been a whole lot of discussion and little written about this kind of stuff. For many people it all started with "Godspell."

That Christian rewrite of "He's Waitin'" by the Sonics (has to be the first rock song about Satan) was pretty cool! I ought to give the Sonics version and these new lyrics to one of our many local Christian rock bands... That reminds me of a website I found (may have been a link from this list) where some company did Christian rewrites of countless popular songs from the '50s to the present. Some really bad, bad, bad reworkings of songs like "I'm A Believer" "Wild Thing" ("God Thing") and "Catch A Wave" ("Catch The Way"). How about something like "You're Gonna Miss Me" ("You're gonna wake up one morning, and find Christ has come...")? Or how about "Are You Gonna Be There (At The Rapture)?" Or "Holy Water" (instead of "Dirty Water")? As far as I know, the aforementioned website doesn't have a "garage rock" section... Just a thought, Dave __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 21:02:05 -0500 From: "Crawdaddy Simon" Subject: Re: Got a question for the Bee Gees fanatics on-list... A while back, James wrote: > Those RARE, PRECIOUS & BEAUTIFUL albums by the Bee Gees turn up often. > What kind of bag were they in then I'd say the beat/pop bag. I only had the first volume, but I just got the box set with the three LPs, even though they're supposed to be in fake stereo (it sounds fine to me). Anyway, fab melodic knack despite the odd bum track, and the weird/dramatic Gibb factor was already noticeable in some of the song titles (I Was A Lover A Leader Of Men, I Am The World, Claustrophobia, I Don't Know Why I Bother Myself, Second Hand People, etc.). Some of their best mid-sixties material isn't included, though, like the stuff they cut with Ronnie Burns (Exit Stage Right, Coalman, the incredible Top Hat, etc.), or their very nice cover of You Won't See Me. Personally, I think the Bee Gees are totally up there with all the other classic "B" bands (Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Badfinger, Big Star...).

Thanks guys, I appreciate! I did treat myself to a bunch of cool CDs and LPs, stuff like "The Electric Banana Blows Your Mind", "The Story Of Simon Simopath", "Move Over For Terry Reid", a recent Rod Stewart comp called "A Little Misunderstood - The Sixties Sessions", and the "Here Comes Shuggie Otis" LP reissue among others, with the MGs' "Time Is Tight" box set to top it off! I also found a neat book from 1975 by Tony Cummings called "The Sound Of Philadelphia". It looks very detailed, with lots of pictures. Thanks again!

Hey, it's no bummer to me, and I'm as psyched as you probably are to know the source of the sample (found "Double Barrell" on Audiogalaxy; great song--but then, so's the Special Ed (love that name!) jam)... Special Ed was definitely cool, witty, and musically just plain FUN. > Snoop Dogg is trying to bring him > back or something. This I did not know, but it would great if it happens. In general, I think there was a much greater spirit of FUN in the earlier years of Rap; I miss a lot of the Old School artists.

They abound with witchcraft, the evils of rock music, conspiracy theory--including the Illuminati and a variety of lodges (Masons, Eastern Star (did I get the name right?), etc),--cannibalism (yep, you read right), perversion and the like. The one specifically dealing with the R&R record industry, "Spellbound," is a MUST HAVE, as is the cannibal one, "The Ark."
