Tennessee Ernie - Shot Gun Boogie

Tennessee Ernie or Ernest Jennings Ford (February 13, 1919 – October 17, 1991), known professionally as Tennessee Ernie Ford, was an American recording artist and television host who enjoyed success in the country and Western, pop, and gospel musical genres. Today, he is best remembered for his hit recording of "Sixteen Tons". While best remembered for a more pop country and gospel sound make no bones about it, this little ditty from 1951 is early rockabilly!

Spooky Organ Vibes

spooky organ vibes: the cover of this organ record indicates love but when i played this thing it immediately gave me spooky vibes, sorta like the soundtrack to the great old horror movie carnival of lost souls. so i decided to make it even more spooky (or retarded) and mash up each song on each side. so each side condensed down to a few minuets. like a bad acid trip at the local county fair. now without further ado, i have more Philly beer week to attend to. have at it...

Bob City - Swap Buggy Racin' - Dead Man

Some heavy late 90's grungy punk metal. Sounds like a cross between Tad and Earthride. The vocals sound like Sherman from earthride a lot. I would imagine that after a 12 pack and a few shots of Yager back in 1998 that old Bob here would have been a hell of a fun ride to have seen live.... Once again thanks to my good record pal Gene Mullett for turning me on to another forgotten Ohio nugget. Kudos brother!

Ed Pauling And The Exciters - Soul House

Ed Pauling And The Exciters from 1965 w/ a great swinging blues/soul instrumental with some killer guitar work on the great Savoy Records label. The horns keep it pumping and we get a little bass solo action w/ some answering guitar. Neat. The tune ends rather abruptly and i'd have liked it to jam on for a bit more but whats there is pretty excellent. jam on it.

The Doughboys - Everybody Knows My Name - Candy Candy

Bubble gum pop rocks w. a slight psych feel from 1967. Scant info is out there but then again i didn't look very hard. Any info would be appreciated. Sorta sounds like The Monkees or The Royal Guardsman, which aint a bad thing in my mind. I'm too lazy to scan the B side but if you want it let me know and i can do it..... lates.

Cool little indie rocker from the obscure but great Dromedary Records label. Both from the great state of New Jersey. Released sometime in 1993.... that's 20 fucking years ago.... holy shit.... Sounds a bit like Sonic Youth. There is a copy up on eBay right now; BIN for 99.99 bucks! Have at it!

Chuck Murphy - Who Drank My Beer (While I Was In The Rear)

I hate when this happens... Not much has changed since 1952.

Here is what Billboard had to say about it Jul 19, 1952: Pleasant ditty is given good pace by a spirited western featuring a honky tonk piano. Murphy half-talks half-sings the lyrics with proper dolefulness while the boys in teh band add a gang vocal in spots. Should do okay in tavern jukes.

The Barracuda - Sleeping Out The Storm - Julie (The Song I Sing Is You)

One of my all time fave records is the 1968 mellow psych masterpiece by the band "Gandalf" An original copy has been on my want list for years but has escaped my clutches since it doesn't turn up often and when it does it is pretty much out of this bottom feeders price range. One day i will own it, but in the meantime i sussed out this 45. It is one of guitar player and singer of Gandalf Peter Sando's other projects "The Barracuda" from 1969, a year after the Gandalf record was released. It's a bit more on the "pop" side and not nearly as dreamy & ethereal as the Gandalf stuff but still a cool pop psych nugget and when i found it on the cheap in OG company sleeve i couldn't say no

Bad Cat Records has a nice write up on Gandalf and The Barracuda HERE: if your not familiar with the band or Mr. Peter Sando.

Just picked this 45 up on the cheap and thought i'd throw it up. I aint got much to say but I've been getting some awesome spam on the blog that i thought i'd share.

If it isn't two people and a bed, with a fleshlight on one end, and a viewer should be able to reach the orgasm. Why treat it like something is 465 people. Some 12-step programs are available for viewing.

Occasionally browsing through videos online I'd see others using their artificial vaginas, and you can do to improve or maintain the count and quality.

However, there are bacteria on those tiny holes on your Artificial Vagina because this sex toy out there, from vibrators since it seems Walrus semen is the Arctic Sea's version of Nessie and Bigfoot.

Lol They just released a new life like anatomically correct Artificial Vagina! On the Anonymity of Singing Assholes Now Pink Flamingos plays on television! Strange ticking noises from appliances or walls/roof.

As for Eddie James, i got nothing, but i found some info on the awesome and always informative Sir Shambling's Deep Soul Heaven:

Eddie James probably cam from Tennessee as all his recordings came from the state. His Startown single appeared on a Chattanooga label and is a simple but effective midpaced item which suffers from a low budget production. Both his King 45s from the early 70s are much better. They were cut at the Starday/King studios in Nashville and benefit from the experienced session men there. Reap What You Sow is a fine country slowie featuring subdues strings and some tasteful electric piano but (I Can’t Get Used To) Livin’ Without You is a real gem. A beautifully rendered country soul ballad with some lovely picked and chorded guitar and piano fills. Eddie’s voice is gentle and concerned with just enough “rasp” to make the lyric meaningful.

These are real throwback discs at a time when wah wah guitars and funky keyboards were all the rage – no wonder they didn’t sell. But the timeless nature of this sort of music means that it lasts so much better than the transient nature of “today’s sound”.

Heather Black - Circles

Heather Black: Texas band that included Gaylan Latimer (aka Gaylan Ladd). Gaylan Ladd cut a great fuzz stomper back in 1965 that I've had my eye on for some time, so I've been trying to track down his other stuff and came upon this 45 from 1977 on the American Pla-Boy label & produced by Huey Meaux. It's a hard rocker w/ a slight southern rock vibe ala The Allman Bro's. Pretty cool.

The Novas - The Crusher

Reginald Lisowski (July 11, 1926 – October 22, 2005) was an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, The Crusher (sometimes Crusher Lisowski to distinguish him from other Crushers, such as Crusher Blackwell).

In 1964, the Minneapolis-based garage rock band The Novas wrote a song dedicated to him called "The Crusher", with lead singer Bob Nolan imitating the raunchy voice of Crusher Lisowski (and his trademark yell at the beginning of the record). The tune, which included the lyrics "Do the hammer lock, you turkeynecks!" was popular in the upper Midwest and made it to #88 on the national Billboard chart. It was later covered by The Cramps on their album Psychedelic Jungle. The song has received a resurgence of popularity in recent years, as David Letterman has often played it on his late-night talk show. The Ramones released "The Crusher" paying tribute to Lisowski on their last studio recorded album, Adios Amigos.

Zager & Evans - 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)

A few selected tracks from Zager & Evans - 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) - The title track was a hit in 1969 and as a youngin' i can remember it being played on the radio. Fast forward 40 years or so and now my own kids love it too! 2525 has been a car ride staple for years, so i picked this album up on the cheap for my son who now has his own record player and record collection. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If you've never heard the whole album i picked a few of my faves to give ya a taste.

As for 2525 here is the Wiki 411 if you need it:

"In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)" is a hit song from 1969 by the American pop-rock duo of Dennis Zager and Richard Evans. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks commencing July 12, 1969. The song was written and composed by Rick Evans in 1964 and originally released on a small regional record label (Truth Records) in 1968. A year later, an Odessa, Texas, radio station popularized the disc, which RCA Records quickly picked up for nationwide distribution.

"In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)" opens with the words "In the year 2525, If man is still alive, If woman can survive, They may find...". Subsequent verses pick up the story at 1010-year intervals from 2525 to 6565.[1] Disturbing predictions are given for each selected year. In the year 3535, for example, all of a person's actions, words and thoughts will be preprogrammed into a daily pill. Then the pattern as well as the music changes, going up a half step in the key of the song, after two stanzas, first from A flat minor, to A minor, and, then, finally, to B flat minor, and verses for the years 7510, 8510 and 9595 follow.
The song has no chorus. Amid ominous-sounding orchestral music, the final dated chronological verse is,

In the year 9595, I'm kinda wonderin' if Man is gonna be alive.
He's taken everything this old Earth can give, and he ain't put back nothin', whoa-whoa...,
The summary verse concludes:
Now it's been 10,000 years, Man has cried a billion tears,
For what, he never knew. Now man's reign is through.
But through eternal night, The twinkling of starlight.
So very far away, Maybe it's only yesterday.

The song goes back to the beginning, starting all over again, with 2525 before the song's fade.[1]
The overriding theme, of a world doomed by its passive acquiescence to and overdependence on its own overdone technologies, struck a resonant chord in millions of people around the world in the late 1960s.[2]
The song describes a nightmarish vision of the future as man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him. It includes a colloquial reference to the Second Coming (In the year 7510, if God's a-coming, He ought to make it by then.), which echoed the zeitgeist of the Jesus movement.

Legacy

It is unusual for a recording artist to have a number one hit and then never have another chart single. "In the Year 2525" actually gave Zager and Evans this status twice; they remain the only act to do this in both the U.S. and UK singles charts. Their follow up single on RCA-Victor, "Mr. Turnkey" (a song about a rapist who nails his own wrist to the wall as punishment for his crime), failed to hit the main music charts on either side of the Atlantic (although it did manage to make the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, peaking at #106).
The song has been covered at least 60 times in 7 different languages.[3] A notable version of In the Year 2525 is sung by the Italo-French pop singer, Dalida; another one by the UK new romantic group Visage;another one by Greek singer Takis Antoniadis in the 70s, another version was used as the theme song for the short-lived science fiction series Cleopatra 2525. It is also featured in both parts of the two-part second season finale of Millennium where a man-made virus is threatening to wipe out humanity.[4] The Slovenian industrial group Laibach edited the lyrics in their cover version to make it appropriate for 1994's NATO album. More recently, it was covered by the gothic rock band Fields of the Nephilim, by the electronic body music band Project Pitchfork (album Dhyani, 1991) and by Ian Brown on his 2009 album My Way.
