Alan Watts – "This Is IT" (MEA – LP 1007) 1962

With an album cover that looks like its made with the included graphic design software on your brand new Windows 98 PC, Alan shows us all how to empty rooms as well emptying the after-life with some truly horrible,but hilarious primal screaming,ecstatic chanting, and general middle class tomfoolery that would send your soul banging their ghostly fists  and screaming to be let in at the gates of Hell.Only to be informed that they were already there,and were victims of all that christian,Islamic,Jewish and Buddhist propaganda.The punchline being that the former underworld of eternal punishment was in fact the best place to be post-mortem.In other words This was NOT....IT!

Listening to the opening 'spontaneous musical happening', as Alan calls it, was indeed an experience of great joy on my part.So much so that i simply had to play it again.Hearing university drop outs, expunge all that middle class Caucasian guilt by speaking,or in this case shouting, in tongues to a tabla backbeat, is enough to make one trot along joyously to the nearest new age happening at the local community centre.As well as screaming like a lobotomized buffoon,you can keep one eye open watching your fellow inductees gurning and idiot dancing to a CD of indian percussion.Stifling the wrong kind of laughter.....that is unless they're watching you with one knowing eye open too of course.Which is better,because then you can go down the pub together afterwards and have another laugh.See you next week John?...er...yeah?

No spring chicken in the sixties,Alan Watts (RIP) sported a distinguished Guru look,that proved very successful with the ladies...so I am Told....but not surprised.This blog is full of tiresomely similar stories. I may start a cult....it's an earner,no work involved, and you get laid.....,no strings! What's not to like....oh yeah, the fucking awful music!

I have a trustafarian Belgian friend, who was the victim of some pretty horrific sexual abuse as a child,and he has tried everything new age that has been invented, or will be invented.He's done Ecstatic Dancing, Primal Scream,re-birthing, and south american 'shrooms;his favourite being the very popular fuck-up magnet,the 'Ayahuasca' experience. Suffice to say that all this has helped the flashbacks not one iota ,yet neither has conventional Psychiatry either,so the logical conclusion is to do neither but use the time honoured, and very unfashionable, male method of 'Not Talking About It'. Build a compartment in your mind ,put all the fucking rubbish in there and throw away the triggers.

So my answer to your mental torture is simply to compartmentalize,while playing idiotic proto-hippie nonsense like anything by Alan Watts,and cheer up for fuck's sake! You only live once....and its very short.

There was a box set called "The Essential Alan Watts",released after his migration to eternal paradise in 1973.

I think the word 'Essential' is some-watt un-essential in this context?

The other best track on here is "The End" by the way.

THE END.

CAMBRIC MILL - "Not For Cult Approval/The Rehearsal Tapes" (Pumf Records PUMF 812) 2020

 

Everyone likes a cult,especially the music of Cults.Of course I refer to the very Reverend and very dead, Jim Jones,Chuck Manson, and who can forget the great,and gratefully very dead,rockin' Jesus, David Koresh...among other manipulative sex abusers too numerous to mention.....ok I missed out the weirdest of the lot Sai Baba and I'm sorry.

In fact the main reason for joining a doomsday cult,or the new disciples of the latest incarnation of Jesus,is to make wacked out music with some genuine five star dysfunctional loony Toons. I'm sure that was at the top of the list for randy beatnik Father Yod,who used unhinged psychedelia to charm teenage ladies into their gods bed.......and i don't mean just to sleep either.The randy old cunt in a randy old cult is what he was, before crashing to the ground in a bizarre hang-gliding accident.He thought he was invincible and could fly....don't blame it on drugs pleeeeze,he was just a deluded twat with a Messiah complex is all.

No hang-gliders involved in the Cambric Mill story however,unless you can attribute the prefix 'bizarre' to over-indulgence in a cult member's Homebrew washed down with lashings of British pharmaceutical paracetamol. A very British mass suicide.......has anyone written a TV series called that? If not, then someone should. I guess the Homebrew was student strength British bitter ,and not the Jim Jones preferred communal brew of pure cyanide. I guess Jim didn't know that Paracetamol was so cheap at Wilko's, formerly Wilkinson's,and not anything to do with the actual god that is Wilko Johnson? You Europeans haven't lived until you visited Wilko's pharmaceutical section.....mix and match is recommended or they won't serve you at the tills.

Basically,as if you didn't know ,Cambric Mill are the Spinal Tap of Folky Industrial power Electronics with a hint of dr hook,and a smidgen of John Denver from just before his light aircraft crashed....apparently Not into a Rocky Mountain High after all it seems.A livid John Denver fan corrected me on that point...rather tersely I may add.....over liberal use of the word 'Cunt' ...Tut tut tut!The world's full of nutters innit?

Nearly every band I've been in have been conceptual bands,and self-mythologizing is part and parcel of such projects,alongside not being able ,or bothered to learn how to play an instrument properly....fuck that! That's for Americans and similar types.

None of these people, along with John Stumpy Pepys,Joe Mama Besser, Mick Shrimpton of Spinal Tap,are actually dead,nor even spontaneously combusted, they're just having a laugh and playing some nutty music,not unlike the stuff that came out of Father Yods gaff in Hawaii...except this comes from somewhere around gloomy old Blackpool......I am guessing that living members of The Ceramic Hobs could well be responsible for this lovely package on the prolific,and suitably cheap, Pumf Records.

The story/myth is that the band who spent so long rehearsing their new sound which they called 'Industrial Folk Power Electronics" - before tragically committing group suicide in a homebrew death cult ritual prior to even playing a gig!?....also sounds like all the bands I've been in too!?

For many years, there were rumors (pretends ones) circulating around that there were rehearsal tapes of a never heard group called Cambric Mill, and finally pStan Batcow of Pumf Records somehow got his hands on the original recordings,probably because he made them, and released it on CD.This is that CD....but I ain't allowed to share it 'cus it's for sale at Pumpf Records for the nominal transfer of a single lady Godiva into pStan's back bin. If it was on Vinyl On Demand or cash driven collector bastards like that,I would certainly share it....even in FLAC!....but, No, Pumf Records and their contributors are the real DIY thing,and get Zchivago's Seal of approval....I dunno where he is,probably off in the oceans chomping down some fish....the Seal not your author you berk! I call him 'Barky' by the way if you're interested.....

Now where's me Home Brew?

Afflicted Man ‎– "The Complete Recordings" (1979-82)

Being Christian is some kind of psychological illness,but then again it has lots of stuff in common with Punk Rock. All encapsulated in the classic ,but fractured outsider punk personality of Steve Hall.

Both Dogma's are full of glaring conradictions,which has their High-Priests muttering wildly opposite statements,although I've yet to hear of a Punk Rock Pedophile as of yet...there's still time.

Joke time.....Q.What's the difference between Acne and a Priest?

A. Acne doesn't cum on yer face before you're Twelve.

Funny huh?

Yeah the morally repugnant Steve Hall embdies the most dramatic shift of polar opposites since Saul turned into Paul on the road to Damascus. If the same journey was made today Paul would have certainly been tranformed, not into a Saint, but into smoldering body parts as he triggers an Improvised Explosive device left there by Islamic State operatives several years hence.

Oh,yes. Mr Afflicted turned from a violent,Nazi flag waving,obnoxious,beer swilling drug and glue abuser.......as in a tabloid newspaper's idea of what a Punk Rocker was, and Steve indeed lived out these  press headlines to the letter;......into a meek and mild Born again Christian. He shifted from 'Punks Not Dead' to 'Jesus' Not Dead' in a matter of hours after chancing upon a devious God Squadder in his squat, banging on about how to let Jesus in your heart.

Here's Hall's version of  how Hall turned into Paul, literally, on the road to the 100 Club for the last time:

"My brother was talking to a guy at the time," he recalls, "who was sharing to him about the Lord Jesus Christ. I asked this bloke, 'Come on, how do you get this Jesus anyway?', in the kind of way that made it look like I didn't care. But deep down I was interested, because no one could help me out and I was desperate for help. He just said to me that Jesus could live in your heart. And I was riding up the road on the motorbike after that just saying, 'If you're there Jesus...' It was a matter, like it is for all of us, of just taking that first step, and once I had I'd never felt anything like it. I really felt God come into my heart and my life and that's what made me cry. It made me burst into tears, I just could not believe what was going on."

Now don't go getting any idea's you lot! I know how impressionable you "The Public" are.....and bloody dangerous too. A the drop of a pay rise, or a compliment you lot can vote in a Hitler or a moron(Trump),or,as in the case of the British,be the only electorate in UK History to vote away Freedom as in Brexit,and Freedom of Movement!

We can also turn into blinkered religious idiots at the mere mention of our mortality.

Maybe Steven was always looking for a Religion,and found it in Punk Rock.The only downpoint was that Punk didn't offer eternal life,no matter wat Wattie (of the Exploited) says.

Luckily Afflicted Man never sang about Jesus,for good reason,as ALL religious pop is appaling....but also funny if its done correctly.

More in the David Koresh school for twisted morals than Handel's Messiah.Christianity should definitely stick with Classical music, and leave 'pop' alone.

Afflicted Man's music is classic DIY Outsider Punk,recorded and released on a shoestring budget,often presented to the world in a candystriped Sweetie bag,the kind that you got your Pick'n'Mix in from Woolworths.His songs’ reliance on repetition have as much to do with the limits of one man’s taste and abilities, along with the studio capabilities of the times, as any sort of applied aesthetics(I didn't write that bit).Anyway, his incredibly rare records feature an impressive talent-stretching cornucopia of sounds, from one chord punk to PiL-type dub noise to glue-fuelled psychedelia, with Get Stoned Ezy (1982) a jaw dropping display of zero-budget production and incompetent guitar freakouts;and we all love that inadvised marriage don't we?

As for live shows:

Hall said: "We had a bit of a political following that I don't really like to mention too much... a Nazi British Movement following. It was our fault a bit, because we got ourselves a following and we just thought 'let's run with this.' I guess we did that because we had no morals really, in one sense, and so we went down that road."

Again he had an uncontrolled need to belong to a religious movement,even though he was obviously the Doubting Thomas of the British Nazi Movement....but as I've mentioned before...Nazi's are Funny......in fact so are Christians......er...and 'Punx' for that matter.

Stevie fills us in on the end of his Punk career:

It wasn't long before he realised that there was no chance that the two lives could co-exist. "At the end of the day I got born again," he says, matter-of-fact, "and I tried to witness to the rest of them, but they didn't want to know. Then I just felt God pulling me out. I played the 100 Club and I was looking across the audience, jumping all over the place, and I just thought, 'What am I doing here?'(Yeah I've been there myself JZ) I came out of there and I didn't go back." Moments later, God began to hit Hall with heavy doses of grace and mercy. "After that I got married,and we had three lovely daughters. At least the God Delusion seemed to save him from his obvious mental crisis,as he admits..."Being saved took me away from the whole drugs scene and the punk music and I really came into Christianity in a full way. I was baptised in the Holy Spirit and started to do God's work.".......fucking hell!.....

Well, i'll help Steve doing God's work, and give his music away for free.Jesus would certainly approve,and maybe even have liked the music too?....notice the use of the past tense in reference to Steven's personal saviour?...if you didn't, you need saving....Please Jesus save us from your followers.

Bill Dana & Joey Forman ‎– "The Mashuganishi Yogi" ( A&M Records ‎– SP-4144) 1968

What happens when some kind of movement,be it from the bowels or a tribe of subversive youths, threatens the very fabric of the establishment? Well, first they(Whoever 'they' are?) feed the fear of the moral majority, then, when those fires are well and truly stoked, they turn it into a joke.
Turning on, Tuning in, and ,worst of all, dropping out, if enacted upon by enough people, would mean the end of the capitalist system.
As much as the many aspects of 'Hippie' were hypocritical, patriarchal and frankly, sexist as fuck;it was the closest any of these 'movements' have come to dislodging the accepted order.
Queue Joey Forman and Bill Dana, two barely known second rate comediens to thoroughly take the Piss out of the easiest stuff to take the piss out of. Agents of the state no doubt,but nonetheless, slightly amusing agents of the state.
The religious aspects of Hippie were as big a danger to its members than the 'free love' concept was for female freedom of choice. So anything that ridicules this great evil is okay by me.

Lite Storm ‎– "God Is Love" (Beverly Hills ‎– BH 1136) 1973

I fear we must return briefly to Religious Exploitation,but with a psychedelic flavour, with this tribute to Christ reincarnation and kiddie fiddler, Sai Baba.(Checkout one of his fabulousy creepy albums HERE!)
What did Kali Bahlu do after her supremely child-like psychsploitation album "Cosmic Remembrance"? You have no doubt been asking yourself? After much tossing and turning at night, Sai Baba sent me the answer from the child abusers Hell he now finds his soul trapped in.
Kali Bahlu, or Kallasu Wintergate,was in a Psychedelic Xian duo with her husband John Wintergate or Johnima .P Bahlu, called 'Lite Storm' ,stupid!
I think they like Sai Baba.....a lot. What their thoughts on said cult leader today are not known;but they've dedicated a whole album dedicated to praising this now deceased God on earth,complete with Afro.

Here are the Bahlu's with their god,dunno where Sai Baba's hands are? Watch out Kali,who's on the left,and her hubby,on the right, bares more than a passing resemblance to Jesus H. Christ. Sai Baba, centre,looks a bit like Kevin Keegan during the Hamburg years.

Kali, at least seems to have matured as a singer since the 'Cosmic Rembrance' album,and is far less irritating on this outing.If you can see pass the obvious madness, this is actually a pleasantly weird record by this folky twosome.Oh they're soooooo 'Happy'!?
Om Shanti.

Kali Bahlu ‎– "Takes the Forest Children on a Journey of Cosmic Remembrance" (World Pacific Records ‎– WPS-21875) 1967

Kali gets a telephone call from Buddha(pronounced 'Boodah'), who is drinking coffee, and she exclaims excitedly that "BUDDHA drinks COFFEE?!"......one among many startling revelations about the speedily oncoming 'After-Life'.

Kali believes that if you're 'good' you'll get to live again as a pretty butterfly or a Bird of Paradise.....a grave pity then that the insect population, butterflys in paticular are 80% down due to 'Bad' human activity, and Birds of Paradise are verging on extinction for the very same reasons.Maybe its because Humans are soooo naughty that they aren't being reincarnated as Butterflys any more, except Kali of course, and its therefore a savage circle spiraling into nothingness.

There are still lots of silly Hippies like Kali who comfort themselves with wet philosophies like this diluted version of Buddhism,where everything's going to be fine, and NO,we're not all just biological machines waiting for the Off switch to be flicked by mother nature. Its a comforting thought that we may be reincarnated as a fluffy bunny wabbit,but the reality is, sadly, that you'll be munched down as food by a passing Fox the minute your fluffy head raises above the surface.As for being reincarnated as a higher human,there must be a massive queue in the waiting zone for your assigned higher form of sentient Human, because there are more people alive right now than have ever lived.....so much for the one in one out theory of rebirth.

None of this enters the fluffy dream world of Kali Bahlu, whoever she was,or is now; spoken in the voice of a slightly sarchastic sounding little girl,or, childrens TV presenter, backed up with shimmering sitars and special effects.
The lyrics of her infantile peons to the after-life make a primary school girls creative writing classes recollections of 'What I did On My Holidays' seem almost Shakesperian in their comparative complexity.

Dr. Timothy Leary ‎– "You Can Be Anyone This Time Around" (Douglas ‎– 1) 1970

Astro-biologists, philosophers, priests, healers, observers of the fleshly heavens and cosmic dancers dig this recording Pressed to wax in the Age of Aquarius, Dr. Leary's psychedelic monologue "What Do You Turn On When You Turn On?" identifies our brains as "the galactic headquarters of the nervous system" and the locus of all social transformation.

Yes, you can be anything this time around.....mostly a drugged up arsehole or sectioned in a secure mental institution.Grim reality sounds real fun doesn't it kids?

This features the one and only Jimi Hendrix on track one side one,and its probably the fourth best album that he appeared on.

Douglas Records has a valid argument for being the first 'Rap' label,with The Last Poets,Lenny Bruce and the psychedelic white Rap miester that is Dr. Timothy Leary Ph.D.....(a great Rap alias or what?)....all on the label in 1970. 

A record that doubled as the coffin lid closing on the sixties.

Dr. Timothy Leary ‎– "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" (Mercury ‎– SR 61131) 1967

You've heard the record,read the book,seen the lecture? Well now we have the Movie of your journey into personal disaster and irreparable mental breakdown.
Drop some pharmaceutical grade LSD and listen to this soundtrack of the movie version of a 'Trip',with your guide Dr. Timothy Leary, and you may never come back.A chance to escape the prison of 'self', and live out the rest of your mortal tenure in cloud cuckoo land.
Your Brain is a delicate organ,and evidentially speaking,its nothing more than that.Not the slightest hint has there been of eternal portals into the kingdom of God,travels in space time, or Intelligence increase? Alternatively Plenty of evidence exists of irreparable damage to ones mental faculties.There's a long list of sixties psychedelic pioneers,or victims, who became nothing more than Human craters ,not because their souls have left to a celestial paradise,but because their synapses have been irreversably fried.
Don't do it kids,the scouting party of the sixties did it,and the reports that came back were not encouraging.
Great super weird records were the result, of which this masterpiece of Psychsploitation, is one of the weirdest.

Bobby Beausoleil ‎– "Dancing Hearts Afire" (Sagittarius A-Star ‎– SAS #33) 2013

Another Bobby Beausoleil new age space rock epic in the style of a low budget Dave Gilmore on Mogadon.
One can't help but have images in ones mind of Bob, shut away in his prison cell surrounded by mail order electronics,gurning as he makes the strings on his lovingly polished electric guitar singalong to the impecably programmed digital backing track.
It does have all the hallmarks of a retired geezers anti-alzheimers hobby to keep his mind active in old age.A sort of a musical Sudoku.
The difference between this and the retired hippy spunking his pension on music tech, is that Bob knew Chuck Manson,and murdered someone, so people have enough passing interest to buy it,and maybe even listen to half of side A.....but, as mentioned previously, it breaks the ice at parties!?
The music does have a certain artificial sadness,like a soundtrack to a wasted life that had so much potential.Played as he waits to end his existence in Jail.
However, he seems to have led quite a full life as an inmate.Creating Film soundtracks, marrying at least twice, and fathering four children!???.....this ain't like no Jail I've ever heard of!? Only Manson himself has released more albums,although his official children have either commited suicide or are in hiding;and Manson's music is clearly an inferior beast altogether.

Bobby Beausoleil ‎– "Dreamways Of The Mystic" (White Dog Music ) 2005

Bobby Beausoleil's New Age Ambient Prog concept album seems to last as long as he's been in Jail.Like one of those post-Roger Waters Pink Floyd albums,but without the tunes.
If you're an old Hippie dabbling in the pseudo-spiritual with a readily available darkened room at hand, then this will take you on a trip into the wasted life of Bobby B.
Thanks, or otherwise, to progressive prison governors, Robert spends all his spare time....of which I assume there is plenty in the Big House.....making masses of this New Age space rock on his GM synth modules and computers. It's very programmed,rather like the kids in The Manson Family, and the factory synth sounds have a familiar late nineties ring to them.
Remember when you got your first GM synth module,and got excited by the multitude of sound possibilities,only to find out everyone had the same noises,then binned it off for proper synthesisers with knobs on?...well this is before Bobby realised every ex-hippie and his granny were making the same New Age nonsense.
The difference is that this was made by ,if not a member, an associate of The Manson Family,and he's been in the Slammer for nigh on fifty years. So there's a misplaced ingredient of tragic romance in there that make this double CD something more than a couple of coasters for your coffee table. This one may even be left out alongside your John Coltrane CD's as a conversation starter for your wine tasting evening.

Bobby Beausoleil ‎– "Voodoo Shivaya" (The Ajna Offensive ‎– flame101) 2018

Another recording artist resident in a California State Correctional Facility, is former Manson Family member and Murderer, Bobby Beausoleil. Who is the third artist to be featured on this blog who was sentenced to death. This was commuted to life imprisonment,which it seems Bobby is doomed to see out a full term and die in prison. He was accepted for Parole earlier this year, but the State Governor denied this recommendation.....probably due to his Manson connections.
Manson told Beausoleil to kill, friend and fellow Manson associate Gary Hinman, and to make it look as if the crime had been committed by Black revolutionaries, as part of his ideology that a race war was imminent and part of what he called "Helter Skelter".It got weirder,as Beausoleil stabbed Hinman to death while Hinman was repeating a Buddhist chant.After Hinman, was dead Bob wrote the words "Political piggy" on a wall in Hinman's blood.
As the parole board said:
"On January 3, 2019, a panel of commissioners of the California Board of Parole recommended that Beausoleil be freed on parole.In recommending parole, the panel cited Beausoleil's youthful offender status as being in mitigation to the severity of the crime and stated that during his nearly half-century of incarceration he had devoted himself to creativity and pro-social growth, gradually maturing into a person exhibiting compassion and empathy."
The Tate family cited the fact that Beausoleil had been illegally profiting from selling his music while in prison.
So to help Bobby's defence,as I'm sure some of you Manson worshippers would like to, you can download his works here for nothing.
This is Bobby's latest work,a kind of a new age version of The Blues.The kind of music that David Lynch would love to have in his TV Series or Movies,if he hasn't used any of Beausoleil's work already. Our Bobby has a history working on soundtracks for dodgy directors in his past, notably Kenneth Anger's 'Lucifer Rising' before and after he was banged up for life.

Here's Bobby in his harsh prison conditions.It must be Hell!?

Charles Manson ‎– "A Taste Of Freedom" (Copperhead Music CD-r) 2001

This is a bunch of recorded phone conversations between Charles Manson and a useful idiot friend. Hear our favourite illiterate lunatic speak on Christian and Muslim interactions, the Holy Spirit, world peace and more. Recorded in late 1990 and early 2000, it is a window into the timeless,pointless world of Charles Manson.
If there was one thing that Charles Manson was good at, it was talking complete nonsense to any willing victim who was stupid enough to listen.He couldn't read or write but he certainly could speak.He could even be credited with inventing white Rap?
Ironically it seems he believed in God almost as much as his own luminescence.
This is my personal favourite Manson record,mainly because I like the ramblings of bored deluded lunatics, and automated messages,like the ones that keep interrupting the conversations,such as: "This call comes from an inmate in a California State Correctional Facility"
As it says in the liner notes:
"At times startling in the lucidity of their depth, but still warm and casual these conversations touch on many subjects including the American Civil War, raising children, surviving on the land, world peace, ecology and Charlie's own personal history. These dialogues open an unbridged window into the thoughts and feelings of perhaps the most important figure of the post modern era. Charles Manson, unfiltered and unfettered by media interpretation or presentation speak to the humanity within us all.".....er....yeah!?

Charles Manson ‎– "All The Way Alive" (People's Temple Records ‎– PT133) 2003

Studio recordings recorded on 9/11 1967 by the,then recently released rather than recently deceased jailbird and instant Hippie that became known as Charles Manson.This is his Black album,or at least,and more accurately, his 'Smell The Glove'.
Manson seemed to come out of prison aged 33 as a fully formed Hippie,talking the talk and walking the walk,like he was playing a role of a 'Hippie' in a Dirty Harry movie. This is how he had spent his former existence, taking on roles to manipulate situations to his own advantage. No-one seemed to notice he was over a decade older than any other Hippie at Haight-Ashbury, and silly middle class fools enthusiastically fell at his feet, basically because the Beatles were otherwise engaged.
"Hey, I write songs man", said the hip looking sexual predator at the party. "Wanna Listen?".....er no, but he whips out his Acoustic and plays the fuckers anyway.
Thats the kind of fool Chuck Manson was in 1967,and as always happens, young lost girlies swooned.
These recordings were made when Charlie was slightly less demented,and less of a Gobshite,and hadn't consumed enough LSD to believe he was Jesus yet,or as he so eloquently put it the 'Son of Man'.
He also hadn't yet inspired his drugged up followers to slaughter innocent persons to start the race war that would lead to himself taking power after the blacks fuck it up......this was actually his genius plan!? Helter Skelter maaaaaaan!......what a deranged tit, maaaaaaaaan!
The interview from these sessions reveal the nascent Gobshite that we all know and,if you're smart,dispise.
He does actually speak the kind of jumbled bullshit that a modern Jesus would say;so maybe he was the second coming after all.Thank fuck we didn't execute him after all, or we'd all be walking round with a mini gas chamber hanging on a chain round our necks,worshipping the 'Son of Man'........some of these fuckers do actually exist now as we speak.

Charles Manson ‎– "Commemoration" (White Devil Records ‎– WDCD 3 10666 2) 1994

For fear of starting a new murder cult in praise of George Best lookalike, Charles Manson. Here's one of his most coherant and listenable recordings, made at the Vacaville Medical Facility.
There are some slightly unhinged moments where he appears to be losing it somewhat.Lots of sweary words and suggestions of innocence.Y'know the usual martyr somplex that populate such secure mental facilities.
So if you're one of those suggestable flowers who would welcome Charles Manson as your new personal saviour, and kill for him, look away now.
This collection of Manson's nut house recordings,made between sept 1982 and sept 1984,was put together by yawn-some apologists called Michael M. Jenkins, and James Mason.
Like Manson, they think he is some kind of Philosopher and freedom fighter,a prisoner of war(!?),they say in the hilarious liner notes, and was fitted up by the iluminati to silence his truth.
Ironically this is subtitled 'Commemorating Sixty Years Of Struggle Against Cowardice, Stupidity And Lies.'. The cowardice being why Manson got others to do his killing for him. The lies being everything that comes out of his rancid pie-hole that never seems to stop talking.....primarily about himself,and,of course 'Them'.
The Stupidity, must refer to his inability to understand that to be guilty of conspiracy to murder doesn't necessarily require you to be present at the scene of the crime. The source of his catchphrase of Dude "I didn't Kill Anybody" Maaaaan! And even more stupider because he was placed at the scene of the LaBianca murders, at which he even re-tied the victims because his followers hadn't tethered them together properly enough for Charlie.Duh! 

"Manson's struggle is for Life;not human life but Life Itself!"(Michael M Jenkins aka Twat!)

Charles Manson ‎– "The Way Of The Wolf" (Pale Horse Incorporated ‎– PH0013) 1999

The thing about hippie with guitar music, is that you're supposed to listen to the words maaaaan,listen to the wooooooorrrrdddddddsssss!
Certainly Chuck thought of himself as a philospher and a poet, but its just sounds like a jumble of confused nonsense to me......don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with confused nonsense, in fact I love confused nonsense maaaaaaaaan. As long as the purveyor of such nonsense doesn't think he's Shakespeare ,Plato and Che Guevara combined. Which Charlie ,being a mentalist with delusions of grandeur, does...or,did, being dead'n'all mutherfuckers!
Nearly everything Charlie Maddox says or sings has one wondering what the Fuck is he going on about!?
Of course, his 'fans' will say 'that's because its way above your head maaaaaaaaan.Too deep for your mother fucking mind to comprehend'. I dig that Manson is against the man maaaaan, and their system maaaaan, and an environmentalist as well as just a mentalist.That's why he uses the paranoids catchphrase 'They' a lot when he tries to explain who his imaginary enemy is. 'They' being the 'Man' and other obvious forces of oppression.
I very proud to say that 'I ain't Cool' to this garbage,but the environmental kick is something everybody should be into, even cult leaders or mass murderers.
This album contains more Manson Music and some bonus conversation recorded on cassette in jail in the 1980s, and smuggled out to sell to useful idiots like me.It's just interesting to get an insight into the mind of a maniac,and a peek into the prison existence of a lifer.The banality of the 'Prison Coversation' that concludes this collection,is intruiging.The phrase, 'The Banality Of Evil' was used to describe Adolf Eichmann,but it can easily be applied to Charles Manson also;but what else does one do during ones incarceration?
I notice he talks about 'The Ranch' a lot.If only he didn't conspire to kill innocent people and start a race war he would still have been on his ranch,playing his chugging hippie folk tunes to adoring dumb young ladies and even dumber males.
But whats certain is that no-one would have ever heard his music,or even his name outside of 'the Ranch', not even The MAN, maaaaaan.

Charles Manson ‎– "Saints Are Hell On Earth" (TPOS ‎– TPOS 032) 1988

At the vast expense of the American taxpayer, we bring you the despicable Charles Manson feeding his ego and still commiting heinous crimes against music, while encarcerated in an American correctional facility. Not that he ever did, but he never had to work again,while at the same time still chase his dream of being a pop star......well,at least to be an unpopular star,which he undoubtedly is.
Recorded in 1985 in San Quentin Prison, California.The sleeve notes state that this recording was recorded under imperfect conditions and had to be smuggled out and that technical limitations are quite apparent.

Manson, nee Maddox,probably saw himself as a repressed anti-social artist who has been jailed to stop his messages of revolution spreading dissent across the civilised world; like a scummy Plastic People Of The Universe, but without the talent or the right.

What right this creepy twerp had to even have a guitar in the big house is as crazed as one of his frequent demented telephone monologues to local radio stations.Especially as the authorities knew what crimes he was capable of with such a blunt instrument in his hands.

These eleven wobbly country flavoured peons to himself,with a constant backing of murmuring inmates, are among some of the strongest arguments for the reintroduction of the death penalty I have yet heard.

Charles Manson ‎– "LIE: The Love And Terror Cult" (Awareness Records ‎– 2144) 1970

Under instructions from old jailbird buddy Charles Manson, Phil Kaufman released this album of songs by everyone's least favourite Hippie as chuck awaited trial.
The cover is a parody of 'Life' magazine's edition on the Manson murders......who says Hippies don't have a sense of Humour?
This kind of smug long haired protest folk is the best argument i have heard yet that Manson should have been executed without trial,preferably beaten to death with an acoustic guitar.
As for the turds who have recorded numerous cover versions of these shit songs, like probably the worst carbunkle on the arse of pop themselves, Guns'n'Roses, and other lesser twats; I hope your exceedingly crap back catalogues 'Cease to Exist',just as your counter-cultural hero has.
"People Say I'm No Good" warbles Manson.Probably the most accurate phrase he ever uttered.
The sad thing is that if some record company man had said this stuff was good,fed his pathetic ego,and signed him up, Sharon Tate,her baby and the other victims would still be alive,mirroring Hitlers rejection from Vienna's School of Art.
Somewhere in Hell there's a super group with David Koresh on lead Guitar and Vocals, Charles Manson lead Vocals and Rythm guitar, with The People's Church Choir providing the backing.....now that would really be a Hell to be truly feared.Especially if they were doing an endless medley of U2 and Guns'n'Roses obscure B-sides!!!!!?

The Manson Family ‎– "The Manson Family Sings The Songs Of Charles Manson" ( TPOS ‎– TPOS 084) 1970

What has the world possibly got against Hippies?
The answer is right here on this joyful run through of some of Chuck's greatest, non-murderous, Hits.
Charles,himself doesn't appear on this one as he had other engagements at the time.......he was in Prison.
So,what we have here are the dumbasses who made up Manson's family of middle class misfits.
Hippie culture was the perfect vehicle for horny manipulators to get young ladies into bed and get the superfluous males to procure more young ladies and kill for them if needed.
Manson thought of himself as some kind of musical genius,and the evidence is here, and on other recordings, that he certainly was absolutely not.
He was, However, an esteemless short-arse who grabbed the opportunity of 'Free love and Flower power' to form a group of worshippers that made lickle Charlie feel good about himself,'cus he never had proper mummy and daddy......ahhhh, poor Charlie.

A1 Ra-Hide Away!

Alex Sanders ‎– "A Witch Is Born" (A&M Records ‎– AMLS 984) 1970

"Alex Sanders is the most powerful witch in Britain. Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient Craft."...it says here.

He's the bloke on the cover who looks like a former homeless alcoholic who's moved on from begging for small change outside Sainsburys to taking his clothes off to initiate attractive young women."

Luckily, we don't get to see Alex full frontal, as he conducts the ceremony in sound only, with totally inappropriate lush string sections singing merrily in the background, chugging out Wagners 'Ride  Of the Valkyries', like a binned episode of 'The Onedin Line'.Up front is the hilarious whispering commentary by Stewart Farrar as if he was describing a Royal wedding, or a Snooker match.

Sanders: "Blessed be thy Breasts formed in Beauty"

Farrar: "He kisses the left Breast and the Right Breast"!?

Yep, religions are all invented by dirty old men alright.

The naked young woman called Janet(? the witch?) then gets tied up and lashed by the the nude former-pisshead. I think i'm going to be sick....just check out those pictures on the cover,like a Wiccan copy of Health and Efficiency magazine.

This ceremony is soooooo old and ancient that,like the Bible and God, the Wiccan tribes spoke in 16th century Shakespearian English.

God and his counterparts was seemingly very English.

Barbara, The Gray Witch ‎– "Barbara, The Gray Witch". (DEA Records ‎– 1D-1001) 1970

I could have sworn that was Mick Ronson on the cover, but no,I was very much mistaken, its a Gray Witch called Barbara, or is it pronounced Brabrah? The Gay Witch???
Phwoooarrrrr....'Witchcraft has never looked better' it says, maybe Brabra should change her name to The Bottle Blonde Witch, to suit her Prostitute Chic image....very saucy.....or should I say, sorcery?
Brabrah is exploting her cheap sexuality to lure dunbass men, like a Sex Worker Pied Piper, to the black arts, or in this case, the Gray Arts, and I don't mean to take part in a pensioners painting class.
Of course, Gray witches are a balance between White Witches,or 'Good'Witches, and Black Witches,which are, predictably,'Evil' Witches.
Anyway,these very very ordinary people aren't really Witches, they just say they are to make them feel 'special', to enhance their low self-esteems.Its all rather silly in fact. Especially 'Cool' witches like the lovely Brabrah.
Music-wise, there are a few strange songs scattered between Brabrah's hip-witch talk that seem to have an early electronic score by Stockhausen as a backing track.Rather good I have to say.....or have I been bewitched by Brabrah's dulcet tones,or wicked spells?
Yes mistress,I'll give it Four pentagrams out of Five for effort.Now... GET OUT OF MY MIIIIIIINNNNNDDDDDDD!!!!!!
