Der Fuehrer's Face

Found this interesting piece of sheet music at an estate sale.

The Kult - No Home Today / Mister Number One

Year: 1969

Country: UK

Here is another outstanding group that only released one 45 RPM single. This is truly a psychedelic rock masterpiece. I don't think this one has been reissued but I recently saw an original copy of this single sell for nearly $150. Click here to listen.

The Riders Of The Mark - The Electronic Insides And Metal Complexion That Make Up Herr Doktor Krieg / Gotta Find Somebody

Year: 1967

Country: USA

Here is another fantastic group that only released one 45 RPM single. Both songs are outstanding and definately among my favorites. I don't think there is a reissue available and I've never seen a copy for sale but I'm sure it would be very pricey to obtain this rare single. Click here to listen.

The Apple-Glass Cyndrom - Going Wrong / Someday

Year: 1969

Country: USA

As far as I know, this group's sole release was this 45 RPM single. I saw an original copy of this single sell for over $350 recently but luckily there is a Sundazed reissue available at a much lower price. You'll probably want a copy of this fuzzy garage psych monster as soon as you hear it. Click here to listen.

Best George Bush Speech Ever

Dan Deacon

I have been a big fan of Dan Deacon's music since first listening to his latest album Spiderman of the Rings. His music could probably be classified easiest as experimental but I have read some articles where his music is called future shock. I recently attended one of his live shows and I have to say it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. He interacts with the audience and gets everybody dancing. Pretty much any dance goes. Below I have posted by album direct links from Dan Deacon's website for nearly all of his earlier works. I highly recommend purchasing his latest album Spiderman of the Rings as well as his DVD Ultimate Reality which actually has a warning on the case that the content may cause seizures. Click here to visit Dan Deacon's website.

Copernicus - Immediate Eternity

Year: 2001

Country: USA

My friend Steve found this one day when we were browsing around at a local used CD store. Based mainly on the weird cover, he thought it was worth a gamble for $1. We listened to it immediately afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed this weird album. Seems to me this music fits right in on this blog. Definately worth a listen if you have never heard this.

Year: 1953

You may have noticed from my blog that I like a lot of weirdos, especially when it comes to music. Moondog is no exception as I was floored the first time I listened this EP. I could hardly believe music like this existed in 1953. Click here to listen.

Cityscape

Hasil Adkins

If you are not familiar with Hasil Adkins you should click here to read some good biographical information. Besides that I have posted 4 great albums of music that I would recommend checking out. If you listened to the Rockabilly Psychosis & the Garage Disease album I posted previously then you heard his song She Said. That song alone made me want to hear more of his music.

Hasil Adkins - What The Hell Was I Thinking?

Year: 1998

Country: USA

Here is a collection of songs sometimes more restrained than his earlier works but still performed solo and featuring some great rockabilly, blues, country madness. Click here to listen.

Hasil Adkins - Poultry In Motion

Year: 2000

Country: USA

So Hasil Adkins was apparently somewhat obsessed with chicken. This album is a compilation of all the tracks he recorded that feature chicken as the main subject. Click here to listen.

Hasil Adkins - Chicken Walk

Year: 1986

Country: USA
Here is another collection of lo-fi rockabilly tracks recorded by the man himself. I believe these were all recorded in the 1950's - 1960's era. Lot's of good stuff on this album. Click here to listen.

Hasil Adkins - Out To Hunch

Year: 1986

Country: USA

This album features a collection of 1950's - 1960's solo tracks that were recorded in his West Virginia shack. Click here to listen.

Clock

Unknown - Unknown

Here is an interesting album of some cool instrumental psychedelia by an unknown artist. Found this one online awhile back & never did find out who made this album. It sounds like it could be 1960's & it is a good listen similar to albums posted here previously. If anyone knows anything about this album please don't hesitate to post a comment. Click here to listen.

The Monks

The Monks were a group of 5 American GIs stationed in Germany in the mid-1960's. They began as The 5 Torquays and evolved into The Monks. Their lone album, Black Monk Time, is in my opinion one of the best of the 1960's. Below this post is nearly everything Monks that there is to be found. I do not have the live album "Let's Start A Beat!" so I would greatly appreciate it if anyone out there has that album available to share please post a link here.

The Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback

Various Artists - Silver Monk Time - A Tribute To The Monks

In recent years there has been a sort of Monks revival as more people discover the gems they left behind. This various artists compilation is testament to that fact & features modern artists performing Monks covers. Has some cool moments but not as good as Black Monk Time. Click CD1 & CD2 to listen.

The Monks - Live In Minnesota (2006)

The Monks - Black Monk Time

Year: 1966

Country: Germany
This is the lone studio album released by The Monks. If you have never heard this album I highly recommend checking it out now. Also, there is a good amount of information to be found about the band online if you want to know more about them. I loved this album from the first time I heard it and I still feel the same way after many, many more listens. Click here to listen.

The Monks - Five Upstart Americans

Year: 1965

Country: Germany

This album contains mainly demos that eventually became Black Monk Time. It would probably be best to listen to that album before hearing this one. I think they definately improved upon the demo versions heard here mainly by removing the lengthy organ intros. Click here to listen.
