Messy, noisy swamp glam rock, fuck yeah! This is a greatest hits culled from 5 concept albums about pillars of soul Melvin Van Peebles, Albert Ayler, Patty Hearst, Marc Bolan & Yoko Ono. Androgynous glam vocals (it’s a man, baby!) over bluesy rock n roll.. maybe the bastard child of Bolan and Ono fronting the JSBX ? This set features mostly straight up rockers, but there’s a few trippy cultish chants thrown in to round it out. The best part is that this isn’t some hipster put-on (though it does seem that way at first).. don’t miss the history in the liner notes. A few FCCs scattered around, but they’re quick and fairly easy to cut out. *1. Rawk, one of the better songs – FCC: sez “motherfucker” around (-0:25) *2. More rockin about Yoko Ono 3. Strange psychedelic chant *4. Screaming rock – FCC: quick “fuck”around (-1:28) 5. Mellow barroom piano ballad *6. Swampy rocker with spoken breakdown *7. Ayler tribute in rock and roll 8. Straight rock with stream of consciousness lyrics 9. Trippy singalong, now drink your kool-aid. – FCC: quick “bullshit” in intro sample **10. All praise Yoko! *11. “Death to the fascist insects” around the campfire **12. Noisy epic 13. Strange late-night studio clatter – FCCs Ben B 7/20/04 | ||
