..according to the Fuzz,acid and flowers book by Vernon Joynson....

Thank you.

Wow, i'm impressed, "Fuzz,acid and flowers". Nice addition to your collection.

My only exposure to them is "I don't care" and "The Big Beat Country Dance" from "Diggin' for Gold, Vol. 1".

Well and the clip you just posted

Not very obscure for my standards, but Rowland S. Howard(RIP) of the Birthday Party and Lydia Lunch of Teenage Jesus were perfect together.

The latter being an Alice Pooper cover.

With a name like Thors Hammer, I expected some sort of black metal haha.

 

[Minus]

Lydia Lunch doing Black Juju, that is curious.

yeah there's some amazing stuff on them 'diggin' for gold' comps..speaking of which I recently bought the 'fuzz,flaykes and shakes' series which also peppered with gems!

sorry black metal isn't my field..the closest to that sound I get is Carcass and Autopsy

The Calico wall-I'm a living sickness

Living with you people yet apart within my soul
You can see me when I'm walking for I'm here but yet I'm not
And I'm sick of the world people - so groove them if you want
Cause I'm a living sickness
Sick with just myself
So groove along your straight line
I'll hang onto myself
And I'll never let go
No no no no no no no no

Being an old folk song there are probably other old versions of it around.

Dave Van Ronk tells a story about writing an arrangement for the song which he would play in his concerts and intended to record on one of his albums. He seemed a little upset to find that his friend Dylan took his arrangement without asking and recorded it on his first album in 62. He seemed concerned that people would think that he stole it from Dylan. The Animals released the song around 64 and that became big. Ronk must have felt that the arraignment was close enough to his that people started thinking that Dylan stole it from the Animals. Anyway he would laugh over that.

^^^ wow, quite a story :/

I only just recently started getting into them (and a lot of the bigger names of post-rock in general), but it is good to hear they have gotten back together.

I'm loving the hell out of this album at the moment.
