Ginny Arnell |
Dumbhead
![]() |
Meet Ginny Arnell | LP | "S&M Girl Singers: Ginny Arnell was a little more like Lesley Gore, but what an angle on the world; her most famous line is "I'm a Dumbhead, Dumbhead, Stupid Little Girl ... Won't somebody beat my head against the wall?" - Jello | 0:00:16 (Pop-up) | |
Ginny Arnell |
I Wish I Had a Dress To Wear
![]() |
Meet Ginny Arnell | LP | "Another low-self esteem "classic" is "I Wish I Knew What Dress to Wear" -- even though she knows nobody will dance with her at the prom." - Jello | 0:02:35 (Pop-up) | |
Dion McGregor |
Val
![]() |
The Dream World Of Dion McGregor (He Talks In His Sleep) | LP | "He was a talent agent from the '50's who had a habit of talking in his sleep. He recorded these loopy, what would have been called "acid-damaged" monologues if they hadn't happened a decade earlier. A longtime classic." - Jello | 0:05:12 (Pop-up) | |
48 Girls |
Let's Get A Little Sentimental

Carly Simon |
Long Term Physical Effects
![]() |

Glenn Meadmore |
Lovin' In My Oven
![]() |
Chicken and Biscuits | MP3 | "Glenn Meadmore's music is more cow-punk now, but check out his first LP, Chicken and Biscuits. It mixes hard-craking drum machine and loud violins. In a deliberately obnoxious voice that Peter Ivers would be proud of, he sings songs like "Lovin' In My Oven"... Jello | 0:23:07 (Pop-up) | |
Paul Vanase |
Sissy
![]() |
The World of Baby Bones | LP | "...An earlier example from '75, Paul Vanase's The World of Baby Bones, has songs like ..."Sissy" and "Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes." - Jello | 0:27:02 (Pop-up) | |
Paul Vanase |
Sticking Needles Through Paper Doll Eyes
![]() |
The World of Baby Bones | LP | "Paul has a giant Fu Manchu moustache that dips four inches below his chin, glued-on felt triangle eyebrows that arch over the top of his shaved head, and wears a silver lounge suit cut into Flintstone-points at the bottom." - Jello | 0:29:09 (Pop-up) | |
Jack Turner |
Nightmare
![]() |
45 Single | 45 | Jack Turner: "Nightmare." "Aside from having the most psychedelic-sounding steel guitar of the '50's, it also has surreal Dali-esque Hitchcock dream vision lyrics - The Cramps should cover this one." - Jello | 0:32:01 (Pop-up) | |
Lofty's Zzebra | Original Afro-Fusion Music | LP | Black Psychedelia: "The cover of Lofty's Zzebra: Original Afro-Fusion Music shows Lofty wearing striped platform boots up to his knees, a chapaleta over one arm and loud polyester vest and marching pants, standing amidst some trees gesturing fairly angrily at the Gods. Musically, the opening track is bluegrass!" - Jello | 0:34:07 (Pop-up) | ||
Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Congregation |
Give Me Another Joint
![]() |
Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Congregation | MP3 | "...Another experimental black record out of Detroit is this one by Damn Sam the Miracle Man (a former nursing-home choir director from Selma, Alabama) and the Soul Congregation. It opens with "Give Me Another Joint," and has rather puzzling, elliptical liner notes." - Jello | 0:40:33 (Pop-up) | |
Fred Kuehn & Light |
Great Lord Lucifer
![]() |
Song of Gods Gone Mad | LP | Satanic Folk Music: "Fred Kuehn and Light recorded Song of Gods Gone Mad. You've heard of satanic heavy-metal, but how about this genre?" - Jello | 0:44:38 (Pop-up) | |
The New Life, Mike Curb |
Psychedelic Rape
![]() |
Sings The Sidehackers | LP | Pseudo-Psychedelic: "New Life Sings the Side-hackers (Ameret) blends rock, psychedelic plus a full orchestra. They had the nerve to title an eerie, long Hitchcock scare piece "Psychedelic Rape." - Jello | 0:47:54 (Pop-up) | |
Kings Road |
Whipping Post
![]() |

Toby Rean & The Common People |
Outa Space
![]() |
Outa Space | LP | "Another all-time wonderful Crown atrocity is Outa Space! by Toby Rean & The Common People. The cover art is psychedelic but the record has nothing to do with psych or space." - Jello | 0:58:47 (Pop-up) | |
Toby Rean & The Common People |
Request For Discharge
![]() |
Outa Space | LP | "After butchering a Billy Preston hit (Outa Space), the band plays all country-western, ending with a hilarious weeper about a Vietnam Vet who returns home just as the baby he's never seen croaks from crib death!" - Jello | 1:02:03 (Pop-up) | |
Ricky Vale & His Surfers |
Ghost Surfin' Parts 1 & 2
![]() |
Everybody's Surfin' | LP | "Strand Records, who put out a lot of ethnic material, released Ricky Vale & His Surfers. The cover, which shows three prepubescent kids, claims this is the band, but the LP sounds like space-psyche-jazz jams on surf tunes. It only has three songs per side, but each is double the length of most rock'n'roll instrumentals. Very ethereal and well done." - Jello | 1:08:11 (Pop-up) | |
The Psychedelic Seeds |
Psychotic Reaction
![]() |
The Electric Piano Playground | LP | "Bell Records: The Electric Piano Playground by The Psychedelic Seeds may have been intended for children: it's Ferrante and Teicher piano experiments put through various effects. " - Jello | 1:12:38 (Pop-up) | |

Hall & Reasons |
Orbiting
![]() |
Spaceship | LP | Outer Space: "Spaceship by Hall & Reasons, two dorky-looking guys in polyester '70's shirts, is a NASA tribute." - Jello | 1:20:43 (Pop-up) | |
Hall and Reasons |
Spaceship
![]() |
Spaceship | LP | "The music is fairly decent heavy-psych, but the packaging must be seen to be believed." - Jello | 1:23:18 (Pop-up) | |

The Road of Life
![]() |
Song of a Gypsy | "An example of exotica-folk-rock is Song of a Gypsy, released by a gypsy singer, Damon. For blending atmospheres, this is an all-time great!" - Jello | 1:54:13 (Pop-up) | ||
Bobby Brown |
Tiny Wind Of Shanol
![]() |
Enlightening Beam of Axonda | "...In Southern California in the late '70s, Bobby Brown, a blonde guy who build all his own instruments, put out at least three albums which revived the '50's exotica feeling." - Jello | 1:56:47 (Pop-up) |
