APHIDS & WHITE FLY - "Yanked From The Garbage Disposal" (2023)

 

I've really been slacking off on this blog lately, but I haven't been exactly stagnant. I did manage to put together a couple of things from, as Andy Partridge would say. "The Lure Of Salvage."

So first there's "Rocket Attack" to start off with. It was just a guitar track laid down by Gary Wray that I embellished as best I could!

 

 

And second is a little ditty called "Honk," again with a basic guitar track by Gary from ten years or so ago. The artwork is also all done by Gary with help from his pal, AI Carbon.

Never before heard by human ears, here's...

JOE MENICHETTI - "Good News For Modern Mannequins" (1986)

 

 I never traded tapes with Joe Menichetti back in the 80's but only became aware of him through Don Campau's radio show "No Pigeonholes." This show aired on January 24, 1988. 

100's of these shows can be found on The Internet Archive today!

These days Don Campau hosts a new version of his show, and it is now called "No Pigeonholes EXP" and airs on KOWS radio.

 

As you can see from this liner note, Joe Menichetti did everything, and when I looked on Discogs, I was surprised to see that it looks like he never recorded anything else, which is kind of mind blowing considering how good this song is.

APHIDS & WHITE FLY - "Two Tune EP" (2023)

 

 It only took about thirty years to bring this concept to fruition. Okay, so we're a little slow, I admit it, but I think it's worth it.

There's only two songs here, and one has been presented before under the guise of Dos Bozos, but the other one has never been available anywhere. I just wish Gary and I had been able to work in this mode a little bit more, but it just never worked out, and that's just the way it is.

THE MYSTERIOUS ARTWORK OF GARY WRAY (2023)

 

Back in February of this year I told you that my buddy, and fellow Guzano Gary Wray had published a book of his artwork called 

"The Other Worlds of Gary Wray: A Cyclopedia of Comic Art."

 

Since that time, with the help of his son Erik, Gary has self-published four more books of his art

This one in collaboration with Brian J. Riedel, the third Guzano, is called

"Unfortunate Comic Tales Of Sci-Fi & Horror."

 

This one features Gary's painting and is called

"Unearthly Things."

 

Here's

"Bizarre & Creepy Sculptures."

 

And the latest is

"The Mysterious Artwork of Gary Wray."

So you can see there's something for everybody if they're weird enough!

LORD LITTER'S RADIO SHOW (1992) Part Zwei

Lord Litter is phenomenal, and his radio shows are simply unique and awesome!

If you don't believe me,

 just take a look!

 It's also a good time to donate to The Internet Archive if you appreciate all the wonderful things they do for us!!

And while you're there, check out another great radio show hosted by Frank! He's shows are always a trip down memory lane of the last 100 years of very cool music!

Here's another excerpt from one of Lord Litter's radio shows circa 1992.

The music in this clip is very cool, but I can't understand what the name of the band is, but I know they are from Spain.

I'll fix it as soon as LL lets me know!
 In the meantime and in between time, Enjoy yourself!! 

As timeless as forever...

HERMANOS GUZANOS - "Ride The Psychotron" (2023)

 

Time for more shameless promotion of our own stuff.

Hermanos Guzanos new release is called

 "Ride The Psychotron!"

And, as the captions say, these are 25 songs if you want to call them that, that are

"Like Nails On A Chalkboard"

and

"Not For The Faint Of Heart"

because this ride has gone off the rails!

 

And don't forget to check out all the cool pictures Gary Wray has created to go along with each song like this one from "Planet Of The Future."

 

Here's a sample for you!

NIGHT GALLERY - "Seven Song Demo" (1991)

 

I'm running out of tapes to share with you, and that's one of the reasons I'm not posting as much as I should, so I think it's time to start with some stuff that's even outside my known parameters, and to start with is this 1991 cassette I found on The Internet Archive Thanks to Sinclair87, by a band called

 Night Gallery.

 

We recently got an anonymous comment on our defunct Monster Movie Blog, and the person asked

"For year’s I've tried to find out who’s version of the song “You’re A Sweetheart” John Astin puts on the record player that wouldn’t stop was, but nobody seems to know, do you?!!"

Since Tabonga wrote that post I didn't have a copy of "Hell's Bells" so I started searching for one on The Internet Archive, but instead came up with this pretty cool tape by a band called Night Gallery.

So that's how I got here, and I still don't know whose song it was, maybe somebody like Charlie Davis and his Orchestra.

I can't find anything out about Night Gallery on Discogs, Tape-Mag, or Tape Attack, but the information on the tape itself shows that the members were Anastasia Paro - Vocals, Erick Smith - Bass, and Michael Smith - Guitar.

NIGHT GALLERY - "Elizabeth"
