Moans From The Stones 1 “Freak Out/Fuck Up” – Moans From The Stones

April 15th, First Show

Thanks to all those who listened to our first show and
extra special thanks to Jessica (This is New Radio)
for checking up on Harley and I. We had a little
situation of anti-preparedness which caused us to
sway from our original playlist and theme but
we were able to pull off some meat-juggling if I do
say so myself. Our next show will be on the 29th and
will most likely resemble the playlist we originally had
in mind for our first show. In the meantime, brush up
on some backwards business:

Excerpt from the Very Strange Story of the
Legendary Joe Meek, a BBC documentary. The
Phil Spector of surf with lysergic leanings. Can you
hear a new world?

MOANS FROM THE STONES:

DAVID HART and HARLEY YOUNG

We set out toward the exploration of the phenomenon of psychedelia as it relates to music (its paradoxes, ambiguities, inconsistencies, and transformative properties), with the intent of defining it as an aesthetic that has spanned nearly all conceivable genres of music, manifesting throughout time in self-refrentiality, multi-cultural co-option, and self-aware resurrection and resurgence.

Moans From the Stones will be aired on Chicago’s own WHPK 88.5, the pride of the south side. We will be getting a 4-6 am time slot, on a yet undisclosed day, but we will have shows archived on this blog for your enjoyment at will. In addition to this, as soon as the show airs, we’ll post our notes for it.

With the initial show, Moans From the Stones will be laying our groundwork for Psych as we will use it throughout subsequent episodes of the show. Set off by a track off the experimental 1962 LP by English author/ philosopher Alan Watts, the first show “Fuzzy Freaks and Embryonic Journeys” meanders through the years of 1960 to 1968. Songs and audio clips being organized by content, mood and genre, we hope to give a comprehensive, but brief, overview of the context and enaction of the early psychedelic era, both socially and sonically.

The Fugs – performing “I couldn’t get high,” from the movie Chappaqua:

Captain Beefheart – Lick my decals off, baby (advertisement): The banned advertisement for Beefhearts’ album “Lick my decals off, baby”. The advertisement is great fun. The album itself is a work of genius.
More info about the refusal of this clip on the ultimate Beefheart website: http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/lick…

Arthur Brown – Rare 1968 Colour Footage: This is a rare clip of freaked out satanic blues maker Arthur Brown performing I put a Spell on you and Nightmare from a 1968 TV Programme about Gerald Scarfe the artist.

The Monkees- Head Clip: a clip from the pcych-pop classic co-written by Jack Nicholson.

Janis Joplin w. Big Brother and the Holding Company: “Combination of the Two” performed live at Montery closes out this clip from “Nine Hundred Nights.” It was not included in the Pennebaker concert film “Monterey Pop.” Instead, a lingering powerful closeup of Janis singing “Ball and Chain” was used to represent Big Brother and the Holding Company’s performance at this landmark 1967 festival. Also here, surviving band members Sam Andrews, David Getz and Peter Albin discuss the good and the bad of their experiences at Monterey. The documentary this clip is taken from, “Nine Hundred Nights,” also features interviews with James Gurley, Janis Joplin, Nick Gravenites, Lenny Kaye and Ellen Willis, with narration by Rip Torn.
