Fornicating Female Freaks; Bold Butchy Lesbians, AC-DC Sex

I am so happy to have this one up on my record wall!  Stag records, records for dudes to sit around and circle-jerk each other that were released in the 60s, are hard to come by.   And this is one of the few lesbian-themed ones!   Ahhh nothing likes 1960s dudes writing a script for a lesbian fantasy porn.  Totally classic.

David Wilkerson - The Coming Persecution

Oh I love the compulsive persecution complex espoused by evangelical xtians!   Total batshit paranoia that is up there with the USA's gun lobby, but it's good for business.


The real gem of this release is his list of predictions and prophecies:

Oh why is it always the CHARISMATIC ones that are so persecuted by the armies of homosexual mass murderers?

The chosen families series:
In retrospect, I now consider Moonchild (in memoriam) the unofficial part 0 in this series.
Part 1: Directions To My Special Place
Part 2: Glittering, Waiting
Part 3: Always More Than This
Part 4 will be epic and long, and will hopefully be out before the year is over.
These 5 mixes embody an aesthetic I call "dreamer beats", the evolution of which might have been obvious to anyone who follows my mp3 blog regularly.  It is more of a focus on emotional content, psychological meaning and production minutiae of the tracks than it is about the genres, which range from dubstep to witch house to idm to folk to breakbeats to dreamwave to rock to downtempo to whatever else.

Kazuo Ishiguro - When We Were Orphans (audiobook)

Kazuo Ishiguro - When We Were Orphans (audiobook)

When 9-year-old Christopher Banks's father--a British businessman involved in the opium trade--disappears from the family home in Shanghai, the boy and his friend Akira play at being detectives: "Until in the end, after the chases, fist-fights and gun-battles around the warren-like alleys of the Chinese districts, whatever our variations and elaborations, our narratives would always conclude with a magnificent ceremony held in Jessfield Park, a ceremony that would see us, one after another, step out onto a specially erected stage ... to greet the vast cheering crowds." But Christopher's mother also disappears, and he is sent to live in England, where he grows up in the years between the world wars to become, he claims, a famous detective. His family's fate continues to haunt him, however, and he sifts through his memories to try to make sense of his loss. Finally, in the late 1930s, he returns to Shanghai to solve the most important case of his life. But as Christopher pursues his investigation, the boundaries between fact and fantasy begin to evaporate. Is the Japanese soldier he meets really Akira? Are his parents really being held in a house in the Chinese district? And who is Mr. Grayson, the British official who seems to be planning an important celebration? "My first question, sir, before anything else, is if you're happy with the choice of Jessfield Park for the ceremony? We will, you see, require substantial space."

In When We Were Orphans Kazuo Ishiguro uses the conventions of crime fiction to create a moving portrait of a troubled mind, and of a man who cannot escape the long shadows cast by childhood trauma. Sherlock Holmes needed only fragments--a muddy shoe, cigarette ash on a sleeve--to make his deductions, but all Christopher has are fading recollections of long-ago events, and for him the truth is much harder to grasp. Ishiguro writes in the first person, but from the beginning there are cracks in Christopher's carefully restrained prose, suggestions that his version of the world may not be the most reliable. Faced with such a narrator, the reader is forced to become a detective too, chasing crumbs of truth through the labyrinth of Christopher's memory.

Ishiguro has never been one for verbal pyrotechnics, but the unruffled surface of this haunting novel only adds to its emotional power. When We Were Orphans is an extraordinary feat of sustained, perfectly controlled imagination, and in Christopher Banks the author has created one of his most memorable characters. --Simon Leake

DNA & RNA - Deciphering The Code Of Life (1974)

This will be the first post in a series for Grey Calx, writer of the fabulous blogs A Basement of Curiousities and A Closet of Curiousities.
The latter blog specializing in more experimental, rare world music, and contemporary classical.  The former specializing in obscure spoken word, sound recordings, and wacky puzzling detrius from the vinyl heydays.

I have been asked to post some of my offerings, and when someone who has posted up as much amazing stuff as this person asks, you are honored to oblige!


First up:
DNA & RNA - Deciphering The Code Of Life


This album is from a 1974 lecture series that is to accompany a slide show.  This is good for sciencey samples, or for people interested in what science was like 36 years ago.
This is disc 2 from the series.  Sorry, I don't have the others.

Same program on side A and B, except side A has beeps for when to change slides.  Both are included.
320 kbps vinyl rips, done by CPI.

Enjoy!  More coming soon.

Orv Owens - Obey Authority

"Why can't I get my child toobey me?" This is a question that most parents have asked but no one is giving good answers. This tape will create a desire in the childs subconscious to obey.

My friend Heather found this tape back around 1995. It says "(c) 1999" in the photo here, but that must be a new edition.
We were a gangly mess of sensitive art-punk-nerds and tittered in joy and laughter with this great find.

Heather writes...

I got this from an old Sally Ann downtown when I was in high school. It closed soon after, I think. It was in the basement in a bin of caseless tapes. This one was white and just said "Obey Authority" on it. Years later I did some research and learned that this was made by Orv Owens, a Christian Fundamentalist mind-control guru (and choral singer!) who still sells quit-smoking and lose-weight sleep tapes online. This is the only thing I've ever recorded from tape to digital. I don't even remember how to anymore. :)

childrens have delicious brains

More from the promotional material...

A lack of leadership and failure to be strong followers has hurt the business world, held back individuals and destroyed productivity. A high respect for those in positions of authority is needed to build a successful organization. This tape will create a desire to relate well upward.

John Steinbacher - The Child Seducers (1969)

John Steinbacher - The Child Seducers (as read by John Carradine)
LP
1969




You know what's destroying America? THOSE DIRTY FUCKING DEVIL-WORSHIPPING LIBERAL FEMINIST NUDIST CULTIST HOMO ATHEIST COMMUNIST GOD-MOCKING PORNOGRAPHING BRAINWASHERS OF "contempory sex edution in the public school system".
Sexual education breeds communism and will therefor be the downfall of America! Oppose child molestation: Oppose sex education!




Well, this is how it was back in the 60s.
Ok OK, some people are still on that same ol' trip, but most have moved on.

This album is full of AWESOME WIN and will teach you oh so much about proper morals, communism, drugs, sexuality, and so many more things your prepubescent self should have been self-flagellating over.
