Ундервуд - Вечный полдень

Contemporary Ukranian music by Ундервуд with retro clip. The title translates as "eternal midday" in the translation machines, which could be accurate looking at the video:

Screaming Lord Sutch.....Live?


Screaming Lord Sutch joined forces with such luminaries as Ritchie Blackmore, Keith Moon and Noel Redding for his second album, recorded at Carshalton Park Rock 'n' Roll Festival in 1972. Yes, it's horrible and basically unlistenable, but would you really want it to be any other way?

Billy Bond


Music by Billy Bond, born Juliano Canterini, who moved to Argentina and became part of the Psych/Acid scene in the early 70s.

I was loath to include the video below because of the way the owner marks his territory all over this video--it's so unnecessary to put graphics all over the place like this. But it's still a pretty great clip.

another Aquarius cover

While preparing a Dutch language podcast I came across this album from 1973. It's an album to promote the cultural life of the village of Bergen (north of Amsterdam near the coast). This is the contribution of Ritmisch jeugdkoor Petrus en Paulus o.l.v. Ton Stroomer (=rhythmic youth choir Peter and Paul conducted by Ton Stroomer).
By the name of the choir and what I understand from the lyrics this is one of the many Catholic Youth choirs in that period in The Netherlands. Petrus and Paulus is the name of the Catholic church in Bergen and it seems the choir still exists.

This is for everyone who would like to hear yet another cover of Aquarius from Hair

Walk Within My Brain


From the psychedelic and funk movement in Mexico in the late 60s/early 70s, Walk Within My Brain (Caminata Cerebral) by Love Army. The version in Spanish has a little more heart & soul, but here's the English version.

UFO Robot


Stefania Rotolo's 1979 performance of "UFO Robot" (a 1978 hit in Italy by Actaurus) on RAI's Tilt is a bit like a live-action version of the short-lived Partridge Family 2200 AD cartoon and — possibly — a more accurate depiction of things to come.

Disco Tex = Monti Rock III


Slothy's Pigeonshit offers the Disco Tex and the Sex-o-Lettes album --I prefer Slothy's title, Disco Tex and the Sex Omelets. I don't think this blog has ever referenced Monti Rock III, who was the frontman for this effort. Apparently this music was featured on an episode of the Simpsons, but nevertheless it's worthy to be included here.

Dueling Tubas


In 1973, before becoming TV's Garth and Barth Gimble, Martin Mull's "Dueling Tubas" made the Billboard Hot 100 (well, the lower end) alongside popular hits of the day like "Walk on the Wild Side, a pre-Hallowe'en reissue of "Monster Mash" and the Dickie Goodman-produced "Superfly Meets Shaft" by John and Ernest.

music and sound-design cut from public-domain horror and science-fiction films from c.1930-1970



"Sounds to Come" is the second installment of a series on Chinstrap of music and sound-design cut from public-domain horror and science-fiction films from c.1930-1970. curated by our dear Ergo Phizmiz, available for your listening horror via Free Music Archive.

The aim of the releases is the reframing of digital artefacts - although the pieces have been recut and equalised, we are not aiming to present definitive versions of these recordings, we rather present the work for the possibility of further investigation into the composers, sound-designers, film-makers, and of course the films themselves, which are available, in the main, for free download at Archive.org.
