R.I.P. Larry "Wild Man" Fischer

His name was Larry.

It is reported that Wild Man Fischer has passed away. Sad news. He will be missed.

Years ago PCL posted both 'Wild Man Fisher and Smegma Sing Popular Songs' and the unforgettable 'An Evening with Wild Man Fischer'. They are probably still available on at least one of the links supplied. Listen to them.

Eilert is Back!

Revenant Glint shares Eilert is Back.
No, he's not back. But that is the album title. He was probably back then. But that doesn't mean he's back now. Though he could be back later. But probably not. Anyway ...


Hound Dog

"......spaced out fringe folk with unusual inner-city vibe..."

From the liner notes of Jerry Rayson's "The Weird Thing in Town":

“In this album I only use three sounds instead of all of them and three languages with African accents. The music of it is called primitive soul music...If you enjoy the new and the weird, this is for you.”

The album references boogaloo and limbo, journeys into space, with time out for an extended anti-junkie and -hobo rant. Acid Archives called Jerry Rayson's "Weird thing In Town" "...spaced out fringe folk with unusual inner-city vibe and Puerto Rican tangents."

Outtakes from the 2003 365 Days Project

As you may (hopefully!) know WFMU's Beware of the Blog are running a section titled 365 Days Project.
In 2003 Otis Fodder managed and ran (with the help of numerous contributors) the glorious, fun and enlightening first project at his website.
Now, as part of 365 Days Project Part 2, we can enjoy some contributed oddities not included in the online project back in 2003. Yep, outtakes!

Elton & Betty

".... In the early 1980's, Betty was a more or less normal, married secretary in her late 50's/early 60's at a Little Rock law firm (allegedly working with Hillary Clinton) with a slight psychiatric problem for which she took medication. At some point, though, she stopped taking her medication and experienced a psychic and sexual renaissance of grandiose proportions: out with the husband and respectable job, in with the matching hot pink hair-do and spandex pants.

Elton, meanwhile, was a much younger (30 years younger, to be exact!) man renowned in Little Rock for his phenomenal basketball skills until the day he claims someone "put something in his drink." Elton met Betty in a homeless shelter, and it was love at first sight. The two were married and became notable Little Rock eccentrics, playing music all around town while sometimes delivering newspapers on the side. Elton ran for a seat in Congress, while Betty challenged Bill Clinton in an Arkansas gubernatorial race with the sole platform of lowering the age of consent to 14.

During this time they recorded at least three albums: "The Best of Elton and Betty" (which is not a compilation), "Sex Beyond the Door," and the mysterious, elusive "Hard Deep Sex Explosion." Each album - but "Sex Beyond the Door" in particular - is a searingly honest, bizarre gem in which the two expound on aspects of their daily lives and sexual inclinations while playing dubiously-tuned ukuleles and tiny guitars. "I Am the Master of Love," "I'm In Love With Your Behind," "I Don't Really Like Oral Sex Much at All," "The Little Dicks Fit Me Best," "My Three Feet Red Hot Tongue Is Sweet as Sugar," "Your Breast, I'd Love to Carresst [sic]" - it is through songs such as these that the true depth of their love for each other is revealed, in the process making their oeuvre arguably the most listenable and entertaining in the entire genre of Outsider Music. ..."
