Mystery track

waldek has written to PCL LinkDump and wants to know more about this track (short snippet).
He says "Four or five years ago one czech music expert wrote me that it is a hungarian group, but he can't remember its name."
Anyone here who can identify this tune? Or have a good guess?

J.X. Williams

Rummaging 'round the net I have seen a few posts of late pertaining to filmmaker and underground legend, JX Williams.

The J.X. Williams Archive reveals some of the secrets of JX's life story. His bio runs the gamut from Communist witch hunts to Mob porn film producer and director.

His early credits include: The 400 Blow Jobs, A Streetwalker Named Desire and It's a Wonderful Lay. Fleeing to Europe after being convicted of tax evasion he made his Citizen Kane - Peep Show


It's a great story but not everyone believes it. Some suggest that Williams is a figure invented by Noel Lawrence, author and creator of Otherzine. No less an authority than the NY Times Paul Cullum raises the questions regarding the authenticity of the filmmaker in this piece:Wrapped In An Enigma

Strange stuff......



“There comes a time in your life when you’ve got to confess to yourself: You’re never gonna make Citizen Kane. You’re never gonna get the girl. Tonight’s not your Night and if you ever had a Night, it happened a long time ago and you blew your wad. All you can really hope for is to get a big footnote in a book somewhere. The credits roll. The curtain drops. And that’s that.”
J.X. Williams

Harry Stephen Keeler

HARRY STEPHEN KEELER (1890-1967) is one of the strangest writers who ever lived. In his time, he was pegged as a mystery novelist who also wrote some science fiction. Today, if you've heard of him at all, it's as the Ed Wood of mystery novelists, a writer reputed to be so bad he's good.



Some typical Keeler situations:
*A man is found strangled to death in the middle of a lawn, yet there are no footprints other than his own. Police suspect the "Flying Strangler-Baby," a killer midget who disguises himself as a baby and stalks victims by helicopter. (X. Jones of Scotland Yard, 1936)
*A disgruntled phone company employee calls every man in Minneapolis, telling him the morning papers will name him as the secret husband of convicted murderess Jemimah Cobb, who runs a whorehouse specializing in women with physical abnormalities. (The Man With the Magic Eardrums, 1939)

Yet another part of Keeler's charm is his unmitigatedly bad titles: Finger, Finger!, The Yellow Zuri, The Amazing Web, Find the Clock, and The Face of the Man From Saturn.

I have just finished reading The Case of the Crazy Corpse which features a mind-numbing plot involving a corpse discovered at the bottom of Lake Michigan. The body is unusual in that the bottom half is a Negro man and the top half is a Chinese woman who are joined together by some sort of greenish glue.
