Monster Movie Music a' Go Go

monster_movie_music.jpg When The Essential Ghoul's Record Shelf went on an apparently permanent hiatus back in 2005, I wondered where I was going to get my regular fix of Incredibly Strange Music. So now, after 2 years of searching through the blogospheric wilderness, I'm happy to report that I've finally found something even better: Music From the Monster Movies, a weblog devoted to unearthing unearthly tunage from the golden age of psychotronic film.

There's a whole lot of great music here, including a few gems I've been trying to find for a long, long time, like the Del-Aires Zombie Stomp, from the drive-in classic, Horror of Party Beach, so if you're a fan of cool and strange music, you owe it to yourself to click on over for an extended browse.

A Torpedo of Guilt

Heino und Jerry im Über Space presents the ridiculously silly psychedelic song stylings of The National Gallery's 1968 LP, Performing musical interpretations of the paintings of Paul Klee.

Oddy enough, I reviewed this album for the 2001 Edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader:

"Four beatnik musicians from Cleveland tried to introduce hippies to the works of this German Expressionist painter by performing "rock-art" song versions of his paintings. Complete with nonsensical acid-drenched lyrics like "Boy with toys, alone in the Attic/Choking his hobby horse, thinking of his mother.” Special bonus: musical arrangements by Chuck Mangione!"

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Judging by the vast amount of wildly age-inappropriate programming that consistently shows up on this channel, I'm guessing that ABC's definition of "family" must include sewer-dwelling alien child-murderers and the prey they feed on. Let's celebrate the diversity, shall we?
