Unfortunately I can't remember that blog and where to find it.....in any case, if some of you up there don't know that TT's assistant and all-time friend was Erin and he evidently started the TT blog page postumously of course:), well, perhaps you don't know much about Tiny Tim:):)!!!!!

Steve , I had some fascinating observations re. your comment , but , they were deleted. It's late. I'll try to rewrite it , later. John

I never heard any pedophila accusations either.

Many years ago, his widow, Miss Sue posted a lengthy piece on her website talking about tiny's sexuality. If I'm remembering correctly, he admitted that when he was young he had some homosexual experience -- or maybe it was only desires -- of which he was deeply ashamed. The homophobia apparently was a result of that shame.

Also, his relationship with Miss Sue was pretty much platonic.

By the way, this discussion inspired me to conclude my latest podcast with a Tiny Tim/Brave Combo classic

Glad to see CB fans here:):)

Yeah , Pink Fairies and Hawkwind are both considered the next wave of Psych , in the early 70's. Tho' both bands had a Hard Rock bent , too.....So , in that regard , they ARE comparable to Captain Beyond.

Armageddon , with Keith Relf and Bobby Caldwell from Captain Beyond had similar starnge changes in their songs , that are like Captain Beyong , because of Caldwell's drumming. Still , they were even more on the Hard Rock tip....Apparently , they only did one gig , or a string of gigs , in LA.

Cold Sun (Bill Miller , later with Roky Erickson and The ALIENS) , sIMPLY sAUCER , The Ya Ho Wa 13 recordings , and others epitomized early to mid - 70's Psych. Even Blue Oyster Cult's first Lp.

I don't think most people consider The Sabs Psychedelic , but , there's songs like "Planet Caravan" that definitely are.

Hit songs like "Jump Into The Fire" by Nilsson , "Go Back" by Crabby Appleton , "Draggin' The Line" by Tommy James , fit the bill.

I'm no KISS fan , but , "Goin' Blind" , yep. Their version of The Stones' "2000 Man sounds more Glam than Psych to me."

Then there's Johnny Hallyday's early 70's ''Angry Psych ' period. Sounds like a precursor to The Stranglers , with Mick Jones (Yes , later in Foreigner.) on somevery MC5ish leads.

The Groundhogs , too , sound plenty Psychedelic to me.

So many things , at that time , were neither fish nor fowl. Now , it's so cut and dried.

The Hawks have maintained their psychy touch along the years:):)!!!

The Pygmies ,    It's funny , everyone I talk to about Status Quo says they don't like the Psychedelic Pop era , only the Boogie stuff. I started out just listening to the earlier material , and , then , I was lucky enough to see QUO DOING AN EXTREMELY RARE US appearance to just several hundred people.

THEY WERE ON FIRE !!!!! After that , I started checking out their later stuff , which I'd heard in passing , but never owned.  People asked me if they did "Matchstick Men", I TOLD 'EM , "nO , BUT THE RINGING IN MY EARS AFTER THE SHOW SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE "PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN" !

I'm probably the only one on the entire planet who digs Quo's psychedelic beginnings:):):). In hot pub nite discussions on music esp with the young 'uns, they just don't get and accept that Quo used to be a psych band back in the day....like most UK rock bands including Black Sabbath....yes, the fathers of metal themselves (RJD too in the Elves:):)!!). I can't stand disco crap songs like Whatever you want or the crappier no-rock tunes of the late 80s and early 90s by Quo. Even Rossi has sold out to crappy dance music....go figure :):)

I'd only recently (like a few years ago) gotten into the Groundhogs. Split was my first introduction and remains my favourite album, though it's their fourth album. Thank Christ For the Bomb is a close tie. But these kinds of bands (in my opinion) Pink Ferries, Hawkwind, Ground Hogs, Capt Beyond, Blue Cheer...etc are almost more rock than psych, albeit heavy stoner rock with some fuzzed out psych drenched sounds. It's a perfect storm for me. Elements of 60s garage and psych, forbearers of metal, punk attitudes...stepping stones to Motorhead.

Think I may be trailing a bit off topic...sorry. 

Never thought of Going Blind as a psych song, though my dad was playing it for me when I was 5, long before I had any concept of psych....besides these crazy records they played while smoking their funny smelling cigarettes. Interesting to think of the song in that light. Melvins did an amazing cover of Going Blind. 

What about some bubblegum psych? A lot of those groups (or the few people writing songs for a lot of those groups) had some psych songs - Professor Lollipop single Angela, flip it over and the B side is the song backward, pretty groovy! Lemon Pipers - Jelly Jungle of Orange Marmalade is a pretty tripped out song. Of course Tommy James hit Crimson and Clover was a pretty heavy psych song.

I think most bands in that era all tried their hand in psych for a bit. Standells - Medication, the Who - Amenia City In the Sky, Hollies, Paul Revere, of course the Stones and Beatles, Beach Boys...etc. A lot of these garage bands weren't full on psych bands, but produced some killer psych tunes.

Pink Farries/ Hawkwind camp have tons of good psych/ stoner rock stuff that are both great and seem to be in a different mood than the flower power stuff, which is also obviously great. A bit closer to Captain Beyond, I’d say.

I've been listening to Syd Barrett solo stuff this past week, which I guess is a bit of an obvious one in the psych world. I just happen to have been revisiting the albums the past little while.

Presidents of the United States is one of my all time favourite psych albums. There is no guitar in that album, which I don’t think I even noticed upon first hearing this band. Sometimes I feel this record is trying too hard to be trippy, but not so much that it comes off as corny. Overall it’s pretty amazing.

Kim Fowley has a spattering of cool psych songs throughout his catalog.

I don’t know if Black Sabbath can be considered psych, but in my days of eating lots of acid and other psychedelics, they probably got more time on the turntable than any other group I can think of.

Outside of stuff already mentioned, another big hitter is the first Chocolate Watchband album, No Way Out. This has been on my record want list forever. I think I should just buy a reissue to hold me over.

Yeah , another friend told me it was getting a DVD release. Any info helps , thanks. I'm still planning to go see it , tommorrow at Delilah's (On TV monitors.).

Oh yeah, this is getting a dvd release. I think it's coming out this week actually. All those Banger films productions come out on DVD. I don't have any info on it yet, but I will report back here when I do. 

Oh yeah, a bit of info I guess: I think there is suppose to be a collector's edition that comes with a book, dvd, and maybe something else, I forget. I have no idea how available these will be or how much they will cost. I'll try and find out the info this weekend. 

Yeah , I think he is , too. When I saw him do a signing at Tower , he stopped and talked to all the children that were there , he was beaming. Which  is really cool. He even asked a little boy , "Do you like Teletubbies?". It was adorable.

Still , I really enjoyed seeing all the surviving ACG members in the "Behind The Music " program , as well as the surviving ex - Stooges , pre - reformation(s).

Well , you can't have everything. Maybe it's better , that way. But , i'M SURE ANXIOUS TO SEE IT , EVEN IF , like the new Thunders movie , it probably won't get a DVD release...... 

Not sure if the Filth and the Furry was an inspiration for not showing the faces, good question or guess I should say. I know the director told me that EVERY documentary has talking heads and they wanted to do something different, make it more theatrical, like live Alice performances. 

As far as only getting Dunaway to appear (audio appearance), I think that was the only their option. Getting everybody on board is about like trying to reunite the band and I think when you're dealing with somebody of Alice Cooper's stature, ultimately he is going to be calling the shots. 

The Toronto screening, Alice came in and watched the film with us and he and the film crew did a Q&A at the end. From what I gathered—now that he is 100% sober/clean, I feel he almost wants people to know of his addiction problems, maybe as a warning to others type of story or whatever…. I got the chance to meet him twice throughout this process. He seems like a genuinely friendly and caring guy.

Cool photo! Too bad Dee Dee's not peaking his head out somewhere...

Gonna send!

Deadline for submissions has been extended to July 1. Keep 'em coming!
