Howdy music fans! Jack's suggestion of Techo-Fearing Apes was in pole position for my compilation title until Bryan and I watched a phenomenal documentary about The Holy Modal Rounders last night (cheers Ben!), what a guy Peter Stampfel is! One particularly charming sequence showed him tenderly feeding his pet parrot some ravioli from his hand, whilst cooing in that hick-sounding-shot-to-bits hipster voice (kind of like a Head version of Walter Brennan) 'It's Mister Tasty Fingers!' - adorable! Then clearly Viv Stanshall (everyone's favourite offbeat Teddy Boy) kissing a mini warthog just fell into place.....

Anyways, I had immense fun putting this together and have been umming and ahhhhing over my final choices for weeks. It's pretty 60's heavy, but I'm just that kinda gal. I hope you like it. And if not, Mr tasty Fingers is coming to get you!....Let me know what ye think.

    Awesome comp! Loved the Lotet Lenya especially - Porpoise Mouth has always been a fave too. "Lovely Stuff"! Not my words, but the words of Shakin Stevens.

    Typically excellent selections, Kate. Personal highlights include Sonic Youth's 'Superstar' (it was on my next comp until I spied it here.), The Stooges's 'Penetration' (a song I'm glad you introduced me to a few months back), and Count Five's staggering 'Psychotic Reaction.'

    Looking forward to your next one, champ.

    Cheers Cap'n! Glad you liked it. I am currently trying to reduce down a zillion songs to a manageable number for my next one!
