I don't know the Absinthe Fairy, but I've met the Whisky Fairy more than once.

I saw him a couple of times in the late '70s. Absolutely awesome live performer.

I remember the days before internet ads. You'd be rushing to finish a (Lotus 1-2-3) spreadsheet that your boss wanted ASAP and some fool would stick her head through the window and wave a dead chicken in your face. The '90s were hell.

This performance was mimed, as TV shows of this era often were, but the drummer is really taking the piss.

I only discovered them via Teenage Fanclub, who basically took Big Star's sound and built a career on it.

Fantasy jobs I never had #1: Assistant on '60s glamour shoot.

"OK boy we're ready, go and oil up miss Fox".

 
 

This song references Wilhelm Reich, the inventor of the Orgone Energy Accumulator, a wooden cupboard about the size of a telephone booth, lined with metal and insulated with steel wool.

Reich considered his orgone accumulator an almost magical device that could improve its users' "orgastic potency" and, by extension, their general, and above all mental, health.

Woody Allen famously parodied it in Sleeper (1973), giving it the immortal nickname the "Orgasmatron".

Beats me. How can Burdon + funk possibly be bad?

 
 
 
 
 

The artist had a traumatic and violent childhood, and was committed to a mental asylum in his 20s, where he spent the rest of his life. It was during his incarceration that he started drawing, eventually producing over 1500 works and a 25,000 page illustrated 'biography' of Saint Adolf.
