Comment:

The Psychedelic Muse has been working overtime... Psych-Head-Nod to Orchid for the Zerfas Album and LoFi Jr. for heightening my insatiable need to track down what might just be one of the oddest and strangely satisfying listens I've had in some time. The culprit: G.T.O.'s Permanent Damage - (AMG: by Lindsay Planer) This 17-track aural document is arguably more sociological than musical in nature. Frank Zappa's insatiable curiosity into human behavior - especially with regard to all manner of sexual deviance and the so-called "lunatic fringe" - became the subject of several releases on his ironically titled Straight Records vanity label. However, Permanent Damage (1969) is additionally unique for including an interesting aggregate of late-'60s musical talent, ranging from Monkee Davy Jones to Lowell George. The moniker G.T.O.'s stands for "Girls Together Outrageously," which describes the ragtag group whose stated primary directive was to bed as many pop and rock stars as they possibly could. Such is the subject matter of the vast majority of both the spoken word and musical numbers on the album. As is the case with most Zappa-related projects, the results vacillate wildly between the ridiculous "Miss Christine's First Conversation With the Plaster Casters of Chicago" and "Miss Pamela's First Conversation With the Plaster Casters of Chicago" to the comparatively sublime "Captain's Fat Theresa Shoes," a tribute to Captain Beefheart's odd choice of footwear. Concurrent Mothers of Invention keyboardist Don Preston also contributes a darkly beautiful musical arrangement on "TV Lives." Additionally, there are a few non-musical inclusions, such as "Wouldn't It Be Sad if There Were No Cones?" and "Moche Monster," both of which provide a unique, if not somewhat inspired, perspective into the young ladies' social interactions. While a majority of the G.T.O.'s garnered no further significant successes, the most infamous member to have come through the ranks is Miss Pamela (aka Pamela des Barres), whose tell-all novel I'm With the Band (1987) was an international bestseller.

Oh, here's some trivia about other band members after they disbanded: MISS SPARKY - became an executive at Disney - MISS CYNDERELLA - briefly married musician John Cale

I thought I was pretty hip to this kind of thing but there's plenty here I don't know. Judging by the previous 3 vols I just know it will be fab. Would you be interested in a trade?

How do you keep this pace up, man?! Such great stuff every time - this time I know more of the picks, but there are still things I need to investigate. Well done.

Looks like we've found our resident psych guru, now that Gerry McDonald is on hiatus. Looks like more fine stuff from the vaults. Would love to hear that July album, he hinted at subtly.

Again, thoughts continue about a box being up for MOTW. That TWO mix is giving you a run for the money, but this is nonetheless extremely noteworthy. Publish it as soon as you can.
