Comment:
Kim Fowley is the clown prince of rock and roll. Producer, songwriter, promoter, performer--he's had connections with many significant acts over the course of his 45-year career. His own performances are loose, wild, and supremely fun. I've been a fan ever since I got a cassette copy of his Outrageous album. Songs from that mondo freakout form the backbone of this collection. I was hoping that last year's Impossible But True, The Kim Fowley Story would be the much-deserved greatest-hits collection, but it concentrates on his productions instead of his performances. This Universal Teenager mix contains my favorite Fowley performances from 1965 to 1978. Enjoy the trip.
Feedback:
Some good picks!
As always, very nice. And an excellent cover to boot. Some great selections. For years the only song I knew by him was the Trip from a Pebbles comp, but after buying the horrifically bad VENUS and the RAZORBLADES album from a Musicland cut-out rack in the early 80's I became more aware of his name and then I kept coming across stories about the guy. He is so hit and miss as an artist, but he's always interesting. If there's not already a Kim Fowley tribute disc in the works somebody should start putting one together. He covers such a wide range of sounds that almost any band could fit in. And if you haven't read them yet, I highly recomend the two part feature on Kim from Kicks magazine. -Dale
What a wild unsung character in the history of rock! Excellent cover & picks.
I'm with Jim. Wonderful Mr. Saaf.
Lovely, Lenny.
TrTs Bonne!
And a strange trip it was. Great mix.
Wonderful!
Fantastic - nice choice for a SA mix; I'd love to hear this!
Sadly, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Mr. Fowley's work, so this might be a good place to start. Unfortunately I'm unable to see the cover, but hopefully AOTM will have the ability to show images soon.
...only know a few tracks by Kim Fowley courtesy of Nuggets & the above mentioned Impossible But True comp..this mix looks mighty fine!
I commented on this before, too, but apparently it didn't make the server switch... Mr. Saaf, when you have the chance, I'd love to trade for this.
I really, really, really want to trade you for this!
"all our problems are purely musical ones!" I love this guy, he's a fuckin creep but i love him
