I Am Woman - Helen Reddy

Hard to believe but on it's US release in 1972 Helen Reddy's clunky Andrea Dworkin-friendly anthem 'I am Woman' seemed to challenge the country's right wing Christian male hegemony and created a stir amongst the American population (you know the ones... gun-toting Jesus freaks).

All was forgiven five years later when Reddy sang to an orphan, a lighthouse keeper and a thirty foot green dragon in the Walt Disney movie Pete's Dragon

The American population (you know the ones... gun-toting Jesus freaks) will generally forgive anyone if they appear with anthropomorphic squirrels, puppets or animated properties with big merchandising potential in ancillary markets.

Love Removal Machine - The Cult

Am loving this. Baby baby baby baby. Full-on, hilarious, amped-up to twelve, completely ridiculous Rick Rubin-ised cock rock from the Southern Death Cult - originally from Bradford.

There are numerous archaic, unfathomable fringe cults operating in Britain today - the Church of England for example. Other fringe cults are darker in nature and more in-keeping with the heavy metal aesthetic...

In 1998 in the middle of the Soignes Forest in South Eastern Belgium I was present while a Grand High Priest of the black arts summoned Bael, one of Satan's chief demons, the second chief of staff of the Abyss, and his legion of sixty demons...

He looked exactly like Pete's Dragon.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

No, I don't understand it either
