Flamin' Groovie Shakes Some Axes

2009-08-06T11:40:00.000-07:00

Cyril is letting go of another beautiful guitar from his collection.
See it on eBay at a discount asking price:

Alvin Lee Custom GIBSON ES-335

Here's the Hofner Bass guitar Cyril Jordan (and sometimes George Alexander) played while laying down some of the Flamin Groovies greatest grooves.

The band's best known track, "Shake Some Action", featured this Hofner "Beatle" Bass.

Cyril Jordan recently bought a new Hofner 1963 reissue that was ideal for several studio recordings with his new band Magic Christian (named after the movie starring Ringo), so he decided to give the fans a chance to bid on the actual ax he's had since 1974.

Sold via eBay.

Cyril's paintings are better than ever, and the boy needs to raise cash to release his latest CD album!

See the best of his latest work at the art gallery I set up for him:

Re'up'd, impr'v'd Freaky Uncle Creepy's Keepers Vol. 5

2009-04-30T11:00:00.000-07:00

So many Sixties comps to choose from, with so little time to go through all the vols searching for the cool ones. I'm still at it, picking through hundreds of old albums to find the keepers, and I've been buying anthologies reissued in 2008 and '07 that haven't been reviewed or even listed on amazon.com yet.
This may help you decide which of these latest comps are worth getting.
The point: amazing tracks are still emerging, and unless they're noticed they'll get lost in the filler.
KEEPERS Vol. 5
Keepers 5 is back up on rapidshare. Trax at 320 bit rate. LP cover art in the RAR file.

Aoxomoxoa - Original Mix

2007-08-17T06:17:00.000-07:00

Long out of print, with the 16 track tape masters apparently scuttled at the time of the remix in 1971, the original mix of (OX-OH-MOX-OH-AH) the Grateful Dead's third lp is unlikely to ever be reissued, although Rhino did an excellent remastering of the 1971 remix and included several bonus tracks.

This upload from the original vinyl pressing is from a torrent initially in lossless flac format but...
approx. 450mb seemed to be a bit much considering the uploaded volume was soft.

Includes a radio plug for Aoxomoxoa from 1969 and a studio jam of The Eleven, one of only 2 non-live versions ever recorded, from the Aoxomoxoa sessions.

An aspect of other APA zines (poetry and music) that I've looked through is that some contributions include found objects or random bits tipped-in... an early issue of the posh underground comic zine RAW did it, and CFA-Apa has had articles with numbered prints or even original sketches.

Normally, deliberate efforts to make submissions unique isn't done in CFA-APA, though there are submissions with leaflets, photos and even entire fanzines tipped-in - these are identical to one another within the individual contribution or article (usually consisting of 60 identical photo-copies of each page of the complete article, collated for binding into 60 seperate copies of a particular issue of CFA-APA, which are limited to a single edition with one print run, never more than 60 copies and rarely less than 40).

On occassion my own CFA-APA submissions included actual printed pages and covers from vintage '60s comics such as Creepy #7 and a Robot Fighter by Russ Manning.
Here are examples (close-ups) of CFA-APA pages which are one variant (of 60 total) I submitted to a particular issue...

My submission for the CFA-Apa (Famous Monster artists issue) included random pages cut from original Warren mags. One copy was bound with an actual cover (art by Frank Frazetta) from CREEPY #7.
This post is a work in progress, come back later for more.

Rory Hayes Underground: Change. Disconnect. Evolve...

2006-01-31T23:26:00.000-08:00

Rory Hayes

underground comics artist not to everyone's taste, he was certainly an inspiration to me as a young comics fan, showing me that anyone can do it.

I esp. studied his iconic splashes, heavy black inks, wiggly titles & double outlined letters.

My Demented 1-pager, influenced by R. Hayes, was published in the San Francisco Lowell High School newspaper (1970, weekly offset press).

Rare Underground Comix apa-zines from 1969-1970

2006-01-28T08:18:00.000-08:00

"Shitty Comeex" and "Mountain Motors Comix"

Underground comix apazines I published in 1969 and 1970. Submissions drawn on ditto masters mainly by me and my high schoolmates include pages by actual underground artists hanging out at the San Francisco Comic Book Co.

Rory Hayes did Granny Crackbaggy for SHITTY and Mad Stoz for Mountain Motors; Art Spiegelman and Jay Lynch teamed up on a very detailed Pro-Junior cover for Private Papers of the DOPPLER GANG.

Gary Arlington's hole-in-the-wall store was my main library for most of '69.

Rory, Crumb and Griffin inspired me to channel their lettering styles, pie-cut eyeballs, tear drops (cum again?); my sense of humor was borrowed from Kurtzman's MAD, Uncle Scrooge (Barks) and Fighting American (Simon & Kirby) as well as ZAP.

My good friend Mu (Mark Ungar) saved some of this obscure stuff from disappearing into the ozone.

"The Good Old Days", by Mark Ungar.

My first exposure to the world of underground comics was Robert Crumb's Keep On Truckin' black light poster. (Not this cheap imitation posted here!)

At Lowell High School, Ken "Crawford" Kaffke and I first met as members of the SFFWWTC (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Witchcraft and Weird Things Club). Ken was well into Carl Barks and EC comics, but was particularly focused on the new undergrounds.

Up until this time, I had found the artistic technique in Zap Comix incomprehensible.
Ken helped me to appreciate the individual pen strokes and to revel in the magnificent blackness of the ink.
The black and white printing served to evoke the accessibility and freedom of the form.

You didn't need to be a corporation to publish, and publish we did, in The Private Papers of the Doppler Gang, the SFFWWTC's zine.
- Mark Ungar

The Private Papers of the Doppler Gang, cover (1970) by Art Spiegelman and Jay Lynch. The had stumbled upon our "weird stuff" as they called it, on the bottom shelf of the SF Comic Book Co.

A Checklist of Underground Comics was another of my projects in 1969. My ad, seen here as it appeared in Rocket's Blast #66, was rushed to meet RBCC's advertising deadline. Note the misspelled title!

Super List: All Shows Attended

2006-01-15T14:29:00.000-08:00

***************************************************************************
An attempt to list every LIVE show I saw from 1970-2006.

For now, the acts are listed randomly, as they came to mind, without much rearranging, though date corrections and gig o'bites have been and will be added.

One commenter saw many of the same shows in the San Francisco area as I did, and more besides.

I'm not saying I out-attended everyone of my peer group, in fact I went sporadically during much of my life, because I didn't have a lot of extra money for tix.
Especially when I was in my teens, mainly buying old comics and first printing underground comix with my limited earnings.

Then in the '80s, refreshed by seeing Blondie twice on the same night in 1977; The Jam and Roxy Music on the same night in 1979 at nearby venues (see poster below)... I ramped up my live gig attendence in several ways: working at The Stone nightclub; winning tix off of college radio stations (thanks KUSF!); and volunteering as an Usher for Bill Graham shows such as The Kinks at Berkeley Community Theatre.
In fact, the first ticket I ever won was for The Kinks, in 1977, from KRQR.

Papa Was A Rolling Stone

2006-01-02T08:30:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the life's work of an original Beat, Papa Bob Kaffke.
He was singled out by the Hearst press and other watchdogs desperate to rouse Americans against the advocates drawing literal interpretations from the Bill of Rights guaranteeing every citizen free speech and the right to travel.
Conditional invalid freedoms in the Cold War world, which this new breed of left-wing nuts was putting to the test; at a time when Voter's Rights and Civil Rights was making progress.

The 60's were on the march, and now this bunch of kooks was taking advantage of the momentary confusion on the right.

One of them appeared to be a potential campus leader, adept at networking in several cities on his own, without appearing to be carrying a card to or working for one party, which is the mark of a person not thinking for themself without parroting the dogma.
Others were bigger, better known, such as Mario Savio in Berkeley... but pardon me if I note that often the loudest ones were perhaps demagogues, in any case limited to one area, one cause, and really influencing different kinds of people who saw Savio and similar greats rant on TV. Average Americans would never be convinced by students yelling and telling them what was wrong with America.

Young leaders were preaching to the choir, and the right wing didn't worry too much that the fringes would truly catch on.

But those who were looking closely at sublevels lost sleep over Robert Kaffke, who was a natural athelete, soft spoken, likable by average Americans... ok, he was taken as a serious threat. someone who had to be caught delecto en flagrante.

Imagine if you can, police car searchlights shining on the front window in the dark of night. He was staying on Grandma's couch in the living room, and I on a cot in the dining room*.
I saw the lights sweep the picture window once myself, so it wasn't unfounded paranoia. Though maybe fear was the intended effect.
Dad couldn't be easily intimidated. So the tactics to discredit him were ramped up a few levels.

Reactions to Kaffke's 1968 curriculum at SF State college was a blitz of coordinated attacks from Hearst, Assemblyman Leo Ryan (best known for being murdered as he stormed into Jonestown), TV and Radio talk show hosts sounding the alarm and radicals so far left they accused Instructor Kaffke of being "right" - then they accused a CIA plant. He responded with reason and logic without protesting his innocence too much, but the reverse ploy worked, a dirty trick that the faculty president who had stuck with him through the onslaught was aware further resistance would mean his own resignation as well, and with regret he asked and received - without bitter words fired back at the faculty - my dear Papa's resignation.

He left behind a promising future in teaching anymore courses at University level. He did find a steady job thanks CYO leader, Chuck Ayala. as a boxing coach in the Latino community.

My Dad was a very intelligent educated man, as evidenced by his profoundly calm, articulate discussions remembered by friends in the deeply felt tributes published in Papa Kaffke's obits.
Being human, he could revert to earlier learned forms of chauvinist behavior, as did on occasion the best Beat-era greats and near-greats.
Kaffke was friendly with famous writers such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who still remembers my dad; and his many other friends were generally good people from all classes, rich and poor, all with strong sense of respect for reality.
So my Dad never took up with losers, suicidal martyrs, bar-flys or winos over-doing the beatnik shtick.

Like, hey man, when it was real cool to talk the jive derived from junkie Jazz cats.

Dad didn't hang out all day at cafes... He was right there at the round table with the other bohos blabbing over java; but when it was time to split, he split, you dig? When breakfast was over, he was gone. 2 cups maximum.
He never spent the morning after sleeping-in unless seriously under-the-weather, like sick.
He wasn't constantly employed, preferring to work 1 or sometimes 2 jobs at a time, for about a year or so before cruising abroad or at least to the countryside up North living on his earnings until gradually running low.
He kept figures in notebooks of his in/out expenses, and never lived beyond his means. Never had a credit card in his life.
A sports car or horse were the few occasional luxury items he splurged on; followed by careful spending in other areas.
Not the lifestyle of an organization man or team-player perhaps, but he was no mooch or panhandler, paid back his few loans and never sank into credit debt.

He was a good man, down to earth, deeply spiritual and intellectually scientific: a teacher not a preacher. He never underestimated what a good meal meant to a hungry stomach, or a humble air mattress needed by a weary guest with no place to sleep.

Just browse through some of the surviving archives, though nothing quite replaces the man in flesh and blood.

Letters, manuscripts, photos, and newspaper articles
from his Golden Gloves bouts in the 50's,
the experimental seminars in '68 at SFSU,
to his last stand as a waterfront preservation advocate.

* (The spare bedrooms were being sublet to students by Grandma to very polite exchange students not studying politics).

Among many hours of vintage KRON Assignment Four newsreels, I salvaged footage of the 1964 Cadillac demonstration featuring Papa Kaffke.

I also found a few frames of Kaffke in "The Squaresville Tour" 1959 beatnik counter-invasion of Union Square.

Luria Castell meets the press with Bob Kaffke (center) in 1964. Castell was a founding member with Chet Helms of The Family Dog.

The rare Cuban edition of 59 TO CUBA.

Missing from the SF Main Library Newspaper microfilm files, apparently ripped from the page of the library's bound volume of News Call-Bulletin, is a June 1943 article.
It's a forgotten footnote of the War. The photo at the top of the page captured a grinning 15 year old Bob Kaffke on his way home from Europe - days before becoming the youngest American soldier to enter the Mediterranean theatre.

WANTED! The Pat Michaels Show (KTVU, April 10 1968) Originally aired in color, is a b+w kinnescope or even a photo extant in the vaults of KTVU? I do have a transcript of the debate between Kaffke and Pat Michaels.

WANTED: any tapes, art, slides, or views featuring Roberto - please call or email!

Top 25 San Francisco Songs - Wrong!

2005-05-01T09:42:00.000-07:00

The iTunes Top 25 San Francisco Sound Song List, called "Bay Area Essentials", was compiled by Apple for iPod downloads. Truckin' - Grateful Dead is #1 - and the list goes on, obvious choices for the most part:
Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane is #2, but they should've picked White Rabbit!

The Chronicle's list was compiled by music critics Aidin Vaziri and Joel Selvin, and points out "they're not in the download business". They didn't pick a sensible Airplane song either, going for the "Ballad Of You And Ma And Pooneil" (#5)

Dark Star (#2) is a vague choice, since hundreds of different versions circulate... they didn't specify one- how Dead is that?

An inspired choice from the hip was Slow Death - Flamin' Groovies (#3)

They would like to have you tell them what you think... you can still post your favorite songs by Bay Area artists or argue about their leaving out the Beau Brummels, Avengers, or Flipper but why bother at:

Dr. Wertham, I Exhume

2005-02-18T11:34:00.000-08:00

If any one tome warped my mind, this was it.
Wertham's exposé of the subliminal messages comic books were sending was so alarming in 1954 that 15 years later comics readers were still galvanized into challenging it's conclusions:

Wonder Woman was a ball-breaking lesbian; Batman and Robin were spending down time lounging around their mansion filled with floral decor, in silk bathrobes no less - "the homosexual dream"!
The conspiracy to recruit kids into an early debauchery went so far as to insert panels with hidden drawings of genitalia, that only those with too much time and too many comic books would ever see.
Dr. Wertham included a panel and enlarged detail of what appears to be a woman's lower torso. The legs are not open, and no anatomic features other than the mound are visible.

Wertham described this incredible find as "pictures within pictures for children who know how to look!"

...and Wertham apparently knew how to look.
