Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Cucumber"

On this episode of Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, you heard a song by Baker Knight and The Knightmares named Hallucinations. I had mentioned that British neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote a book of the same name and that there is an excellent interview with him on NPR's Fresh Air. However, that wasn't the only book I mentioned on this week's show! I also spoke a little bit about Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's book Intoxica which shares a name with another song that I played by The Centurians.

The book is a ton of fun with a bunch of period correct illustrations and short histories about famous "tiki bar" themed locations that may have been forgotten by time. I haven't tried any of the drinks which Mr. Berry has compiled but they sure do sound tasty!

Of course, we can't forget about this week's trashy horror film Twins of Evil. The majority of horror films that I've watched over the years would fit into the "gothic" genre or what I like to call "castle horror." You know the type of film, a person gets an inheritance from a spooky dead relative or someone travels to a cursed location. Nobility, religious overtones, castles, cobwebs and dungeons all play important roles in the genre and Twins of Evil checks off all the right marks.

  

Twins of Evil is a Hammer Film that sits firmly in the middle of their typical quality. I wouldn't say it's the worst Hammer film I've seen but it definitely isn't the best. The film is the final part of a series of vampire films written by Tudor Gates with the other two being: The Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire. The three films don't hold any sort of continuity but rather they feature similar character names and themes related to the 1872 Gothic novella Carmilla

Peter Cushing as Gustav Weil

Twins of Evil follows two recently orphaned sisters that stumble upon differing paths in life after moving in with their Puritan uncle Gustav Weil. Although the film is named Twins of Evil the only evil twin is Frieda Gellhorn, played by Madeleine Collinson. Frieda's sister Maria is innocent and polite. She views the world with a sense of wonder and is played by Madeleine Collinson's real life twin sister Mary. Everything in the film follows a simple pattern of good and evil with the most dynamic character being the Puritan uncle Gustav whose character development only really takes place towards the end of the film. Maria is good and Frieda is bad. Gustav follows the teachings of Christ and Count Karnstein worships the Devil. Maria falls in love with the caring teacher Anton and Freida falls for the abominable Count. You get the picture. 

The main feature of the film, as is often the case with Hammer Films, is the eye candy. The Collinson twins were famous for sharing the Playboy Playmate of the month title in October, 1970 and from the film's costuming you can tell Hammer was banking on that sort of hype. It was taboo for twins to be seen in such an erotic light and the more you think about it the weirder it gets. My favorite thing about the film besides the setting is Damien Thomas as Count Karnstein. The character is so painfully silly despite his evil and unusual deeds. In fact, I'd say the Count is one of the few reasons to watch the film. Peter Cushing basically phones his performance in but the Thomas' performance is divinely over the top. If you dig campy satanic ceremonies, vampires, and witch burning you'll find this movie worth a little bit of your time.

Halloween Radio Special!

Tonight on KUCR 88.3 FM there will be a special Halloween episode of Hippie Love Turbo! While I did blab on occasionally I kept the talking to a minimum so that we could enjoy the spooky retro vibes. So that's why there isn't much to write about today dear loyal readers. 

 

Spooky Record Wizard

However, I did tell a few silly jokes from Melvin Berger's 101 Spooky Halloween Jokes, gave a brief history of the holiday, talked about the origin of the Jack -O- Lantern, discussed people's dismay over It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown becoming an Apple TV + exclusive, and mentioned that one of my favorite horror films to watch around Halloween is House On Haunted Hill. Maybe I did talk a little bit.

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Lychee"

On this episode of Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I talked a little bit about the city Phoenix, Oregon and the film named after it. Why did I mention Phoenix, Oregon? Well, you heard a song by The Neighb'rhood Childr'n, a band that started out as The Navarros and before making the trek to San Francisco the group had their humble beginnings in Phoenix, a city which, at the time, had a very small population. Unfortunately, the city has recently been drastically transformed by the Almeda Drive Fire. It's a terribly sad situation right now but if you watch the film that's set in a fictional version of the city the proceeds will go to victims of the southern Oregon blazes. The movie is about a couple of friends that decide to ditch their mind-numbing jobs to follow their dreams and re-open a failed bowling alley with their version of the "world's greatest pizza." It really gives off similar vibes to the raw character driven independent movies that came out during the mid 90s.

Speaking of 90s independent films, Phoenix, Oregon features the acting talent of Kevin Corrigan, who happens to be in one of my favorite '90s indie films: Bandwagon

Kevin Corrigan as Al in Phoenix, Oregon and Wynn Knapp in Bandwagon

Usually on the show I talk about trashy horror films (because that's mostly what I watch) but this week I was feeling more nostalgic and decided to talk about a film that's a little more palatable for these unusual times. 1996's Bandwagon is about a young man named Tony Ridge that has a passion for songwriting but is burdened by his dead end job. Eventually he's fired and decides that it's finally time for him to try to start a band. Things get pretty hairy as he struggles with stage fright and his other various insecurities. While the plot may be dead simple the movie is full of charm through its world building and seemingly naive characters.

Protagonist Tony Ridge hiding during his first practice session

Despite being a little hokey at times the world of Bandwagon feels so tangible. It makes you feel a sort of longing for those small town shows where maybe 15 to 20 people showed up and you can smell the musty record shop or recognize the type of mixing board that can be found at your old college radio station. 

Definitely more realistic looking than Night of The Comet's radio station!

During an interview scene that takes place at a college radio station you can see posters highlighting some of the music that was popular at the time including: the great album by Stereolab entitled Mars Audiac Quintet, Medicine's noisy single for their song Aruca, and God Street Wine's $1.99 Romances. Early in the film you can also spot a couple of well placed CDs on the cash register. Can's Landed and another Stereolab album Switched On. You also get a glimpse of Poison Ivy on a poster from The Cramps' Bikini Girls With Machine Guns. As I said, there is a lot of world building. Perhaps that's mostly just circumstantial due to filming at real life locations. The film is a nice change of pace and it's pretty easy to find floating around.

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Sapote"

On this episode of Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I mentioned the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston, Texas and their exhibit featuring the Pope Mobile! There have been many Pope Mobiles over the years but usually when people think about the Pope Mobile they think of a vehicle with large bullet-resistant glass walls. After an attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981 the Vatican decided to beef up the Pope's ride by customizing his vehicle with a large fish tank looking enclosure. The new upgrades meant that Catholics could continue parading the Pope around town without worrying about any gun nuts with murderous agendas. Sweet!

Screen Capture from Texas Bucket List

Besides talking about the many wonders of Houston, Texas I also spoke about one of my favorite Halloween films Mad Monster Party? What I love so much about the film is that it smashes together a bunch of things I love. Some of the character designs were by Jack Davis with Harvey Kurtzman handling a big chunk of the script. Both are well known for their work with EC Comics and Mad Magazine. The leading mad scientist of the film was voiced by Imhotep himself, Mr. Boris Karloff and the animation was handled by Rankin/Bass Productions; the same people that brought you 1964's Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Looks a little like Grateful Dead's Touch of Grey music video

There's a bunch of fun music in the film but Gale Garnett, the voice of Francesca, really stands out as she sings Our Time To Shine and Never Was A Love Like Mine. You might recognize her from her 1964 hit We'll Sing In The Sunshine and for a silly holiday special Gale Garnett's singing sounds sincere. The songs she sings in the film could easily be mistaken for deep cuts from one of her full length albums. Speaking of her albums, she happens to have one of my favorite album titles of all time: Gale Garnett Sings About Flying and Rainbows and Love and Other Groovy Things.


 

One thing that's a little annoying about the film is that it doesn't seem to be as readily available as other holiday specials. I could go into any random store around Christmas and pickup Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer or Frosty The Snowman but when I wanted to track down a copy of Mad Monster Party? it took some time to find a proper Blueray release. Of course, you could always rent a digital copy but where's the fun in that? I love having piles of junk on my shelves!

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Grapefruit"

On this episode of Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I played Gypsy Trips' Ain't It Hard, which may sound familiar because you heard The Electric Prune's cover back on the episode named "Mango." Afterwards I played a song by Royal Aircoach and I mentioned that the band came from Topsfield, Massachusetts. Topsfield is known for having a yearly fair which features a "Giant Pumpkin Weigh-In" and unfortunately due to Covid-19, this year's fair has been cancelled. Seeing those giant pumpkins makes me wish I could grow anything other than my beard. 

Alex Noel's 2294.50 lb Pumpkin in 2019!

Later in the episode you heard one of Lou Reed's earliest songs from his days recording with Pickwick International. The song was by a phony band named The Beachnuts and supposedly Reed was tasked with coming up with songs in random genres in order to pad compilation albums released by the label. That sure does sound like a dream gig to me!

And, of course, we cannot forget this week's trash film recommendation: Alucarda! The film begins in a confusing manner where you see Alucarda being born in some sort of crypt with Alucarda's mother explaining how her daughter must be taken to a local convent to be saved from an evil person or demon or something. While the film tries to present the intro as some sort of important backstory it really doesn't explain much at all and can be ignored entirely. The film's main focus is on Alucarda's corruption of her new friend Justine and their adventures into vampirism, satanic rituals, and frolicking throughout the woods and convent. The film is fairly light on plot and instead relies on the shock value of seeing young women praising the devil and fighting nuns. Don't worry though! The film is fairly short so you don't have enough time to find yourself bored by all the blood and nudity. BUT BE WARNED! There is a TON of screaming, in fact, probably too much screaming and sometimes it gets a little grating. However, Alucarda is a quick and goofy movie that has some interesting set designs and cinematography that give the film a sort of claustrophobic and eerie atmosphere. It's definitely worth a late night watch. Maybe with headphones if you live in an apartment or have sleepy roommates.

LOUD NOISES!

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Watermelon"

On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, there were some Tennessee connections as you heard, Johnny Burnette (born in Memphis, TN), Hayden Thompson (moved to Memphis and cut some records at Sun Studios), and Carl Mann (born in Huntingdon, TN and signed to Sun Records). Something that really caught my attention during my research was Carl Mann's hometown of Huntingdon, TN. The small town has a preforming arts center named after Dixie Carter, an actress best known for her role as Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Woman. As critics look back at Designing Woman they recognize the progressive views embedded in the show, especially season 3's 2nd episode entitled: "The Candidate." During the episode Julia Sugarbaker debates a commissioner that embraces prayer in school and believes in removing homeless shelters to, "return the streets back to people that pay for them." 

The Dixie as seen on the official The Dixie Instagram page

At the episode's climax, Ms. Sugarbaker has a powerful monologue where she critiques the commissioner's talking points while her friends and colleagues watch on. What's particularly interesting about Ms. Sugarbaker's monologue is that it didn't necessarily align with Dixie Carter's own personal views being that Dixie Carter viewed herself as a Libertarian leaning conservative. Of course, we shouldn't expect actors to share all of the personal beliefs held by the fictional characters that they depict, but in today's political climate it almost seems refreshing that someone could separate their personal beliefs from the roles they portray. Then again, I doubt anyone believes Charlize Theron and Megyn Kelly share similar political views just because Theron played Kelly in 2019's Bombshell.

Speaking of movies, let's look at this episode's creepy film suggestion: Tombs of The Blind Dead! The film features a bunch of spooky scary skeletons that rise from the grave to attack the living because... that's just what zombie/revenants do. The Blind Dead are re-animated corpses of old Knights of The Templar and the film opens with a flashback to the Knight's torturing a woman for unknown reasons. I guess they've always been into the whole torture and cannibalism thing. The plot is fairly confusing or, for better words, lacking but that's not really what you'd watch this movie for. Movies like this are more about the atmosphere and eeriness. 

The Blind Dead are, well, blind so they search for their victims by listening to their heartbeats. When the Blind Dead catch their pray they typically strip them of their flesh and nibble them to death. It's very difficult to watch at times. Difficult to watch without laughing that is.

In fact, I could have sworn that, towards the end of the film, even one of the extras looked like she was holding back a smirk as she was attacked by one of the Blind Dead's silver oven mitts. I could over analyze the effects all day but in reality I think the film features enough entertaining spookiness to keep you watching for 90 minutes. However, I'm not sure if I could watch the other THREE films in the Blind Dead series but, then again, who am I kidding? I probably will.

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Mango"

On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I played a bunch of cover songs so I thought it'd be neat to post the originals or the versions that most people are familiar with. Bands and artists still cover other artists' works, but it's rare that the songs that modern artists cover are contemporaneous. What I mean by that is, there are a ton of cover versions of songs from the 60s that came out the same exact year as the originals. I don't see that happen very often anymore and when I racked my brain thinking of more modern examples the only one that came to mind is Tame Impala's New Person, Same Old Mistakes and Rihanna's version which uses the same backing track. Both tracks came out less than a year apart.

Of course, back in the day artists didn't really share the same backing track but instead they typically recorded their own version. For example, I played The Electric Prunes' version of Ain't It Hard but the original by Gypsy Trips came out just a year before and supposedly both bands recorded in Skyhill Studios. Listening to both songs, however, you can tell The Electric Prunes put their own spin on the song. Another example that I played was Cosmo and The Carnations' version of I'm A Little Mixed Up which came out the same year as the superior original by Betty James. During the show you also heard Les Belges preform a French language version of The Hollies Have You Ever Loved Somebody? and both versions came out in 1967. Finally, I played Dick Rivers' C'est Ma Vie which is a cover of It's My Life which was made famous by The Animals. Not only did those two songs come out in 1965 but they were both released only a couple months apart! Wild stuff.

And now, let's get into this week's trash film recommendation: The Driller Killer! It's a slasher film where the killer's weapon of choice is a corded drill. The movie really leans into the absurdity his weapon as the killer powers it by wearing a giant and cumbersome battery belt that he discovers through a commercial on late night TV. 

However, unlike most slasher films the main protagonist is the killer. You follow the disturbed young man, Reno, as he delves deeper into his psyche and begins a killing spree fueled by his stressful home life and fears of becoming a derelict like his estranged father. While much has been said about the film's gore and violence, what I think makes this film stand out is the setting. You get a feel for that late 70s New York hustle and street life. Everyone in the film is skeezy, drugged out, or gritty in some way or another. As much as the film is about the killer Reno, it's also really about artists and musicians living on life's fringes. My favorite thing about the movie is the film's resident No Wave/Punk band Tony Coca Cola and the Roosters. They constantly play music and flirt with success as Reno struggles to make rent by selling his oversized paintings. You really get a feel for Reno's frustration with having to deal with a bunch of loud neighbors that no one else seems to mind.

The Driller Killer would be worth a watch even if there was no serial murder due to the amazing setting that serves as a snapshot to a time that's often forgotten. Then again, maybe I've been warping my brain by watching too many of these movies. Yikes!

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Kiwi"

On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I played the song Do What They Don't Say by The Jynx and I mentioned that the Mugwumps preformed their own version of the song on their self-titled album from 1967. The Mugwumps featured members Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty that later went on to form a couple influential 60s bands that you've most likely have heard of: The Mamas and The Papas and The Lovin' Spoonful. In my opinion, the Jynx's version is superior because I'm not a fan of the horns on the Mugwumps version. The whole song sounds too Herb Albert-ish for my liking. 

Another song that I played during the first set was The Purple Gang's One Of The Bunch. Something I found funny about The Purple Gang is that they admitted that they didn't play a lot of gigs at clubs but instead mostly played during the grand openings of supermarkets and gas stations. I wish that sort of thing was more common today. Imagine pushing a shopping cart or sipping on a Slush Puppy while some hairy looking creeps play an out of tune version of Them's Gloria. Oh, be still my heart. Check out this old archived interview if you'd like to read more about Los Angeles' The Purple Gang.

Of course, we can't forget this weeks freaky film: Nightmare City. It's not a zombie film, technically, but its hard to classify it as anything else. The film is about a bunch of radiated goons that travel around drinking blood in order to survive. Unlike zombies, these ghouls have some sort of intelligence and can wield knives, guns, as well as, drive vehicles and pilot planes. According to the director, Nightmare City is supposed to be viewed as some sort of anti-war/anti-nuclear film but in reality it seems just like your normal run of the mill gorefest. I thoroughly enjoy how the monsters look like melted candy bars with that deer in the headlight sort of look that you'll see on old drivers licenses. 

 

Making this took longer than I'd like to admit

I wouldn't recommend the film if you are one to take zombie films seriously because the plot is thinner than my hairline and features some of the worst special effects I've ever seen. However, the movie's charm comes from how much is strives to be better than it actually is. Nightmare City wants Rambo style action and Dawn of The Dead style effects but is working with a legal pad script and a TV movie budget. It's a fun "laugh with your friends" type of movie.


Below you'll find the songs that I played on this week's show:

 

 
The Jynx - Do What They Don't Say

The Purple Gang - One Of The Bunch

Brain Train - Me

4th Street Exit - Strange One

Enfields - I'm For Things You Do

The Lamp Of Childhood - First Time, Last Time

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Apple"

On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I spoke a little bit about Mona Lisa and how the famous painting wasn't very famous until it was stolen! For some reason, multiple people have attempted to vandalize the Mona Lisa over the years with varying degrees of success. I guess art can really drum up some weird emotions in people. 

Later on in the show you heard the song Locked Out by Junior Shank and The Jesters, and I mentioned that it sounded an awful lot like an Everly Brothers knockoff, specifically the song Wake Up Little Susie. Well, whenever Wake Up Little Susie gets mentioned I think about the time George W. Bush, then just a candidate, went on Oprah's show and told her his favorite song was: "Wake Up Little Susie. [by] Buddy Holly." Eh, close enough.

 

 

And, of course, we can't forget the strange and freaky movie of the week: Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters! As you'd expect from the title, the movie is filled with creepy monsters from Japanese folklore. While I am definitely no expert in Japanese folktales, I did recognize the strange parasol/umbrella creatures that are known as: "Kasa-obake." They seem like lovely creatures that fall into a sort of jokester archetype. Another monster that really stands out in the film is known as "Rokurokubi." It's apparently some sort of apparition that takes on the form of a woman with a very long neck. Think of a person with a giraffe's neck except it's more wobbly. Yikes.

 

Anywho, you'll find the songs that were played during the show below:

The Girls - Rocket For Girls

Chain-Gang - Little Black Book

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Peach"


On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I played J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers' song He'll Learn About It and I mentioned that they were best known for their cover of the classic teenage death song Last Kiss. Although many people have covered the song over the years I believe that the best version of the song is by the originator himself, Wayne Cochran.
Wayne and His Towering Pompadour

Speaking about death and car crashes, this weeks kooky film recommendation is 1975's Death Race 2000. Picture this: 20 years ago America fell on some hard times, in fact, the whole world has. Corrupt politicians jump on the whole civil unrest thing and discover that they can pacify the populace by holding a vicious transcontinental race featuring vehicular murder. While the film is obviously humorous and satirical, one could argue that in some ways the film foreshadowed the "Reality TV" boom of the early 2000s. Now, I don't want to get too egg headed and scholarly, but I think understanding what was going on in America around this time provides some context for all of the film's wild symbolism and buffoonery. Death Race 2000 is a sort of mishmash of Wacky Racers, the Watergate scandal, the 1973 oil crisis, 1970s Nascar and it's rampant cheating, professional wrestling, and the prevalence of violence found in the local news. The film is off the wall but that's sort of how I prefer my dystopian fiction. In other words, I dig it.

Death Race 2000's point system

During the show I mentioned the popular 90s PC game Carmageddon but there was also an arcade game named Death Race that was developed by Exidy and released just a year after Death Race 2000 hit theaters. Both games, as expected, generated a bunch of controversy as parents were horrified by the depictions of pixelated humanoid murder.


Check out the songs that were featured on this week's episode below:



Namelosers - Land of 1000 Dances

The Outlaws - Hold Up

J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers - He'll Learn About It

Satan's Breed - Laugh Myself To The Grave

Chrichan and The Gamblers - Answer Me My Love

Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show - Code Word "Guava"


On this week's Hippie Love Turbo Radio Show, on KUCR 88.3 FM, I spoke a little bit about Emy Jackson, a pop singer that had a few hits in Japan including: Crying In A Storm. She started her career as a DJ for Radio Kanto, which was a station known for it's vast western library, before she eventually got signed to Columbia Records. You can find some more info about her on the super cool and informative website Garage Hangover or on her official website.

Pictures from Emy's official site

I played Les Missiles' cover of John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom but maybe you're like me and you know the song from hearing The Animals' version. Over the years there's been a few tapes/CDs that my pops plays in the car (always on repeat!) and about 10 years ago you'd know he was coming around the corner when you heard this song in particular. Nowadays, if I hear certain songs, without the warble and hiss of an old tape, my mind struggles for a half-second before I can peacefully listen to the song. "THiS iS tHe EeEnDd. mY OnLy FreIyend. tHE ennD."

My dad's Holy Tape Trinity. Pictures from Discogs
How about his week's mind-melting/brain-beater movie suggestion? On this week's show I spoke about the 1984 post-apocalyptic film, Night of The Comet. There is one scene in particular that I focused on where the two lead characters enter a radio station searching for a DJ which they think has survived the comet's death blast. Unfortunately for our two heroines, they soon find out that the show has been automated the whole time. In today's radio world I'd say most radio stations are run on pre-recorded shows but back in '84 it seems like it was a bit harder to play an automated set. Now we can easily run 24 hours of content from even the most minimal of computer setups but running from reels must have been a pain. I would love to get a hold of some old radio station reels but I bet most were reused until they were eventually tossed in the trash. Something I'd like to note about the radio station is how fancy it looks. I've been to a bunch of radio stations over the years but I've never seen one that looks better than a dimly lit office. The station in the movie almost looks like a dance club. Nice.

I wonder what record she's holding
