Fabulettes

1969.  7" single, gatefold book style.  Chuffed to find this in the Salvation Army shop, so imagine my annoyance when I pulled the record out and discovererd it was Two Bastard Little Boys by Rolf Sodding Harris.

Anyway, you can find the tunes on Youtube:

Les Shadoks

This piece here tells you all you need to know: Dangerous Minds

The gist: France, 1968-1974, political satire, weird soundtrack that has recently been released on CD by WRWTFWW ("We Release What The Fuck We Want").

It was shown on Thames telly in Britain in 1973, with English narration, in the Magic Roundabout slot.  Any of you lot remember it?

The Spider Elephant

WATCH and LISTEN.  It's bloody brilliant.  Animation by Piotr Kamler, music by Bernard Parmegiani.  1967.

Polish animator Kamler worked in Paris with Service de la Recherche ORTF - a centre for experimentation in the fields of TV and radio, headed by Pierre Schaeffer and employing the likes of Janis Xenakis, Luc Ferrari and Bernard Parmegiani.

There's a DVD which collects all of his films [so far - I think he's still about and doing stuff though it's hard to find anything online]: 'Piotr Kamler, à la recherche du temps'
