I can't wait for the year end roundup on this one

Oh, we're hippes now? Cute.
Then, if you don't already have a look. It's the film the Lea Riders wrote a song to: Dom Kallar Oss Mods. You can hear it somewhere in the movie.
It is actually a really good documentary about young whinos, druggies, outcasts and bums.

 
What? "Dom Kallar Oss Mods" is a soundtrack? Wow. Totally awesome piece of music in my opinion.
Unfortunately I can't watch the film. Says the German Performing Right Society GEMA isn't releasing the publishing rights of EMI. What the ****???!!!
Anyway... looks interesting.
Glad you liked the Peter Sellers input. ;)
By the way, I think that Sky Saxon tune is a great and rather unique poetical/philosophical pop statement. Good music, too. It gets a funny angle with that Peter Sellers movie, but in fact it's pretty amazing. A bit unsettling and totally true.
 
I just checked out the Red Planet album. Most of it doesn't sound very convincing to me. But this one is great too:

Too bad you can't see it, it is really good. I think it is the b-side of the Lea Riders 45 that graces the intro of the movie.
They Call Us Misfits is part one of a trilogy following these outcasts thru 67 to the early nineties.
Part two (A Decent Life) is actually the best and most frightening part. A must-see.

Peter Sellers totally made the Sky Saxon-track for me, I might've been a bit more narrow-minded without all the dancing people since I'm not all for aging hippies' records from the new millennia.
 
The Lea Riders single is not featured in the soundtrack. The band had film screened on the wall of a studio and jammed while watching it and it's the 'jam music' that is the soundtrack. 'Dom Kallar Oss Mods' is parts of the music spliced together + added vocals and sound effects. Top 3 psych destroyer worldwide IMHO. But it's not in the movie. In the film the music is instrumental.
The flip - The Forgotten Generation - is not in the film either(...that I can remember - it's been a few years since I saw it, to say the least). In either case it's a really rotten song, best "forgotten". It's not taken from the heavy jams the band recorded - it sounds more like some awful children's music.
 
I had a call a few years back at about 1 in the morning from an old friend, 'C0me on d0wn t0 L0nd0n I have Sky sAX0n in the studiO we need y0u t0 play s0me guitar" whiny chatter in thee background. I tried explain there were no trains after 12 to London and I had a job I have to go to the next day, a little notice would have been nice....... Also I ain't no "guitar" player that can jam along. I think my friend and Mr Saxon were tripping off their tits and had no idea of time or distance (perhaps Sky's Starship Taxi Service was avaliable that night, I forgot to ask), or maybe he was bragging to the guy who introduced him and a whole town to 60's garage punk. He then suggested travelling the miles just to rattle a tambourine. ha ha ha...

Good night mate have a good night.... No Regrets... Never meet your heroes. You can hear some here Sky last recordings I think!! it's kind of half decentish if you love Sky???? - http://rosco-aka-sterlingroswell.ba...on-sterling-roswell-duet-free-download-single

Anyway I missed the chance of meeting and playing with Sky and then being mixed out of any recordings later (again) for my extreme amateurish punk sting banging or tambourine rattling.
 
Thanks for the info, Mans.
Nice story, Hicksville!
A distant friend in L.A. who played with the Primates in the 80s hung out a lot with Sky in his later years. He seems to have been a really nice guy with a lot of spirit. Hopefully I get to hear some of my friend's stories about Sky someday. Unfortunately I have no idea when I will make it to L.A. next time...
 
There is a certain connection, I agree.
Best version next to Hendrix maybe...
