Psycho Surgeons

[Rythmn Boy]

Another interview here. Listening right now

Lipstick Killers Peter Tillman and Mark Taylor in conversation | News (i94bar.com)

Unfortunately when your CD is released, you're expected to talk endlessly about it.

 

[Rythmn Boy]

Don't knock it. Plenty of interesting information and insight in that interview!

I wanted to hear more about the leftover blood from the PsychoSurgeons 45 splashing the Filth used
at a gig straight after.
I guess Peter has a reputation to protect. Hedge funds and all. (Ah, the punk rebellion!)

A soon to be released comp conceived by Jon Savage:

I imagine Bosshoss knows it includes Hindu Gods (Of Love) by the Lipstick Killers.

You can call it zeitgeist .

Since they put it last, does that mean it's the worst song or do they think it's the best? I like LPs that end on a high note. This one ended with a thud

I was searching for a song by Hindu Love Gods on Spotify this evening, when this turned up:

The Hindu Love Gods were some kind of REM spin-off. They took the name from our song, apparently and according to an interview I read years ago. Unless I just imagined it.

I'm stickin' with the originators thank you.

 

[bosshoss]

I originally got the song title from a crossword puzzle. The clue was literally just "Hindu God Of Love". The answer is Kamadeva. Crosswords are great places to get song titles.

 

[bosshoss]

The other factoid about Hindu Gods Of Love is that the main riff was lifted from Teddy & The Patches "Suzy Creamcheese". Direct from the 45 which I owned, not from a reissue or comp which didn't even exist at the time. Not bad for 1979, eh?

i'm sensing a Frank Zappa connection.

Not really, but perhaps a little. I (or a friend?) spotted 3 copies of the Teddy & His Patches 45 at a second hand record store in Sydney (Martins Records). They looked interesting and I bought one copy, and later after playing it, I returned for the other 2 copies. Maybe it was the "Suzy Creamcheese" name which made me buy it, or maybe it was the Teddy & His Patches" name. Probably both. In any case, my interest in FZ & MOI was history by that time. Upon playing the record, I didn't think "garage band". I just thought it was a crazy and great novelty type 45, maybe like Captain Beefheart early stuff. I proceded to use it as the inspiration for Hindu Gods. Much later it seemed to fit with the garage band concept, and I began to appreciate it for what it is.

I wonder what else was in those bins where I found the Teddy & His Patches 45? Almost certainly other great unknown to me garage 45s, I would guess. It was part of a huge dump of US cut-outs being offloaded.

I remember you said you collected Zappa stuff in the early days and thought you maybe you picked it up because of the song title. Oh wait, didn't you tell me not to let your Zappa phase outta the bag? Oooopsie! Ha!

Haha, no I didn't. I still like the first Mothers Of Invention LP "Freak Out'. Even the 2nd and 3rd Lps are bearable.
