I have only a snippet of the flip  (Wonder Pill) that I hesitate to post.

Brain Blood Volume

 

 

Brain Blood Volume

This is from Julie Felix' second album, "Changes", from 1966 (Fontana Records)

 

Julie Ann Felix (1938–2020) was an American-British folk singer and recording artist,  eager to promote the doctrine of trepanation (see below) and recorded some of the propaganda songs which Joey [Joey Mellen, Amanda Feilding's companion] had composed,

On the subject, see Eccentric Lives & Peculiar Notions, a book by John Mitchell from 1984, reprinted HERE

I quote :

Amanda Feilding lives in a charming flat looking over London's river with her companion, Joey Mellen, and their infant son, Rock. She is a successful painter, and she and Joey have an art gallery in a fashionable street of the King's Road. Another of her talents is for politics. At the last two General Elections she stood for Parliament in Chelsea, more than doubling her vote on the second occasion from 49 to 139. It does not sound much, but the cause for which she stands is unfamiliar and lacks obvious appeal. Feilding and her voters demand that trepanning operations be made freely available on the National Health. Trepanation means cutting a hole in your skull.

The founder of the trepanation movement is a Dutch savant, Dr Bart Hughes. In 1962 he made a discovery which his followers proclaim as the most significant in modern times. One's state and degree of consciousness, he realized, are related to the volume of blood in the brain. According to his theory of evolution, the adoption of an upright stance brought certain benefits to the human race, but it caused the flow of blood through the head to be limited by gravity, thus reducing the range of human consciousness. Certain parts of the brain ceased or reduced their functions while others, particularly those parts relating to speech and reasoning, became emphasized in compensation. One can redress the balance by a number of methods, such as standing on one's head, jumping from a hot bath into a cold one, or the use of drugs; but the wider consciousness thus obtained is only temporary. Bart Hughes shared the common goal of mystics and poets in all ages: he wanted to achieve permanently the higher level of vision, which he associated with an increased volume of blood in the capillaries of the brain.

(...)

Bart Huges's ideas had their best reception among artists and bohemians. Among those impressed was Heathcote Williams, who published a dialogue between Joey and Bart in the literary Transatlantic Review and made a trepanation scene the climax of his award-winning play, AC-DC. An important convert was Julie Felix, a world-famous (in London) American singer in the style of Joan Baez. She was eager to promote the doctrine of trepanation and recorded some of the propaganda songs which Joey [Joey Mellen,Amanda Feilding's companion] had composed, including Brainbloodvolume, The Great Brain Robbery and Sugarlack.read more....

Make A Record, Man

 

 The Markeys
featuring George Morton

Make A Record, Man 

Morton, M.Monaco, J. Monaco
Norma Music Co, Inc. BMI

1958

In 1957 George Morton formed a vocal group with friends Marty Monaco, Tony Giannattasio, Victor Eusepi and Sal DiTroia.  Marty Monaco's mother had a basic recording studio in her basement in nearby Levvitown, where the guys wrote, rehearsed and taped demos of their songs. The owner of a local record store took a liking to the young quintet and helped arrange for them to audition for RCA.

The group made their recording debut with "Hot Rod", released on RCA in the summer of 1958. Later that year, RCA released their second 45, "Make A Record, Man"

Born William Henry Holeman in Oklahoma in 1935. After a stint in Korea with the US Air Force, he probably started a career in music upon his return in the USA, in country & western music precisely, if we judge by the photography below found at Find A Grave :

At some point in the late fifties, Rocky was vocalist with Mort Wise and the Wisemen, a rock ‘n‘ roll sextet formed around 1956-1957. They were gigs around Hollywood and Las Vegas before the recording of Wild Boy a song penned by Eden Ahbez and issued on Charles Mish's tiny label named Sierra located at Sierra Bonita, Hollywood. Rocky left the Wisemen in 1960 to pursue his career, recording two more singles in California, for Flip ad for Althea, before moving to Texas.

They were records in the sixties and the seventies for various Texas labels such as Kool, Capri, B&G, Rampart Street, POW MIA, Injun and Juke Box. Also, two singles were issued on Memphis labels (Pixie and Casino) in the seventies. Billy Holeman died in 1996.

The Lazy Song

 

Let us celebrate with dignity and respect The International Workers' Day with Bruno Mars

 
Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

 

"The Lazy Song"

Today, I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today, I swear, I'm not doing anything, uh

I'm gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't, nah
I'll be lounging on the couch, just chillin' in my Snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle, I'm the freaking man

Oh-oh, yes, I said it (Ooh-ooh)
I said it, I said it, 'cause I can (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Today, I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today, I swear, I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh

Tomorrow, I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out, "This is great!" (Oh my God, this is great)
Yeah, I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry, pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh-oh, yes I said it (Ooh-ooh)
I said it, I said it, 'cause I can (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Today, I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today, I swear, I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause I ain't going anywhere (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And let everything hang loose (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today, I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today, I swear, I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
