V/A-LIGHT BULB ISSUE 3 CHRISTMAS CASSETTE, TAPE, 1977, USA





This insanely rare L.A. Free Music Society compilation manifests the most wooly and off-the-cuff facets of the cabal of dadaist noisemakers that comprised L.A.F.M.S. and is thus larded with jokey skits, stoned malarky and tape loop malapropisms, most proffered in bite-sized morsels of under a minute and a half. Pisstakey in parts, art brut brilliant at others, the latter primarily consisting of Patients' stunning 8+ minute communal trudge psych reworking of "Dreidle Dreidle Dreidle"; equal parts Parson Sound/Arbete Och Fritid heavy-lidded festival psych trudge and discombobulated contempo Finnish freak folk sprawl, and a passel of mad tidbits from Le Forte Four, Doodooettes and Ju Suk Reet Meate. Plus you get a 10 minute interview with Frederik Nilsen (Doodooettes, Bpeople, Extended Organ) pontificating on his work and life....and yogurt, ferrets and the smell of welded metal. Thanks to Brad Laner for the contents of this post.

Were there ever volumes 1 & 2 or did these merry pranksters begin with volume 3? And Brad thanks for being so generous with the archive and to Vdoandsound for making it
available.
