Poast up your bangers.

This dude talks a lot about breakers and breaking:


Also found an LP called "How To Pass The Motorcycle & Moped Test" with a dude talking 'braking' and 'brakes' (The one in DJ Format's English Lesson)

    Okay, I know this has musical backing, but it's spoken word anyway. And it just kills me every time I hear it.

    I've passed on a few iceberg slim spoken word albums in the past - I think there's two of em - are they worth copping?

    I would say so.


  • I was always a fan of Lord Buckley and Ken Nordine.



    Listening to this, I always thought that it was this performance and the performance of Johnathan Winters that influenced Robin Williams.

    Since we've digressed from spoken word this far...

    Lightnin' Rod's rhyming and delivery on this are classic:

    this is a gruelling listen in one sitting but interesting in doses.

    I put this up on waxidermy but had to remove it because of all the white power nazi comments it was attracting!

    I've got the Instant Insanity Drugs one.

    You might be interested in this (it's only out on CD though). Its a profile of the whole scene and has input from Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, J.G. Ballard, Kenneth Anger, Brian Aldiss, Ken Kesey, Martin A. Lee, Philip K. Dick, G. Gordon Liddy, William Gibson, Bruce Stirling, Lawrence Sutin, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Tom Disch, and H.R. Giger

    Its got that line "You've head about, you've read about it, but have you ever seen a psychedelic circus... those innocent fun games of the hallucination generation.." - always wondered what record that came from.

    I know the Cannonball would barely qualify, but when I properly file my records I will be filing one in Jazz and one in spoken word.

    One of my favorites. This is one of the most depressing listens you could possibly imagine and the idea that it would be listened to by anxious or depressed people is unreal. The type of record that could amplify any neurosis.

    Talky-talk records about drugs:


    Another on the Dr. Leary/LSD tip.

    This one is awesome.

    "I ain't Black! I ain't White!" Definitely love this album. Oh, and how could I forget The Last Poets in this thread?!

    I can't resist any weird spoken word record, especially anti-drug, sex education, right-wing propaganda, crime-to-Christ testimonials, how-tos...
