This long-lost Parisian skin flick 'Jeunes Filles Impudiques' (AKA Schoolgirl Hitchhikers) marks a particularly vulnerable period in the career of one of the most underrated and misunderstood directors to emerge from the rising smoke of the 1968 Parisian social explosion.
From a director with early links with the Paris underground, The Letterists, The surrealists, improv theater and the free-press comes the reclaimed audio tracks from one of his rarest celluloid moments - but lets not confuse this for high-art. Finders Keepers make no bones, this is Jean Rollin's maiden voyage into adult entertainment, directed under the pseudonym of Miche Gentil with a flimsy plot, questionable acting skills and an awesome little schizophrenic soundtrack.

Pierre Raph – Schoolgirl Hitchhikers
The Brutus Drums percussion workout, the acidic folk pastoral movements, the Cul-De-Sac-esque jazz theme and the UK library sound-alike tile-tune all make up this 5 track veritable banquet of Gallic sleaze and second-class sound providing fans of cult cinema and b-music with an unexpected glimpse into the No-No generation at its most candid.
The interests of good taste have ensured that this long-lost movie has been buried for some 40 odd years with a musical score bursting to jump out of the can and down your tone arm which has now been made possible by a recently renovated negative print and new source material. These original Pierre-Raph (of ‘Requiem For A Vampire’ infamy) compositions from the publishing Library of Paris’ Musicale Editions Dellamarre (of Acanthus / Unity fame) come straight from Rollin himself as an introduction to Finders Keepers’ new Rollinade series documenting some of the finest musical moments of the director’s career as an avant-gardener, counter-culture vulture and Gallic vamp-tramp all housed in their original hand-painted promotional artwork for the first time ever on vinyl.

The Steady Machine Show was contrived by Mestizo of Machina Muerte and Dumbfoundead of Knock Steady with resident in house DJ ZO. The two West Coast heavyweight emcees decided to pull together the extremely odd and the undeniably talented artists of Los Angeles they know and throw them on Reserve Radio to expose audiences to new and unheard forms of music. Expect nothing but the rarest and rawest artists featured on The Steady Machine Show, we guarantee you will never pin point what they are going to do next.

The Gaslamp Killer was a West Coast dirty drum, neck-break beat phenomenon, but as of lately has become a worldwide house hold name in the mouths of eager nutcases waiting for his return to ears and venues. Gaslamp was kind enough to come down to The Steady Machine Show and start off our tirade with a 35 minute murder mix. If you haven’t had the chance to see this man in person, every Wednesday night he’s at the world famous Low End Theory Club in Los Angeles. Gaslamp left the tracklist to the listeners imagination, so do your homework on the GLK.

Looking through some old records and found this!
“Twin Sons Of Different Mothers” is the fifth album by American singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg, released in 1978.The album was the first of Fogelberg’s two collaborations with jazz flutist Tim Weisberg. Of the ten tracks seven are instrumental written all by Dan Fogelberg.
Of the three vocal tracks “Tell Me To My Face” was written by Graham Nash, Allan Clarke and Tony Hicks of the Hollies, “Since You’ve Asked” written by Judy Collins and “The Power Of Gold” written by Dan Fogelberg. It’s easy listening and very enjoyable, with outstanding tracks being “Guitar Etude No.3″,”Lahaina Luna” and “Paris Nocturne”.
– The record sucks but this track is ill!!! lol
