Like, Long Hair by Paul Revere & The Raiders, released on Gardena Records in 1961.

Like Long Hair Review by William Ruhlmann

Gardena Records issued Paul Revere & the Raiders' debut album in the wake of the Top 40 success of the instrumental "Like, Long Hair," and much of it is in the same vein as the single, which is a boogie-woogie arrangement of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor." Pianist and bandleader Paul Revere and saxophonist (and occasional vocalist) Mark Lindsay lead the instrumental attack, as they boogie up such numbers as Gershwin's "Summertime" and also provide the group's covers of bar band R&B standards like "Road Runner." It's lively, if basic music, but offers little hint that the group would go on to make polished pop/rock in a few years.

Today in Labor History December 22, 1905: San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth was born. He was an anarchist, a member of the IWW, and considered by many to be the father of the beat poetry scene, although he never considered himself a beat. Orphaned at a young age, he had very little formal education, but he was an avid reader and taught himself multiple languages. He went on the road as a teen, working along the way as a cowboy cook, a wrangler, peddler and toothbrush maker.

Firepower on the battlefield,
It is all one merely two
Aspects of the same monster.

Electronic American #4: Toaster

Goes in white, comes out brown
I make toast
It’s how the man keeps us down
But I refuse to pop.
Let the bread burn!
Stick a fork in me:
You’re done.

Electronic American #3: Microwave

30 seconds on High.
Pacemakers beware.
Heat your sandwiches
you don’t care.

“End biological oppression!”
electronically we cry.
I undercook your sausage;
Die, die, die.

Electronic American #1: Coffee Pot

Drip, drip, drip:
It’s what I do.
Drip, drip, drip:
Just for you.
But do you care?
NO!!!

Electronic American #2: Tea Kettle

I’m a little teapot,
short and stout.
And you abuse me!!

The Yellow Unicorn by Rod McKuen and Tak Shindo released in 1960 on Imperial

"Shindo also gained positive reviews for his instrumental work on Rod McKuen's 1960 album, Yellow Unicorn. One reviewer wrote: "Also on this record is some exciting music by Tak Shindo: Behind this music's fragility there is great emotional power. It's Japanese in antecedent one supposes. If you're too young to have this record stir memories, perhaps it will stimulate you into washing out your gym clothes and going out to look the world over."" - Wikipedia
