Larry "Wild Man" Fischer was "discovered" on the streets of Hollywood by Frank Zappa, who was intrigued by Fischer's offer to write and perform original songs for passers-by for a mere ten cents each. After hearing a few dollars' worth, Zappa offered Fischer a recording contract, and in 1968 the album "An Evening With Wild Man Fischer" was released. Sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, a tortured man constantly at war with his own demons. Though you could argue the film makers may be guilty of find out more...

70's super groupie Cynthia hit on a novel idea, plaster caster the penises of the rock gods (her most famous conquest being Jimi Hendrix) and while a strangely fascinating trawl through Cynthia's memories, her continued predilection is slightly agonising, not helped by the fact she's such a life casualty. Intriguing and bizarre but it's a long journey to reach the over two hours length…Phhhhnaaaa…get it? No?...probably for the best. find out more...

An artful documentary about the life of Daniel Johnson, singer/songwriter, artist, cartoonist and general artistic genius, but a man sadly afflicted with a severe mental illness that makes him totally self-delusional and an occasional danger to both himself and others. Daniel, raised in a Christian fundamentalist family in deepest West Virginia, amongst many of his fantasies, sees Devils everywhere, and with his overblown self-importance, not helped by his legions of admirers, vying with his low find out more...

The Dark Side of the Moon remained on bestseller charts for nearly 14 years, ensuring that the contents of the album permeated the cultural consciousness to the same degree as it's classic sleeve art. Recent years have even seen the album blessed with its own urban myth, tying its lyrical concepts to the classic movie The Wizard of Oz (start the album off at the MGM lion's third roar at the beginning of said movie and see how many 'coincidences' occur...)Here the album's origins and enduring imp find out more...
