Alex in NYC needs to weigh in here!

dave q's proposition is that hippies = talk abt MINDS, punks = talk abt BRANES (which haha means that RUSH = PUNK)

"brain salad surgery" is 1973 but sadly no brains on cover

Although I guess it's not exactly disembodied.

oughtn't we add a warning if we're gonna post triggering images

sorry
Oh man, I was totally ready to post the cover of that Big Lurch album when I remembered it's a skull, not brains, on the platter.

i wz kinda huntin for something (raggettless) from b4 1978 -- i am happy to give rush priority if it will aggravate but it seems factually flimsy

Far from the earliest (1998) but probably one of the more gruesome.
― o. nate, Thursday, 24 April 2008 18:25 (seventeen years ago)
I thought maybe one of those early Sun Ra album covers might have a brain floating somewhere, but I couldn't find one.
― o. nate, Thursday, 24 April 2008 18:26 (seventeen years ago)
I'm pretty sure Man or Astroman had a disembodied brain in a jar as part of their stage line-up.

o. nate, isn't that a Joel-Peter Witkin? What album is that?
― Telephone thing, Thursday, 24 April 2008 20:34 (seventeen years ago)
Naked City's Grand Guignol
― Noodle Vague, Thursday, 24 April 2008 20:36 (seventeen years ago)
noodle, what's the date of yrs?
― mark s, Thursday, 24 April 2008 21:16 (seventeen years ago)
1968 or 69 I think.
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:14 (seventeen years ago)
Feels like there ought to be a novelty Bobby Picket-esque thing from the early sixties with a brain in a jar, but can't find one. Psych seems another good place to look, but that Open Mind cover was the closest I got last night.

i'm convinced there's other late 60s cartoon-art covers which work the way "the open mind" does -- ie looks like wave mindwaves or is it brain-matter? but not an actual pink blobbly brain like rush so enjoy
(the actual picture on hemispheres is a kind of brain-floored cover-version of the pf "wish you were here" cover i just realised)
― mark s, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:21 (seventeen years ago)
date LB?
― mark s, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:22 (seventeen years ago)
'72 or '73 iirc
― latebloomer, Friday, 25 April 2008 09:24 (seventeen years ago)
Um, mark, ...

it's admittedly a rather rare record

Yup. Those threads freaked out Alex in NYC.
Haha, NV, I went looking for brane by Googling Bobby Pickett and "Monster Mash" but all I got was Viv Stanshall with popping eyeballs.

In the canyons of your mind I will wander through your brain To the ventricles of your heart, my dear I'm in love with you again!
when i actually write my "sir henry at rawlinson end" book i shall spend more than half of it on my "bonzo dog DDB" = "secret motor of all pop and rock culture" theory AND I WILL BE RIGHT

In this particular cultural geneaology of BRANES you should totally read Emily Dickinson - eg http://members.tripod.com/~ElizBrunner/Scholar/DashFour.htm
"Dickinson hefts the brain like a shopper picking through cabbages at the market" - C Paglia.

It is clear that you are very interested in wrinkled retainers, Mark.
