This collection is a re-mix of the full Garlock double-LP that I posted back in September 2007. The production was put together as a radio show pilot in December 2006. Since it looks like that radio show will never make it to air, I decided to offer up the program as a podcast and also as a download for burning to CD.
Frank Garlock is an evangelical minister who spent a good part of the early 1970s travelling to high schools preaching about the evils of rock and roll. He wasn’t speaking metaphorically either. Garlock believes that “what the musician believes affects the listener”. Talk about some heavy mystical powers!
“I played Black Sabbath at 78 speed” “and then what happened?” “I saw god.” –Cheech & Chong.
Garlock believes that the bible tells us what kind of music g-d wants for us, and of course rock and roll is not it. Yessiree, rock and roll is eeeeevil. So evil in fact that Garlock tells us we shouldn’t even dabble in it, lest we get “hooked”. Yet on his 1971 double-LP, Garlock claims to have listened to more than 2,000 rock and roll records in a single week. Do the math. Even at two minutes and thirty seconds per song, that’s more than 83 hours of music listening in 7 days, or twice as long as a full-time job. Poor Mr. Garlock was quite the rock and roll addict in those days, and yet the music never had any adverse effects on him – or so he claims. For all we know he is thoroughly deranged.

Somehow found you via StuffFundiesLike. I was raised in the church where this man was the music minister, and what can I say about this remix . . . cathartic and awesome. It soothes and subverts the initial PTSD I felt at hearing the man’s voice.
Thanks MasonDixon! I found the post on stufffundieslike.com. There is so much material on this double-LP, I could probably put together another mix at some point.
