What the frag have I stumbled on here - this sounds like a student audio doc - it's all about Psychedelics and features Tom Taylor, Kips and I think Ilsa (sorry if i've spelt that wrong) may be in there and Wevs.
It also features music by Hawkwind, The Doors and Giblets & Cheese!

WTF? Where did that come from?
The tape this came from sounds like a Kipz compilation - after this doc comes plenty of Kipz classix such as Throwing Muses, Killing Joke, Cocteau Twins and a whole side of Van Halen.
It's a great find, I wonder if Tom has a copy of this?
I love the bit when Wevz is talking about Magic Mushroom Nipples!
woah! - I forgot about that... Wasn't it on radio aire? I can't remember.
FRAG indeed!!
what a bunch of effing hippy kids!!
hahahahah
nice find!!

Man - you've got some time to kill, Foggy! That was from 90 or 91 when I fell in with some 'journalist' types. They didn't think much of my offering. It was never broadcast, but it was a bunch of fun to make. I'm especially proud of my editing - quarter inch tape and a razor blade . . .
Listening to it again, most of it is rubbish. What is that pompous nonsense I'm spouting?
Still - check out the edits in that LSD montage . . . Seismic!
It's all good man! But I always thought Ginsberg was off his trolly... Ah to be young and smashed on mushrooms / acid ... Firs t acid I ever did was a black micro dot in the Albion - Woooah!
Who else is on this doc Tom? That guy on about the indian head dress sounds like that guy who's in the Art of Noise, Paul Morley - that's the one!
Ride the Snail!!!!
...and how the hell did you get John Peel to voice the Don Juan bits?
The other interviewees were Susanne Cowan and her (now) husband John - the Indian head dress guy was called Fred (if you ever come across a band called Vaguely Spongy, that's him) and the Don Juan bits were voiced by Des Smith, tv producer and one time director of Coronation Street. He used to live in Boulder Clough in a house with 2 staircases and say things like 'Ideas are ten a penny, the hard work comes after that'.
Other voices are the aforementioned 'journos' - let's see if I remember. William Blake was a chap called Roland; I can't recall the narrator's name; Ginsberg was this really geeky kid called Nicky with a Pat Sharpe mullet (Nicky is a girl's name, surely).
