Charles Manson
è conosciuto in tutto il mondo come uno spietato serial killer, in pochi sanno che in realtà non ha mai ucciso nessuno. Simbolo del Male ed icona della malvagità, Manson è ormai diventato un mito contemporaneo e le verità della sua storia si perdono nella leggenda e nell'aneddotica.
Questo Blog non vuole in ogni caso occuparsi di violenza e di fatti di sangue, ma di musica, perchè Charles Manson prima ancora di essere implicato nel drammatico caso Tate-LaBianca è stato ed è tutt'oggi un musicista. Qui troverete una descrizione di tutti gli album di Manson e della sua comune, la Family. Quando possibile ci sarà anche un link per ascoltare o scaricare i pezzi.
Tutto questo per far conoscere anche in Italia la musica di un uomo che, date le circostanze, non ha avuto la possibilità di esprimere la sua arte.

Charles Manson all'ospedale. All The Way Alive

Martedi 3 dicembre (o domenica, le notizie sono ancora confuse) a tarda notte Charles Manson è stato trasferito dalla prigione di Corcoran al Mercy Hospital di Bakersfield, a quanto pare a causa di gravi problemi al colon (si parla di sanguinamento gastrointestinale). Attendiamo ulteriori notizie. All The Way Alive.

"Charles Manson has been taken from his California prison cell to a hospital, a state corrections official would confirm only that the 82-year-old killer and cult leader was still alive.
Sources told the Los Angeles Times that Manson was seriously ill and was taken to a hospital in Bakersfield, about 60 miles south of the Corcoran State Prison where he has been incarcerated."

Older than us, younger than us, with his infinite music mind. Happy Birthday Charlie!
Here a rare recording of Manson singing a parody version of the song Girl from Ipanema:


Unearthly Trance / Wooden Wand: People say I'm no good/ Get on home

Unearthly Trance / Wooden Wand: People say I'm no good/ Get on home. Released in 2010 on Chrome Peeler Records as a split 7". Happy listening!


Get on Home by Uncle Acid

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats are an English rock band, formed in Cambridge, UK. In 2013 they released a 7" called Mind Crawler, with two songs. One is "Get on Home" by The Family Jams. I think they did a good work:


Charles Manson Monster of Rock



Valerio LEG is an italian artist that loves music. Last year he did a beautiful exposition in Pisa called Monsters of rock, and surprise! Charlie was one of the twenty one rock icons painted by Leg. It's not so common to find people that know Charles Manson is a music master. So Valerio and I have started to be friends and we decided to work together on a funny project: Monsters of rock the Book-LP.
It seems an LP but it's a book, it is a book but every page is a poster: 10 new Rock icons by Leg. Tracklist: Johnny Cash, Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Lou Reed, Angus Young, Nico, Prince, Mick Jagger. As you can see no Charlie in the book, BUT it's a great project anyway...
You can purchase Monsters of rock on our crowfunding here: MONSTERS OF ROCK
