The great lost 60s band.

Nice piece in Billboard about the making of "Because The Night" (though Spruce's perspective is conspicuously absent)...

You may have something there.





My YouTube search revealed that he was still doing it at least as recently as a couple years ago.

Well I'll be.

I passed on a $14 copy of George Harrison's Wonderwall Music (US, w/ insert) yesterday, and I'm feeling a bit of non-buyer's remorse.

Grabbed Black Flag's First Four Years and Minutemen's Buzz or Howl..., though, so could be worse. I figured I'd probably listen to those more, in the end.

Something I learnt today: in the big "band and friends" portrait on the back of Aoxomoxoa, the bearded guy at the very back wearing shades is Vince Guaraldi ("Linus And Lucy", "Cast Your Fate To The Wind")! Turns out he and Jerry were jamming buddies, and he supposedly even sat in with the Dead on a few occasions...

I found a copy of Mickey Newbury's RCA lp Harlequin Melodies for $2 still in the shrink! I heard hs original version of Just Dropped In made famous by KR and the First Edition. Mickey's version is trippy in a more raw way.

Why is it that Ray Davies had trouble with the brand name "Coca Cola" in his lyric, but Paul Simon had no such problem with "Kodachrome?"

"Kodachrome" was a b-side in the UK. (It was the BBC who objected to the Coca-Cola reference.)

Ah, I see. Many thanks, Charlie!

I had honestly never heard of Mac Miller until I read the news yesterday that he had died, and was even more confounded by the fact that he's been quite well known for about ten years or so. Weird.

I'm really starting to get worried.

For the past three weeks or so, I've woken up - not every day, but for quite a few - with Don Henley's 'The End of the Innocence' going through my head. It's quite upsetting, and I always wind up focusing on the little yelp he does when he sings 'I know a place where we can go-o' and it's doing my head in. I really need it to stop.
