I apologize for not taking care of my pledge yet, although I promise to take care of it today. My lameass excuse: I've been in remote Amish country where there isn't any internet connection, working on the drag Plymouth. Forgiveness is necessary for me to rock on! | |

Joe B:
Hi Mike, yeah, Cheap Perfume were on the Max's/CBGB circuit circa 1979-81 I think and recently reunited. very cool stuff. Mrs. Richard X Heyman is the bassist or one of the guitarists! |
|
Tue. 4/3/12 12:58pm
Mike East:
Nice. He put them on around the time when my wife was getting tired of my radio and ready to put the TV on. Cheap Perfume came on and she asked who it was. I told her we'd have to wait for Mr. Kelly to back announce since he doesn't do a live playlist. I bought myself a extra half a set of music with that. | |

PFFlyer:
@JJA...I'm thinking "D", based upon my observances out at the ol' hobby hide-out. However, I'll venture a guess based upon seen be-headed woodpeckers that other species are much lower in the survival game. | |
|
Tue. 4/3/12 1:03pm
efd:
JJ Audobon, I don't know the answer to that but I DO know that "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" was by Neil Diamond, not Gary Puckett. Although lyrically speaking it is very similar to most of Gary Puckett's material. | |
|
Tue. 4/3/12 1:03pm
John James Audubon:
That last robin's should be robins, I guess. Answer - B Nice try, Mike and PFFlyer! | |

|
Tue. 4/3/12 1:05pm
John James Audubon:
@Evan. I couldn't be more embarrassed. You are so right. It does sound like it could have been a Puckett song. The one I like best, which is little-played, was "Don't Give In To Him.' A great song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD9wRg1cRiM | |

@ "The Barons" psych FLA, from back in the day....guessin' very late sixties when I passed thru Pensacola after the hurricane as a mere child, listening to the AM blast of local wanna'-bees. Ships flipped over in Mobile bay, AL, can see and hear it all even thou I'm a geezer now. | |

just figured out it was '69, Camille...didn't blow the town down....just washed it up via the surge. If you ever lived on the sun coast side, you know that is more damaging than the wind, right? | |

Davy trib show sounds interesting! Here's a little known fact...Audobon personally hunted and killed and had taxidermied every single bird he painted. | |

That Davy Jones track was the theme song to the 1971 film version of the Neil Simon play "Star Spangled Girl". | |

I watched the Sgt. Pepper Movie last week. Such a piece of crap - but so much potential. I don't know how they got five minutes into shooting that without someone reading the script and asking, "Are we sure this is what we're going with?" | |

Tue. 4/3/12 2:21pm
PFFlyer:
@East, yeah, yeah YEAH!! It was all about the promotion, baby, yeah? Dig it! Minds like mine had already been exploided, x-ploded, manipulated by the Mad-men! I'd buy it all back then, even the crapola movie which paled by comparision to the righteous "Hard Days Night". @ my friend JB, thank for the awesome surf. | |

And you know how he mows his grass two to three times a week, even though his grass is shorter than a golf course in Augusta GA? I'm not gonna' compete against insanity, I'm just going to look forward to Los Vigilantes and all the rest...next week, on the Belock network of freinds!

Saw Tom at Westbury circa early 80s. He was great but the middle age (at the time) Nassau County ladies really made the show with the flinging panties! | |

Sgt Pepper is hilarious camp- intent notwithstanding, and boasts some good by the Brothers and earth/wind/fire. Across the Universe has zero redeeming qualities. | |

@rubble - Sgt. Pepper had Billy Preston, too. I thought his part was great. | |

All this talk of flinging panties brings to mind a Rolling Stone piece from the early 70s about Slade. At their shows, they would scream "Give us your knickers!" Their home fans would enthusiastically comply, but American women didn't get it, and the show would be lucky to get one brassiere. The Stone's headline? "Knickers and Rahs in the UK; Snickers and a Bra in the US". | |

Re: Tom Jones I think Tom Jones' most recent gospel-y material is quite fascinating and powerful. I'm guessing he hooked up with a producer who was more keen on focusing on Jones' strengths instead of his perceived audience. re: Jezebel I was always impressed with this live version by some kids: http://youtu.be/vSd2Wx7eKTI Great delivery. | |

I actually saw Sgt Pepper in the theatre. Full price ($2). I blanked most of it out. It was stupid. Nels Cline and Thurston Moore are really tall. All the Killers are tall. The Volcano Suns were all tall, and so was Mission of Burma. | |

Mike Sin, I have to say that I'm not a fan of Jones's stripped down stuff. His voice is so big it needs something to counter it. | |

if u ever get to see Tom Jones in a club setting especially, go. Top flight band and he sounds better live than he ever has on a recording. And no, it wouldn't be a tom Jones concert if the stage wasn't littered with skivvies. Thankfully it's just shtick now- so people buy them just to bring and throw :) | |
