A Study In Contrasts
I must have stumbled across the Renfield feed with this one. Had to look up Peter Maxwell Davies.
I’m In My Glam Phase
Also I want the European woman who introduces the song to follow me around and narrate my various exploits.
She Does It Right
Some Dr Feelgood for the discerning bastard.
I Don’t Love Zep….
But getting really high and seeing this in IMAX would be fun.
We Can All Relate
The High Numbers
A revved up Ooh Poo Pah Doo and a great cover of I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying.
Are you a mod or a rocker?
Rolling Jones
There’s no shortage of Brian Jones documentaries, but I haven’t seen any of them. I may catch this one.
Zombie Season
A lot going on here that I missed when I first listened.
My compliments to everyone involved.
The Smoke
The Smoke seemed destined to be the greatest British band of the 60’s. Read on for their sad tale of record industry greed, radio station indifference, distribution mishaps, managerial exploitation, personal tragedy, substance abuse, mental instability, and an apathetic, capricious and philistine public…
Just kidding! They seem to be a classic 60’s case of one-hit wonders. I’d never heard this song until it popped up in my YouTube feed the other day. It became a big hit in Germany in ’67 (the year I moved, so I never heard it), but in England its progress up the charts was knee-capped by the BBC for drug references (the BBC did such a great job keeping young Brits off drugs). The most remarkable thing about this band is that not one of them did anything noteworthy before or after this song. Usually when you look into British bands with a hit during this period, you’ll find that at least one or two of them before or after played with someone you’ve heard of. But not these guys. Anyway, it’s a pretty good song and worth hearing.
