Title: 23 Sept 2010: it's... a Mystery Year (1967)
Post by: RGMike on September 22, 2010, 03:46:31 PM
"It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key."

ETA: FWIW, the '60s are the only decade we haven't hit yet this week.

I was guessing 67 or 68, since it has to be before CTA did it in 69.  But I couldn't tell ya for sure.

Not to mention the disco version (BoysTown Gang, or somesuch).

Yup, a Nez-penned tune from the Monkees' Headquarters.  I'm stunned to hear it.  Definitely an ATBB.

And now, one of my 5 fave Stevie Wonder songs.  Both Stevies at their best!

A Tammi Terrell doc was to air on one of the obscure cable channels this week; I saw ads for it while channel surfing.  Might have been PBS.  I don't want to see it - too sad.

I love when Marvin says "Oooh!" at that one point.  I'm not trying to be willfully obscure, and it's hard to describe the moment, but I'm sure you know it when you hear it.

OK, I have to mention this, I had Ray Parker, Jr's The Other Woman going through my head on Monday or Tuesday.  Not sure if I caught it on the radio or what, and when 1982 came up and you (and swelligant) requested it vi aFB and AL played it, I thought "there is some force at work here."

it's strange when these things happen, especially when you don't believe in that stuff.

Yup, a Nez-penned tune from the Monkees' Headquarters.  I'm stunned to hear it.  Definitely an ATBB.


Tuned in to the replay just in time for the end of R&R Woman, so got to hear You Just May Be the One. Very VERY cool. But I had no recollection that it was so short--was it even 2:00? An all-but-forgotten classic.

And am equally rhapsodic about the Spoonful's Darlin' Be Home Soon.  A timeless lovesong if ever there was one.

Y'know, the request thing can be kind of fun, but I think I still prefer the sets AL creates on her own, with no input from the Fogheads (including us).

ETA: Per AMG, You Just May Be the One was 2:00 on the dot. But then, of the 14 original tracks on Headquarters, only one was longer than 2:35.

Annalisa posted on FB that someone asked about the running order for tomorrow's marathon, so she revealed that they'd run in chrono order, that is Monday thru Friday. So if you wanna hear this set again, tune in around 9:30 or so, I'd guess. Might be tough for me. I gotta be someplace at 10 or so, but maybe I can swing it. This one was a shortie (even with 12 songs) so maybe.
