Title: Friday Dec 16--its--holy crap, it's 1966!!!!
Post by: urth on December 16, 2005, 10:02:20 AM
A birthday request from Foghead Adrianne Marcus. Which, coincidentally, is my mother-in-law's name, but she wasn't born in 66. And it's not her birthday.

ETA: TOTHC is Little Latin Lupe Lu, a song I once saw Bruce Springsteen cover.

Yo Adrian!!! Foghead Adrian Marcus takes us to his birth year!

My son's name, fwiw, is Adrian Mark Schroeder.

This song makes me wonder HOW GOOD the Beach Boys could have sounded if they'd had a producer like George Martin.

Any guesses as to who the "black power" speech was? Mike would probably know, but I'm gonna say Eldridge Cleaver or Bobby Seale.

BOS - Yardbirds ... still sounds good!

Where's Mike when we need him? These last two songs are stumping me--the first one I know I've heard ("they make a boy and girl say they feel so fine") but the second one ( a very white-bread vocal group singing "No body but you") is a total stumper.

Now this I can relate to: Shapes of Things, the Yardbirds.

In the R'n'R HoF they have an interactive computer-based feature on the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll".  "Shapes of Things" was the sole Yardbirds entry.  I was quite disappointed that "Heart Full of Soul" wasn't included.

My guess is George (Martin)    :)

I've already forgotten hearing those.  Not much help.

Speaking of Christmas music, I was listening to the KFOG christmas feed yesterday.  Very nice.  I even liked Coldplay's gender reversed cover of the Pretender's "2000 Miles"

Something else from the mid 60's that you don't hear so much anymore: organs as the lead instrument.

BOS #4 "96 Tears"

and yet another, 4-part harmonies!

"Monday, Monday" hasn't sounded this good to me in a long time.

a very white-bread vocal group


I bet that's what it actually says in the dictionary when you look up The Turtles.

Revisionism: the whitebread group was the Turtles, and But It's Alright was J.J. Jackson. Missed the one before the Turtles. Mea culpa.

Damn -- as usual I miss the best set of the week.  Looking forward to tonite's replay.

Nobody knew JJ Jackson? For shame!  (Not the same JJ Jackson from MTV, tho' for years I thought it was.)

Hollies "Bus Stop" for the bonus track, but even better, they played the semi-long version of "Thick As A Brick" in between.  I have never heard KFOG do that outside of Dave's sets before.

I heard it last Monday night, around 7:45. I think Big Rick is on vacay this week, so whoever's filling in must have played it.

As usual, George proved himself a good follower: The chart on "Savoy Truffle" is one of my favorite uses of horns on a Beatles record.

P.S.  Glad I missed the Turtles' "You Baby."  Love the band, hate that song.

have I already told the Stax story of how the Beatles were rumored to be planning to record in Memphis around the time of Revolver?  Coulda/shoulda/woulda been the Memphis horns and/or Booker T & the MGs on GTGYIMY.

A wonderful set, hard to pick a BOS -- I'm tempted to say 9-way tie, leaving out the Ms&Ps, 'cause frankly I could go without hearing "Monday Monday" for a good long time.  But certainly the Deon Jackson (no relation to JJ) gets Best Semi-Obscurity, a lovely record and certified Carolina Beach Music classic.
