Today's the 1906 Quake anniv, and tomorrow is "National Record Store Day" (and all-vinyl set, perhaps?). Or we could just do a '60s year.

And don't forget, Earth Day is Sunday, so we could get that today or Monday.

BOS Max Frost & the Troopers, one of Mann & Weill's best songs-for-hire.

we get our MLK assassination clips 2 weeks late. But these clips are new to my ears, so worth the wait.
BOS2 The Band.

What a phenomenal quote. Name drops Romney Sr., indicts Congress going back to 1929, gives credit to LBJ for initiating the gun-control movement. And has unavoidable implications for the GWB administration..."a government of disaster".
-
BOS3 Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers.

Called Dave, he sez that newsclip was Howard K. Smith on ABC News. Dave asked me, "Did you here the buzzers going off at the end? That was the network executives calling him to tell him to shut up."

BOS4 Beatles (yay), "Mother Natures Son" do do do do do do do-o-o-o-o!

I watched that whole Al Gore clip that Geoff linked to on the Rant & Vent thread, and one of the main things I came away with is his statement that "We live in a Culture of Distraction". That resonated with me, and now the statement that "We have a Government of Disaster" resonates equally. I think those six words - Culture of Distraction, Government of Disaster - sum up our current predicament better than any other six words I can come up with.

I was out playing golf in the freezing weather, so I missed what looks like a pretty good set:
04/18/2008 - FRIDAY!!! Back, back, back to...1968!!
1. Equals - Baby Come Back
2. Amboy Dukes - Journey to the Center of the Mind
3. Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair (BEST OF SET!!)
4. Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hangin' On
5. Max Frost & the Troopers - Shape of Things to Come
6. Band - This Wheel's on Fire
7. Beach Boys - Do it Again
8. Bobby Taylor & Vancouver - Does Your Mama Know About Me
9. Beatles - Mother Nature's Son
10. Quicksilver - Pride of Man
BONUS TRACK: Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

Sorry to say I missed the set entirely this am, due to some family business and moving plans that all coincided to keep me away from the radio. Looks on paper like a pretty good set although not much we haven't heard before. I was shocked that the Vanilla Fudge wasn't in the DB, but did find we heard it in January of this year. Could have sworn it had been played before that--gee, you hardly *ever* hear me say that ;)--but not within the parameters of the DB.
Other faves/BOS contenders would be the S&G, Max Frost, Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers, and Quicksilver tracks, which is also the only song by them in the DB (didn't we hear Fresh Air once or twice?)
-

We have definitely heard "Fresh Air" more than once -- an Earth Day set or 2 (or 3), I'm guessing -- I'm baffled as to why it's not in the db.

I have my doubts - it was new to me as recently as two years ago, so I think we just heard it in others' sets.
HM to the Amboy Dukes, though it was a shame that Ted took the "beyond the seas of thought" to its too-literal conclusion, and BOS to the Vanilla Fudge. One of my more surreal NYC experiences was randomly meeting, not long after moving here, a publicist for the band at an Arthur Treacher's (!) in Times Square. She'd seen something on my person or on my bag that identified me as a music guy, I don't remember what. But she gave me the band's press kit and their then-new CD, which had some originals and some covers of contemporary material (including the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" and *N Sync's "Tearin' Up My Heart"!).

Remarkably powerful. Would that anyone in contemporary mass media have such stones now. Could bring some focus to this campaign circus, among many other things.
Oh, and I am SO TOTALLY going to find a way to use that title, "Culture of Distraction, Government of Disaster." The title alone would get it in the front window at Quimby's and Modern Times.

BOS3 from me (Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers get a vote too). I've spoken here before about how good David Freiberg sounds singing this live to this day.
