Today on 10at10! Cool.
-
Yay. Yay. and again, Yay.
maybe a belated "Ode to Billie Joe"? Betcha we get Kenny & the First Edition.
-
I'm listening but really slammed at work, so probably not too much participation from yours truly this morning.
-
"Pushin' Too Hard" is from '66, no? an overlapper?
-
First VHM - "Pushin' Too Hard"

Whitburn sez: chart entry date 2/11/67

AGGGHH, I'm gonna miss a great set: I'm helping someone paint an apartment hallway this afternoon as a side source of income. Will tune in for the night replay. Enjoy the afternoon and weekend, gang!

"this time around..." ???
I have NO idea who that was.
-
I think I'm peaking.

Timothy Leary, methinks.
Dave sez we're playing spot the vinyl today too.
-
I think I'm peaking.
Just don't end up like Diane Linkletter :wink:
-
sounds so good, so good
-
VHM 2 - "Strawberry Fields", VHM 3 - "The Crystal Ship"
-
best bass of set so far to James Jamerson (I presume) for the Supremes song
-
VHM Robert Knight, "Everlasting Love". Not a big hit in NY at all (oddly), I didn't really discover it until years later, when the Carl Carlton remake charted.
-
One thing Bob has over Dave: he plays a lot more obscure Monkees LP cuts. "I'm A Believer" is a bit ho-hum for me this morning.
BOS Byrds. Wish Dave'd play the Patti Smith cover of "So You Wanna be a RockNRoll Star" some day.
-
The Byrds, sound better all the time.
-
I thought he might play the whole "letter to a long haired son" or whatever it's called. Deja Vu is too strong.
-
OMG! there's yer spot-the-vinyl! "Open Letter to a Teenage Son". Wish he'd played the whole thing. Talk about a flashback.
-

Wow--what a jingoistic piece of crap.
-
I've never heard this thing before. Dang.
-
BOS Country Joe! "and it's 1-2-3..."
-
The album is way cool, wish some other song was played, but of course, the Vietnam thing makes this song historic.
-
too busy to post much, my BOS goes to Country Joe.

There was an "answer" record to this, as I recall. I'll look it up. For historical context, tho', it was great to hear. Dave worked overtime today.
BOS too, the 'oo!
-
my BOS goes to Country Joe.
Such a great year musically, hard to pick, but yes, me too!
-
maybe it's just me, but "I Can See For Miles" is sounding SOOOO TASTY inside this set.
loving all of Dave's 1967 newsclips, too.
-
what a great song. I would prefer to hear Judy Collins, but hey...

Nice job with the rotating (and topical) avatars, Geoff.

Okay take it all back, BOS for Leonard Cohen. I had no idea that this song went all the way back to 1967.
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she’s half crazy
But that’s why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you’ve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind.
And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said ’all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them’
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you’ll trust him
For he’s touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind.

"I'm A Believer" is BOS? Fogheads? Dumb. Dumb people.
-
And the sun pours down like honey

think Joni Mitchell liked that line?
and the sun poured in like butterscotch
and stuck to all my senses...

I don't usually feel Fogheads are dumb, but it definitely occurred to me hearing the Monkees won. Gee, do you think the average Foghead doesn't remember 1967?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-

LOL! Well, they remember that Monkees TV show they saw in syndication as a kid. So, that's "1967" to them.
-
If anyone was interested, today's bonus track was Love's Alone Again, Or. Wonder how much say Dave has in picking those, or if it's entirely up to Annalisa? Either way, a nice choice today.
And another superb week of 10@10s--four of the five were darn fine (the 83 set being the one subpar example, and it wasn't that bad.)

I don't agree, anyway. Nothing at all wrong with "I'm A Believer," except maybe that it's played a little too often. What's your complaint with it?
-
What's your complaint with it?
Oh, I have nothing against the song itself at all.
I just think that given the wonderful choice of musicians we got today- picking the group that was created for a TV show (a group made up of, like, one musician & some actors who learned mighty quick, from what I understand) is a little like being presented a feast of delicious, fresh home-cooked food and chosing instead to eat some McDonald's you picked up on the way home.
Or, to put it another way: I'm being an elitist....

I certainly wouldn't call the Monkees the best artists of the set. But the song itself is a pop gem. Still, I woulda voted for the Who, myself. But "I'm a Believer" never fails to satisfy. And I wouldn't call someone dumb just because they voted for it.
Now, the people who vote for Bay City Rollers....
-

Fair enough. I'll withdraw "dumb". Apologies if I've offended anyone here.
In it's place I'll say: "Fogheads? Too bad so many of them who called in to vote weren't able to appreciate the other artists enough. Perhaps many of them were hearing those artists for the first time and, since they were "unfamiliar" to them- they chose to go with something they knew".

Not biting on the Bay City Rollers elitism, eh? Should have included ABBA. Anyway, here's a funny "idiot Rod" story:
So, Sharlene is listening via the web these days. When "I'm A Believer" came on this morning, I responded to one of our emails, quoting some lyrics in a totally sappy/loveydovey way. Sadly, I later found out, I replied to THE WRONG EMAIL, sending the sappy message to our Network Administrator and system architect instead. It wasnt' til much later when the Network guy replied -- quit monkeying around! -- that I realized my error. The system architect guy is out today, so I'll have to suffer through some more embarassment Monday.
Sharlene thinks it's hilarious!
Can I borrow your tamborine, Beej?

I'm one who really wishes I'd heard the bonus. There is definitely something going on here; the shows are definitely not being 'phoned in' as they sometimes seem to be.

Mark thinks it's hilarious, too!
Listening on the evening recap, but didn't get the tape going in time. Hope Urth did better.

Ultimately, yes, but only by the skin of my teeth. Missed getting last night's repeat as we were out to dinner & were in the car on the way home when the set started. So this am when Sarah left for work a little before 7, I got up & started the tape, figuring I'd catch it whenever it aired, and went back to bed. Arose later, in time to hear the end of 83 and most of the 75 set, and nearly shut off the deck when Dave's bumper at the end indicated that the next set would be 94. Lucky for me I didn't, as the final set was actually yesterday's 67--whew! (The engineers that work on Saturday mornings must not be the brightest bulbs, eh?)
And I, too, think Rod's faux pas was a hoot but give him big props for deciding to share it with us anyway.
PS--Hey Alicat, how's the new gig going?

Indeed, they swapped the '94 and '67 sets -- it was a rude awakening at around 7:50 when Dave said '67 was next and it turned out to be '94. Needless to say I dozed off again :wink: But Dave's set-up, "Saving the best for last -- 1994!" was overdoing it a tad.

The jury is out. Glad to be employed but it's very busy and not terribly stimulating. Benefits suck, really suck. I think I need to stay employed but resume a search for something different and better benefits.
If MShray gets his new job, he might be able to help me find a new one.
MShray?
