This is just about my favorite time for music.  Fortunately, Steely Dan didn't come until later to rescue the 70s.   I don't believe that, actually - I love the 70s.  The 80s, that's a whole nother thing.  Altogether....

I get a laugh out of it every day--having three threads today was the best!

Btw, Mike, I totally concur with your suggestion that we go with which ever one was started first. I axed mine, too.

John Barleycorn, yes? I didn't discover this record until about 1980, when I was in college, but it completely took over my turntable for several months.

Davefish, do you listen to Little Steven on Sun nites on the Bone. He had some interesting things to say this week about "Sgt Pepper" being the  death knell of the "real" rock single.

VHM the "Mill Valley" song.  Mrs. Somebody-or-other and her grade school class. There was a DJ in NY (Jonathan Schwartz, erstwhile Sinatra-phile) who played this regularly.

Nupe.  Don't listen to the radio much at home with the whole family to entertain.  Maybe I should check it out.  BTW, you know who I am, doncha?

BOS Mashmakan. As I've said many times, Fastball's "The way" owes a huge debt to this one.

Mashmakan showed up in the docu "Festival Express" -- I had no idea they were a jazz-rock outfit.

Or however you spell that.

Dave hasn't trotted this one out for awhile. I was surprised to see their name listed among the bonus footage on the DVD version of Festival Express. Gotta sit down and watch that soon.

BOS tie between the Doors' "Peace Frog" and the Mashmakan song, which I've honestly never heard anywhere *but* 10@10.  The lyrics don't scan well but I think that's kind of why I like it.

VVVHM, of course, to Sly + Fam.  Always a pleasure.

Astonishing coincidence: All the Pain Money Can Buy was the CD I was listening to yesterday in my commute.  When "The Way" first came out, either the Bay Guardian or the SF Weekly claimed it cribbed from Tom Jones' "Delilah"; ever since, I've only been able to hear the song through that lens.  (Mixed metaphor, sorry.)

I vaguely remember it getting (brief) Top 40 play in NY (it was early 1970 and Kasey Kasem was not yet syndicated).  Then in the late '70s I had a roommate who owned the 45 and it was one of his fave obscurities.

I fully expected "The Way" to finish first in Pazz & Jop that year and was disappointed when it came in much lower.

VHM "Seattle", aka theme from "Here Come the Brides", Bobby Sherman's peak as an actor  :)   At least it wasn't the Perry Como Top 40 hit version.

Too many BOSs today.  Easily Set O' The Week.

Yay for the Marmalade, even if it is dour and soppy and morbid.  This would have been a #1 if Badfinger had done it.

Post by: urth on February 04, 2005, 10:35:50 AM
10-way TIE!!

This set is likely the best I've heard so far in 2005. Numerous nuggets, great TV themes, although a dearth of news clips.

Good call on the Marmalade tune.  I bet The Babys coulda done pretty well with it too.  I really do dig the harmony.

Pronunciation questions:

1. Dave used to pronounce it "Mosh Ma Khan."  Today it was "Mash McCann."  Which is right?

2. I think Dave should have deferred to British protocol and said "Marma-LAHD" instead of "Marma-LAID."

Back to you!

I got a phone call just as the buzzer rang, what was BOS & HM's?

I heard most of the set although I lonly got back to my desk for the last couple of songs.  Very tasty, but H, JF & R are now officially a katrina in my book, one of the few songs prior to 1977 that has earned the distinction.

I believe it's on the "Best of" that was released in the '90s... It may not be identified as "the Iveys", though.

I probably said this before but I always think there shouda been a parody song:
"Rosemary Grows Where My Love Goes"

It's lovely, and kind of astounding that Warners actually spent some time promoting it -- it actually charted and got to #90, and as I mentioned yesterday, got airplay in NYC.

When you lived  here, did you ever make it up to Mill Valley, specifically Village Music?  Quite a treasure trove.  Next time you make it out here we'll have to do a field trip.
