That "Kelly Loves Shoes" was fun; thank god it wasn't Andy Dick doing it, or it all would have ended in tears.

Here's an (apparently recent) acoustic performance of "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us."  Russell has aged well -- while Ron, I suppose, has preserved well.

A small handful of people know that Terry Jacks ("Seasons in the Sun") had a #2 hit four years prior with his then wife Susan as the Poppy Family ("Which Way You Goin' Billy?," a song that might be about a soldier choosing the Vietnam War over his wife but which I find more interesting to interpret as about a guy leaving his wife for another man.  And an even smaller handful know that the Poppy Family aimed at the charts a few times, including this shoulda-been-a-bigger-hit:

The Poppy Family, "Where Evil Grows" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwO-6t_FBsY&feature=related)

Mercy, "Love Can Make You Happy" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzoeZTFj4TA)


indeed, a cheapie race-car flick from '69. This from a review on IMDB:

"The film features the oldies warhorse, "Love Can Make You Happy" by Mercy (billed here as The Mercy Group). When I knocked around Tampa/St Pete in '92(?), the Sunday paper ran a puff piece on the composer. As the story goes, the film's producer drafted his teenage son to concoct a love song...a queer notion, given that hardly a smooch is exchanged in what amounts to 90 minutes of antisocial behavior. At the time of the article, the song still earned him five-figures in annual royalties, as he fronted a lounge band, dreaming of a comeback."

Good question.  I had to consult Wikipedia on this:

"Following the album, three 45's of note, not included on the album where also released. What If We all Stopped Paying Taxes, released in 2002 just ahead of the U.S. Election, was a militant anti-war statement denouncing the Iraq War. Genuine (parts 1 & 2), in 2004 was an uncompromisingly hard funk record which firmly kept the interest of enthusiasts and their cover of Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In), released in 2005 but which was apparently recorded for a KFC commercial in 2002 but was never used."

Even though I'm old enough that I watched the Monkees in high school, I was not familiar with this song.  For some reason it struck a particularly poignant emotion of how long ago that time was in my life.  On a whim, I clicked on another version (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WAzl0iSMTO4)  which seemed to resonate with that idea, where Rose Marie (that's her, right?) is daydreaming of her long gone youth also!

More stuff I didn't know:  The song was written by Carole King/Gerry Goffin!

Esther Phillips covering the Beatles:

"And I Love Him" (http://www.classicsoul.com/ytv059.html)

John Lennon said that was one of his favorite Beatle covers, if not THE favorite.

You have no idea how long I've been looking for this:

Opening theme, "Nanny and the Professor" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=q02tQguLUsA)

For those who don't know, my avatar is of the two leads in this 1970 sitcom.  I adored Juliet Mills when I would watch this in reruns in the early '80s, and Richard Long, who played the professor (and, sadly, died four years later), is totally my type in the present day.

and the lucky Ms. Mills was married to muscular young boytoy Max Caulfield (of Dynasty/The Colbys and Grease 2 fame). He was many years her junior.

2. Prince was pretty awesome, and over-the-top at the same time, eh?

1. I'd thought it might have been Tim Renwick, but in looking up pictures of him to confirm, I see that it's definitely not. No idea.

2. Yeah, right on both counts. There's some argument in the comments below the video with people debating the merits of Prince's performance. I loved it myself--over the top, yes, but completely within the spirit of the song. And I loved watching Dhani Harrison watching Prince--he was just grinning like mad.

I remember this was posted on the web for a time shortly after the ceremony but got pulled down for some reason (VH1 giving their lawyers something to do, most likely). Glad it's available again.

Well, impressive for a country act to visibly give a shit about northern towns, and the shared vocals were all impressive, but I bemoan the absence of that tympani.  And I'm still pissed at Sugarland for kicking out the thick gal.

Now this is a curiosity: Tim Curry giving "Baby Love" the ballad treatment, circa 1976; the poster sez produced by Lou Adler.

Wow! Thanks for that -- a real find. *Very* mid-'70s production, and the "mellow" cover of an uptempo song (Rita Coolidge's "Higher & Higher", JT's "Handy Man") was a staple of the era..  His covers are a treat -- Dylan, Joni, he always does something interesting with other folks' material.

As a (mostly) left-hander, I'm always pleased to see lefty guitarists.  Do I lose cred points if I thought on the first notes that she was covering the Doors' "Break on Through"?

Trivia I know about her via Dave Marsh: she's from the same Texas town, Port Arthur, as Janis Joplin.

Man, she can sure bring it. Great voice and a rockin' guitarist to boot. I thought that first song was "What'd I Say"--which, essentially, it was. I'd guess the first clip was from the Mike Douglas show--didn't they use a lot of exclamation points in their stage sets?

And damned if she's not still alive--and playing! Per Wikipedia, she played Jazzfest in NOLa this year.

PS: I don't think I ever noticed how attractive young Herb Alpert was!  Was he considered so at the time?

(ETA: "A Taste of Honey" is competing with "Love Is Blue" and "Keem-O-Sabe" for my all-time favorite instrumental.  "Embryonic Journey" and "Water Song" are not far behind.)

And I actually agree: They were certainly far closer to one than the Ramones, who had a long career doing exactly what they wanted to do. The Pistols were, basically, the Monkees of punk.

One article I read said specifically that when Jett Travolta was very young and having health issues, Kelly Preston (and by implication not John) brought his condition(s) under control by following the teachings of Scientology.  Much like Cruise credits Scientology with 'curing' his dyslexia.

I suppose it's only natural that the Travoltas are dealing with some loss of faith feelings right now...I just wonder what the differences are between loss of faith in L. Ron Hubbard & loss of faith in the Judaeo-Christian God.

Jim Rigsbee, the Monday-nite oldies guy on KPOO, doesn't hit the '70s too often, but last nite he floored me by playing one of my favorite forgotten 45s, 1971's "I Hear Those Churchbells Ringing" by Dusk, a lovingly retro-'60s hommage to girl-group records in general and "Chapel of Love" in particular. And lo, someone on YouTube posted the Dusk tune with a bit of the Dixie Cups inserted for reference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAj7hV81KR8

Dusk were produced by Medress & Appell at Bell records, who had just scored with the first couple of Dawn hits; someone at Bell apparently decided "hey, we have a group called Dawn, so we should get one named Dusk". And so this short-lived retro girl-group was born. But what I didn't know until last nite was that the lead singer of Dusk was Peggy Santiglia, who had been lead singer of the Angels on "My Boyfriend's Back"! I think Gaz will especially appreciate this tune if he's never heard it.

Was just watching the two versions of the Lennon-McCartney tune that Gaz blogged about, and in some subsequent surfing found this version of Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me). I assume it was done after the fact as some of those pics post-date the song by a few years, but still a pretty good take on it, and it's a longer version than I'm used to--the lead-out is much longer, goes on beyond just the 4 Tops riff that usually ends the song.

(I'd never heard either version of It's For You before. Have to say I liked the second one better, but was impressed with the tightness of 3DN's vocals in the live setting. You could tell they were really focusing on each other and getting their cues.)

Re 3DN: If you ever get bored, check out some of their live clips.  Their vocals are astonishingly good, and it's hard not to be transfixed by the relentless wrongness of their outfits and hairstyles.  They were the anti-boyband, and their chart success makes me feel better about things.

Apparently he's "secretly" working on some sort of mockumentary (Spinal Tap-meets-Borat was one description) that is becoming less secret as time goes on. His appearance on Letterman last nite has a lot of people saying "poor guy, he needs help" but it looks to me like Dave was in on the joke:

Posted this on FB too, but for posterity: the original promo clip for Murray Head's "Superstar" when it was originally released as a single in late 1969 (more than a year before the "JCS" LP appeared).  This was basically Webber & Rice's "pitch" to Decca Records when they were trying to sell the idea of a rock opera about the Passion.

a hard-to-find film that got a lot of publicity when it was in production (due to the names involved) but which was deemed "unreleaseable" and barely saw the light of day -- ironically it produced the hit single "Daybreak" (NOT the Manilow tune) for Nilsson.

Putney Swope is one of the two movies I list as favorites on Facebook.  I have the DVD and the VHS!  The current Raider, Justin Fargas, is the son of 'the arab' in the movie, who you guys probably know better as Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch, a show I never saw.

when Swope came out in '69, I was too young to see an r or X rated movie, I caught up with it when I was in college -- but I remember there were radio commericals for it that used part of that song, with the phrase "dry hump" bleeped out!

OMGWTF  for me, they have a video of Fleetwood Mac doing "Dragonfly," one of my favorite songs, and a key to understanding Danny Kirwin's guitar work.  Most of the video is so psychedelic, you can't quite make out until the end that it's the Bare Trees/Future Games version of the band!

Just posted a 2-fer on FB of the Box Tops' "Soul Deep" and the GrassRoots' "Heaven Knows", which I've always thought sounded quite similar -- they charted around the same time in '69.  I prefer "Soul Deep" as a song, but the "Heaven Knows" performance clip (what show are they on??) is kinda cool -- one of the better-preserved clips I've encountered on the old YT. Gaz will love this.

Not insignificant that all the singers they namecheck in the song are black soul artists. James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha.

I wish this were a performance clip, but beggars can't be choosers. Heard this on KPOO sat nite, JJ's played it before and I just love it -- from 1972, a very early-MJ-ish cover of "How can You Mend a Broken Heart" by a pair of kids called Spoonbread (a Sylvia "Pillow Talk" Robinson discovery, apparently). The spoken-word sections are priceless.

Dead on about the spoken passages. Reminds me a little of Love Jones.  The kid singing lead seems to be having trouble hitting and holding his notes though.

I heard that the security guard he handed the bat to took it outside and just let it go. Which means that Ginobili is having to get a series of rabies vaccinations 'cause they couldn't find the bat to test it. (Standard procedure with bats, I guess.)

"Stay Close to Me" is delightful, and I can't fathom (a) how it made only #91 in 1968 or (b) how I'd never heard it til now.  Maybe Freda Payne shoulda taken a crack at it.

Post by: Wayback on November 22, 2009, 04:58:36 PM
Don't know if this is the best thread for this 'breaking news' but the officer was doing his job, removing the obnoxious drunk from the train.  He then went to put the guy against wall and the glass accidentally broke. The passenger near end of video could have just used call-button in train to have train operator summon help.
BART cop pushes man into window
Video shows glass shattering and injuring officer during an arrest at the West Oakland station.
(11-22) 15:22 PST OAKLAND -- A video posted online shows a BART police officer pushing a young man into a glass window during an arrest at the West Oakland station, causing the glass to shatter and the officer to suffer a serious cut on his head. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtKNoLFHomQ
The video was posted late Saturday under the title "BART cop breaks window w/drunk guy's face." This afternoon, BART officials were planning a press conference to discuss the incident, which they said happened Saturday.  Neither the officer nor the man who was arrested have been identified.
BART's police force has been under intense scrutiny since an officer shot an unarmed passenger to death on New Year's Day at the Fruitvale Station. The officer, Johannes Mehserle, who later resigned, is charged with murder.

I thought the repeated "Mama" bit was a clever way of avoiding the verse about, y'know, shooting a guy in the head, which is not exactly a Muppet-y thing to sing (speaking of rock songs about killing people, as we just were).

Finally got a minute to check that out--you're dead on with the Kinks/Davies comparison. Someone was *way* into the Village Green/Arthur period. But they really shoulda invested in a metronome--seemed to me like the tempo kept getting faster and faster as the song progressed.

Btw, loved the choreographed routine of the two Chicago news anchors--wonder how long it took them to work that out? Almost seemed like they do that bit regularly. Very very silly.

just getting around to this now -- great stuff! The Bob Crewe thing was NTM, as was the Glitter Band and Spin. Hagood Hardy's "Homecoming" was a cult fave at my college station (and one of those peaked-at-#41 unfortunates). "Hard Work" has always been a fave of mine.  And I'm still amazed Walter Murphy's "Flight '76" didn't hit big.

Mike, you especially are going to love this: Someone uploaded a series of clips to YouTube called "Songs of XXXX That Should Have Been Bigger Hits," consisting of '70s songs that missed the Top 40 but not by much, that should not be forgotten.  Here's a strictly instrumental set of 1976 almost-charters to get you started:

And then just look under Related Videos or click the profile name for more great stuff.

Great stuff there -- I actually remember that "Try" song by Cooker and Rick Cuhna's "Yo-Yo Man" was made famous by the Smothers Brothers.  I like the way Howell trades James Taylor for "Jim Croce on the stereo".  But LOVE the story about how Bill Amesbury became Barbara Amesbury!

And you thought Avatar was weird: the OMGWTF of the Week is this 1988 music video for "Reach!" by the band Martini Ranch, one of whose members was Bill Paxton! And the video was directed by James Cameron! And one of the babes was Cameron's then-squeeze (and now-fellow-Oscar nominee) Kathryn Bigelow!  Amazing.  I actually remember the song; had no idea any of these folks were involved back then. Look for the Paul Reiser (!) cameo at around the 2:20 mark.

ok, seriously, the kids are cute, it's really awesome that they seem to be related and are a family, but it didn't sound that great to me.  It could be the BART track whining in the back ground (and, really, how effing loud does it get in the Transbay Tube?  Any time I take BART I cover my ears in that tunnel), and face it, playing there doesn't allow for mych musical nuance.

your previous posts implied some question about that.  if they really need the money, in any case (my edit)  then more power to them, b/c at least they are expending some effort to entertain.

another edit:  I don't want you to think I'm unfeeling about folks who are on hard times.   My first post about them sounding bad musically did come off like that.  There's a bigger picture here that I ignored in my first post, to my detriment.  (anyway, the bongos are what make it sound "cult-y" for me!)

even WTF-ier: it's from an LP called Low-Rent Rendezvous -- yes, they do a soul cover of the Amazing Rhythm Aces "Third-Rate Romance" (sadly, not on the Tubes of You).

A recent Intervention episode concerned a woman who as a 16-year-old had been a Soul Train dancer.  They showed some clips. She advanced from the show to A&R by age 21 but got hooked on crack and removed herself from the world entirely.  Sad.

And I think that is a fucking FANTASTIC song.  (I also enjoyed Grant Lee Buffalo's treatment of it on the '90s Carpenters trib.)

This was inspired by hearing Mr Williams talk about it on "Lost 45s" -- he said, since it was a 60-sec spot, that he was trying to describe a wedding in as few words as possible, and "white lace and promises" did the trick perfectly. Genius, really.

Thanks!  Too bad the camera spends so much time on the beautiful young Paris hipsters, and not enough on the historic work of Green on the famous Les Paul that Gary Moore ended up with.  For me of course, I'm more familiar with the Fleetwood Mac version, from the Fleetwood Mac in Chicago, Vol 2 disc.

Yeah he had a lot of fun with it.  Adrian is just finishing 5th, but Fallon is a K-8 the past few years (next year it becomes a 6-8 Middle School only).  Anyway, after his performance one of the coolest 8th grade girls - star of the basketball team - came over and asked Adrian for a quick lesson.  It was pretty funny, because he wasn't so much embarrassed as completely clueless, but since I know the girl from having reffed 4 or 5 of her games I was able to smooth it out.  And at the end his classmates gave him lots of "Dude!  That was so cool how Juliana came up to you after!"

Who's next, Stevie Wonder?


How about Elvis?

Released just before Sesame Street's YouTube channel was hacked over the weekend, with videos replaced with hardcore pr0n. Not cool hackers, not cool.

Heard on Reddit:  "This is why we can't have nice things."

I can see that its all Page can do to hold back from launching into some of his Zep solos, but that'll have to wait about 12 years.  Speaking of Skiffle, here's a 2-min video on the woman who was the Beatles Fan Club secretary from 1962-70, it includes photos of her with the boys back in the day:

At his charity event Sat, Michael J. Fox re-enacted his Back to The Future scene of "Johnny B. Goode."  His guitar solo gets rippin' at 1:11 into the video:

Shoot, I spent a fair amount of time wondering where to post this, and, whaddayaknow, the last post in this thread was on the same band. Anyway, a trio of nice Canadian guys having dinner circa late '00's or 2010:

in a strange coincidence, Dave had a link on fb about the beginnings of Jefferson Airplane, and I noticed a link to a John Fogerty/Jerry Garcia/Weir benefit at Oakland Stadium.  A blast from the past for me, since I was the roadie for Randy Jackson that day (he was playing one of our basses.)  You can actually see me in the opening second helping Weir, and occasionally in the background.  I'm the huge bearded guy with a white and green Hawaiian shirt!  It's actually a pretty good concert.  Fogerty hadn't really been playing much at the time:

Great minds...I had the same thought when I saw this thread had been bumped up to the top of the Stream of Consciousness board. I think it must have been started around the time Google acquired YouTube and we all figured it would be controlled, censored, and generally watered down to a shadow of what it started out as. Shows what we know!

Youtube doesn't necessarily have to go away to merit heeding the titular warning of this thread --
there are plenty of other fates that may befall it that would markedly lessen its enjoyment.  One
of those is already evident:  the rise of advertisements, both pre-roll and popping up on the videos
themselves.

In case you haven't seen it, on the recent Kennedy Center Honors awards show
segment celebrating Carole King, Aretha Franklin tickles the ivories and then knocks
it out of the park on  (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHsnZT7Z2yQ).  A very moving
performance.

Forget about OK Go.  Never mind Animusic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyCIpKAIFyo) -- check out The Wintergatan Marble Machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q).

I'm not sure I want to find out if this is for real or not.  It's so amazing, I want it to be true.

A forgotten gem that adds to my opinion that 1971 was the best year for music.  Back in the day,
the whole track would be played uninterrupted on FM radio.

TANC: today is Sebastian's 74th birthday.  And it's funny: his previous LP, John B Sebastian, is near the top of my list of great lost gems -- I adored it in 1970 and it got tons of NYC prog-FM play. And I saw him that August at the "Summer Festival for Peace" at Shea Stadium. But this album did not get anywhere near the same kind of exposure.  I do remember hearing this wonderful 16 min suite a few times, however. Thanks -- that was lovely to revisit.

Another rare jewel... While Phil Ochs is best known for his protest songs, here he turns
his wit and lyricism to social commentary.  He keenly observes various attendees at a party,
and in the end, no one escapes his scrutiny.

In reference to the title of this thread, I've noticed that Youtube now occasionally plays
two pre-roll ads, and also sometimes runs an ad after a video finishes.
