12 June 2009: back to the '60s! (1967!!)

[yessongs]

Woo Hoo Monkees!!  --  Hitting *all* the right notes for 1967 (plus some I'd never heard before).  Great Set !!!!!!!!

[Tinka Cat]

it quite literally blew my mind.

Must have taken forever to scrub it off the walls.

maybe his "mind" is his name for his "armadillo."

So an "armadillo" was period slang for a hummer?

prob not...  I was thinking armadillo meant the appendage

This is why I consider 1967 the peak year for rock music.  And we didn't even TOUCH on some of the great R&B of the year! (Aretha and Otis were debuting, Four Tops were peaking, and the other Motown acts were going strong too.)

Loving this Nuggets-centric set (although '67 was prime Nuggets territory).

BOS-whatever for Steppin' Stone. Not officially a Nugget, but you could see them from here.

"I can see Nuggets from my house!"

Only the fourth Monkees song to appear in the DB, after I'm A Believer, Daydream Believer, and Gonna Buy Me A Dog. Still another for the bustout roster.

would love to hear the Porpoise Song some time

Whew!  I need a (funny) cigarette after that set!

Nah, I don't really know anything.  That was just a play on the line from Buckaroo Banzai:
-- "Why is there a watermelon there"
-- "I'll tell you later."

You mean you weren't already smoking one?

sorta related to this set,  I mentioned Porpoise Song by the Monkees and found this (poor quality) vid from the movie Head, which I've never seen, but now must!

Jimi!

are you... listening to the radio? well, geoff is ('cause he's 2 minutes ahead of the rest of us)

cut me some slack, I was posting from my iPhone while Martha was driving me across town to pickup my car!  No KFOG streams yet available for iPhone/iPod Touch.

I can give you Head when you're in NYC next month.  Warning: it's not a very good movie.  The "Porpoise Song" and "As We Go Along" segments are highlights, but it's mostly an unfunny stoner excursion.

PS to Geoff: speaking of which - nah, I can't smoke while I'm at work!

All these years, I just thought it was the word Armadillo, because it sounded cool, but hey, if you guys know the secret sex slang, who am I to question?

I know it's a good set when a Monkees entry is only the 5th-best track.  Peter's "NOOO!" yelp is a GREAT garage moment.

while we were driving, I was thinking of whether this song would be easy or not for my band to play at the hospital gigs, and wondered who actually played on this track.

I don't know anything about the true meaning, and this was quite the sassy tangent, but my comment was colored by my understanding that Marty was/is kind of a galavanting cad.
