28 September 2009--it's...1967!

Is this Jimi?  "Waterfall"?  New to me.

indeed -- from waterloo to waterfall.  BOS7FRA

[RGMike]

Rob Grill wanted to feel you inside of him; George is Within You. Dude!

[Davefish]

Another BOS for "Within You, Without You".  Though I have to say that when I was a kid, I always skipped this song when I listened to SPLHCB on our "low-fi".

[urth]

One more BOS for George and the Beatles, Within You Without You, but the Kinks still get the vote I'll actually cast.

I second that, I never much liked this song at the time ... still don't very much.

The GD tune was, indeed, Cream Puff War. Now there's one I'd wager Dave NEVER played.

Mmmmmmmm... cream puffs....

in all the years I've been listening, today is the probably the second time that I actually cast a BOS vote.  (Kinks)

I'm curious: How many folks here actually do cast votes?

I rarely do -- if something AL plays really gobsmacks me, I'll e-mail her. But I'm basically the Meg Whitman of BOS voting

As you probably surmised, I do regularly. Used YM during the Dave era, and nowadays I do it via e-mail. As they say, if ya don't vote, you can't bitch. I think Mark does, too, although not sure by what means.

[RGMike]

oops! Daryl, I was trying to move your Meg Whitman post to the politics thread so I could reply to it and I somehow deleted it. Damn.  Anyways, I'm really hoping the Dems have a GOOD guv candidate to run against her.  I voted against Ah-nuld -- twice -- but I was not at all pleased with Phil Angelides. He was a TERRIBLE candidate. Ah-nuld's poll numbers were in the toilet 6 months before that election -- anybody halfway decent coulda  beat him.

HA!  OMG, on local news Friday, I think they showed her giving a speech at a local company that did solar panel installation/manufacturing or something.  And while there giving a speech to employees (and media), she proclaimed that CA's "green jobs" bill was a mistake, and that many jobs will be lost because of it.

Awesome.

When the reporter called her on it, she brushed him off with a "yes, these jobs (solar) are good, but AB-whatver is not the right way to increase them or something".  He pushed further, and she gave this *incredibly* condescending/cutesy smile/grimace and said, "Sorry, I've got to go, thank you for your question."  Made me want to punch her in the face.  Holy crap.  Let me find the video...

O.M.G. Uber-BOS, the Kinks magnum opus, Waterloo Sunset. If ever a song evoked London in my mind, this is the one.

A while ago Mike had a link to the All-Time UK singles list, and this was #1.  So aparently a whole lot of actual Londoners agree with you.

Holy flaming mother of pop: the Bonus was Bobbie Gentry!!  and that desciption above of "Swinging Francie Barbie"  is incorrect -- Francie and Barbie were completely diff dolls (made by diff companies, iirc). Barbie's best friend was Midge, as anyone over 50 will remember.

ETA: turns out Mattell made both dolls -- but Francie was indeed diff from Barbie (she was supposed to be Barbie's "Mod" cousin, or something) and was nowhere near as popular.

Have you never seen Singles?  Esp. with your love for Seattle I'd have thought you must have at some point.  It's on the soundtrack album.

There's a scene where Campbell Scott is playing records for Kyra Sedgwick in his apt., and when she admits little or no knowledge of Jimi, he says, "You have to listen to this," and then plays this cut 'live' in the film.

Later in that scene Jane's Addiction's "Three Days" can be heard, but I guess it was too long for the soundtrack, too bad.
