Dave stones the Crow for the second time in under a week.  I still love the horns on "Evil Woman Don't Play Your Games With Me," even if the band didn't.

Gaz, the non-Motown Motown set is another one that Dave needs to do someday.

Thtnks for the ID on this 'un Gaz--I don't recall ever hearing this before. But Dave seems to be on a serious Horn kick of late. Think how much we've heard Chicago, ToP, Ides of March, etc. in the last couple of months.

And here's some Zep for Rod! Twice in one morning...serious BOS contender.

I can't describe to you young'uns just how different this album sounded when it came out.  It really was a significant sound.

more Zep for Rod to miss... unless he's fixed his speakers by now.

BOS2 for me (Flirtations being #1).

Gaz, I assume there were no original Flirtations left to be upset when Michael Callen stole their name?

I knew that John Mayer was working with some blues legend on "You Can Make It If You Try," but I didn't know what else was being done, and DEF didn't know it was out already.  Hope it's with Sly's blessing.

BOS2 to "Stand," hoping for something from Volunteers before we're done.  Crazy World of Arthur Brown would be more than welcome, too.

I notice Dave left out the part about how we "want to be free to get loaded!!"

Selvin panned the Sly tribute in last week's Pink.

Btw, did  anyone else look at the cover of last Sunday's Datebook and think "Court of the Crimson King"?

Indeed, I don't understand the dislike of HS&S. As bubblegum psychedelia goes, it's right up there with "Incense & Peppermints" IMHO

Poor Otis dead and gone... BOS5 (!) Doors.

Good calls, both.  Also, Edwin Starr's "S.O.S. (Stop Her on Sight)," which I'm pretty sure was issued on an indie and directly led to Motown snapping him up.

Yeah, you really have to buy into the Morrison Mystique (tm) to listen to the whole Soft Parade or Morrison Hotel albums on a regular basis.  The wheat-to-chaff radio got dangerously bad for them.

actually I was making a weak reference to this week's big local media firestorm at KNBR (the Giants station). But you may not be familiar, so never mind.
