This should be sweet.

So Gaz, a verdict on the Peak? I wonder what their year range is. Bet they don't go back to the '60s.

Initial reaction is very positive: they did an '89 set with some pleasant predictables (Sinead Compares 2 U) and some unpredictable Posies as well.  And a clip from Mermaids too!  Might be hard to get work done listening to three 10@10s a day, though.  :shock:

To be fair, it's a lot easier to guess with Bob; he draws from a far smaller pool (i.e., it's always at least a 90% white sausage party).

And we know how fond Mr Morrison was of displaying his, er, sausage.

Oom-Pa-Pa!  I feel like marching in a parade every time I hear this.  Taking a trip up to Abergavenny!

As an aside, I wonder why the Bonner/Gordon songwriting team was unable to have any hits with anyone but the Turtles ...

OMG, that Spyder Turner song is a trip.  "If Sam Cooke were here, he might sing it like this."  And I'm all, like, who the fuck are you to say how Sam Cooke would sing ANY damn thing?  And he ends up singing them all about the same anyway.

i think it depends on which version you're listening to. i don't know the bands names, so i'll be simple: the black version sounds like ruth/tooth, the white version sounds like roux/tattoo; i think it's because the brits didn't pronounce the "th?"

Floatin in a river with a saturated liver
And I wish I could forget it but I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it and I bet she will regret it
When you find me in the morning wet & drowned
And word gets round ...

Goin' Down.

ha! no he doesn't... :) i think my favorite is his billy stewart impersonation. maybe the chuck jackson...i've heard two versions of the song. one seems to be more radio-friendly - i don't know why i think so. anyhow that version is much less outstanding than the 45 version i have. he really goes to town on the impersonations on the 45.

Oh, wow: I don't recognize this song with Stephen Stills singing the lead -- is it Buffalo Springfield or the Mojo Men? -- but I love it already.  Did Bowie nick this riff a bit for "Rebel Rebel," or is it just me?

Just in time for the Who, which LP I just got at Amoeba the other day.

At one point in my early youth, when I was just discovering FM AOR & had rigged a radio in my bunk bed so I could listen after lights out, there was a week or so when every night at 11:00 the DJ would play "I Can See For Miles."

Been a big Who fan ever since.
