Anything else? Anybody? Email (dmorey@kfog.com) or add to the "comments" section of the blog.
THANKS!!!
Not much there we haven't heard before. I think we can punch up that list a bit. Gentlemen? Lady? Let's discuss.
-
Comfortably Numb? I'm not sure I get the theme but emailed in a few suggestions.

You're on the right track, but I think it's more geared towards psychedelic songs about psychedelic drugs. I've never been quite sure what drug Comfortably Numb is about--Xanax? Valium?

You know what would totally rule? If Dave played H.P.Lovecraft's "Mountains of Madness". Or "The White Ship". Grooooovey!
Alas, I won't be joining y'all today (Wed)- I'm doing a murder mystery in Livermore. I hope it's a good set. Have fun!
-
How about:
Tradewinds, "Mind Excursion"
Turtles, "She's My Girl" ("gettin' so high / up in the sky, that's where I was last night")
Love, "She Comes in Colors"
Electric Flag, "Groovin' Is Easy"
Jefferson Airplane, "Wild Tyme" or "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon"
Ultimate Spinach, "Ballad of the Hip Death Goddess"
Beatles (yay), "Tomorrow Never Knows"
-
Dave wasn't content to make this one blog-only; he talked about it on the show today. So now (if we know Fogheads and I think we do) he'll be deluged with "the usual suspects".

Wonder if that will or won't include "Legend of a Mind".

In keeping with the psychedelic theme here, I stumbled across another Nuggets compilation on the AMG front door--Children of Nuggets.
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:cu5j8q9xbtb4
Some interesting stuff, a few faves (Teenage Fanclub, Soft Boys, Bevis Frond), a good dose of the early-mid 80s Paisley Underground, and a lot of things I've never heard. Time to start making the Christmas list...
(And props to Gaz for the tip on removing all that gobbledygook from the AMG urls. Much more user-friendly this way.)

That'll be my Christmas present to myself I suspect. Couple of Dukes of Strotsphere tunes on there I noticed. Also a track from The Church that I was meaning to mention, "The Unguarded Moment" which predates "Under The Milky Way" & sounds quite a bit different.

not really my cup of tea, but here's Rhino's page. If enough of you want this, I can order them through WEA.

Ah ha, these are all going to be Top 40 singles. Well, this should be an early weekend for Dave, unless he play lengthy segments from the film itself.
-
Who's the TOTHC?
-
BOS Electric Prunes, one of the best artifacts of that era. Still wanna hear the Jerry Vale version.
-
HM Electric Prunes, man.
-
BOS $15 lids, man....

"Can I hear that again?"
Don Pardo, that funny reefer man...
pass the ee-lec-trickle banana, man!
-
I'm gonna take the Over on hearing Dave's favorite Dragnet clip, howsabout youse guys?
-
Definite BOS - "Are You Experienced?"
-
DEVO does a killer cover of "Are You Experienced?", btw. Man.
-
Yes indeedy. Are u experienced? BOS
-
nice segue into L in the S with D
-
According to John Lennon- this song is really about a picture Julian drew when he was a wee boy.
-
BOS Wild In the Streets...
-
OMG! BOS2 (and best unexpected treat): Nancy S, "Sugartown"! proxy for Gaz?
-
Heh. HM for "Sugartown". I never realized....
-
I'm not catching the drug reference in this last tune, does Sugartown mean everyone's using coke? Coke was, iirc, not well known in 1967.
Now here's "White Rabbit".
So at least three of the songs in this set have been claimed by their authors as anything but drug songs.

"Sugartown" is just, like, a totally groovy place, man. And in the context of the time, that can mean anything.

Sure, but until the mid-late 70's it was not being used by suburban white kids. And in any case coke is not a "step outside your mind" drug.
-
Well, there you go. Dave says "Sugartown" is about LSD. Oh, wait. Sugar cubes. OK. That works.
-
Who's the TOTHC?
American Breed "Step Outside Your Mind".
I tried to find it on Allmusic, but I didn't know it until the back announce.
-
can't WAIT to see what the bonus track is!
I think it had better be "Legend of a Mind", 'cuz we can't go through all this without an overt Timothy Leary reference.

Well, remember "Fogheads choose", so we'll see what choices Annalisa gives our quiz winner.
-
"psych-out"! bonus (?) Gaz's least fave, Ringo's "No-No Song".
Well, every drug set needs a bummer, I guess...

I thought it was pretty groovy, and when you consider how terrified radio stations are these days of being construed as "endorsing" drug use, this set (despite Dave's disclaimers) was actually quite subversive.
I had never heard the American Breed song before; I was surprised to see it was actually a Top 40 single -- #24 summer of '67, some 6 months before "Bend Me Shape Me" hit the Top Ten. Don't think it ever got airplay in NYC, musta been a Midwest breakout.
I bailed after the replay of the drug set and got to KPIG in time to hear Marley's Ghost doing "Guava Jelly", which I never knew was a Bob Marley tune -- I only know it thru the Streisand version (!) from ButterFly. And then they played someone's version of "Different Drum", which I'm tempted to say was Mike Nesmith himself, but they didn't identify it. Gaz? does a Nesmith version exist?

I wouldn't be surprised if Nez recorded his own version; he has revisited his works many times over the years. Also could have been the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who found Nez a sympathetic songwriter to cover during the early '70s.

I guess I was just reacting to the pop side of it. I was listening to KMPX/KSAN at the time, and songs like "The Pusher," "The White Ship," Fred Neil's "Cocaine." and Country Joe's "Bass Strings" were all on the radio too.
Bass Strings
Hey partner, won't you pass that reefer round,
My world is spinnin', yeah, just got to slow it down.
Oh, yes you know I've sure got to slow it down.
Get so high this time that you know
I'll never come down, I'll never come down.
I believe I'll go out to the seashore, let the waves wash my mind,
Open up my head now just to see what I can find.
Oh, yes you know I'm gonna see what I can find,
Just one more trip now, you know I'll stay high
All the time, all the time.
Yes, I'll go out to the desert just to try and find my past.
Truth lives all around me, but it's just beyond my grasp.
Oh, yes you know it's just beyond my grasp.
I'll let the sand and the stars and the wind
Carry me back, oh carry me back.
L.S.D.

I caught part of the replay last night and again this moring. I had the kids playing air guitar and groovy dancing to Are You Experienced?. Talk about subversion.
