1968: I'm ready to declare a 10-way tie before the first note.

"Baby, Now That I've Found You" is actually somewhat of a Katrina on WCBS, the NYC oldies station.  As are "Cecilia" and "People Got to Be Free," for reasons that elude me (yeah, they're great songs, but why *those* songs instead of others by those artists?).


I have not heard "People Got to Be Free" onthe radio in 30 years.  Has Dave ever played it?  My folks had the single, so it was one of my childhood turntable faves.

Nice segue from the RFK assassination clip (which we've heard lots) into Albatross (which we haven't, at least not so much on 10@10).

As Urth noted yesterday, Dave's been impressively digging in the crates lately, a trend that continues today with "Honey Chile," a breakout for me if no one else.


He has played it, perhaps in an all-Motown set.  But it's rarity enough for me to say "kudos, Dave". Marfa never got her full due, IMHO.

I like "Scarborough Fair" better with Muppets singing it.

Note to POC:
Just saw some cool pics from your Argus gig the other night. Very cool Hendrix-like shot. You'll get a link to the online album.

BOS #2, S&G, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle"

Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.

Tthe melody progression on those last 5 words knocks me out every single time.

Ha!  I mentioned this Vanilla Fudge coke jingle in my article for StarPolish.com on the EMP Pop Conference!

http://www.starpolish.com/features/columns/article.asp?ID=733

I have this and 50 others on CD, need to find a way to get them all to you.  "For Educational Purposes Only," as Douglas Wolk was careful to disclaim as he gave me the disc.

If you played "I Can't Stand It" and "I'm Losing You" at the same time, would you notice the difference?

Minor coincidence: I was listening to Camper Van Beethoven's cover of POMM yesterday afternoon.

"20,000 eyes diggin' Vanilla Fudge..." That was legendary NY DJ Rosko doing the voiceover.  That Coke CD was commercially avail at one point, is it now out-of-print?

Hey, there.  Finally showing my face in the net.  BOS for Pictures of Matchstick Men.  Have you heard the Camper Van Beethoven version of this?  You should.  A violin does "the riff".  Funny.
