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.

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.

The Party was a great movie, but I must confess, I was hoping for Valley of the Dolls as 1968's "10@10 Goes to the Movies."

BOS #3 Hugh Masekela.  This is when South African Music finally got put on the map for most folks, for which Paul Simon repaid Hugh as much as he possibly could 20 years later.

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.


"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?

Really?  Wolk specifically stated that it hadn't been available, that he acquired them through other means (eBay and P2P, I'm guessing).  Among the highlights: Uncle Ray and Ree-Ree together; the Left Banke; and both the Who and Dusty Springfield singing of "Great Shakes," which I wish was still on the market (the malt additive, not the songs).

Ironic that Illinois, which cost Nixon the election in 1960 ("it is being reported that every cemetary in Cook county went strongly for Kennedy" as the old joke put it), should be the state that put Nixon over the top in '68.

BOS #4 & #5, respectively for Paul/Beatles & Cream.  Cream is making me feel like taking the rest of the day off & starting the weekend early!

...like you never ever done one wrong thing.
