Saving All My Love For You
Theme from Mahagony (Do You Know Where You're Going To)

My friends often kid me about my taste in music, but it's good to know there's at least one person who's on the same wavelength: I found a playlist on spotify that actually goes (individual songs in a row)from Howlin' Wolf to Jan Davis to Tennessee Ernie Ford to Yma Sumac to The Gee Cees. The whole playlist is over 9 hours and pretty much goes on like this.

Utterly adorable version of quite possibly my favorite Cock Sparrer song (which is saying a lot), by what their website describes as "a nearly all-female punk ukulele group based in London. We play songs by the likes of Dead Kennedys, Exploited, Xray Spex, The Clash, etc like you never heard ‘em before – as well as our own original tunes."

And of course they also "offer beginner’s ukulele workshops for for individuals or groups. We’ll show you some chords and strumming techniques and have you playing along in no time."
I demand that ironchimp enroll & report back.

Time to mention Topeka's own Morning Dew. It's a shame this band is basically forgotten, as they put out one of the best albums of 1970 titled, "At Last".
For your listening enjoyment, here is "Epic: The Mann/Death is a Dream".
The album cover has a naked couple on it and is therefore NSFW, so I am placing the video far below this warning.

Bobby Womack just passed away. My brother and I were talking about seeing him in concert next month. We knew it was our last chance considering Bobby's health.
R.I.P.

 One of my favorite Alice Cooper records is their third album Love It to Death. While the record is probably most known for the success of the hit single "I'm Eighteen" the better single in my opinion was "Ballad of Dwight Fry" which beautifully transitions from the previous track "Second Coming". The album ends with a brilliant cover of Rolf Harris' "Sun Arise". It's a fantastic record and there's really not a bad song on there. Although I often skip track 2 because it's on the radio so often. |

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the "Other Magazines" thread. Metafilter came up with some interesting history recently: www.metafilter.com/140432/Daily-affirmations-from-a-time-before-this-a-fanzine-trawlDaily affirmations from a time before this: a fanzine trawl July 2, 2014 9:47 AM Do you miss the music fanzine culture of the 1980s and 1990s, when publications like Forced Exposure, Bananafish, Conflict, Superdope, Crank, Siltbreeze, Matter and Lowlife cataloged the under-the-counter culture? Fuckin' Record Reviews brings you highlights from all of these zines and more! Check out the early writings of musicians like Steve Albini, Bill Callahan, Alan Licht and David Grubbs, as well as veteran rockcrits like Byron Coley, Gerard Cosloy, Tom Lax, etc. There's another about the early years of Spin magazine but the links need a lot of reformatting. I'll try to get that posted tomorrow. |

The heck with reformatting - go here: www.metafilter.com/89843/Spin-Magazines-early-days-putting-the-Gucci-in-Guccioneand all of the names in the text below will be live links: Founded in 1985, the first year of Spin Magazine spilled ink on all sorts of great American fringe music. Swans, Sonic Youth, Jandek, Glenn Branca, Hüsker Dü, and Squirrel Bait. The magazine's entire run is available on Google Books. The first year also featured writings from Byron Coley on The Minutemen - article, review of 3-Way Tie (For Last). Andrea 'Enthal post-D.Boon Minutemen tribute. Also worth your time: Henry Rollins on 7-11s, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, the Velvet Underground and The Stooges, and a Black Flag tour diary. Also, don't miss Richard Meltzer's Rock Memories. |
