In a recent post, i exulted that the courts had ordered the discontinuance, recall and destruction of the "Bratz!" dolls line. Apparently other people feel the same:I've been following a webcomic titled Punch an' Pie (that link is for the man page, th eone for the specific strip is below, and don't ask me what the strip's title refers to) - from whence cometh the image below - which (mostly) f...

Harry Nilsson was a crooner for a generation that turned their backs on the musical styling that their parents generation had grown up on. Nilsson took cues from some of the great voices before him, and with the revolution of singer/songwriters that were beginning to flood the airwaves, he managed to create his own style that was more indicative of the pop charts of the day.An amazing singer/...

Harry tells the story in the Personal Best anthology about these tapes, recorded on March 17, 1967 while auditioning material for The Monkees and their producer Chip Douglas, less than a month after Harry signed to RCA Records. The performances here are short and sweet, and the sound is incredible, as Harry quickly breezes through his material on acoustic guitar and piano - often changing his m...

The idea of this post is to try to create a musical path or mix of certain elements (cover, sample, or auditory minutiae that can connect the tracks) of a song and see how far you can go with it. This is a test of your music geekiness, so rack your brains and see if you can add to the post.For example I'm starting with Aimee Man's cover of Harry Nilssons ??One?? which will be followed by The B...

Two of my favorite singer-songwriters. I love this cover of Bob's song. Its got an incredible beat and a real explosive feeling to it. Another cut from the Pussy Cats album he did with John Lennon.

Covers Sunday again. Here's a little gem off a great library find of the remaster of Nillson Scmilsson, that included a bunch of bonus tracks.The Badfinger story is one of the more tragic rock n' roll stories out there. I wont go into the full details here, but basically you had a great band that got mired in label mishaps and a crooked manager and were unable to perform or tour due to a lawsu...

"Pussy Cats" was an album by Harry Nilsson released in 1974. It was produced by John Lennon. At this time John was separated from Yoko (at her request) and he was in LA partying and hanging out with guys like Keith Moon and Harry. They got into all kinds of trouble including getting kicked out of a nightclub for heckling The Smothers Brothers. This is one of the songs that John Lennon wrote at...

This one goes out to a Mog friend who says she doesn't know the song.I wish she could hear the best version!

OK, so technically, it isn't a holiday tune, but, I do believe Harry says "Joy to the World" at one point. Hey - that's close enough for me!

A truly beautiful recording (well maybe not beautiful, but important in the grand scheme of things) of course I think it's beautiful...An Amazon review -One of the true (and few) masterpieces of popular music, this is a record that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as "Pet Sounds", "What's Going on?" "Music From Big Pink".... whatever. There are not enough superalitives to express the...
