Oh those discreet charms of the Kinks. As many of you patients out there in 115th Dreamland know, here at the asylum we love the dusty allure of the unreleased/lost album. Some of our favorites include: The Beatles Get Back (1969), The Beach Boys SMiLE (1967) and, now, The Kinks Four More Respected Gentlemen (1968). That's right patients, our rock 'n roll stethoscopes are talkin' about them ele...

New Yorkers trying to save historic Tin Pan AlleyA group of New Yorkers is fighting to save Tin Pan Alley, the half-dozen row houses where iconic American songs were born.The four-story, 19th-century buildings on Manhattan's West 28th Street were home to publishers of some of the catchiest American tunes and lyrics — from "God Bless America" and "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" to "Give My Regards.

The Kinks are an interesting band in history, everyone has heard their singles, but yet they never reached the massive commercial success of others at the time. The Kinks released a large amount of sensational records, yet you would be hard pressed to find people being able to name just one. Things become even more obscure when you look at the latter period of their career when they weren't d...

Lately I've been going on a little bit of a Kinks binge. Maybe I decided to jump onto The Kinks because I've been listening primarily to metal in the weeks prior to last. The Kinks were the perfect band to brighten up the mood, and what better way to satisfy my vinyl cravings, then by purchasing a Kinks record. Misfits isn't the kind of album you expect from The Kinks, but while it may stray...

Change is hard, and gets harder all the time. Change ebbs and flows around you, and you constantly have to ebb and flow along with it, or drop out and encapsulate yourself against the outside world. Much pop music made mourns love lost, but not a world lost, and innocence lost that is never to be recaptured. The 60s especially embraced a world full of life and change, and a dropping out of o...

Been under the weather lately, and a cup of tea seems to be in order. I’m also prescribing one more go-round with the soundtrack of the new Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited,” which - administered in regular doses - has managed to soothe my soul over the past week.Although some of my colleagues may not be as enthusiastic about it as I am, “The Darjeeling Limited” – the misadven

Inspired by EmergencyTrap's "post on love songs,":http://mog.com/EmergencyTrap/blog_post/7222 it's time for another mix list!My friend Viv introduced me to the Kinks' song "Better Things" when my ex and I split up. It's all about the good things on the horizon. Better things bound to happen. When she found love a while back it was time for a little nod to those better things. Love songs are...

Who?One of the essential British Invasion bands, the Kinks made everything from garage rock to concept albums and modern folk. While they were popular during their heyday in the '60s, the band's stature has grown over time, with their songs finding a second life on quirky indie film soundtracks (Rushmore, Juno). The real reason for their longevity, though, is that the music still feels releva...

I guess this is the kind of funky I'm feeling tonight. Sittin' here wonderin' if I'm readin' this right. You say I can't read 'cause I can't see the light.She says our daydreams are beacons of might.Still others, blinded by science and deaf to their senses, are so busy building electrified fences between idols & angels and diefied mensas....And they're all right!"I don't wanna live in this worl...

It's getting harder and harder to hide from bad news, he thought, as the red light on his BlackBerry flickered from across the room. This can't be good. Almost none of the messages lately were good. What he dreaded the most were the Facebook 'updates.' Why did he need to have all this information? Why all the sharing? Oh, look: there's the woman he had a crush on a couple of summers ago. He'd t...
