Couple of tangentially-related-to-music thoughts:Part One:Hypocrisy or Just Genuine Cluelessness?Remember when Mattel got their knickers in a twist because of the car commercial that showed Barbie dumping Ken for GI Joe (the original 11-inch Joe, dressed as Indiana Jones) and his sports car, to the tune of *You Really Got Me*?Barbie is too squeeky-clean vanilla goodie two-shoes to do that sort ...

This post began as a comment responding to a comment:RGM of DeadManS OrcheStra says:Dig that drumming in the beginnig of that first vid!According to Ray, when the *Kinks* went into the studio to record You Really Got Me, it was decided (by who precisely, i forget) that *Mick Avory* wasn't a good enough drummer to record, so there was a studio durmmer, who apparently wasn't really ready for what...

unSpun is a new online ... thing ... (from Amazon) which maintains lists of things for visitors to assign ratings to - sort of an ongoing survey to decide, for instance (as seen on "*my regular blog site*":http://electronictiger.com/roare/2007/08/best-english-invasion-band.html, as the script doesn't seem to want to work on MOG), the greatest English Invasion Band.The interesting part is that y...

Track:
Back in '63 (wasn't it?) when they first handed *YRGM* in to the record label, the label people told them they needed the safety tape, because something must have gone wrong and this tape was too distorted to possibly release.Now a major teevee network uses an even more twisted version (not by the Kinks) to promote a major series.Ray tells the story about the recording session - i think it was ...

Pirate Radio or the (Fake) Boat that Rocked

Artist:

Track:
Claire and I went to see the new movie Pirate Radio on Saturday night and despite lackluster reviews circulating online - it was a completely worthwhile trip to the movies. While not a great or deep movie necessarily, The Boat that Rocked as its called in Britain (a more fitting title actually) is hilarious, fun, rife with British characters and constantly blasting a perfect 1960s soundtrack.
