Alternative 60's Jukebox:Funky Friday Edition

Posted almost 4 years ago
It's finally Friday, and it's a great day to wrap up the Mod/Psychadelic/Freakbeat section of my 60's alternative jukebox. There was some pretty funky tracks spinning back then. Let's honor Herbie Hancock, whoose "Jonie Letters" took the best album Grammy this year, with a track he contributed to one of my fave filmaker's classic's. Michaelangelo Antonioni's "Blowup" was the Italian filmaker's first major foray into an English-speaking film. The only other thing I can say is that at 1:45 this track is way too short!!Click here for the wiki on Blowup.bring on the birds-youtubeAnd, since this post has kind of taken on a life of it's own, here is the not-so-funky-but-from-the-same-film Yardbirds doing "Train Kept A Rolling", until Beck decides he doesn't like his guitar too much. Why didn't they just get The Who??yardbirds-youtube Click here for the wiki on Herbie Hancock.

    Bartleby says I couldn't all your tracks to play for me. - I know Les Fleurs de Lys from the Nuggets compilation a friend of mine lent me. - I'll try and check Julie Driscoll later. Re Blow Up, it is also one of my all time favourites. Here's the link to all the main locations in that film. Believe it or not but I live less than 1 mile from Maryon Park ;)

    waydutch says Excellent post - Thanks. Something else I never knew about before, may have to try and find a copy just to see the "groundbreaking" full frontal nudity shot if nothing else.
