Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 6, 2015 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I prefer listening w/ the much-reviled iTunes - because I can do & see everything in one place there. Every stream site prefers you use their own player. So - it's a bit of a cat & mouse game getting the Stream Addresses...there are programs that tell you I should find out about...BBC funding is kinda Socialist - so getting stuff in the U.S. is sometimes tricky or just denied (YouTubes as well). I've found the BBC Radio streams change addresses now & then!...

re: Los Lobos. I made a horrible call in college in the early 80's when on the night of a blizzard, Los Lobos played at The Rusty Nail in Sunderland. I opted not to go, but my roomate did. Turned out that almost no one showed up, only about 15 paid admissions but Los Lobos were there and played anyway and did two sets and were apparently amazin. D'oh.

Hyde, I bet most folks have stories like that. I still remember on an early date with the woman I eventually married, we were at a local club for a three-band bill. My girl was not a late night person, and it was a Tuesday, so at her insistence despite my own reluctance, I agreed to leave after the second band. The third and top-billed band was a then-new ensemble called the Residents.

Stories of shows in small venues, some not well attended, non-punk version: LA Philharmonic at a high school auditorium (met Zubin Mehta backstage); Cheap Trick (Whisky, UC Irvine, Long Beach Auditorium, one other...they got better as the venue expanded); premier of a Harrison Birtwistle work at LA's Japan America Theater (sat in front of Birtwistle); same venue in Little Tokyo (Betty Freeman--of Cage's Freeman Etudes--stopped me to ask if we'd met at party recently).

I don't like The Doors at all. Still don't get Meltzer's attraction to them.

I was in a band that opened for The Sunset Bombers, Doug Feiger's pre-Knack band. We asked them if we could borrow equipment, and our request was declined. But later we opened for Levi & the Rockats. They were happy to share the gear.

I'm sort of with you, Rabbit. The problem with The Doors for me is that they're so overrated/overplayed relative to their talent (with the total inverse being true of the others you mentioned I think). The Doors are still good in my book, with even some genius-tier work in there, but also a lot of belchy-rapey lazy circus farts too. Too many? Some would say so, others not

To be precise, I once liked The Doors, i.e., their hits. (Still have a Quadraphonic best-of LP.) But over time Morrison's vocal posturing & Manzarek's glibness (in interviews, I mean) & the post-mortem adoration of the band grew irritating. I decided it wasn't worth my time to spin their records.

Dylan was the 1st Punk - in the sense of deliberately going out to Confront when he went Electric (he's more often considered the Antithesis of Punk for being Wordy & elevating Rock'n'Roll to Art...)
- & the doors were important in extending this. They were a big draw & had Hits in their own time (a brief few years - which is often startling to consider about legendary acts in that time...) They were rather notorious w/ Promoters & Authorities. & Audiences. That changed Iggy Pop's *life*. There *was* Garage (The Monks in Germany) & the Fugs & - most notably probably - the Velvet Underground before that....

Re the "divisive Doors": the original Rolling Stone Record Guide [red ed.] gave most Doors albums very high marks. The revised, New Rolling Stone Record Guide [blue ed.] demoted most albums considerably, a downgrade that really doesn't happen elsewhere in the book (that I've found).
