Great start Mike. Zacharia! : )
Was listening to the Fringe Factory premium this week and noticed a song called Optical Sound; your inspiration?

I tell you, Mike, when it comes to garage rock, power pop, and hard driving psychedelia, no jock on FMU has better ears than you.

Where's your regular slot?

I like to say - Mike Sin can drop a Volume of Nuggets on demand.
...Where's his 24/7 stream ?

I only heard this "House of Bamboo" nuthouse for the first time about a year ago. I was like, "OMG this is probably the greatest song ever recorded!" Thanks for sharing it with an unsuspecting world.

Agreed, Mark. That song is very, very special indeed.

Hello Mike. My favourite Roulettes track used to be 'Long Cigarette'. Sill is, I guess.

A Pet Clark song?! Love it!

A lot of us first heard The Roulettes via the "Long Cigarette
inclusion on the My Generation comp. Great job as always Mike!

Brian in UK:

@Todd I remember it when it was released. I think they were Adam Faith's backup band. Ever heard his song 'Green Finger'? A belter.

Folks! Thanks for joining in and commenting! Wish I could but I just don't have the skillz to multi-task!

@Brian in UK: "I Don't Need That Kind of Lovin'" is the winner for me in the Adam Faith/Roulettes pairing.

David Shortell:

I'm perusing the playlist and noticed "Zachariah". I first heard of the movie just last Sunday on David Ossman's birthday. The Firesign Theatre wrote it, based on Hesse's "Siddhartha". I saved it on my youtube "Watch Later" list:

It looks like Andy Williams' "House of Bamboo" came out after the Samuel Fuller film of the same name. Probably no connection, right?

Jogging to Optical Sound like all true rockers do.

tadpoles:

Agree Mike, that Colin Blunstone version was, to put it in a phrase from the time, terrific!

And how come that Pink Floyd EP is available only in such limited numbers to make it $300 on eBay? To put it in a phrase from the time - pathetic!

Wow, had no idea Sly was inspired by the Beatles (& were smart enough to "borrow" without copying the actual melody)...cool song though. I need to listen to more of them.
