Cecile:
hey, Fabio! How about "The Touch, The Feel of Failure, the Fabric of Our Lives?" | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:24pm
BSI:
.....which brings to mind the first draft of that General Foods International Coffees jingle, something to the effect of "Celebrate the failure of our lives..." | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:25pm
BSI:
heck, we're all failures on the bus. | |

Everything you've always wanted in failure. And less. | |

Oh I'm a failure, He's a failure, She's a failure, We're a failure. Wouldn't you like to be a failure too? | |

failure ze the only option | |

Think outside the failure. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:52pm
BSI:
don't NEVER.....but never......... make fun of no...... cripples..... | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:54pm
Brass Knuckles:
I never thought I'd like the Monkees until I saw HEAD. Movie is out of control. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:55pm
nic:
Anne-James Chaton is pretty awesome_everything i've heard anyway | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:55pm
Scarecrow:
Oh, I'm a failure, because I haven't got a brain | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:56pm
Carmichael:
The Monkees were pretty good, when you let them do their own stuff. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 3:59pm
Mike East:
I couldn't get into HEAD. I gave it a few tries, too. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:01pm
BSI:
@Mike: for me, it's all about that CRIPPLES scene. I could watch it on a loop for months. But then, I'm funny that way. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:02pm
Carmichael:
HEAD is definitely dated, like Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. But it was way cool for its time. Very quirky and inventive. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:03pm
Cecile:
Carm, and Boyce and Hart did right some good stuff for them as well. It is bittersweet looking at the liner notes for Headquarters, so defensive. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:06pm
Mike East:
@BSI - perhaps I will give it another go one of these days. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:08pm
BSI:
.....well, it's the "don't never make fun o'no cripples" thing, but also the great pleasure of seeing Micky Dolenz drown to death.....TWICE!!!!!!! Next to that, the rest of the film is filler! | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:08pm
yair yona (tel aviv, Israel,Earth):
I don't know. I still love Head, and I don't see it as dated. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:10pm
Carmichael:
@Cecile: agreed, Tommy Boyce had some great songs for the Monkees and as a solo artist. I was trying to differentiate between the early "pop" Monkees and the later, hipper, more drug culture-influenced Monkees. And I say that as a huge fan of anything that came out of the Brill building. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:10pm
Cecile:
I haven't seen it all the way through. It's always been aired/dragged out late at night, and I'm out in thirty seconds. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:11pm
still b/p:
Memorees...probably shared here before: Dad took me and two sisters to see 'em as birthday present. Seats on the floor, Boston Garden, summer, 1967. Kids standing on chairs most of the concert. Girl in front of us went down the aisle to rush the stage, returned with bloody lip. Mickey did whole James Brown cape/collapse/false exit thing -- reference I didn't get at the time. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:12pm
Cecile:
Exactly, Carm. I think if they could have lost some of their bitterness toward the industry and each other, they could be fine elder statesmen today. Fab, flash stream is being flaky for me. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:12pm
Mike East:
@BSI - in that case, maybe I'll just look for the clip on youtube! | |

Brass Knuckles:
I used to have an axe toy from Japan that made that exact same screaming noise when you hit it against something. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:41pm
BSI:
I must have that axe toy. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:50pm
Toy Screaming Horror Axe:
Is this the axe? http://tinyurl.com/cmwbml8 | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:54pm

Yes. Looks like it. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 4:55pm

Happy birthday Mr. Morricone! | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:11pm
Brass Knuckles:
You ever see the cologne commercials Bronson did in Japan? Epic shit, like 3 minute long ads. | |

I recognize this keyboard sound as the same one used by Richard Sinclair in Caravan. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:29pm

King Kong is the Jean-Luc Ponty composition Lennon ripped off, right? | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:29pm
Stanley:
Uncle Meat, sounding fresh as ever! | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:30pm
david:
I think I confuse Uncle Meat with Burnt Weenie Sandwich. Now how is that possible. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:34pm
Fiendish McTavish:
Enjoyed hearing that Joseph Hammer cut. The current sounds are positively luminous to boot! | |

dale:
it seems like every decade is a rehash of twenty years before. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:55pm
Matt from Springfield:
@dale: Indeed, nothing is less cool than something 10 years old or slightly older; then it starts to become novel, "rediscovered", and 16-20 year old stuff is "retro" cool. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:56pm
Zappa:
I got the Coop a deal. | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:56pm

Favorite quote from Clay's show last week... "So do you believe in God or are you an atheist, like Fabio?" | |
Thu. 11/10/11 5:59pm

Oona:
I was just listening to your show of a couple of weeks ago where you mentioned Charlotte Rampling. Did you ever see the movie with her, made in the 60s, where she plays a French woman fooling around on her husband WITH A MONKEY? “Max mon Amour” is the title. The really unusual thing about it to me is that they treat it seriously. I was expecting a surreal, wacky comedy. Truly bizarre. It didn’t SEEM comedic to me. I couldn't take it! | |
