It can't be a good thing that I've spent the majority of my evening on Tumblr. Something's got to give. It also can't be a good thing that I might just prefer The Hollies' version of Bob Dylan's 'My Back Pages' - SACRILEDGE! Did I even spell that right? Tell me I spelt that right. THERE'S NO NODDY. My mind is on overload - it's a bit sad that I'm getting almost every quote I come across on the memes...
Forty-five years ago, on February 8, 1965, Motown Records released The Supremes‘ “Stop! In the Name of Love.” Recorded over the course of three sessions the previous January, the song wasn’t the first of the great anthems the songwriting and production team of Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Brian Holland would concoct, but it was arguably the greatest of their early productions....
Graham Nash of the 60s groups The Hollies and later Crosby, Stills & Nash also is a well-known photographer, and Saturday is the opening of an EMP exhibit of iconic rock photos that he helped choose.
Two examples: (1) Herman's Hermits had more chart-toppers than The Hollies. (I think that's the stat; it's something along those lines.) (2) Andy Dick charges more for appearances than Louie CK . (Although Louis CK --same guy, different head shot--asks you to contact his agent. Weird. Is that because corporate suits would naturally look up "Louis" whereas the club owners remember him from...
Today, February 2, is singer, composer, photographer, and technophile Graham Nash's 68th birthday, on which occasion we send warm regards and congratulations, and which we mark with a fine performance of his song "Military Madness." Come inside for a view of his old band's first U.S. top 40 hit as The Hollies perform "Look Through Any Window."
Today’s music video is ‘Tiny Dancer’ from Elton John. This video was posted to You Tube by AndersonCouncel2 It’s hard to believe Elton has been making music for more than 45 years now, and even though he may have slowed down with age, there is just so much of his good music out there. With so many of [...]

Got this bad boy in the post. Hoping to organise a review soon... "My name is David Spaltro and I'm an independent filmmaker and producer in NYC. Last year I completed my first feature film "... Around ", starring Rob Evans and Molly Ryman, a labor of love about a young man with a dual life "living" out of Penn and Grand Central Station while going to film school, based on...
Think of the 60s and specifically, music of the 60s and what do you think of? I'm guessing The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, The Who, classic soul, maybe ska and possibly a splash of psychedelia. You probably don't think...
Hello friends! The other day I called my friend (and fellow FOG! writer) Jay Williams to tell him that a big percentage of Rolling Stone readers thought that KISS should have been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this time around. But alas, they were dissed again, for the 10th time (even though this is the first nomination, they’ve been eligible for 10 years). The people who did make...
I must be out of touch. For the last 6 months I have been working on a remake of The Hollies' "Pay You Back With Interest" thinking it would be a fantastic and cutting edge critique of Paulson and Geithner. The video was going to feature girls with dresses showing their ankles, people driving around without seatbelts, and even a guy smoking a cigarette in a restaurant. I thought it would...
MP3: Noble Lake – Morgantown from Heyday (2008) As the saying says, when one door closes, another one opens. In 2009, Baltimore folk outfit Noble Lake saw the departure of Andy Stack and Jenn Wasner, whose own band Wye Oak reached new levels of success that swallowed most of their free time. James Sarsgaard, the band’s [...] Related posts: Preview: Farm Fest 2009 feat. The Black Hollies,...
There is a shocking lack of songs dedicated to the romance and mystery that is public transit. I’ve been through the discographies of several bands — Ted Nugent, Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC most recently — and I can find no references to the glories of riding the No. 6 Riverfront Express. In fact the only bus-related songs I can think of are: “ Magic Bus ,” by The Who...
