Today I might be mad Tomorrow I'll be glad 'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind The Easybeats, "Friday on my Mind," 1966. One reason to look forward to Friday is that's the day Kim Strassel's Potomac Watch column comes out in the Wall Street Journal. Her last magnum opus, which appears under the headline "Cap and Trade is Dead," is the best obituary I've read since Idi Amin descended...
From 1967, please enjoy gospel dudes turned psychedelic blues-rockers The Chambers Brothers and their minor (but memorable) hit single "I Can't Stand It." And from 1968, here's greatest Australian band of all time The Easybeats with their thoughts on the matter. Actually, "I Can't Stand It" was something of a late 60s standard, and there were probably a bunch of other recorded versions,...
The Wallabies want to not just remind the All Blacks of their existence during Saturday night's Bledisloe Cup Test, but also the Home Nations that they are not the easybeats of the southern hemisphere.
After a tough choice on what show to see last night, tonight it’s quite easy to decide what to do if you are out and about looking for live music in Cincinnati. Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog will be in town, hitting up Covington, Kentucky and the Mad Hatter for a show tonight. We are big fans [...]

The Easybeats sing about something that gets many employees through the week. Listen to this song any day of the week, especially on Monday. You’ll make it.
This music does bring back some good memories - an hour well spent "I'm Alive" Performed by The Hollies "Yesterday Man" Performed by Chris Andrews "I've Been a Bad Bad Boy" Performed by Paul Jones One of my favourites "Silence Is Golden" Performed by The Tremeloes "The End of the World" Performed by Skeeter Davis "Friday On My Mind" Performed...
Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb with this one, but here's a song that I consider to be not only the last rave-up of the 60s but one of the most exciting. From late 1969, please enjoy what is, in any case, one of the most outrageous productions ever staged by a rock-and-roll band. It's the incomparable Easybeats -- well, mostly genius auteurs Harry Vanda and George Young working under the Easybeats...
So on Friday, over at his fabulous Burning Wood blog, our good friend Sal Nunziato posted a link where you can download the original records redone by David Bowie on his album of 60s covers Pin Ups . The records in question? All fabulous, but if you don't recall them off the top of your head they are: Rosalyn- The Pretty Things Here Comes The Night - Them I Wish You Would- The Yardbirds See Emily Play-...
Okay, this is a really long story, so please indulge me. First, the set-up. One of the greatest (and most obscure) lost singles of the 70s -- indeed, in rock history -- is a little number called "Natural Man" by The Marcus Hook Roll Band . The MHRB were actually Harry Vanda and George Young of The Easybeats , then toiling under various aliases in the period before they roared back as the...
