Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #582 is an hour of visionary acoustic musical improvisation featuring the versatile, multi-talented Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, Native flute, ukulele and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas. Today's show was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-July of 2024 and begins with the sedate, peaceful “Oh Mother Earth, We Love You”, built around Mariam's ukulele and sinuous vocal and a Gershwinesque piano accompaniment from Bob. “Oh, The Moon And The Stars” begins as a bittersweet folk ballad, spacious and mournful, a prayer to nature in each of Mariam's elegant couplets and culminates with a gorgeous, languid conversation between Mariam's vocal and her Native flute. Stepping into a languid blues mode with the shuffling “Oh, The Rain” the band drifts into a Beatlesque groove as Mariam weaves 21st century melodies into the psychedelic brew. “We Are Here Now, Inside Our Body Temple” is an unusual, haunting air with an airy, gossamer vocal from Mariam and “Bless Your Journey” spins an unusual, retro jazz R&B groove from a sparse Native flute and drum intro that culminates in a powerful series of gospel choruses. The band gives Mariam's “Isis” and “Sail To The Realms” a brisk, airy runthrough with a fine vocal and solid rhythm from all as we finish this week's installment with the rich, gorgeous, burnished majesty of “Just Abandon All Longings”.

Revisit the 2022 deep dive that Brian and Murdock took re: the British brothers that reinvigorated Beatlesque power pop on the world stage – and almost killed each other.
Join us on a musical journey as we uncover the radiant story behind the iconic hit "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra, released in 1977. This upbeat track strikes a perfect balance between its sunny lyrics and a classical-leaning arrangement, featuring a harmonious blend of violins, brass, electric instruments, along with some unconventional studio finds like a cowbell and a fire extinguisher.From its Beatlesque intro, it's no surprise that the mastermind behind this masterpiece, Jeff Lynne, has often been dubbed the 'Fifth Beatle', given his close professional and personal ties to the Fab Four. This episode dives deep into the creative process and the inspirations that led to this timeless anthem.Featured in the album "Out of the Blue," the persistent references to 'blue' in Jeff Lynne's discography find their roots in the Birmingham Blues football club, where the native son, Jeff Lynne, has long been a devoted supporter. Discover how this affiliation influenced the creation of this beloved track, which eventually became the club's official anthem.Despite its initial slow rise to mainstream recognition, "Mr. Blue Sky" gained renewed prominence in 2017 as it opened the scene of the cult-favorite movie, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." Moreover, basking in its infectious happiness and zest for life, this timeless classic secured its position as the 'happiest song of all time' in 2020.Tune in to explore the fascinating tale behind this musical marvel, as we unravel the interwoven threads of joy, inspiration, and a deep-rooted love for both music and hometown pride.
This week, we celebrate the beginning of the '90s (Or was it the end of the '80s? You be the judge.) When MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Wilson Phillips ruled the airwaves. When Uncle Gregg found some direction and joined the Navy. When teenage Brett co-founded his first band, Empty Glass. And when our special guest, power pop legend Jamie Hoover was caught in a flurry of activity, releasing his debut solo album Coupons, Questions And Comments and prepping for The Spongetones' 1991 third full length, Oh Yeah! Formed in 1979 and very much influenced by the British Invasion, Charlotte, North Carolina's The Spongetones carried on the musical genre through acclaimed original songwriting, jangle pop riffs, and lilting, Beatlesque vocals. In his 2007 authoritative book Shake Some Action, John M. Borack rated The Spongetones' Beat And Torn (a CD containing 1982's Beat Music LP - one of Brett's all time favorites - and 1984's Torn Apart mini-LP) at #24 of his Top 200 Power Pop Albums of all time. The band features the triple threat of talented singers and songwriters: Jamie Hoover, Pat Walters and Steve Stoeckel. In addition to The Spongetones, Jamie has shared the stage and recorded with Don Dixon and Marti Jones, The Smithereens, Graham Parker, Hootie & The Blowfish, Bill Lloyd, Emitt Rhodes, and Ray Paul, among others. Hoover either produced or co-produced all the Spongetones' albums, and continues to produce a wide variety of other musicians, recently including '60s singer/songwriter Bob Lind ('Elusive Butterfly') and young prodigy Elena Rogers.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dwight TwilleyDwight Twilley and partner Phil Seymour created an enduring and highly memorable brand of power pop that blended Beatlesque pop and Sun rockabilly “slapback” echo. Only a fraction of the band's early output was made available at the time, but these records are highly revered by power pop aficionados.
A two-parter?! Well, Thomas is away on his Italian honeymoon, after all...

Easybeats April continues at LTA HQ. Welcome to episode 165 of Love That Album. On the last episode, I spoke with author Jeff Apter about his book Friday On My Mind: The Life of George Young. His book looks at Young as musician with The Easybeats, and Young as songwriter and producer for Alberts Productions after the band broke up. This time around, I am joined by host of Let It Roll podcast, “Kid” Nathan Wilcox to discuss the actual music of The Easybeats. Of course as in any of these shows, we had digressions to talk about the band's history, art versus commercial reality, and much conjecture as to why the band didn't translate to Beatlesque levels of popularity outside of Australia beyond THAT one hit single. Rather than discuss a specific album of the Easybeats catalogue, Nate and I selected 5 songs each from the excellent Glenn A. Baker double LP compilation from 1980, "Absolute Anthology 1965 to 1969". We discussed the songs in order (mostly) of release to present an arc of the band that went from recording songs in a rock and roll vein, to one that became more experimental with their sounds to one that returned back to their rock and roll roots by the end. In discussing these songs, Nate and I try to make sense of their development. I had an absolute blast recording this episode and I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Let It Roll (also part of the Pantheon family) is dedicated to the discussion of recorded music history via conversations with authors of music related books. At two episodes per week, the number of books Nate reads and researches is staggering. The subject matter is diverse – Bob Marley, the Brill Building, Texas gospel, and the mob's involvement in the music business are just skimming the surface of what's offered in Let It Roll.

Ask any Australian rock fan who is the greatest Australian performer or band over the history of the last 70 odd years and you'll get a multitude of answers (as you would anywhere). It's a subjective question and there are generational factors to be taken into account. However, an Australian Performing Rights Association panel declared “Friday On My Mind” by The Easybeats to be the greatest Australian song ever. That's gotta put The Easybeats somewhere in the pantheon of the greats, right? Welcome to episode 164 of Love That Album. The history of pop music is littered with artists who if lucky enough to achieve popularity and acclaim for their work have a limited shelf life before audiences and critics move onto the next thing. It's extremely rare for a musician or group to get a second wind. Harry Vanda and George Young are in that rare company. First finding Beatlesque levels of popularity in the Southern Hemisphere with The Easybeats, and then becoming songwriters and producers for other successful acts within the Alberts Productions “House of Hits” including George's kid brothers' band..... I welcome back to the podcast biographer, Jeff Apter to discuss his book “Friday On My Mind: The Life of George Young”. It's a terrific read that looks at George's life as an immigrant from Scotland to the outskirts of Sydney and being determined to make it as a rock and roll musician. We discuss The Easybeats success and poor management, his advice to younger brothers Malcolm and Angus, Vanda and Young's second apprenticeship with “fake” bands, the tragedy of Stevie Wright post Easybeats and the empire Vanda and Young built. My huge thanks to Jeff for coming back to the show. You can order his multitude of biographies on Australian musicians from http://jeffapter.com.au. Part 2 of this special is coming in a week or so and will be a discussion with Nathan Wilcox of the Let It Roll Podcast about The Easybeats Absolute Anthology 1965 to 1969.

This week, we take a look back at the incredible albums of 1978. In a year when Uncle Gregg was just playing with his squeezebox and Brett was gettin' down to Sesame Street Fever, our Third Lad Jim Basnight was right in the thick of the Seattle music scene. 1978 was the year Basnight's power pop combo The Moberlys formed, straddling the line between melodic Beatlesque songcraft and tightly wound, hormonally charged garage rock. From those nascent days (which have been compiled on the recent Early Years compilation) to his latest solo album, 2019's aptly titled Not Changing, Jim Basnight has been delighting pop music fans for well over 40 years. In this insightful, fun-filled episode, we talk about early musical influences, opening for Ramones, The Police and Greg Kihn, the New York punk scene, Seattle grunge, drunken nights, hard rock, bubblegum and blues roots, and a whole lot more. Plus, we play both sides of the latest single off of Early Years, "Live In The Sun" and "Bebe I'm Gonna Leave You." It's the show that caused Jim to exclaim, "I didn't realize what kind of complete nerds you guys are!" It's just what you needed! #musicpodcast #musicpodcasts #podnation #1stwave #classicalternative #70smusic #1978music #1978albums #punkrock #newwave #powerpop #classicrock
Label: Hall 1924Year: 1964Condition: M-Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.This amazing single is a Beatlesque foray into the style that would become known as Power Pop. What distinguishes it in particular from the Buddy Holly-influenced vocals it shares with songs like "Sheila" by Tommy Roe is that spectacular electric guitar bridge — one of the hallmarks of great Power Pop. Note: This is the best copy I've had in the store since opening in 2001, with labels that have no notable ringwear. The vinyl looks very close to Mint, and the powerful audio is pristine Mint!
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #513 is an hour of visionary acoustic musical improvisation featuring the versatile, multi-talented Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, Native flute, ukulele and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas. Today's show was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early December of 2022 and begins with a tight, jazzy version of Mariam's classic “Reflect The Light” built around Mariam's ukulele and sinuous vocal and a Gershwinesque piano accompaniment from Bob. “Passages Of Time” begins as a bittersweet folk ballad, spacious and mournful, a prayer to nature in each of Mariam's elegant couplets and culminates with a gorgeous, languid conversation between Mariam's vocal and her Native flute. Stepping into a languid blues mode with the shuffling “Oh The Silvery Rays” the band drifts into a Beatlesque groove as Mariam weaves 21st century melodies into the psychedelic brew. “Ancient Formations” is an unusual, haunting air with an airy, gossamer vocal from Mariam and “Welcome In Peace” spins an unusual, retro jazz R&B groove from a sparse Native flute and drum intro that culminates in a powerful series of gospel choruses. The band gives Mariam's “Circle Of Light” a brisk, airy runthrough with a fine vocal and solid rhythm from all as we finish this week's installment. Learn more about Mariam here: http://www.mariammassaro.com
Yoo-hoo-hoo! Tom Hemmings reunites with Christian to cover The Jungle Book - the last film Walt Disney helped bring to fruition, and home to Beatlesque barbershop quartets, potentially problematic primates, and the greatest villain with Khan in his name (search your feelings; you know it to be true). Plus, The Transatlantic Two weigh in on Walt's life, legacy, and less-than-laudable actions, and Tom teases a new segment for Earth-2.net: The Show!
The Nylon Curtain wasn't nearly as popular as Billy Joel's albums just before and after this release. But, it still spawned a handful of hits, classics, and perennial fan favorites and concert staples. And today, it's regarded by fans and critics as Billy's most accomplished artistic statement. Released in 1982, The Nylon Curtain came just after the string of smash hit albums from The Stranger in 1977 through Glass Houses in 1980, and the live Songs In the Attic that rewrote his early work. And, it was released less than a year before An Innocent Man would race up the charts and capture a new generation of fans. In contrast to the harder-edged rock of Glass Houses and the bouncy fun of An Innocent Man, The Nylon Curtain is a thoughtful, occasionally dark, and sonically adventurous affair. It's often lauded as his most Beatlesque album. And, it's certainly one of Billy's most thoughtful releases as he tackles war, aging, and social dilemmas throughout its nine songs. Join us as we take a long look behind The Nylon Curtain. ------ Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor
Label: Immediate 501Year: 1967Condition: MLast Price: $28.00. Not currently available for sale.This 1967 hit is a classic of the pop/psych genre, and succeeds in being closely Beatlesque. It was the first U.K. record to feature the new "flanging" effect. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Immediate Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
In this new series, "The Album Years with Andy", I will be sharing my top 10 favorite albums release in each year! We will start with 1965, and continue our way up until we have reached 2021 (then this will just be an annual thing of course)! Today, we will talk about my top 10 favorite albums that were released in 1966. Here is a timeline of what was going on in music back in 1966 from Rock Music Timeline: https://www.rockmusictimeline.com/1966 "John Lennon is quoted in a London newspaper saying the Beatles are more popular than Jesus, resulting in Beatles record burning events across the southern US. Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass have four albums simultaneously in the US Top Ten. The Beatles perform their last official concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. NBC has a hit TV show with The Monkees, featuring the comedic exploits of a "Beatlesque" pop group. In April, for the first time since January 1964, the US Top Ten does not have a UK band in it. So called "garage" bands make a big impact in the US." This series will live on, via my Rate Your Music Page! You can see more of my favorite albums that were released in 1966 over there: https://rateyourmusic.com/~andymuzak Also, feel free to check out my Spotify playlist called “10 for 1966.” This is a playlist of my favorite tracks off of each of my favorite albums of this year: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1u0...

Label: Silver Spotlight 34Year: 1964Condition: M-Last Price: $8.00. Not currently available for sale.Originally released on Liberty 55645. This is a beautiful copy of the Capitol Silver Spotlight reissue, in its factory sleeve. Besides being one of the iconic singles of the girl group era (even though it flopped here in the U.S.), this amazing recording is important because it's one of the earliest overt expressions of female sexuality on vinyl. When Jackie sings, I can feel a new expression on my faceI can feel a loin sensation taking place she isn't suggesting that she has to hit the bathroom. It's really quite remarkable, and may explain why U.S. radio declined to play it. British radio also stayed away, though they were thrilled when the Searchers covered it later in 1964, taking it to #3. The U.S. release made the top 40 at #35. Two other notable features of this recording are the Beatlesque guitar lead (who is that, anyway?), and the Phil Spector Wall-of-Sound production. This is truly one of those gems that were overlooked in their day but whose genius was acknowledged for posterity to enjoy. Note: This scan is a representative image from our archives.

One of my fave places for original rock music is in North Carolina, and today I'm in the studio with Jamie Hoover of The Spongetones! Jamie talks about the band's musical start in Charlotte (complete with the jangle pop riffs and their Beatlesque vocal style); to his current work in Nashville with Bill Lloyd (of Foster and Lloyd) and the rest of The Long Players. We also discuss nearly every reason why he loves the band XTC; The Spongetones getting that initial press from Rolling Stone magazine for albums Beat Music and Torn Apart; those days of touring with The Kinks and later with The Smithereens and Hootie & the Blowfish; and who really named his studio 'Hooverama'. It's a rock and roll cover story you don't want to miss!

Been waiting a looong time to talk 2016's "The Party" by Andy Shauf... One of the greats from the last decade. The novelistic songwriting, the clarinet, the Beatlesque melodies - it's got it all, delivered by a shy quiet guy from Saskatchewan with a very unusual accent. Fellow diehard fan Eric Davis delights in getting into all the nitty-gritty with me... https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/__eric.davis__/
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #446 is an hour of improvised visionary acoustic music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, ukulele, Native flute and shruti box, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drums. Recorded at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today's episode begins with the sprightly, upbeat “If You Believe So”, an uplifting folk songs driven by Mariam's chiming ukulele. “Oh The River Is Calling” is a compelling psychedelic groove with an Indian flavor and “What A Way” is a bluesy song driven by a steady piano figure and driving congas from Craig. “Every Time” is a sweet, Beatlesque ballad with a gorgeous vocal and lyrical Native flute from Mariam, a rich song with several directions and permutations. “Ryalia” is a mystical folk song from Mariam's “Release” album, here given a powerful, tight rendition. Also from the “Release album”, “Distant Star” is presented with a sparse, gorgeous steady groove underpinned by Mariam's steady ukulele. “This Is The Way” blooms from the ending tendrils of “Distant Star” and “Beyond The Realm” is a gorgeous, sprawling raga epic built around the drone of Mariam's shruti box and featuring a beautiful melody from Mariam.

Label: Immediate 501Year: 1967Condition: M-Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.This 1967 hit is a classic of the pop/psych genre, and succeeds in being closely Beatlesque. It was the first U.K. record to feature the new "flanging" effect. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Immediate Records factory sleeve (sleeve has one corner missing... see scan). The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio grades Near Mint with just a touch of surface noise.
We kicked off the month of February being joined by singer-songwriter Aaron Lee Tasjan. Tasjan is releasing his excellent new album Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan! this coming Friday (February 5). The East Nashville songwriter continues to explore the cosmic folk and space rock realms on the self-titled collection with songs like the infectious glam-pop anthem "Up All Night," the Elliott Smith channeling "Another Lonely Day," the swaggering shimmer of "Don't Overthink It," and the Beatlesque closer "Got What I Wanted." During this conversation, we talk about the writing of Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!, the creative process, the constant evolution of music and art, living in East Nashville, and missing the good, the bad, (and sometimes the ugly) of live music.

It was forty years ago today (more or less), so a good moment to commemorate Lennon's final single. Woman was chosen by Lennon to be the second single released from the Double Fantasy album. The lyrics are not among Lennon's best, but it is nicely Beatlesque that the last words are "I love you, yeah, yeah"..... The lyrics seem to be inspired by McCartney's song 'Woman', which was made a hit by Peter and Gordon. In particular, each sentence beginning with the word 'Woman' comes straight out of McCartney's lyrics. 'Woman' is a catchy tune, but musically, it is not one his most original compositions. It 'borrows' its chord progression from McCartney's 'Here, There and Everywhere'. And it contains the "truck driver's modulation": shifting up a half-step in key half way through gives the song a badly needed push. The truck driver's modulation has been a pop music cliché since the 1950s......... We are therefore very pleased with the excellent cover version, sung by Dutch singer/songwriter Yorick van Norden, performed 'live' on Dutch radio: https://www.nporadio1.nl/cultuur-media/28188-moord-op-john-lennon-veertig-jaar-geleden-nog-steeds-een-van-de-grootste-misdaden-van-de-mensheid The BDJ engineers set to work to convert his simple rendition into a real cover song.

The Story Pirates finally reach their space destination and meet a queen (Karan Kendrick). Featuring two new stories: “The Strawberry Band,” a song about a Beatlesque rock band and their encounter with a shark, written by Nathaniel, a 5 year old from California, and “The Angel Pigs,” a story about entrepreneurial flying porkers, written by an 8 year old from Massachusetts named Olive.
There have been fakers and imitators, tributes and rip-offs, but no one sounds like The Beatles on record—including the ex-Beatles. Nevertheless, some efforts have come closer than others, the most successful being those that have managed to capture the group’s essence rather than just replicate its sound while matching the standard of song material. In this episode, we dive into the good, the bad and the ugly—including those recordings which, bearing zero resemblance to the Fab Four, were promoted by bootleggers during the 1970s to fill the vacuum created by all of those unfounded Beatles-reunion rumours. The Music ‘Cheese and Onions’ - The Rutles ‘Can’t Get it Out of My Head’ – ELO ‘Because’ – Julian Lennon ‘Have You Heard the Word?’ – The Fut ‘Return to Pepperland’ – Paul McCartney ‘When We Was Fab’ – George Harrison ‘Lies’ – The Knickerbockers ‘The Girl I Love’ – The Five Shits ‘Pay Attention to Me’ – The Tikis ‘Talkin’ About the Good Times’ – Pretty Things ‘The L.S. Bumble Bee’ – Peter Cook and Dudley Moore ‘Black is Black’ – Lord Sitar ‘Carousel of Love’ – Peter Best ‘So Much in Love’ - McGough & McGear ‘We Are The Moles’ – The Moles ‘Peace of Mind’ – unknown ‘Frenzy and Distortion’ – Ravi Shankar ‘Pink Litmus Paper Shirt’ – unknown ‘No Matter What’ – Badfinger ‘Come and Get It’ – Badfinger ‘Sun in Her Hand’ – Blond ‘Coz I Luv You’ – Slade ‘Just a Smile’ – Pilot ‘Neanderthal Man’ – Hotlegs ‘I Must Be in Love’ – The Rutles ‘Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft’ – Klaatu ‘She Still Loves Him’ – Jellyfish ‘Sittin’ Here in Silence (On My Own)’ – Oasis ‘Costafine Town’ – Splinter

From their roots as an eclectic harmony band in Australia and their first wave of Beatlesque fame, through their domination of the disco revolution and their years as an punchline, the Bee Gees stayed alive because of the Gibb brothers’ harmonies and especially their impeccable songs.

Though the Dwight Twilley Band only had one hit (Twilley had another on his own), Twilley and partner Phil Seymour created an enduring and highly memorable brand of power pop that blended Beatlesque pop and Sun rockabilly “slapback” echo. Only a fraction of the band's early output was made available at the time, but these records are highly revered by power pop aficionados. According to the legend, Dwight Twilley met Phil Seymour in 1967 at a theater where they had gone to see the Beatles' “A Hard Day's Night.” After the film they immediately went to Twilley's house to start writing and recording. The two continued the partnership over the next several years, calling themselves Oister and recruiting another part-time member, Bill Pitcock IV, on lead guitar. After developing their sound in their homemade studio, “the Shop,” they decided to take a stab at professional recording and headed out to Nashville, though they ended up stopping first at the legendary Sun Studios. Jerry Phillips (Sam's son) was impressed enough to team them up with former Sun artist Ray Harris, who introduced them to “the Sun sound,” roughing up their Beatles-obsessed style a bit and creating a unique and endearing sound. The two signed to Shelter Records in 1974. Their first single, “I'm on Fire,” became a national hit in 1975, peaking at number 16, with relatively no promotion. During an appearance on American Bandstand, the band previewed what was to be the follow-up single, “Shark,” an equally infectious, hit-worthy rocker. The success of the film “Jaws” caused the label to reject the single, however, to keep them from becoming perceived as a cash-in novelty act. This was just the beginning of bad luck that would plague the group from that point on. Their follow-up single and completed album went unreleased for 18 months due to label problems, and a second album recorded in England was left unreleased altogether, creating a myth around the band in some circles while the general public quickly lost interest. The belated follow-up single, “You Were So Warm,” ended up failing due to distribution problems. Predictably, when the album “Sincerely” was finally released, it failed as well. Seymour and Twilley befriended the like-minded Tom Petty and contributed backing vocals on several tracks. Petty repaid the favor for their second album, “Twilley Don't Mind,” for Arista in 1977. Despite the once again unquestionably high quality of songs, the album stiffed as well. Seymour left the band the following year, pursuing a brief solo career before lymphoma cut his life short in 1993. Twilley carried on as a solo act, releasing “Twilley” for Arista in 1979 and “Scuba Divers” for EMI America in 1982, and found success again with “Jungle” in 1984, when he scored his second hit with “Girls.” His album “Wild Dogs” went unnoticed on its 1986 release by CBS Associated Records. In addition, Twilley recorded an album in 1980, “Blueprint,” that remains unreleased and contributed one track to the 1992 “Wayne's World” soundtrack, “Why You Want to Break My Heart.” In 1993, DCC released “The Great Lost Twilley Album,” which collected a fraction of the “hundreds” of unreleased songs Twilley and Seymour recorded in the early, ill-fated days. Two newly recorded songs appeared on the best-of collection “XXI” in 1996, and in 1999, Twilley released both another rarities collection, “Between the Cracks, Vol. 1” (Not Lame Archives), and his first new album in 13 years, “Tulsa” (Copper). In 2001, Twilley released “The Luck” (Big Oak), an album he had actually completed in 1994. The seasonal EP “Have a Twilley Christmas” (DMI) appeared in 2004, followed by Twilley's ninth studio album, “47 Moons,” in 2005. In 2007 he signed to Gigatone Records and a deluge of Twilley releases followed, including reissues of “Tulsa” and “47 Moons” (with bonus tracks), seven volumes of “Rarities” discs, and a compilation of tracks recorded after Twilley left CBS, Northridge to Tulsa.

The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970, by songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood with drummer Bev Bevan. Their music is characterised by a fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements, and futuristic iconography.[5] After Wood's departure in 1972, Lynne became the band's leader, arranging and producing every album while writing virtually all of their original material. The band was formed to accommodate Lynne's and Wood's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones, deriving as an offshoot of Wood's previous band the Move, of which Lynne and Bevan were also members. ELO were most active during the 1970s and 1980s, recording a string of studio albums that include the conceptual works Eldorado (1974) and Time (1981). For their initial tenure, Lynne, Bevan, and keyboard player Richard Tandy were the group's only consistent members. #ELO #SlackerMorningShow101theFox #BevBevan

Join us this week for Part 2 of our interview with the Indie Rock band, The PondHawks. Hailing from Chicago, IL., the band's catchy melodies are exhilaratingly fresh and Beatlesque. The songs are delightfully infectious with playful lyricism that is exuberant and gutsy. The band's arsenal of music takes the listener on an eclectic journey into Indie Rock spirited by Classic Rock influences that transcend the boundaries of contemporary music. You could say The PondHawks have created a new music genre. The band has a unique retro rock 'now' sound with signature vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beatles, ELO and Wings.

For whatever reason, singer songwriters who write obsessively hook-laden, occasionally Beatlesque pop-rock tracks tend to be overlooked (or outright dismissed) by certain tastemakers. Such seems to have been the case with Brendan Benson, who you may know as the other chief songwriter from The Raconteurs, but who also arguably perfected undeniably catchy ditties of his own craft. Which brings us to Lapalco, a well received if under publicized effort that helped hone some summer rock for the ages. Tune in as we reveal Lapalco, and as always, send questions, musings or crazy ideas to messagesomebodyATgmail.com. Cheers!
This week, Ken, Steve, Allan and Al discuss Beatlesesque music and groups through the years like Badfinger. (By agreement, we didn't mention Badfinger because their inclusion was so obvious. But we mention a lot of others.) Got any you want to add? Email us at thingswesaidtodayradioshow@gmail.com. We'd love to hear yours.

Native New Yorker, Glenn Kidd has just released his new Summer 2013 album; "Breathe, Love, Life". This multi-talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist's extraordinary embodiment of music is interwoven with the magical influences of the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. Glenn's inspirational music transcends genre and style, giving “Spiritual Rock” a 21st Century meaning. It's often said that to find the truth one must go within and listen with the heart. Glenn's music invites everyone to take that "journey of the soul". With catchy hooks, melodies and thought provoking lyrics, his music reflects awareness and consciousness from one song to the next sparking one emotion after another."Breathe, Love, Life" features; Producer Larry Russell (Billy Joel), Kenny Aaronson (Billy Idol & Joan Jett), Steve Lukather (Toto), Tommy Mandel (Bryan Adams), Brian Dunne (Hall & Oates), Gregg Gerson (Mick Jagger), Steve Holley (Wings), Alan St Jon (Billy Squier), Arno Hecht (The Uptown Horns), John Merjave (Glen Burtnik), Benny Landa (Benny Landa), Joe Pecorino (Beatlemania), and notable background vocalists, Marge Raymond, Cheryl Krebs, Jenna Ferone, Aja St Jon, and George Stass. The first two singles, "Safe To Smile" and “Shangri-La” are being heard and seen daily on Internet radio, Reverbnation, and YouTube gaining a worldwide fan base. “Safe To Smile” with its memorable Beatlesque guitar intro is about honoring your Divine self, and not buying into other people's belief systems that are not your own. And, “Shangri-La” with its 1950's influenced slow shuffle is about facing the unknown yet knowing that everyone and everything has a purpose.In the spring of 2013, Glenn recorded a new song "God In Drag" with producer, Larry Russell, George Stass, and John McCurry (Julian Lennon) as a new single digital release and music video.
New Uptempo Worship song, based on Exodus 19:4, we produced entitled "I'll Fly Like an Eagle",a very '60's sounding British Invasion Piano, nice syncopated and groovin' Pop Bass, couple 60's Rickenbacher Guitars (The Byrds used, as well as The Beatles), Acoustic Guitars, syncopated Crunch Guitar, tasteful Bonnie Raitt style Slide Guitar, Drums; a Country-Rock beat that gives a Train Beat feel, a spicy Bossa Flute, some nice syncopated Handclaps, ending with Tambourine and R&B Horns. The use of the Minor 4 chord( C-Cm) in the chorus gives it a bit of a Beatlesque feel.

Barry Scott, a member of the 80's band The States, formed a new band and recorded a great Beatlesque cd called "Who Else". I'd like to provide a link to Barry, but it appears his website is no more.

The Songs Featured Are: 01- Because She's A Woman 02- Love Is One Of Those Words 03- My Marie 04- Scarecrow no link available
