Miss Chisolm is the teacher of the year, so sayeth the plastic-letters on the marquee of an elementary school I pass each morning on the way to work. I don't recall any of the schools which I attended awarding such an honor. The students, of course, had teachers who were deemed as favorites. Mrs. Winston in seventh grade was popular as she was young, good-natured, and the closest any of us had ever gotten to a woman who could have been one of Charlie's angels. Z was held [...]

End of the Line: Road Songs Part Three If [...]
We review William Shatner's Space-themed Covers Album 'Seeking Major Tom'

Winter Harvest has 14 tracks from one of Holland's most popular classic rock groups, The Golden Earrings. These songs were cut in 1966/1967, during the group's forgotten early phase. While all 60s Golden Earrings albums are pretty strong, Winter Harvest is probably the most consistent of the bunch. While Just Earrings (1965) was a very enjoyable beat album, this disc sees the group branching out into soul, folk-rock and hard rock/freakbeat - think Happy Jack, Rubber Soul, Face to Face or From the Beginning (The Small Faces). The band delivers Winter Harvest with a special confidence and maturity. [...]

I have always love road trips and from a very young age loved sitting in the back of the old station wagon in that flip up rear seat, facing traffic and digging whatever 8 tracks my dad would put in. I have a lot of good memories involving driving around Texas aimlessly with my best friend, trying to get lost but never managing it or driving three hours to just to prove to someone that some hole in the wall had the best BBQ. The spontaneous road trip was a staple of my life for a lot of years. It's [...]

On of my favorite albums when I was a kid was Golden Earring's 1973 LP Moontan. It only had five songs on it, but one of them was the legendary "Radar Love." A 13 year old kid in the United States, New Jersey no less, is clueless about where a particular band might hang its hat. Now that the adult John knows where Amsterdam is, The Netherlands has some appeal. Back then I didn't know anything about being Dutch other than they seemed to have funny shoes and there seemed to be a lot of windmills in their pictures. I [...]
Totally awesome awesome record, great bass, riff, vocal and drums! Golden Earring are a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague as the Golden Earrings (the 's' was dropped in 1969)....

I'm in the middle of correcting my re-loaded posts and came across this one just a few minutes ago. Now the original post included an MP3 of the band 's song Heroin Unlimited ; it's no longer available, so I deleted the link. And what happened next? My Mediamonkey, which is running on shuffle today, must have sensed my action and started to play... right, Heroin Unlimited ! Sometimes I really think there's a ghost in the system!!! [...]
Because we ran a Night & Day blurb focusing on tonight's event, and Ink, I am told, ran a blurb focusing on tomorrow's party, I figured it'd be a good idea to set up a one-stop shop for all your Cowto... Continue reading "Sweet Jesus! Cowtown Ballroom documentary events tonight and tomorrow" >
As could only be expected of the Jukebox, there's a heavy smattering of garage tracks this week but just for balance or maybe good measure it finishes out with a bit of a breezy gem from the West Coast. What's not to like about that? [MP3] The Golden Earrings - Now I Have The Dutch band that later became famous for "Radar Love" (as Golden Earring) is a bit lighter here but no less affecting. A sinister garage number with some impressive action on the guitar. That the band evolved [...]

Golden Earring: Candy's Going Bad From the classic Moontan , an album which -- perhaps unreasonably? -- was awarded 5 out of 5 stars by all thirty amazon.com reviewers. Are you satisfied?

One might think that I spent a ridiculous amount of time in front of my monitor this weekend, but I honestly didn't. I had a pretty productive weekend. I got the majority of my place packed and ready for my move. I took care of all the mail forwarding, UHaul renting, and other bullshit I could at the moment. It felt good to get that stuff out of the way. I've always wanted to put together a mix of the metal covers that are floating around in my head from time to time. There are a million others, [...]
"Someone told me/It's all happening at the zoo/ I do believe it/I do believe it's true." Rather than barbecuing or parading, I spent my Memorial Day weekend on a quest to find the king of the ice. Yesterday my crew and I got on a train and headed due north -- to the heart of the Bronx. Simon & Garfunkel - At The Zoo We started [...]
