Forgotten series: Lovin’ Spoonful’s Zalman Yanovsky – Alive and Well in Argentina (1968)

Lead guitarist Zal Yanovsky’s lone solo, after his unceremonious and quite unfair firing from the Lovin’ Spoonful in 1967, announces his new sense of freedom with an opening Jerry Yester co-written up-tempo rocker called "Raven in a Cage." Ironically, the whole album was co-produced by Zal’s replacement in the Spoonful, Jerry Yester, along with Zally himself. Zally’s zaniness comes through [...]

Congratulations – Mr STAP and Gerard!

Spinal Tap - 11
I challenged my readers with a couple of questions yesterday and, as always, the faithful came through for me!  Mr STAP stepped up and nailed the answer to the question about the origins of the name 10cc.  His answer is summarized below: There was a study that determined that the average output from a male ejaculation was 9 cc, so they called themselves 10 cc. Don’t remember the details about Lovin Spoonful, but the connection is obvious Yes indeed....the members of 10cc wanted the world to know that they were real men! [...]

Thursday Interviews #2 – The Lovin Spoonful (Bonus Edition)

Thursday Interviews #2 – The Lovin Spoonful (Bonus Edition) The Lovin Spoonful, a group that grew out of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s, was one of the true musical treasures of the 1960s.  In 1964, John Sebastian spent a lot of time sitting in with a group called the Mugwumps and met Zal Yanovsky one of the members of Mugwumps.  When the Mugwumps broke up after only eight months, John and Zal joined with Joe Butler and Steve Boone to create the Spoonful.  The rest, as they say, is history. Today's interview is a short, but very rare, 1966 interview with the original [...]

'Mad Men': Analyzing Its End-Credit Music From Dusty Springfield to The Kinks

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Television , Music Appreciation Mad Men Facebook After what feels like an eternity, Mad Men is finally coming back to cable. To celebrate, we used Sunday's season six premiere as an excuse to re-watch last season, over-analyze it for potential upcoming spoilers and listen to the soundtrack several times. Clearly, due to awesomeness, this led to us losing our minds. [...]

Friday on My Mind: Summer Heat! hot time in the city / photo by Brittney Bollay It’s time for Friday on My Mind again.

This week, in honor of Seattle finally getting full on Summer weather, we’re talking about Summer Heat! It’s hot out. In Seattle, its 90 degrees which is “damn hot”.

Hot: Summer in the City

Hot: Summer in the City The Lovin' Spoonful: Summer in the City [ purchase ] You can feel the 1960s heat rising off of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City." The band's first #1 single, the song started as a poem by John Sebastian's brother, Mark. All that remains from the original is the chorus (which sounds more like a typical Spoonful song than the rest of the song). John Sebastian toughened up the lyrics to reflect the sweltering tensions in American's urban areas. The mid-song sound effects further set the mood. "We hired an old [...]

Lost Classic: The Lovin’ Spoonful – Hums Of The Lovin’ Spoonful

The Lovin’ Spoonful - Hums Of The Lovin’ Spoonful Kama Sutra ) The Lovin’ Spoonful’s third record was one of those albums that suddenly found its way into my childhood collection, presumably a hand-me-down offering from my father when he figured out that the more time I spent dwelling in front of a record player was less time spent bugging him. It’s true: at a very young age, I was enraptured by the hypnotizing 33 1/3 revolutions per minutes and would absorb every detail of each platter that [...]

10 of Your Parents’ Songs of the Summer That Still Rock Today

The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City
More than any other season, we equate summer with music - outdoor festivals abound, boomboxes blast, and everyone you know has their "essential summer playlist" on heavy rotation.

Accordingly, we've collected a few "songs of the summer" from the '60s and '70s that we think still resonate today, and totally deserve a place on your 2012 summer fun mixtape [...]

Missing Davy Jones: Why The Monkees should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Missing Davy Jones: Why The Monkees should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame The best way to get appreciation for your work in the music business is to die.  After all, nothing but death could have forced the public at large to stop laughing at Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson and start listening to them again. What has transpired in the wake of Davy Jones’s death, however, is another matter entirely.  Jones left behind no internal struggles for us to lament.  But he did leave behind an emptiness in his professional life:  The Monkees were never inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his [...]

Eating too much Chocolate at V-day

Eating too much Chocolate at V-day In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints, the feast day of Saint Valentine on February 14 was removed from the General Roman Calendar and relegated to particular (local or even national) calendars for the following reason: "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14." The feast day is still celebrated in Balzan (Malta) where relics of the saint are claimed to be found, and also throughout the [...]

Nine Lives: Nashville Cats Lovin' Spoonful : Nashville Cats [ purchase ] The Del McCoury Band : Nashville Cats (Lovin' Spoonful cover) [ purchase ] I always heard a short lick of tongue-in-cheek in the original slinky, funky take on this mid-sixties tune from Lovin' Spoonful, though I don't think it was purposeful: it's a wry tune to begin with, but Darius wasn't wrong way back in 2008 when he described the song as an honest homage from lead songwriter John [...]
