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 [...]
Moby Grape : Omaha [ purchase ] 1967 was indeed one of the better rock years. My esteemed collegue Geoviki already mentioned several groundbreaking albums below, and I could add at least twenty more. But I'll lift out just one that has always been especially dear to me: Moby Grape's eponymous debut. A remarkably consistent psychedelic masterpiece with countryrock and folk influences, it should have been a [...]
What's big and purple and lives in the ocean? And so Moby Grape was named.

The Overnight Camp Days (from left to right): Scott, Vadim, Dan, Evan, and Mike. Yes, you are correct, that is a hemp necklace around my neck. My shame is greater than your shame. You've read my screed about how horrible NBC's The Event is, but you probably finished the article and thought to yourself, "Yeah, but how does that effect me , asshole!" Well, here's your chance to get up off your lazy ass and do something about it, shithead. Sign this petition to help get The Event canceled. [...]
Another visit to Sal's Boutique for more of Dick's 452s In The Raw... Produced by the iconic Mickey Most (discoverer of the Animals and the Nashville Teens and producer of Lulu , Donovan and Jeff Beck ), this record is hardly a rarity. According to All Music Guide, this tune can be found on 380 different CD's currently on the market, with versions recorded by everyone from Skeeter Davis to Phoebe Legere to MUD (though none of them appearing on the same [...]
Indeed, indeed, I cannot tell, Though I ponder on it well, Which were easier to state, All my love or all my hate. Surely, surely, thou wilt trust me When I say thou dost disgust me. O, I hate thee with a hate That would fain annihilate; Yet sometimes against my will, My dear friend, I love thee still. It were treason to our love, And a sin to God above, One iota to abate Of a pure impartial hate. -Thoreau An [...]
Filed under: News , New Music Robert Plant 's next album, 'Band of Joy,' won't be out until Sept. 14, but Thursday night at the Back Room, a clandestine bar in New York City's Lower East Side, critics and industry folks were given an early listen. In case they weren't sure what they thought, the man himself dropped by to offer his own review. "It's fantastic music, even though I say so myself," Plant told the audience, minutes after the disc's final track, 'Even This Shall Pass [...]
Something tells me, if I had been at San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom in June of '67 to witness Moby Grape at the height of their powers, scorching through their set of two-minute pop blasts, blaring triple-guitar action and five-part harmonies soaring, I might not have survived the night. None was the match of the mighty Grape in those days; the band was "flying musically" and easily the toughest act around. Moby Grape Live is the first official release to afford a glimpse into the raucous and entrancing stage performances of one of the most exciting, original, and underappreciated [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Tony Bellamy, guitarist and singer for the 1970s band Redbone -- best known for its 1974 Top 5 smash 'Come and Get Your Love' -- died on Christmas morning in a Las Vegas hospital. According to Blurt, the 69-year-old musician -- born Anthony Avila -- succumbed to liver failure. Pioneers in the Native American rock movement, the L.A.-based band formed in 1969 with the encouragement of Jimi Hendrix , who suggested that a rock band with their ancestry might do well in [...]

Filed under: News , Video , New Music Beck continues to blow the dust off late '60s albums in his Record Club, the impromptu pow-wows with his musician friends that reinterpret a vintage album in a day's time. Hansen launched the web-based studio introspective earlier this year with covers of the moody 'The Velvet Underground and Nico ' and 'Songs of Leonard Cohen .' More recently Beck's been honoring late Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape member [...]
The 2nd edition of Beck's Record Club ended a few weeks back. Devendra Banhart, members of MGMT, Andrew from Wolfmother, Binki from Little Joy and Brian Lebarton and Bram Inscore from the first edition all joined Beck in the studio to record in one day, Leonard Cohen's 1968 debut album "Songs Of Leonard Cohen". Which you can download [...]
Filed under: News , New Music Beck 's Record Club continues to astound music fans . After tackling 'The Velvet Underground & Nico ' and 'Songs of Leonard Cohen ' over the past several months, rock's favorite chameleon has announced his club's third installment: Skip Spence 's 1969 album 'Oar'. If that's not enough, he's lured Wilco , Feist and Jamie Lidell to assist him with his rendering of the late Moby Grape founder's cult favorite. The [...]
1967 Columbia Moby Grape *'Omaha' * found this track on a compilation in the Rasputin used bin tonight. There's still lots of plastic for sale if you go the stores. I was looking for a Harry Nilsson record and then I ran into this. 18 solid numbers from various artists for $5.95. I will defer to Robert Christgau for the proper respect, " Moby Grape was that good - a pop-smart whirl of blazing white R&B, country twang and psychedelic balladry." Tap in. [...]
"Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete, I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street, To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun, I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun..." Thanks for that, Bob, could not have said it any better myself. As it happens to be my - umpteenth - wedding anniversary today, here´s a tenpack of songs about that weird phenomenon called marriage. Married man may be a fool, Ry, and granted Tom, I [...]
In the late 1960s Columbia Records tried to be really hip because, after all, they had nothing to lose. This is the oldest recording label - founded in 1888 to sell Thomas Edison's new-fangled recording machines - and in the Sixties this label was really suffering from a "credibility gap." With one huge exception: Columbia (by this time they were owned by CBS) stumbled onto the burgeoning folk craze in the early 1960s and signed Bob Dylan. Dylan went on to change popular music virtually singlehandedly (the Beatles helped a little) but even so Columbia had very few [...]
Today is Victoria Day in Canada, a statutory holiday to celebrate the long reign of Queen Vicotria and the current reigning monarch's official birthday. Since the current reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, is of the House of Windsor , I thought today would be a perfect day to link to a great post I read last week on the music scene of Windsor, Ontario. This link is from a new music blog called North by East West , a blog about all thinks music related in Canada which I very occasionally contribute to. [...]
If you're not convinced Moby Grape were one of the hippest, baddest, realest, and rawest bands of the late 1960s then grab this new outtakes and live cuts compilation from Sundazed and try to explain otherwise. The Place and the Time collects unissued recordings by Moby Grape and presents them more or less chronologically from 1967 to 1968 over 2 LPs. Side One combines auditions...
