It's pretty easy to get a little confused about the particulars of a certain 'blue-eyed soul' group - especially its name. But even if the group started out as the Rascals, then changed to the Young Rascals for a while before eventually changing back to the original, it entertained a lot of fans in the late 1960s with best-sellers like "Good Lovin'," "Groovin'," and "People Got to Be Free." The Rascals came to life in the New York area in the mid-1960s. Felix Cavaliere, who'd had some experience as a keyboardist and singer in other groups, joined [...]
Gründe, in die Berge zu fliehen, gibt es immer - noch und wieder. Auch Dornröschen und seemoz locken derzeit mit virtuellen Ausflügen in die schöne, klare Bergwelt. Neulich, es ist inzwischen schon eine Woche her, gab es wieder mal 2 gewichtige und 2 einfache Gründe: Frau B. lud zum Gipfeltreffen mit Geburtstagskuchen und Sekt, es war heiss und es war Freitag. Grund 1 ist selbsterklärend und
Independence Day comes and goes with nary a thought to most people. The more I read about history the more I admire the Founding Fathers, the men who took the bull by the horns on D-Day and the blood that was shed so I didn't have to live my life under another government of tyranny. Certain forces are still coming after our collective freedom, but chances are I'll outlast them at my age. The Fourth of July is a really cool holiday, but I don't think a lot of folks think of it as anything other than a long weekend that splits the summer months. [...]

It had been close to 40 years since the original lineup of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Rascals (a.k.a. The Young Rascals) had performed as a unit - until Saturday. Oh, the wonders that can arise when people come together for a good cause. As reported by TwentyFourBit , the lineup of singer Eddie Brigati, guitarist Gene Cornish, keyboarist Felix Cavaliere, and drummer Dino Danelli performed at Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Grill in New York City Saturday. The concert was in support of the Kristen Ann Carr Fund , which benefits victims of sarcoma. Steven [...]
Μετά από μια γρίπη, μια τροφική δηλητηρίαση (να χέσω την πολυτέλεια του λευκού κρασιού με στρείδια),μια τενοντίτιδα στο αριστερό πόδι, ένα διάστρεμμα στο δεξί και τις ανάλογες ώρες μπροστά στην τηλεόραση με το έθνος να πάλλεται από ιερή οργή γιατί κάποιος τόλμησε να τους πει την αλήθεια, είπα: "Ή θα πάω στον ψυχίατρο ή θα χωθώ στην κουζίνα να ψιλοκόψω λαχανικά". Συνήθως βοηθάει. Έδωσα μια ανεπιτυχή μάχη με ένα πουρέ σελινόριζας ακούγοντας The Radio Dept. Κρίμα, γιατί την προηγούμενη φορά με τους Le Loup [...]
Sunday afternoon. Valentine's Day. I spent a good part of the late morning listening to the warm, soul of Booker T. and the MG's on the turntable. Church is different for us all. The choice of vinyl albums for the morning were decided upon by the usual, random pull from the stacks but in this particular case I can't help but think that my choice of Booker T. was also somehow influenced by the recent laughter and talk of old friends [...]
Probably Bob Dylan 's most famous song, Like A Rolling Stone shows no sign of gathering moss just yet. He's still playing it live to this day, and unusually for 21st Century Bob, it sounds fairly similar to the original 1965 version released on Highway 61 Revisited . Dylan loves playing around with songs, changing them, playing them in different keys and in diferent tempos ( LARS was originally in 3/4 waltz time). If you get him on a good night, he might have told the band that the key has changed before they start playing it. On a [...]
Pas plus tard qu'hier soir, j'étais assis devant mon ordinateur, écoutant de la musique avec ma copine en face de moi, sur skype bien évidement. Oui bien évidement parce que je ne pouvais pas être en face de ma copine et du PC en même temps, sauf si... Bref ce n'est pas le plus important même si je tiens beaucoup aux détails. Donc je disais, tous réunis, moi, ma copine, mon PC et la musique, baignant dans la bonne humeur c'est alors que ma chérie me demanda gentiment d'arrêter la musique, chose à laquelle je m'abstins. Froissée, elle répliqua rien [...]
The Rascals: Groovin' From Groovin' (Atlantic, 1967) Editor's Note: This guest post comes from Scott Homewood who wanted to muse on the magic of the (Young) Rascals, one of more prominent blue-eyed soul groups that emerged during the mid/late 1960s. --O.W. Written by Scott Homewood: When someone brings up the word "soul" pertaining to music, I immediately flash back to the first time I heard "Groovin'" by The (Young) Rascals. Let me tell you a little something: if you have not [...]
