"The What's New"

The What's New - Early Morning Rain
from left: Jay Huling, Colin Scot, Kevin Shipman and Carl Berg The What's New have always fascinated record collectors: a group mistakenly listed as a Florida band, they released two EPs in France but nothing in the U.S. Their story starts with the Yachtsmen, a folk group founded by students at Long Beach City College in 1959.

WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban!: The Amazing Story of the Joe Tex/James Brown Feud

"Joe Tex and James Brown were bitter rivals. The beef started over a controversy about stage moves. JT thought JB swiped his trademark microphone kicking tricks. JB claimed JT stole them from him. This led to an escalating series of thefts and public jabs that stands up to any modern day hip-hop feud. After all, Joe Tex was the original rapper." via wfmuichiban.blogspot.com It's Joe Tex Month @ wfmuichiban.blogspot.com by the way

"Mini-skirts, Kids, Stores and Long Hair" (Magasins Des Jeunes Mini Jupes et Cheveux Longs)

Mini-skirts, Kids, Stores and Long Hair (Magasins Des Jeunes Mini Jupes et Cheveux Longs)
Documentary footage from France. Featuring an Ultra-Cool French Pop-Psych/Freakbeat band called "Les Something", who I don't think made any records. I couldn't find any info on them, anyway. Lots of great shots of cool 60's French dancing teens. It was labeled "Magasins Des Jeunes Mini Jupes et Cheveux Longs" which Google Translate tells me means "Mini-skirts, Kids, Stores and Long Hair". Not sure if that's an actual title or just something somebody made up. No idea when this was broadcast or on what show.
