Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)
I’m not a huge fan of garage and pub bands. There are many, many records dedicated to the energetic racket pounded out by lo-fi knuckleheads from the early 60’s through to God knows when. There are talented exceptions to this annoying band-clash brigade, however. Dr. Feelgood is certainly one of… Continue

Great Canadian Singles – Hammersmith
Having grown up in Canada, I had the fortune to be exposed to a lot of songs that the rest of the world missed out on. Canadian Content Laws have done wonders for Canadian artists, but it’s also done wonders for Canadian music fans. (sorry Libertarians) I’m going to post some artists who put out some… Continue

Middle Brother – A Pretty Darned Good Band!
So, last night, I decided to check out some of the performances from the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions on Youtube. There wasn’t much to see. Too early. There were videos by a band called Middle Brother, however. I had not heard of these gentlemen but curiosity got the better of me and I… Continue

Songs That Must Be Heard - Dar Williams
For whatever reason (I think I’ve probably expounded upon this topic enough) some brilliant songs, despite their obvious brilliance, fail to become hits. Radio Vickers is out to rectify that situation, by giving these songs their day in the sun. Hopefully, people in the U.S. and the other approximately 45 countries that have tuned us in, will see the merit in some of this work and seek to monetarily reward these great artists by purchasing their musical fare. …

The Fugs – The Band that Loved Boobs A Lot!
I was a late comer to The Fugs. I think I read something about them in a magazine. Hadn’t even really heard of them until I was in L.A. but now I was intrigued. I can remember dragging Judith to Moby Disc and to purchase Fugs albums. They were only available as Italian imports and the…

Fischer Z – Going Deaf For a Living
I’m sitting in my dingy (and I’m not exaggerating) apartment in Oshawa Ontario, being poisoned to death by the emissions from the GM plant right next door. The radio is on (CFNY, of course) and I’m listening to a song that really catches my ear. It’s by a band called Fischer Z.… Continue

Blue Cheer – Oh Pleasant Hope
I was in the late, great Moby Disc one day, scouring the used racks an I came upon an interesting album cover. It was called “Oh Pleasant Hope” and had a sort of psychedelic, quilty cover. And it was only $1.99, so I picked it up. While I was paying for it, and the guy behind… Continue

Slade - Keep Your Hands off My Power Supply
The year is probably 1975 and I’m buying some albums out of a stack left at the MCVI radio station by Kevin G. I pick three, as I recall. A double live by Grand Funk, One Fine Morning by Lighthouse (see earlier blog) and Slade Alive. Two of these three could not have been better purchases.
When my ears got a hold of the gut blasting pop noise and Noddy Holder’s jet engine of a voice coming out of that Alive album, I was hooked. For years I’ve pestered and prodded my friends in the hopes… Continue

Harry Nilsson – I Sang, I Drank, I’m Dead
Rock and roll is replete with victims. One of the saddest of those maybe Harry Nilsson. So much talent. So much booze. So many cigarettes. Goodbye.
The first time I ever laid ears on those gorgeous tonsils, I was touring around Europe with my parents. Coconut was on Radio Luxembourg several… Continue

Julianna Raye – Something Peculiar (a truly great album - Produced by Jeff Lynne!)
One day, many years ago, my wife called me from the car. She’d been listening to Morning Becomes Eclectic and she’d just heard a song that pricked up her ears. The song was called, “I Will Get You Back”. Judith didn’t know who it was by, but she knew that she liked what she heard. Never one to let… Continue

Bill Nelson - Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam
Just before Bill Nelson bought an A-ticket to whackyville, he put out a couple of excellent albums. Sound on Sound was a marvelous trip into the future of music. Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam would be the last of his great albums. I can remember seeing it on the… Continue

Dave Davies – Kink (book review)
First off, I know that this album was put out 15 years ago, but I just got around to reading it. Perhaps others haven’t gotten around to it yet. Thus my review.
The book has some very interesting stuff in it. An insight into the very complicated relationship he has with his brother. His sex… Continue

Anna Borg's blog post was featuredI totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out
So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
