ONE STEP BEYOND :
the 3rd L.P. from semi-legendary vancouver-L.A. combo riding the post-Ventures guitar wave into hitsville.
noteworthy for the 'guitar noodling' (according to Garage Music blog) and the appearance of MOBY GRAPE guitar wizard
mister what's his name. #############################################################################################

more skinhead reggae
I am watching Ayatollah Khamenei's speech from this past week, translated, and broadcast on the BBC this past friday.
It's fascinating, and certainly there are some awkward moments due presumably to the translation, but there is also that distinct stench of a regime trying to justify it's continued relevance.
Here we have VOLUME THREE of the fantastic series, YOU AND ME: BAK TO 69,
which is an exploration of the sixties skinhead phenomena of the sixties.
Affitionadoes will recognize some of the great stuff here.
It's been said before, but a new working class culture was trying to be forged.
heavens to betsy, this is quite exiting.

BONZO DOG BAND
check this
Bonzo Dog Band featured Vivian Stanshall and friends
and coexisted with the WHO, Eric CLapton, the Rolink Stonez,
Led Zepplin, Paul McCartney and all those other brits in the
late heyday period of rock over there.
Of all the mainstream pop/ rock
bands, I think the Bonzos did some of the best records of the period.
They often veered toward comedy, and at least oine of them ended up in
the MONTY PYTHON crew. (which one? look it up !)
One of them used to set off firecrackers and bombs for amusement, and did so on the site of a cancelled rock festival (or something like that..!!)(??)
another band member had swasticas painted on the ceilings at his house,
and another ended up hunting tigers in India (interestingly enough, they has a song: "HUNTING TIGERS OUT IN INDIAH".
