Hi, Bob, Duke & Mike! Rare treat to get to the comments list.9:10am : dig that lick from "walk like a man"9:10am : hey kat9:10am : What Duke said...9:11am : Saw Dennis W. sing "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" in late 60s Kansas City.9:16am : Some Tech problems this morning eh? Great to hear the Beach Boys and Dennis..9:29am : *Some* girls. Not all of us.9:31am : Great to hear the Brainen/Diken power-duo! Good stuff fellas!🥁 9:34am : www.youtube.com... Dennis Wilson drums and shakes his head on the T.A.M.I show. Some great performances on that show. It's like a snapshot of popular music in the mid 60's9:38am : Thanks for the link!9:48am : Afternöön all. Good show.9:49am : Moi, Mauri! I see it's a double umlaut afternoon over there. :)9:54am : It's the saturday of äöäöäöäös here.9:56am : Lauantai, ei? [Philo's not home to verify at the moment]9:56am : i hate to say i never cared for the beach boys although i like brian and van dyke parks work together. BUT --- i appreciate that only a station like fmu would do a show like this.9:58am : This is lush and lovely forever!🥁 9:58am : Yes, this is beautiful9:59am : Ha!9:59am : Love these tracks, just beautiful. Thank you9:59am : Wow, what an ending yelp!10:00am : re: folk sounding - i always heard a barbershop influence10:01am : That's correct kat!
Maybe I hit the city tonight.
these songs make me feel like summer tho the weather is dreadful.10:01am : Their coordinated stripes would support that.🥁 10:02am : @dale like you I was never a beach boys fan, but over the last couple of years I have really begun to appreciate them lately after re-listening to stuff like Pet Sounds.10:02am : Dennis, i also got B.B. Today right when it came out. I remember buying it at J.C. Penney's (everyone had a record dept. then!), when I was at the store with my mother (I was 11). Listening to it continuously,it was like some hard to fathom glimpse into an adult world, and a world out beyond the confines of Erie, PA. And I'm glad to say that that album still holds much of its original mystery for me. Happy new year Bob and Dennis! (further delighted to be listening whilst visiting in Brooklyn.)10:05am : Yes it was This Car10:05am : duke, i'm liking what i'm hearing. it's just that you never heard this stuff on the radiola.
david - been to the peninsula MANY times when living in wny10:07am : My minimal star-clicking suggests I'm also not a huge BB fan, but God Only Knows there are more than a handful of their songs / sounds right up there in my fave songs of all time.10:12am : How about Pacific Ocean Blue?10:13am : Celebrate the News - the great b side of Breakaway10:15am : I suppose, in general, my sonic tastes lean to Brian over Dennis.10:15am : Laurie bird is also great in cockfighter, another monte hellman flick10:18am : @Sd: Yes! Philo and I published some Charles Willeford works and through that got to know his widow, Betsy. Have you seen Woman Chaser?(she can be seen in one scene of the film)10:22am : Dale - yes, Presque Isle State PArk -grew up with regular visits to that place (in summers with family -then, as a teenager, in winters too, taking in the existential bleakness of the frozen lake - and also getting stoned, circa 1970-71).10:24am : Wow, can we please get link to the live Little Honda, if it was from youtube...10:25am : you meet the nicest people on a little honda10:26am : I did some nice things AND not so nice things in my Little Honda... Well, until it was stolen in Queens. Haha...10:27am : Here's one of the nicest people on Google Earth on his little Honda Twinstar: goo.gl...10:28am : @kat: Charles Willeford? Very envious; love, love those books. The voice: singular in that genre, to my reading ear.10:30am : kat, that is just downright creepy - and cool! is that a 200 or 400?10:31am : @kat never heard of it. I thought she was only in those two movies and annie hall10:32am : i had to google who rumbo was - the captain! i DO really like this solo stuff.10:32am : @Sem: Just about exactly this date in 2009, we were staying overnight with Betsy in Miami. Here's a couple links: tinyurl.com... and
tinyurl.com...10:34am : @dale: Isn't it?? Philo said he noticed the Google Earth vehicle behind him, even waved at it, and then periodically checked the area to see if the new "footage" showed up -- and it did.
@Sd: Realized I was unclear. Betsy, not Laurie, in The Woman Chaser (common link being Willeford work).10:34am : Great show - perfect timing! Best wishes for a great New Year!10:34am : @dale: Philo just walked in the door: "a 250"10:36am : @kat: very grateful for these. What a serendipitous connection.10:36am : i have a ct90, cb200, cm400 and my wife has a hondamatic 400. you can't kill an old honda.10:37am : hoke moseley is one of the great anti-heroes.10:38am : @dale: I know nothing of bikes myself. He got it a couple years ago to commute to his nearby office and allowing us to get by with just one car (NOT a Honda ;).
@Sem: Those book covers are Philo's handiwork, too.10:39am : [yelling off-screen PHILO, get in here and read the comments! I'm out of my depth!]10:42am : @glenn :)10:42am : graphic designers too? that was my old life for 25 years til i got burned out and said enuf10:42am : you meet the nicest people on an fmu comments board10:42am : Willeford and classic Hondas? Damn. I need to start from the beginning. Hello, all!10:46am : Dale, that's a 1982 CM250C. I'd rather be on a 1970 CL350, but I wanted something slightly newer I can learn basic mechanics on, without the need to wrench every single day.10:47am : this is a great blog for folks who like books and book design.
www.casualoptimist.com10:49am : you wouldn't need to wrench either very much. just run some seafoam or techron and marvel mystery oil in your gas to keep carbs clean and top end lubed. stators and regulators are easy to find which is the only issue an old honda may have10:49am : I can tie Beach Boys and Philo's Twinstar in a neat bow: tinyurl.com...
Hey, Bob and Dennis, this has been a special morning with you and the BB's! Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!10:49am : Interesting and creepy about Laurie Bird is that she was Art Garfunkel's girlfriend and when he was the lead in Nicolas Roeg's BAD TIMING, Theresa Russell played his girlfriend and her fate mirrored Bird's. I think it was an accident that it turned out that way, but creepy nevertheless...10:51am : that same basic motor lives on in the rebel. don't think it's ANY different except for the frame and rake and trail10:52am : @Glenn Interestingly synchronous link! First thing I see is Luc Sante writing about Llewyn Davis, and he not only is a big Willeford fan, but was married to Melissa Pierson who wrote one of the best motorcycle books of recent vintage, The Perfect vehicle. Not Hondas so much, but Guzzis'.10:54am : i have a 72 bmw airhead too. wasn't gonna spoil the bonding moment. you want a guzzi/honda get a cx50010:55am : @Dale Yeah, that engine started with the Twinstar, CM250 is the mid-period (and not quite as ugly as the Rebel), and still chugging along in Rebel. There's something about those early 70s Japanese bikes that appeals... and I'd never want anything bigger than a 500.10:56am : i had an st1300 for a while. great on the highway. a monster for the driveway🥁 10:56am : Great show Bob and Dennis. Thanks!10:56am : One of their better covers!10:58am : Do You Wanna Dance - one of the most insane mixes ever. Verses are pulled back then the chorus hits and BOOM!10:58am : Hoping 2014 is better in all ways for us all -- Happy New Year, Friends!10:58am : I like the light weight and overall nimbleness of smaller bikes. T500 Suzuki or Guzzi V5 monza outside pre-76 Honda Scramblers....10:59am : if you never get passed by a semi i prefer little as well.11:00am : Been a great soundtrack to a fun conversation! Did anyone mention Two-Lane Blacktop??11:00am : INCREDIBLE show... reminds one how worthwhile our donations are!11:01am : Great show!!!!
