Thanks for these videos. You made me smile this morning. Happy memories. Marc Bolan was very weird but he was a great talent. Rest in peace Marc.

The Queen of weird. The wonderfull Kate Bush. Suspended In Gaffa.

Laurie Anderson. Let X=X. Can't find a good video of this lady. But I love this music.

Fleetwood Mac. The Chain. Lindsay Buckingham was a superb and underrated guitarist.

Sweet. Love Is Like Oxygen. Nice live version. The Tempo is slightly faster than the studio version, but it still works.

With the single exception of WWOZ in New Orleans, all my local radio stations are crap.

You folks keep up the good work.

Regards and Best Wishes

All these solos are lessons in themselves from true masters.

It’s another frantic Friday at the Record Party, gang, and the end of

For Mothers everywhere: Happy Mother’s Day!

Each and every one of us here at the Record Party know where we’d be
without you, Mom. And so do these folks…
ELVIS PRESLEY “That’s Alright Mama”
[youtube][/youtube]
BOB DYLAN “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”
[youtube][/youtube]
SAVOY BROWN “Tell Mama”
[youtube][/youtube]
THE INTRUDERS “I’ll Always Love My Mama”

MR. T “Treat Your Mother Right” (I pity the fool who don’t!)
[youtube][/youtube]

[ChiO]

With the conclusion of Mother’s Day and the start of a fire at the Noir
polling place, this little salute is timely:

Four (then three) tough scary chicks from Queens + leftovers from
the Spector wall-of-sound + more teenage angst than you thought
ever existed = The SHANGRI-LAS. The last minute of “I Can
Never Go Home Anymore” still gives me goosebumps.

“Mama!!!!!”

“He Cried”
[youtube][/youtube]

“Give Us Your Blessings”
[youtube][/youtube]

“Out in the Streets”
[youtube][/youtube]

“Remember (Walkin’ in the Sand)”

“I Can Never Go Home Anymore”

And speaking of noir (we were, weren’t we?) welcome to our late-night
Record Party musical tribute to Ulmer’s DETOUR…
Part One:

Part Two:

Ah, ChiO, the Shangri-Las.

In Brooklyn, we used to call them the "Shango-rillas." Did you know that Marge and Mary Ann (the ones with the bouffants) are twins?

Wish I'd had stock in a hairspray company back then.

"How does he dance?

Close. Very, very close."

[ChiO]

My little fantasy is that one (or each) of them babysat Joey Ramone. It would explain much.
