C&L's Late Night Music Club With The Kinks

Title: A Long Way From Home
Artist: The Kinks

I've been listening to this song a whole lot lately and I find the critique of the music business on 1970's Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneyground, Part One to be pretty spot on, even 40 years later.

I'm headed to the mountains this weekend, so the honorable Max Bernstein will be back at the helm here for a few days. Have a great holiday!

Lola versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round, Part One

thought some Squeeze may be in order:
Another Nail For My Heart

(and one of the coolest little pop guitar solos of the entire horrible '80s)

... so if you can spare a kind thought for us on the 'Least Coast awaiting Hurricane Earl :-)
boarding up and all hence the carpentry related theme.

Never too much of Squeeze, thanks for that link. I don't think there's a better single greatest hits disc ever than their "Singles - 45 and Under". Second only to the Beatles as the greatest pop/rock band ever, Tilbrook is a guitar and songwriting genius, and Tilbrook/Difford had a magical thing going.

Cool cockney lyrics and a lot of wild pogo dancing.

There's probably a bit of it in there that matches up w/some spammer's url that we've got set to auto-violate.

Just drop down the 'More' button. Not sure why 'More' just isn't replaced with 'Edit', as it is the only option, but...

Even though its a bit silly, Apeman was always my favorite song from this album.

Honestly though, I more often put on Kinks Kronikles (the compilation that covers this era of the Kinks) than I do any album in particular, except when I want to hear 20th Century Man. That is one helluva tune. I never understood why it wasn't universally acknowledged as one of the greatest rock songs ever.

as well. The Beat Farmers did a great version of it on "Loud, Plowed and Live!" that's worth hunting down, but there's no vid.

Another great Beat Farmers tune, probably in my top 20 as well:

"Hollywood Hills" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iquVd12M4lQ

as worthless. I think so much of the best Kinks stuff came out in this decade.

Thanks for reminding me of this show. I thought I downloaded it, but I can't find anywhere. Trying again...
