(mosh)PIT STOP

haiiii

these are the coolest songs ive heard in my life

this is such a compliment thank u dandyandy

haiiii geo :333

i especially loved jack off jill

they r such an awesome band I love them

@ DJ Rat Princess (host) I remember news articles out of Britain from when I was a kid about the "teddy boys." They were kind of like America's "greasers" of the same era, a colorful lot with long, slicked-back Elvis-style hair, leather jackets and blue jeans, and also something of a bad reputation (at least for some of them) of being trouble makers who ran around in quasi-gangs.

yes exactly Richard of rocky hill! it was quite a phenomena back in the day I think the modern hedi boy is an evolved version of that

omg i just found an article: https://underground-england.com/from-teddy-boy-to-hedi-boy-the-shoe-with-a-point/

I think you're right. Later in the mid- to late-1960s, when the Beatles and other British bands adopted the more fashionable "modern" looks by designers in Carnaby Street, London (collarless suit jackets and matching tight slacks, with super-colorful, paisley-pattern shirts) they were called "mods". The teddy boys were known as "rockers," and there was lots in the UK press about "mods vs. rockers."

That's a great point Richard! Kind of reminds me of the Emo vs. Punks in Mexico 2008

then the Beatles went on to open the apple boutique which cemented more of their personal status in london fashion. maryleborne was a major place of Beatles history!

Exactly right about the Apple boutique!

In one of the Beatles movies ~ I think it was "A Hard Day's Night" ~ an older person sees Ringo or maybe the whole band, and mutters contemptuously, "Mods and rockers!"

omg I love that film and I didn't even notice!

I wish I could have been there to see the apple boutique while it was still open. I heard there might still be some existing pieces at FIT?

Pointy shoes. That article on sartorial fashion- So the 'upper' classes like pointy shoes. Why am I not surprised. Much more effective to get the roached who have retreated to the corners of the room.

I am not sure that 'Hard Day's Night did so well in the box office. I did love 'Yellow Submarine, saw it in a movie theater in West Chester PA, C 1968? The flip side of the record is quite good. Has the orchestral pieces. Written by the producer, pretty sure.

oh my haha lester that's an interesting way to put it!

I first watched a hard day's night on tcm I believe, but I do think the yellow submarine film is more known widespread and it has incredible visuals

so cool you got to see it in theaters!

Its at the edge of my consciousness. This was something that happened nearly 60 years ago. For some reason my mother- who is 90 now- had bought Sgt Pepper for him. (My father) I should find out where that theater was. I drive through WC Pa often. On certain streets I feel the vibe- That Theater was right here. But never quite sure.

PS I'll be 64 in a couple of weeks!

congrats lester! happy almost bday!

and that's amazing! a local theater can be so well ingrained in one's brain

@ Lester Wiggs Actually, "A Hard Day's Night" did very well at the box office. including in the USA. Even the very conservative New York Daily News gave it a full 4-star review.

I stand corrected.

Hey hey!

thx for the info richard! I had no idea

hi TAndy!

Links to Rockefeller Foundation funding, British intelligence (MI6), Freud/Jung psychoanalysis as tools for control, and global elites engineering societal breakdown ("social turbulence") to enable authoritarianism. Turn it Up!!!!

My "Hard Day's Night" moment ... when George Harrison goes walking around the suites in the building above the theater/TV studio where the Beatles are rehearsing, and he wanders into the office of a teenage/pop culture consultant-expert. The walls are filled with charts and graphs to calculate when the next big teen trend is coming. It quickly becomes deliciously obvious that this supposed pop culture not only doesn't recognize Harrison ~ he doesn't even know the Beatles exist!!!

More than 60 years later, and this satire of pontificating consultants is even more on target than ever!!! :-D

I remember listening to 'Wolfman Jack' years ago. He was asking listeners 'Who is Your 'Favourite Beatle'. I loved George's left handed sitar.

"Clap for the Wolfman/ He's gonna rate your record high!/ Clap for the Wolfman/ You gonna dig him 'til the day you die ..."

tru

yes I remember that scene in the film Richard! and I agree about your consultant note haha

george is awesomeeeee

I oddly came across a 20.KW transmitter. Those radio RF people are smart, but also a lot smarter than I am.

his friendship with Ravi Shankar was so sweet

How about George on the set,

Good afternoon

good afternoon rob!

which set lester?

When Madonna - at the height of her career- has a falling out with Sean Penn? But anyway- George Harrison- the produces says, Have you never had a falling out with your wife/husband. No Never. I am on a ship in the southern pacific. I know nothing of what you speak of.

George Harrison. Producer. They have words. Executive Director. Showrunner. The Wizard of Odd

this reminds me of the line in a hard days night that goes something like how do you find America and john says turn left at Greenland

ooooo I gotta check that out lester!

Birds incoming.

Been listening in offline, that awesome "Long ago Gardens" track was either epically strange or strangely epic. As if Mike Oldfield and David Bowie collaborated on a death metal song maybe?

Birds aren't real

sheeit missed djrp! bless up

Horses aren't real either.

There is no evidence that Mike Oldfield and David Bowie collaborated on a death metal song.

@Andy thank you so much! that's an awesome description of the track glad u liked it!

hi Michael! bless up

@ DJ Rat Princess (host) Groovy fab gear show!!! :-D

Is this the social media I have been hearing about?

thank you Richard!!! have a great day!
