I wonder if Ray Davies likes Blur but not Oasis. Funny blurb on the cover of Couch Flambeau record by Gerard Cosloy: Couch Flambeau have more insight in their god-damned nostril hairs than the entire city of Hoboken (Conflict 39, late Feb., 1986) ====== Just some important history ====== The Specials broke off into these chains of bands (lead singer as the guiding mnemonic): {{:chapters:specials.jpg|}} ====== The "pinched" white soulfulness of ====== == == Mink DeVille == == Nils Lofgren == == Southside Johnny (& the Asbury Jukes) ====== Possible R&B influence on early reggae ====== Other than a basic level of soulfulness claims that early reggae imitated U.S. soul music have usually puzzled me === === //The Snake// -- Isley Brothers === === //I Say Love// -- Isley Brothers == == Horn part in "I Say Love." Snake and I Say Love are from an album I have with "Twist and Shout." Most of the songs on that alb are related to T&S (T&S written by Bill Medley). What blows the mind here is that "Twist and Shout"'s rhythm and chords are cited as Latin-influenced. So you have Latin influencing reggae, with U.S. R&B as the conduit ("Conduit for Sale," Pavement) === === //Pain in My Heart// -- Dells === === //Whip It on Me Baby// -- Coasters === === //Keep Lovin'// -- Billy Stewart == == Background singers' part === === //Just Keep It Up// -- Dee Clark === === //May I// -- Bill Deal and the Rhondells ====== Dub-like effects in Rascals "It's Wonderful" ====== ====== Late '70s early '80s reggae pervasiveness ====== == == Inxs == == David Lindley == == XTC == == Garland Jeffries == == The Clash == == Police == == Elvis Costello ====== Real names and name origins ====== Conway Twitty's name is compiled from the town names of two different towns in Texas. From crazydon submitting to Amiright.com, his given name was Harold Lloyd Jenkins (named after silent film star), recorded under real name before changing it.
