If I don't put these on as many media as possible, they will die. Here's our Bandcamp page.
Man Against Mauve - Diamonds (1989)
Man Against Mauve -I Dance (1989)
Man Against Mauve - Money From The Tomb (1988)
Man Against Mauve - In This City (1988)
Tony Randall, Bernadette Peters, Anthony Newley, Dianne Carr. Mel Tillis, Paul Williams - The Beatles Forever (1977) An unholy amalgam of Hollywood tuxedoed tackiness taking The Beatles catalog and smooshing it into an unrecognizable pulp. You should really listen, at least once. But not much more. Paul Williams sings "Ticket To Ride" and "Hey Jude" like he's making fun of it. Just cash the checks already.
Kay Weaver - Ripoff USA (Song-poem)
The Archies - Betty (1969)
Bobby Lee Trammell - New Dance In France (1964) With attendant fake audience noises. In this record he is referred to as the American Beatle.
Cheap Trick - Clock Strikes Ten (Steve Albini mix) (1997) Steve Albini invited Cheap Trick to his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, and asked them to re-record the entire 'In Color' album.
Fleur De Lys - Gong With a Luminous Nose (1968) Gordon Haskell of King Crimson (the 'Lizard' era) was in this band at this time.
Neil Diamond was, more or less, an inoffensive songwriter with a mediocre voice and a penchant for appealing to old ladies. When he tried to be current or relevant, often it ended in embarrassment. "The Jazz Singer" and "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" come to mind.
Neil Diamond - Dancing In The Street (1979) Not since the Grateful Dead has so much soul been sucked out of this song. Like it was a contest.
Neil Diamond - Everybody's Talkin' (1973)
Neil Diamond - Monday, Monday (1966)
Neil Diamond - Knackeflerg (1968)
Neil Diamond - Red, Red Wine (1967)
Doris - Did You Give The World Some Love Today, Baby? (1970)
Gentle Giant - Weekend Cowboy (1970)
Mel Tormé - Spinning Wheel (1969)
Ray Conniff Singers - Aquarius (1969)
The Walker Brothers - The Electrician (1978)
Stevie Wonder - Evil (1972)
Beach Boys - Slip On Thru (1970)
Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Hot City Symphony (1974)
