The Myddle Class
Listen – The Myddle Class – I Happen To Love You – MP3
Howdy.
Welcome back to Iron Leg, and the second installment of Locals Only.
As I said in the first installment (Motifs), this would be dedicated to NJ (and when possible Monmouth/Ocean County) acts.
Today’s selection comes from one of the better NJ garage punk [...]
Locals Only!!! #2 – The Myddle Class – I Happen To Love You
Baby’s (Odd) First Words / Ian & the Zodiacs Reprise…
Pink Panther
Greetings.
Myself, the wife and the little Grogans are preparing to hit the road for a little mid-summer mini vacation, but I couldn’t leave without posting something.
At the risk of boring the crap out of you (“Hey! Who wants to see the slides of me cleaning out the garage?”), I must relate to you the [...]
Six O’Clock…Twice…
The Lovin’ Spoonful
Listen – The Artie Schroeck Implosion – Six O’Clock – MP3
Listen – The Lovin’ Spoonful – Six O’Clock- MP3
Greetings.
I hope the end of the week finds you well, and prepared for some pop.
This story starts an eon ago, the first time I heard a song by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
I can’t say with any [...]
The Animals – I’m Gonna Change the World
The Animals
Listen – I’m Gonna Change the World- MP3
Howdy.
I hope everyone had a cool weekend (literally and figuratively) and your ready for a little bit of heat.
One of the first records I ever sought out back when I was round about 13 was the mid-70’s Abcko ‘Best of the Animals’.
Like a zillion other people, the [...]
The Genius of Droopy Dog (and the wolf, man….)
Tex Avery’s Droopy Dog
Greetings all.
I come to you this evening, tired after another week strapped to the wheel, yet ready and raring to drop the gospel of Droopy Dog.
As I mentioned previously, I’ve spent a good deal of time watching old-school animation (sometimes very old, i.e. Ub Iwerks) with my 3 ½ year old son. [...]
The Holy Mackerel – Love For Everyone
The Holy Mackerel
Paul Williams 2nd from left (as if you didn’t know…)
Listen – Love For Everyone – MP3
Greetings.
I hope everyone is well, and digging the new Funky16Corners Radio mix.
If you -like me – are in the Northeast US, I also hope you’re staying cool. I work late on Mondays, and on my way home tonight [...]
Locals Only!!! – The Motifs – If I Gave You Love
The Motifs
Listen – The Motifs – If I Gave You Love – MP3
Greetings.
I hope everyone is having an excellent summer weekend.
Today’s post is the first in a series (of no set interval) of local (i.e. confined to NJ) music, mostly of the 60’s garage variety.
I decided to start off with one of my faves by [...]
The Racial Politics of Mr. Magoo
E Tu Magoo??
Bet you never thought you’d see a blog post with a title like that.
I’m actually only half serious dropping a line like that, but allow me to explain.
In the last few years I’ve had a lot of fun introducing my son (who’s now 3 ½) to the joys of classic cartoons.
As you might [...]
Ian & the Zodiacs – The Crying Game
Ian & the Zodiacs
Listen – The Crying Game – MP3
Greetings.
I figured that for the first music post here at Iron Leg I ought to grab something out of left field (and that I already had digitized…). That selection is a rather uncharacteristic number by one of the (unjustly) dim lights of the British Beat era, [...]
Stardust The Super Wizard!
Greetings once again, or more likely for the first time, since I doubt anyone’s been here except for little ole me….
I have to start this entry by stating that I was never a comic book kid. This is not to say that I never read comic books, but rather that I never developed any lasting [...]
