Born To Rock... Out...

Here goes... the last post for this feature (and I still haven't decided what's going to replace it), so I'm off to Wikipedia to see if I can find a good one to end the year on a high note! Wish me luck!

Dec. 31st, 1943 - Ending this feature on an "oldie-but-goodie", Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife, founding member of, and bass guitarist with, The Kinks (until 1969), was born...

And, because this is how long some of you will stay up today / tonight / tomorrow morning... "All Day And All Of The Night"...

I Love This Song!

I've heard this played on our local radio station a couple of times recently, and it's such a catchy song - It's a cover of "Village Green Preservation Society" by Kate Rusby (originally by The Kinks), and was apparently done for the TV programme "Jam And Jerusalem"...

Born To Rock...

Feb. 3rd, 1947 - Dave Davies of The Kinks is born...

"Lola"...

(Looking back, I did "Lola" in June last year, but it's a great song, so who cares?)

The Musical Interlude...

Subtitled: Monkeying Around

Inspired by two songs I've heard this morning... the first on Kerrang! as I was getting ready for work...

The Bloodhound Gang and "The Bad Touch"...

Then, the song that the taxi driver was playing this morning - AND SINGING ALONG TO! - "Apeman" by The Kinks...

The Musical Interlude...

Two tonight on the theme of mistaken identity...

First up, Aerosmith and "Dude Looks Like A Lady"...

And then "Lola" by The Kinks...
