The Monkees

[JBillington]

They toured extensively.

I see, so is that where the 'They dont play their instruments' controversy comes from? As I understand it Tork and Nesmith where reasonably accomplished as musicians, Jones had had an album out, and Dolenz had been in at least one band. I know no-one could drum, at least initially.

the real shame is talking to your friends about the monkees and they dont recognize any songs...except "i'm a believer".  you know, from Shrek.

Don't forget about that ebay commercial!

Anyone based in Toronto can catch Head at the Bloor Cinema tomorrow night -- it's being presented by Edgar Wright, who will be in attendance.

I've only heard Pool It and thought it was pretty good. How do their other albums stack up to oh forget it

Tapioca Tundra put me in touch with my inner freak (I think I was 11.)

See, all this time I thought The Monkees were in the canon.

I'd start with Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. or the awesome 1996 Monkees reunion album Justus.

In a related vein Clubbo Records was a made-up label with made-up bands and Real music.

I was seriously freaked when I found out it was fake. 

I was going to recommend it to you guys.  However, I checked to see if it was still happening and I ran into a Google warning along these lines: "Visiting This Site May Harm Your Computer" so I ran away.

Anyone who wants to give it a try is welcome.

Malware sounds too malicious to me.

I did think it was quite brilliant.  And some of the music was really quite good.

I'm gonna keep trying and one day one of these jokes will work. Maybe it was a punctuation problem.

Let's start over.

In truth, I have been totally obsessed with "Valleri" lately. I've listened to it a dozen times in the past week or so. This is probably a well-known factoid, but the Fall's "Barmy" is a straight lift of the bridge from "Valleri."
