Wow, it's strange how strong my tendency is to go off topic...
I've managed to get a thread about music as a sticky in a Sartorial style forum, and then I post about cars in this very same thread...
you don't think I'm a motorhead, please!

You know I'm tempted to bring this thread back to music at your mention of the word moterhead, but I fear it may get me kicked off the forum.
Don't worry, we've already had hardcore punk...
I'm all for your brand of off-topic HBH. Thanks for the article and the picks.
And for SS.
Motorhead, "The Chase is Better than the Catch"

Why thank you sir. While we are being unpunk and naming the best punk band. Here is the most famous one from the second best "punk" band of all time...and the band every drunk old metalhead yells for at every concert....Motorhead

All this talk of cars. Dick Dale on the Ed Sullivan show (it's amazing how much of this stuff is out there on youtube).

Thx, D&F and ScarletStreet! Not only for the comments but also for the Lemmy tune... brilliant rock'n'roll lyricist....
.... and, as it said in another thread, it's all connected...
wasn't rock'n'roll always about cars (or more correctly carsongirls)...

monkey business live in 69
way after his prime, but still better than most stuff then, and don't mind the hippies in the video....

I had this video of Chuck when I was a kid. Some big all star concert with Keith Richards acting as bandleader. It's kind of funny watching him yell at Keith for playing his songs wrong..Actually it looks like that's on youtube as well...even further past his prime...

Dick Dale! I gave myself a wrist injury learning how to tremolo pick along to this one...

Thanks, HBH. Cool find. I was 15 when I incurred the wrist injury. I ended up getting pretty good at it. I own some pretty weird surf albums as well, Glad to see I'm not the only surf fan. I have one by these guys

There is a little comic strip inside about a young rock fan wanting to look like a hippie. The day is saved however when it's pointed out that you can look like the Challengers and still rock out.. Truly bizarre.

Astrud Gilberto - dammi un'idea (summer samba) 1967 (in an effort to ween the Weejun out of self-imposed exile)

What's up with the site, Weejun? I'm hoping it's only temporarily down.
The Weejun is fine. He's chilling offline in great style just now.
He did a lot very quickly and is now just pausing to regroup & balance his day job with his passion for Ivy. After being so full-on for a spell he just needs to do some other stuff for a bit to catch up with life.
Sensible chap.
Some more Monks, for Andrew:

The Monks - Oh, How to Do Now
Did you see the documentary about these guys? They were American GIs, and they had a very amitious management, Karl Remy and Walther Niemann, art/design students who were influenced by minimalism, and they turned these guys, formerly known as the 5 Torquays into "the Monks"- a new sound, a new look, and a new image... kind of anti-Beatles....

They almost made the soundtrack to this "afri-cola" tv spot, but the producer chose this avant garde music instead:
