The Beatles "Feel Fine" eating fish n chips

How cool is this band? I could see a band like Sonic Youth  The Year Punk Broke-era doing something like this, but a band in 1964? Enjoy watching George eat off of the floor.

Accidents on Live TV

I love YouTube! I know most of you do. Even before YouTube I used to search the internet for funny and weird clips. As teenagers, my friends Beau and Joe and I used to smoke and spend hours, whole weekends, on Ebaumsworld and other sites looking for the funniest, craziest videos. When YouTube came along it was taken to the next level. It never ends. With millions of videos, its impossible to see them all, but I wanted to post a few of my favorite TV accidents. Nothing better than being on live TV and making a fool of yourself. Here are a few that I thought were funny.







I'm sure you know this one...





And finally a good compilation

Dewey Martin, Buffalo Springfield drummer, dead at 68



FROM NME:

Buffalo Springfield drummer Dewey Martin has died aged 68.

Martin, real name Walter Milton Dwayne Midkiff, is believed to have died of natural causes.

The star was found by a room mate in his Los Angeles apartment on Sunday (February 1), reports the LA Times. It is thought he died the previous night (January 31).

Martin's Buffalo Springfield bandmates - Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richey Furay and Jim Messina - have yet to comment.

One of the founder members of Buffalo Springfield, Martin joined the band while they were in their embryonic stages after he moved to Los Angeles in the mid-'60s. In his biography 'Shakey', praised Martin as a "sensitive" drummer.

"You get harder, he hits harder," wrote Young. "You pull back, he hits back. He can feel the music - you don't have to tell him."

Martin played on most tracks featured on the band's three albums, including 'Mr Soul' and 'Rock 'N' Roll Woman'. He sang lead vocals on 'Good Time Boy' from their 1967 album 'Buffalo Springfield Again'.

The drummer also alleged that he supplied Stephen Stills with the LSD that inspired him to write the group's biggest hit, 'For What It's Worth'.

After Buffalo Springfield split, Martin attempted to start another band under the name The New Buffalo Springfield. However, after Young and Stills took legal action against the name, he dropped the moniker.

In the '80s Martin toured as Buffalo Springfield Revisited with original bass player Bruce Palmer.

Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz paid tribute to Martin, saying, "It's a great loss. We never worked together, we just hung out a lot. We went to shows together at the Whisky (a Go Go) and the Troubadour. He was a great drummer - it's a well known fact. And he was a really nice guy."

Buffalo Springfield were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1997.


Here's a cool Live version of "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing", live at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967



And the NEW Buffalo Springfield from the 80's

Elliott Smith "Suicide Machine" - Last Vocals Ever Recorded

I can't believe it, but a new song has finally surfaced from Elliott Smith. It just so happens that it contains the finished lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Tiny Time Machine".

"Suicide Machine", as it is now known, was supposedly finished up just two days before Elliott Smith took his own life on October 21, 2003. For about 7 or 8 years now, I have been listening to the instrumental version always wishing I could hear Elliott singing over it. 

Well, just 2 days ago, somebody uploaded it for everyone to hear. The original source was unnamed because supposedly there is more unreleased music that they are trying to get and didn't want the source to know that it was being spread around (?!?!!?!?). I have a feeling this track will be everywhere very soon, so lets hope this "source" doesn't know how to use a computer.

I wish there was a more polished vocal and better mix, but we'll take what we can get. Hopefully Elliott is up in Heaven perfecting it while George Harrison plays the lead guitar.


Also, I thought I'd post the original instrumental version, "Tiny Time Machine", that I found on YouTube so that you can hear all of the cool melodies and chord changes underneath.
