MONALISA TWINS
"NOW AND THEN"
Mastodon Post

Now And Then - MonaLisa Twins (The Beatles Cover)
MonaLisa Twins

youtube.com/watch?v=Oolqq932Qv

This great Beatles cover currently is neither available at Bandcamp nor at Amazon.com. So, enjoy it here at YouTube. The MonaLisa Twins are true Beatlemaniacs.

I first learned of the MonaLisa Twins and I first learned of this video, "Now and Then," from my college roommate, Gary Olsen.

Posted under Hashtag MonaLisaTwins because these two also do original music.

Lyrics:

So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
And when you just can't get any higher
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber
And the small fame that you've acquired
Has brought you into cult status
But to me you're still a collector

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
It's just a face on your pillowcase
That thrills you

And you started looking much older
And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
But to you in your little dream world
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors

As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire
You can't cook or sew
You get from day to day by filling your head
But surely you must know the appeal between your legs
Has worn off

And I don't care about morals
'Cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
And I don't feel any sorrow
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
It's just a face on your pillowcase
That thrills you

As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire
You can't cook or sew
You get from day to day by filling your head
But surely you must know the appeal between your legs
Has worn off

And I don't feel any sorrow
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

ROD ARGENT UPDATE
Mastodon Post

The main updates on Rod Argent of The Zombies and the band, Argent, so far, are mostly coming from social media. They agree that Argent has decided to retire from touring. It is my hope more extensive reporting will follow. This seems to be all we have at the moment.

The Zombies has been one of my favorite rock bands since "She's Not There." I compile various artists music collections; and the one I am working on right now ends with The Zombies' "You've Really Got a Hold On Me," which is actually a medley with Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home to Me."

Rod Argent's "Time of the Season," by The Zombies, has long been a favorite on paranormal radio. Can't talk much about The Zombies without naming the masterpiece, "Summertime."

The Zombies is one of my all-time favorite rock bands. Much as I love all the members, with special regard to Colin Blunstone, there would be no Zombies without Rod Argent. Get well, buddy!

Thought of one for @Kitty's #TuneTuesday theme this week, #SongBaton - one song that goes into another.

These are next to each other on the album. When radio plays them, they ALWAYS play them both, they go together so well.

Zep - Heartbreaker into Living Loving Maid. Vinyl pops, crackles and all! The TOO HOT version with too much bass!

THE MONALISA TWINS
"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH"

For What It's Worth
from MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more by MonaLisa Twins

monalisatwins.bandcamp.com/tra

My music collection includes several versions - usually faithful covers - of Buffalo Springfield's classic "For What It's Worth." This performance by the MonaLisa Twins is my favorite of them. The Twins are REALLY good at what they do.

THE DAVE CLARK FIVE
"COME HOME"

The Dave Clark Five - Come Home
mickey castle

youtube.com/watch?v=ydfnC7kt1e

I recall really liking "Come Home" when it was new. There is no telling, either way, how well remembered it is today.

Garage rock legend Nancy Neon once wrote a highly flattering review of a late Mike Smith concert. I think she got it right. Smith was the group's lead singer and keyboard player.

HELP! SOUNDTRACK
"THE BITTER END / YOU CAN'T DO THAT"

The Bitter End - You Can't Do That by 「Help!」
ybtbx930

youtube.com/watch?v=PDvPA9tSgx

Most Beatles reissues have been UK versions. So, it seems possible that a lot of music fans may not have heard of this track from the United States "Help!" release. The US version had a few instrumentals. "The Bitter End - You Can't Do That" is the only one that, to me, seems especially interesting.
