RECALLING THE DAY - February 19, 1976
WHO: The Kinks @thekinksofficial
WHERE: Houston Music Hall @houstonmusichall
WHY: "Schoolboys In Disgrace US Tour 1976"
.
I had discovered The Kinks when I was about 12 or 13 years old, when I saw the band perform "Celluloid Heroes" on "Midnight Special" or one late night weekend music show. I ran out and bought "Everybody's In Show-biz," and I fell in love with The Kinks.
.
I bought a lot of their older albums and each new one as they were released. "Schoolboys In Disgrace" was released in '75, and the band was scheduled to play Houston in January '76. It was rescheduled for the next month, but I couldn't wait to see my beloved Kinks for the first time.
.
They played all of "Schoolboys..." plus all their big hits: "Lola," "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," and "Celluloid Heroes," of course.
.
I was an usher at the Music Hall. I just had to throw on a suit coat and tie and show folks their seats and I got to see the concert(s) -- all free! Since I knew most of the house staff I could stick around after the shows, once the crowd had left.
.
I had to go onto the stage to get to the back door to exit. As I was walking across the stage Ray Davies walks out of his dressing room and said, "Hi, how are you?"
.
I couldn't speak. Here was one of my musical idols, talking to me, and I didn't know what to say. Ray sensed I was a bit star struck and asked, "Did you enjoy the show?" I had to say something. "I loved it," I responded. "Oh, great. I'm glad you loved it," he said smiling.
.
A sense of exhilaration suddenly came over 15-year-old me and I blurted out, "Can I give you a hug?" Without pausing or skipping a beat, Ray said, "Of course." He wrapped his arms around me and gave me one of those big brother 'I got your back' hug. Ray released me only when I said, "Thanks, that meant a lot to me."
.
The ice had been broken. We spent about another 10 minutes talking like new pals. I'll never forget Ray's kindness and the brilliance of The Kinks live!
"You've got this strange effect on me,
And I like it
You make my world seem right,
You make my darkness bright,
You've got this strange effect on me"

#RayDavies enters The Songwriters Hall of Fame
R.E.M. Guitarist Peter Buck Pays Tribute to #theKinks , as Part of Rolling Stone's List of the 100 Greatest Artists
Although both Ray and his brother Dave Davies wrote hits for the Kinks, Ray was responsible for all the group's U.S. Top 10 singles: "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Tired of Waiting for You," "Lola" and "Come Dancing." Herman's Hermits' cover of the Kinks' "Dandy" reached Number Five in the U.S., and Kinks covers by Van Halen, the Pretenders, the Jam and the Fall charted in the Top 40 in the States and the U.K.

#NowPlaying The Kinks - "Something Else" (1967 @repriserecs / 1980s Repress)
Boy oh boy what an ingenious fucking record. I remember seeing some talking head in a 90s retrospective refer to Kurt Cobain as the closest thing that Generation X got to a John Lennon. First... No. Second, Generation X got luckier anyway with not one but TWO Ray Davies-es, between @damonalbarn and @jarvisbransoncocker. "Two Sisters" might not have originated the British kitchen-sink drama as pop song, but it has to be one of the greatest examples from this era. By this era, I mean the 20th damn century. Also, that harpsichord is just (kissing fingertips) MWAH. Also, I picked up this cool-looking book about The Kinks by Carey Fleiner (2017, @rowmanandlittlefield) from the @utknoxville music library because I don't half-ass anything when I'm on a kick. //
Top Tracks (that aren't "Waterloo Sunset" because it's almost too good to be classified merely as a 'track')
1. "Tin Soldier Man"
2. "Two Sisters"
3. "Die-vid Whots" (wish I could BEEEEEE like)

Like the Stones, Them, and the Animals, the Kinks played a lot of blues music in their early years. Unlike those other bands, their blues sounded much less authentic than those of the other bands. However, their unique approach, intended or not, did bring something entirely new to mainstream rock & roll. Their thin-sounding guitars, their frenetic riffing, and the nasal, too-British vocal delivery, brought a frenetic intensity to the music that pointed the way toward all kinds of hard-edged music to come. This album may not be the best in terms of quality of songwriting or production value, but it has a savagery that can at time be irresistible, particularly on the monstrous hard rocker "You Really Got Me."

It’s been a long week. Not bad, just long, and the weekend hasn’t worked out as expected. I’m finally getting to spend some time with the turntable, and the pure pop of one of the best bands ever is making me smile. I don’t listen to this one as much as I should.
Thanks for posting not too long ago @simpele_fons ...reminded me to give it a listen.

Happy Birthday to my favorite drummer, Mick Avory of @thekinksofficial His own unique style of drumming, his amazing tone and pocket beats really hit you to the core. Although there’s many great drummers out there, I’ve never heard a drummer as Solid. He’s a drummer who plays for what the music requires. Never got to fancy when it didn’t fit but what makes him really amazing is that when he gets a chance, he throws in these drum parts that just blows you away. Every song he’s played on with The Kinks, you can find something really special about each drum part. This man is a musical genius, I sure know how special his drumming truly is. I started playing the drums when I was six. I’m all self taught. Did everything on my own BUT I can’t really say that because I consider Mick Avory my drum teacher. For years I would play to every Kinks record. Spend hours learning all of Mick’s parts. He made me a solid “in the pocket” drummer and I’m happy I learned from the best. I might have never been a drummer if it wasn’t for him.....or at least a good one lol His skills and talent are stamped on those Kinks records and if you go to any song, the heart beat and power of his drums ignite your soul AND then you got the whole rest of The Kinks around him and that’s a whole other story......lol #mickavory#drummer#drums#legend#thekinks#raydavies#davedavies#petequaife#jimrodford#johndalton#music#1960s#1970s#1980s
#UnDíaComoHoy en 1944 nace #MickAvory , baterista de la banda #TheKinks , desde 1964 hasta 1984. Junto a los hermanos Davies, él es el miembro más antiguo de la banda. Se dice que en 1962, antes de entrar a #TheKinks , participó brevemente con #TheRollingStones cuando estos se presentaron por primera vez en el Marquee Club de Londres. Al poco tiempo sería reemplazado por #CharlieWatts . Al ingresar en #TheKinks , se destacó por ser uno de los músicos más tranquilos y accesibles, siendo uno de los mejores amigos de #RayDavies . La relación laboral no sería tan fructífera con el hermano menor de Ray, el guitarrista #DaveDavies . Las diferencias con el más joven de los Davies llegarían al punto más alto cuando Avory decide renunciar a la banda.

#NowPlaying The Kinks - "Arthur, or the decline and fall of the British Empire" (1969, @repriserecs / Undated repress, but a good'un)
Has anybody heard that new Kinks material? Any good? Curiosity is gonna get me sooner or later. I have no idea why I caught the bug to listen to this tonight... probably because it's very, very good? Also, Arthur's life story and reflections of a person out of time in a country that's dwindling to nothing seems ODDLY FAMILIAR FOR SOME REASON. This is like "Lucky Jim" as a concept album, a perfect skewering of a tiny island culture hungover on an empire, beyond the end of its rope, but still climbing like Wile E. Coyote. The TV series this was apparently supposed to soundtrack would have been SO GOOD if they'd made it. The layers of Ray Davies' genius at this point (or any point in the Kinks' untouchable 1966-1970 tear) seriously mess me up sometimes. Like, how did they will all this into reality? Fuuuuck. And this isn't even my favorite album from that span (props to "Something Else.") The packaging of this thing is delightful and sad at the same time. The lyric sheet that looks like a Terry Gilliam illustration of Queen Vic cradling Arthur/Shangri-La in her hands. The massive Kangaroo gatefold that reminds you of that lengthy song at the end of side one about how Arthur's kids split for the other side of the globe without a second thought (like so many disenchanted Brits did after the war). Yup.
///
Top songs:
1. VICTOOOOOOOORIA! VICTOOOOOORIA! Victoria! (It's "Victoria")
2. "Nothing to Say"
3. "Shangri-La" (hey is that where @shangrilarecords got it's name? Probably)

A conversation about trains and India this weekend got me thinking about my favorite Wes Anderson movie, 'The Darjeeling Limited'. And though I could make a post about that soundtrack, and eventually will, I really wanted to write about an album I discovered from of its use in the soundtrack- the Kinks' improbably-titled masterpiece, "Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One".
✈️
Everyone who has ever turned on the classic rock radio station knows about rock and roll's favorite cross-dresser, Lola. But until I watched the Darjeeling Limited, I didn't know what all the rest of that title was about. And what I found was a whole album's worth of the Kinks' (especially main songwriter Ray Davies') incredible talent for making literally anything relatable. Have I ever been a professional musician? Never. Not even close. But this album makes me feel like I have a stake in the narrator's struggles against record executives (Powerman) and the music industry (The Moneygoround). That's a world that I'm not and will never be a part of, but the Kinks and their brand of theatrical, Americana-influenced rock and roll made me feel like I was, if only for the time to took to listen to this album.
✈️
Before I started writing this post, I had no idea this album was hard to find, or how lucky I was to find a copy. And I just don't understand why it hasn't been reissued! You'd think they would prioritize the album that lots of people think is their best work. But no, instead there's a $40 reissue of 'Phobia' rotting in the bins at the store where I work. @rhino_records, can you get someone on this?
✈️
Note: I feel like this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't tell you about the one moment on this album that made me WILDLY uncomfortable. There's a song with lyrics about how western civilization sucks and the narrator wants to escape and live a simpler life. I'm with him on THAT, but the problem is the song is set to stereotypical "island"/calypso-type music... and it's called "Apeman". YIKES. Apparently it was a Top 10 hit in the U.K. Colonialism, I guess...
✈️✈️✈️

David Bowie : David Bowie (deram, 1967 re 2010)
🎼⚡️🛫
> By 1967, #DavidBowie had already fronted a band, appeared in television commercials, and made a bit of a name for himself in underground circles. On his first record rock and roll barely appears, instead #Bowie comes off as a kind of all-purpose entertainer, serving quaint little story-songs. You can hear the influence of #JacquesBrel , and the more eccentric music-hall moments of #RayDavies or #PaulMcCartney . Hints of #Bowie 's later brilliance pop up around the edges, but it's fun to hear Bowie operating entirely in the realm of the absurd. "We Are Hungry Men" has a few choice lines about "mass abortion" and "infanticide" as solutions to over-population, also marking the first appearance of Bowie's messianic obsession (all of #ZiggyStardust ). Even at an early stage there was depth behind the slightest material.

“Because you know what they say
Every dog has his day
He lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down he puts some rock 'n' roll on
And it makes him feel alright
And when he feels the world is closing in
He turns his stereo way up high” #RayDavies#TheKinks

The world has always been wrong about #TheKinks Don’t ya know it. God save #TheKinks ❤️God save the Village Green 💚 #RayDavies
Here's one of the first records I ever bought for myself when I first got a turntable of my own. I would brag about my impeccable tastes as a lad, but I was also into plenty of crap at the time, so let's just say I was warming up to my current impeccable tastes, right? Obviously, the Kinks were on a hell of a run at the time this came out, so this is an extremely solid set of tunes, even by "greatest hits" standards. I do think that their early songs sound extra amazing in mono on a well-loved piece of vinyl... and that's not just my own nostalgia for this particular record talking. #beatuprecords#thekinks#raydavies#davedavies#repriserecords
February 13, 1978 The last recording sessions are completed for #TheKinks Misfits album. Veteran session drummer Clem Cattini who played on many tracks on the Kinks album Kink Kontroversy in 1965 is used to perform percussion overdubs on a few tracks. Recording for this album has taken 5 months, on and off; now #RayDavies settles begin mixing the tracks at Konk studios. The album will finally be released in mid-May.

Dead end street greatest hits compilation with a bonus 10inch featuring 6 unreleased songs. Released in 1983 but soon taken off sale due to the Kinks themselves not being happy with the unreleased tracks being included. A few months later the 10 inch was changed to include 6 mod anthems instead. Good quality vinyl this one and hard to get hold of with the 10 inch intact. #kinks #deadendstreet #raydavies #davedavies #mickavory #peterquaife #vinyl #vinylspinningnow #vinylpost #vinylporn #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcollector #sixties

It’s been a long week. Not bad, just long, and the weekend hasn’t worked out as expected. I’m finally getting to spend some time with the turntable, and the pure pop of one of the best bands ever is making me smile. I don’t listen to this one as much as I should. Thanks for posting not too long ago @simpele_fons ...reminded me to give it a listen. #thekinks #facetoface #repriserecords 1966 #raydavies #davedavies #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable

The lyrics for 'Apeman' describe air pollution as 'a-fogging up my eyes' which sounded too much like...a certain expletive. So Ray Davies had to re-record the lyric to make it clearer 😂 Apeman is included in next week's charts, 1971! #songsthroughtime #thekinks #raydavies #davedavies #1971 #music #history #blog #linkinbio #staytuned

Happy Birthday to my favorite drummer, Mick Avory of @thekinksofficial His own unique style of drumming, his amazing tone and pocket beats really hit you to the core. Although there’s many great drummers out there, I’ve never heard a drummer as Solid. He’s a drummer who plays for what the music requires. Never got to fancy when it didn’t fit but what makes him really amazing is that when he gets a chance, he throws in these drum parts that just blows you away. Every song he’s played on with The Kinks, you can find something really special about each drum part. This man is a musical genius, I sure know how special his drumming truly is. I started playing the drums when I was six. I’m all self taught. Did everything on my own BUT I can’t really say that because I consider Mick Avory my drum teacher. For years I would play to every Kinks record. Spend hours learning all of Mick’s parts. He made me a solid “in the pocket” drummer and I’m happy I learned from the best. I might have never been a drummer if it wasn’t for him.....or at least a good one lol His skills and talent are stamped on those Kinks records and if you go to any song, the heart beat and power of his drums ignite your soul AND then you got the whole rest of The Kinks around him and that’s a whole other story......lol #mickavory #drummer #drums #legend #thekinks #raydavies #davedavies #petequaife #jimrodford #johndalton #music #1960s #1970s #1980s

Today’s groovy drummers birthday celebrates original Kink Mick Avory. #thekinks #kinks #drums #drummers #drumming #raydavies #60s #60smusic #britishinvasion
#UnDíaComoHoy en 1944 nace #MickAvory , baterista de la banda #TheKinks , desde 1964 hasta 1984. Junto a los hermanos Davies, él es el miembro más antiguo de la banda. Se dice que en 1962, antes de entrar a #TheKinks , participó brevemente con #TheRollingStones cuando estos se presentaron por primera vez en el Marquee Club de Londres. Al poco tiempo sería reemplazado por #CharlieWatts . Al ingresar en #TheKinks , se destacó por ser uno de los músicos más tranquilos y accesibles, siendo uno de los mejores amigos de #RayDavies . La relación laboral no sería tan fructífera con el hermano menor de Ray, el guitarrista #DaveDavies . Las diferencias con el más joven de los Davies llegarían al punto más alto cuando Avory decide renunciar a la banda.
Happy Birthday to the very best drummer, Mick Avory ❤️🥁 #raydavies #mickavory #thekinks #davedavies #petequaife
"Put on your slippers and sit by the fire 🔥 // you've reached your top and you just can't get any higher" #NowPlaying The Kinks - "Arthur, or the decline and fall of the British Empire" (1969, @repriserecs / Undated repress, but a good'un) Has anybody heard that new Kinks material? Any good? Curiosity is gonna get me sooner or later. I have no idea why I caught the bug to listen to this tonight... probably because it's very, very good? Also, Arthur's life story and reflections of a person out of time in a country that's dwindling to nothing seems ODDLY FAMILIAR FOR SOME REASON. This is like "Lucky Jim" as a concept album, a perfect skewering of a tiny island culture hungover on an empire, beyond the end of its rope, but still climbing like Wile E. Coyote. The TV series this was apparently supposed to soundtrack would have been SO GOOD if they'd made it. The layers of Ray Davies' genius at this point (or any point in the Kinks' untouchable 1966-1970 tear) seriously mess me up sometimes. Like, how did they will all this into reality? Fuuuuck. And this isn't even my favorite album from that span (props to "Something Else.") The packaging of this thing is delightful and sad at the same time. The lyric sheet that looks like a Terry Gilliam illustration of Queen Vic cradling Arthur/Shangri-La in her hands. The massive Kangaroo gatefold that reminds you of that lengthy song at the end of side one about how Arthur's kids split for the other side of the globe without a second thought (like so many disenchanted Brits did after the war). Yup. /// Top songs: 1. VICTOOOOOOOORIA! VICTOOOOOORIA! Victoria! (It's "Victoria") 2. "Nothing to Say" 3. "Shangri-La" (hey is that where @shangrilarecords got it's name? Probably) /// #thekinks #raydavies #britishmusic #arthur #thedeclineandfallofthebritishempire #victoria #britishinvasion #sortof #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyl #1969 #conceptalbum #australia #kinks #recordcollecting #nowspinning #33rpm #gatefold #kangaroo #queenvictoria #vinyljunkies @my__record__collection

A conversation about trains and India this weekend got me thinking about my favorite Wes Anderson movie, 'The Darjeeling Limited'. And though I could make a post about that soundtrack, and eventually will, I really wanted to write about an album I discovered from of its use in the soundtrack- the Kinks' improbably-titled masterpiece, "Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One". ✈️ Everyone who has ever turned on the classic rock radio station knows about rock and roll's favorite cross-dresser, Lola. But until I watched the Darjeeling Limited, I didn't know what all the rest of that title was about. And what I found was a whole album's worth of the Kinks' (especially main songwriter Ray Davies') incredible talent for making literally anything relatable. Have I ever been a professional musician? Never. Not even close. But this album makes me feel like I have a stake in the narrator's struggles against record executives (Powerman) and the music industry (The Moneygoround). That's a world that I'm not and will never be a part of, but the Kinks and their brand of theatrical, Americana-influenced rock and roll made me feel like I was, if only for the time to took to listen to this album. ✈️ Before I started writing this post, I had no idea this album was hard to find, or how lucky I was to find a copy. And I just don't understand why it hasn't been reissued! You'd think they would prioritize the album that lots of people think is their best work. But no, instead there's a $40 reissue of 'Phobia' rotting in the bins at the store where I work. @rhino_records, can you get someone on this? ✈️ Note: I feel like this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't tell you about the one moment on this album that made me WILDLY uncomfortable. There's a song with lyrics about how western civilization sucks and the narrator wants to escape and live a simpler life. I'm with him on THAT, but the problem is the song is set to stereotypical "island"/calypso-type music... and it's called "Apeman". YIKES. Apparently it was a Top 10 hit in the U.K. Colonialism, I guess... ✈️✈️✈️ #thekinks #lolaversuspowerman #raydavies #davedavies #lolaversuspowermanandthemoneygoround

Kirsty MacColl - Kite One of my favourite albums. Songs of substance and purpose, with guitar contributions by Johnny Marr, and features the melancholy of the absolutely beautiful Days, written by maestro Ray Davies. I have never been able to listen to this album without thinking of her selfless act of saving her son and paying the ultimate price. A multi-instrumentalist, Kirsty plays lap steel, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, percussion, and of course gives us her crystalline pure pop voice. Also a guest appearance by David Gilmour and some stellar drumming by Simple Minds’ Mel Gaynor. A great album. Virgin, 1989. #kirstymaccoll #kite #days #johnnymarr #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinyladdict #vinylcommunity #dewaudiostarmap #stereoisking #recordsarecool #spintheblackcircle #analoguerules #analogueseduction #cratedigging #33rpm #linnsondek #ortofon #lp12 #raydavies #musicislife #pop #rock #folkrock #beautifulvoice #linnekos #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #vinylcollection
David Bowie : David Bowie (deram, 1967 re 2010) 🎼⚡️🛫 > By 1967, #DavidBowie had already fronted a band, appeared in television commercials, and made a bit of a name for himself in underground circles. On his first record rock and roll barely appears, instead #Bowie comes off as a kind of all-purpose entertainer, serving quaint little story-songs. You can hear the influence of #JacquesBrel , and the more eccentric music-hall moments of #RayDavies or #PaulMcCartney . Hints of #Bowie 's later brilliance pop up around the edges, but it's fun to hear Bowie operating entirely in the realm of the absurd. "We Are Hungry Men" has a few choice lines about "mass abortion" and "infanticide" as solutions to over-population, also marking the first appearance of Bowie's messianic obsession (all of #ZiggyStardust ). Even at an early stage there was depth behind the slightest material. . . . . . #Vinyl #GaydarVinyl #RecordCollection #VinylIGClub #VinylCollection #CrateDiggers #Analog #Starman #DavidRobertJones #glam #mod

Here's one of the first records I ever bought for myself when I first got a turntable of my own. I would brag about my impeccable tastes as a lad, but I was also into plenty of crap at the time, so let's just say I was warming up to my current impeccable tastes, right? Obviously, the Kinks were on a hell of a run at the time this came out, so this is an extremely solid set of tunes, even by "greatest hits" standards. I do think that their early songs sound extra amazing in mono on a well-loved piece of vinyl... and that's not just my own nostalgia for this particular record talking. #beatuprecords #thekinks #raydavies #davedavies #repriserecords

February 13, 1978 The last recording sessions are completed for #TheKinks Misfits album. Veteran session drummer Clem Cattini who played on many tracks on the Kinks album Kink Kontroversy in 1965 is used to perform percussion overdubs on a few tracks. Recording for this album has taken 5 months, on and off; now #RayDavies settles begin mixing the tracks at Konk studios. The album will finally be released in mid-May. Thanks to D. Hinman for facts above
There’s nothing about this #album that isnt perfect. The #music is some of the best ever, the #kissband version of band name, as seen on tv. It’s all so good. As a bonus the album, though stuffed with 20 #songs still sounds great. Also what is it with #waterloosunset always getting shoved on to the end of a side? It should be at the beginning so it has the real estate to realize it’s greatness.

The Kinks - “Something Else By The Kinks” (1968). The Kinks’ fifth studio album was released outside the US in September 1967 and was the last album involving American producer Shel Talmy in the band’s 1960s recordings. Part of this album and subsequent albums by the band were produced by Ray Davies. At this point in time, The Kinks were still banned from live concerts and TV performances in the US after some issues with earlier US shows. “Something Else” sold poorly in the US when it was released in January 1968, and because the only US mono versions were promo copies, these are difficult to find. This copy has seen better days, but I picked it up in Portland several years ago for a few dollars and will keep it as a play copy until I find a nice UK mono original. ———————————————————————— #handpickedrecordoftheday #recordoftheday #thekinks #somethingelse #sheltalmy #raydavies #davedavies #promo #wlp #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinyllover #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #records #recordcollector #recordcollection #recordlover #vinyloftheday #onmyturntable #cratedigger #nowplaying #vinylgram #vinylcollection_feature #vinylcollectionpost
