haha amazing.

there are a few quite well known ones that i've never seen like the Randy Newman 'his voice is really something once you get used to it' one and the blondie 'wouldn't you like to Rip Her To Shreds?' one. also unconfirmed but apparantly exist; eccho and the bunnymen's one for Ocean Rain with their own(?) quote on it saying 'the best album of all time'.

Not American, nor were they teenagers.

wow, weird.

Still, a new idea though. Give them points for that one.

Who could forget 1975, the year of Fogelberg?

Going for a select audience there: People with the same name as the artist...

'Is Your Name Leonard Cohen?'

From time to time you get the feeling that you want to disengage yourself from your life. Because you're no different from anyone else. And because your life is filled with the same love and the same hate and the same beauty and the same ugliness as everyone else's.

You want to withdraw into some kind of solitary contemplation -- a locked room or a quiet corner of your mind just to think about everything for a while. You. Her. It. That. Them.

If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.

And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.

And this is your second album of--for want of a better word--songs.

And these are your songs from a room.
On Columbia Records

That Frankie ad is fucking great! I love Billy Corgan's, too, the text reads like he is running for county commissioner.

So glad the Cohen album is not called "Songs--for want of a better word--from a room."

feel like there could probably be a great mad men-style show about PR departments at record labels in the late 1960s.

tyler be aware that at this moment there are network execs haranguing their drones to "get me the next mad men" and the one that gets it will be a period piece from a different era with readily i.d'able costume/prop scenarios

what I'm saying is given that there could be subplots involving rock stars (more of that costume/character stuff people go nuts for) you should probably draft a pitch and get it to somebody

I remember a line from Julian Cope's autobiography where he says something like:

"People naturally assume Record Label people have some sort of respect for the artists on their label. This is hardly ever true"

I think tyler's series should end in 1975 - the year of Fogelberg.

do you guys think "All Roads Lead To Fogelberg" is a good title y/n

Dylan Boyz II Fogel Men

Found this when looking for something else:

aw, those lil beegees, so cute

tyler, aerosmith otm, that could be a great show

already have my opening line for the pitch: "'Mad Men' on acid -- literally!!"

WOW at that 'but the man can't bust our music' ad

as soon as I get out of this jail, I'm going to go back home and finish listening to my Terry Riley, Walter Carlos, Varese & Stockhausen albums and I think I'll also pick up those two new recordings of music by Charles Ives

(that is still the best recording of the Concord Sonata btw and it is still out of print)

Wish I could find the audio for that old radio spot for the third Velvet Underground album read by WNEW-FM DJ Rosko, the text of which fits the aesthetic of this thread.

I've got that file--one for White Light/White Heat, too. I'll see if I can upload them to my site.

Actually worked:

White Light/White Heat
3rd

Cool thanks.

Wow..."The Velvet Underground...this is you." So Christine O'Donnell's biting from them as well as Antoine Dodson!

If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.

And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.

"Yet if your name is Mort Cohen, they don't call you a poet.
You're just an ad copy man to them. Sure, you bring home a nice check,
have a few whiskey sours on the company account after work,
fly to Los Angeles for client meetings every now and then,
but does anyone recognize your talent?
They don't care that you got the Midol account
The West Village girls aren't interested in how many Band-Aids your last campaign sold.
And they don't care that you wrote this ad
for a bunch of songs
by some jerkoff named Leonard."

Nugent on Fender

"That's enough to give my audiences a preview of World War III"

Now he's just on the board of the NRA.

That Velvets "3rd" one is blowing my mind. "That's because you don't have the new Velvet Underground"

Ah, that's off that 'promo' single.

I didn't know about the one for the 2nd album.

That first one for "Black and Blue" gets talked about for a very long time in Pop Music and Morality, the pretty hilarious Mormon-penned book about why most rock is bad. The author made it out to be like the Hustler cover with the hamburger grinder of the music world.
