#Knickerbocker-Bande

Text
Letztens (um 2 Uhr nachts) wurde mir ein TikTok Video von Thomas Brezina eingespielt und da ich als Kind seine Bücher gerne gelesen habe, hab ich nicht gleich weiter gescrollt.
In dem Video erzählt er, wie er in London seinen Mann kennengelernt hat und interessiert hab ich mich dann auf seinen Kanal begeben, da ich scheinbar sehr viel aus seinem Leben (und sehr viele Bücher) verpasst habe. Und siehe da: es gibt eine Fortsetzung der Knickerbocker-Bande. Und zwar hat er nicht einfach nur weitere Kinderkrimis geschrieben, sondern einen Zeitsprung eingeführt. Die vier sind nun alle um die 30(?) und haben sich nach einem Unfall von Lilo`s Vater zerstritten und danach nie mehr miteinander gesprochen. Jahre später werden sie von einer mysteriösen Person versammelt und sollen noch einen Fall lösen.
Meine Bücherei hatte es leider nicht, habe es mir also gebraucht geholt:
Bin noch nicht sehr weit, aber es hat einige Erinnerungen hochgeholt. Besonders die Ratekrimis hab ich früher verschlungen (obwohl ich das Tiger-Team etwas besser fand. Hatten auch den besseren Decoder). Der Schreib-Stil lässt sich super gut lesen und es ist ganz spannend, was aus allen geworden ist.
Und scheinbar wurde die Bande in ihrer ganzen Zeit von einer mysteriösen Organisation beobachtet. Allein der Fakt ist interessant genug, das ich das Buch lesen möchte.

Apparently a) Thomas Brezina came out as gay, which made me really happy, and b) he started writing adult adventures of the gang but they're not translated into Turkish and I can barely count to ten in German.

Today's compilation:
Baby Boomer Classics: Dance Sixties 1985/1988 R&B / Soul / Rock & Roll
Marking my return to my glorious music blog with a whole batch of feet-movin' classics from yesteryear. Here we have Dance Sixties, a dispatch from the California-based JCI label's Baby Boomer Classics series that gives us a brief glimpse into some old, uptempo gold.
But before we get right into it, there's a couple things that need addressing: firstly, there is more than one iteration of this comp that's floating around out there. The original one came out in 1985, and then a newer version surfaced a few years afterwards that replaced a couple tracks. And what I have here is a combination of both of those albums.
And second—and I don't know how on earth I keep running into such fundamental errors with releases like these—this album purports to be comprised of nothing but 60s dance hits, but that's not entirely true. For example, Ike & Tina Turner's Grammy-winning cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary" is not a 60s song. It was recorded and released in 1970. It's a terrifically infectious R&B number and all, but it really has no business being on this release.
Speaking of covers, though, this overall selection is pretty interesting, because a whole bunch of these songs were actually made more famous by other people. And in a couple of cases, those artists who made those songs more famous are on here, but the songs that they supply are different hits.
For instance, this album's excellently noisy closer, Cannibal & The Headhunters' #30 US hit, "Land of 1000 Dances"—which is actually a cover in and of itself of Chris Kenner's 1962 version—was made far more famous by Wilson Pickett. But Wilson Pickett's offering here is another one of his biggest hits, "In the Midnight Hour," which happens to kick off this whole Dance Sixties affair.
And the same goes for Aretha Franklin too. It would've been perfectly understandable for her cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" to be on here, as it's one of the single-most important entries in the American songbook, with both its soundtracking of the civil rights movement throughout the late 60s and its assertive reversal of traditional gender roles in its lyrics; but it's Otis' original that appears on here, while Aretha's also sublime "Think" is supplied as well.
And to the untrained ear, one might think that there's another Aretha song on here too: "Rescue Me," which was by the unfairly blackballed Fontella Bass, but has been assumed by many over the years to have been an Aretha song itself, so much so, that Aretha actually performed it in an ad for Pizza Hut back in the day as "Deliver Me" 😭.
How can you not get a kick out of this silly shit?!:
youtube
And another song that people often confuse for being by a different act is The Knickerbockers' "Lies," a mid-60s burner by a garage band from New Jersey that sounds an awful lot like The Beatles!
OK, a couple more things before I sign off here: it's ultimately hard for me to pick a favorite among all of these tunes, but I think it might have to be The Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man," which has the same name as a song by Bo Diddley that was also famously covered by The Yardbirds, but is actually a completely different composition. In truth, the star of the Spencer Davis Group was not Spencer Davis himself—the only real reason why they decided to go with that name in the first place seems to be because no one else in the band was keen on doing interviews and press junkets, and it was assumed that the group's namesake would naturally have to be the one to fulfill those duties 😅. Undoubtedly, the one who shone most brightly in this band was a teenaged Steve Winwood, who possessed a distinctly powerful voice and was a total monster on the Hammond organ too. And on "I'm a Man," which comes with a whole lot of different bits of percussive rhythms and howling backing vocals, Steve manages to energetically strut it all.
And for a tune that's a bit more obscure than a lot of the rest of these, there's one-hit wonder Pacific Gas & Electric's "Are You Ready," a psychedelic soul-rock groover that was criminally left off of the 1988 version of this comp. This tune, like Ike & Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," was also released as a single in 1970, but because it originated from PG&E's self-titled album from the year prior, I'm willing to not lodge a complaint about it. If you love a song with a good, extended guitar solo that uses a delayed echo in one of its channels, then boy, is this #14 US hit worth a listen for you! Really fantastic stuff.
Happy to be back with a high-quality crop of songs such as this. I don't know what the rest of this big series has in store, but if it's anything like this particular release, then I'm definitely looking forward to it. An album where I don't even get to fawn over a personal favorite like Jackie Wilson's "Higher & Higher" should give you a good indication of just how top-notch this whole thing really is. A very well-put-together compilation, even if not every song on it is actually from the decade that it claims to represent 😅.
Highlights:
Wilson Pickett - "In the Midnight Hour" Ike & Tina Turner - "Proud Mary" Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - "Devil With the Blue Dress On / Good Golly Miss Molly" Eddie Floyd - "Knock On Wood" Fontella Bass - "Rescue Me" Jackie Wilson - "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher" Rare Earth - "Get Ready" Spencer Davis Group - "I'm a Man" Knickerbockers - "Lies" Aretha Franklin - "Think" Otis Redding - "Respect" Pacific Gas & Electric - "Are You Ready" Archie Bell & The Drells - "Tighten Up" Cannibal & The Headhunters - "Land of 1000 Dances"

Lend me your ears, folks.
Why is everybody so concerned with how mainstream the musical tastes of others are? For some, having mainstream taste makes you “basic” and having an alternative taste makes you “unique” or “quirky.” For others, having mainstream taste makes you “normal” and having an alternative taste makes them believe that you’re trying too hard to be different.
WHY?
Why must it matter how many other people like what you listen to? The only thing that should matter is whether YOU like what you listen to. You want to listen to “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd on loop for an hour straight? Go ahead! (In fact, I highly recommend it.) You want to listen to a playlist of Miles Davis and other jazz classics? Go ahead! You want to listen to Taylor Swift? Go ahead! You want to listen to an obscure 90s grunge/hard rock band called The King’s Knickerbockers? Go ahead! You want to listen to Kid Rock? Don’t. Just kidding, go ahead (though I really wouldn’t recommend it)!
Point is, we’re all individuals with individual tastes, so how similar or how different we are is completely irrelevant.

PIGEON WIGS NEW MINI-ALBUM 'ROCK BY NUMBERS'
Cardiff’s PIGEON WIGS release their eagerly awaited mini-album ‘Rock By Numbers’.
An amorphous box of tricks that shape-shifts between psych, blues and indie rock with seamless time-warping chic, the quintet are also pleased to present one of its standout moments: “Iron Dynamite”.
The final track to be spotlighted from the record, “Iron Dynamite” is a whimsical, merry-go-round of 60s-indebted psychelia to rival the Electric Prunes, Strawberry Alarm Clock, or frankly anything to be heard on the seminal ‘Nuggets’ compilation.
Revolving around a guitar lick as slick as a new pair of winkle-pickers on Carnaby Street in 1967, the riff was conjured by the band’s Louis Jugessur as he tried to emulate the vintage grooves of the hit ‘Mama Told Me Not To Come’ by fellow Pontypridd legend Tom Jones. Instantly plugging-in to its psychedelic vibe, frontman Harry Franklin-Williams assembled a kaleidoscopic spiral of words at once in-tune with the track and just a little removed from reality... As Harry explains:“Iron Dynamite is probably my favourite song of the record lyrically, Louis wrote such a psychedelic riff and I wanted to build on that as much as I could. I made a Jenga tower out of 60s-inspired metaphors and muso-nerd references that still never fails to put a smile on my face. The verses are swirling psych with a portion of madness while the chorus is much more your classic 60s pop lyrics, simple and direct but with my trademark cynicism at the end, “it’s just another line”.”
“Iron Dynamite” arrives hot on the heels of recent singles including the Rolling Stones saluting “Radiation Blues” and the wormhole whirlwind that is “Hold Up!”; drawing attention from the likes of Louder Than War, The Independent, The Rodeo, and The Line of Best Fit, with the latter praising “[Pigeon Wigs are] now in full force in bringing their vision to life: a hybrid, retro/futuristic, psychedelic-shaded sound.”
These singles are just the tip of a knickerbocker glory of delights waiting to be scooped out of their first mini-album release ‘Rock By Numbers’ (out today, via Clwb Music). Recorded before Pigeon Wigs had played a single gig, the duo of Jugessur and Franklin-Williams wrote the mini-album over the course of just a few weeks. Making for an impressively accomplished debut release that spans alternative rock references from across the ages, the band say they just wanted to “arrive on the scene fully-formed, like a baby with a moustache or furniture not from IKEA”. The 11-track record was produced and mixed by the esteemed Tom Rees of fellow Cardiff band Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.
Speaking about the mini-album on the day of its release, the band’s axeman-in-chief Louis Jugessur expresses:
“It means a lot to release Rock By Numbers because it’s been in the pipeline for so long, we’ve had so many hurdles in the way but now it’s finally getting out there. I’m really proud of what we’ve written, it feels like one solid body of work where all the pieces fit together to paint a pretty lil picture”.
While frontman Harry Franklin-Williams adds:
“Through a series of funding delays, rescheduling meetings, and global catastrophe we have waded, to be coming out on the other side is akin to drinking fresh water after being lost in the desert or that moment you realise both nostrils are clear after an especially bad cold. This is only the beginning, you ain't seen nothing yet."
PIGEON WIGS - UK LIVE DATES
AUGUST
05/08/23 - Newport, Le Pub headline
17/08/23 - Green Man Festival
25/08/23 - Shambala Festival
Newly sprung from the fertile soil of Cardiff’s blossoming music scene, Pigeon Wigs are a five-piece alt-rock band whose riff-laden fuzzy tones and melodic harmonies come crashing together to form a wild beast like no other. Tackling everything from social commentary to dysfunctional relationships and alien abductions, the band was born out of a writing partnership between Harry Franklin-Williams and Louis Jugessur and came to life when the pair “corralled some of Cardiff’s finest to record a new project”.
Having already attracted glowing praise from the likes of BBC Introducing and BBC Radio Wales, Pigeon Wigs have gained glowing reviews from a range of alt-rock contemporaries such as Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard and Panic Shack who enthused: “all of Jagger’s love-children couldn’t write a better banger than this.”
