Bedazzled!

Beach Boys Bootlegs

An amazing selection of Beach Boys material that is not commercially available (concerts, sessions, outtakes, alternate mixes, etc.) can be found at http://bootlegz.blogspot.com

The Rapidshare downloads are kind of a pain (ftp accounts can be had for about $5 for 10 gigs, think about it bloggers), but there's alotta great stuff up there. Check it out BB's fans.

Yep...it's that horrible Virginia Graham making a fool of herself in a minidress... She didn't even need to speak to insult the youth of the day. UPDATE: My mom (and other commenters) says it's Ann Miller. That Mike Douglas had great taste in co-hosts, huh?

Video: The Troggs "Hip Hip Hooray"

Though not necessarily considered a Bubblegum band, they certainly pre-dated Bubblegum, but that said, this couldn't sound more like a Kasenetz/Katz garage-y bubblegum type group.

Video: The Cowsills on "The Ed Sullivan Show"

"The Rain, the Park & Other Things" & Medley ("Monday, Monday,", "Sweet Taking Guy," "Lonesome Me," "Please Mr. Postman" & "Reach Out"). I love how they don't really get the vocal mics going till halfway through the first song. This is The Cowsills people! Turn on a freaking mic or two.
