MP3s: "Hey Grandma": Moby Grape vs. The Move

The Move have to be the greatest cover band ever (besides being one of the best "originals" bands ever). Every cover I've ever heard them do is just about as good as the original or maybe even a little better. Here they are covering Moby Grape, along with the original.

MP3s of the Day: "Hello Susie" by The Move and Amen Corner

Here's another one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands The Move. And a cover of said song from Amen Corner.

The Amen Corner song is available on Immediate Pleasure. A great compilation from Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records label. The Move's version is on the CD "Shazam".

Roy & Ron

They've got Roy Wood & Ron Wood At The Driftwood Singers Present

I was once bartending an Enuf Z'nuff show at the Mercury Lounge when I heard some idiot say "I heard that Ron Wood from the Stones jammed with Cheap Trick at Tramps". Of course it had been ROY Wood. Big difference.

I Can Hear The Grass Grow

"...A string of smash singles followed, with the psychedelic classic "I Can Hear The Grass Grow," the Eddie Cochran-inspired "Fire Brigade" and "Wild Tiger Woman" particular highlights. Meanwhile, Move stage shows were becoming quite flamboyant and often dangerous affairs. Spurred on by Secunda, the Move, like their contemporaries the Who, made stage destruction an art. Lead vocalist Carl Wayne was an expert with an ax on-stage, viciously hacking away at Hitler effigies, smashing TV sets and demolishing an entire 1956 Chevy. While this sensational stage show didn't sit well with Wood (or concert promoters who routinely banned the Move from many gigs), it did manage to draw considerable attention to the group." From this awesome Goldmine interview. I love this little tidbit:
"Goldmine: Did you know that Jellyfish covers "I Can Hear The Grass Grow in concert?
Roy Wood: No, I didn't know that. The best thing I ever heard was in the '60s. I heard Jimi Hendrix play "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" after a rehearsal, and it was brilliant (laughs)" . I wanna hear that!

Forever

"Meanwhile, "Forever," another engaging Wood solo single broke into the U.K. Top 10 in January 1974. Marrying the tunefulness of vintage Neil Sedaka with a soaring melody evocative of Brian Wilson and a dead-on Carl Wilson vocal impersonation, "Forever" stands as one of Roy Wood's greatest triumphs. Wood later returned the compliment to the boys of summer when he played sax on "It's O.K." a track from the Beach Boys 1976 15 Big Ones album."
From an amazing Goldmine interview.

Walk Upon The Water

The Move. A seemingly very in-depth site devoted to The Move & the whole Birmingham scene, in Russian!(Actually it's probably in Czech, if that's a language... The site has a .cz domain)

Indiana Rainbow

Some Roy Wood.

Any Old Time Will Do

Some mid-70's Roy Wood. He's mining a Beach Boys-esque vein on these but there's still a hell of a lotta Roy in there.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

I was trying to find this Roy Wood song among my MP3's and then I remembered I had this video of Wizzard doing "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" on ( i think) Top Of The Pops. Isn't that the one with that annoying blonde git that introduces this number?
