SUSANNA HOFFS GETS UNDER THE COVERS

Amid the synth-pop and glam-metal that dominated mid-1980s American radio, the Bangles seemed an anachronism.
The all-female Southern California quartet imbued their songs with jingle-jangle guitars and sweet harmonies that placed them firmly in the folk-rocky traditions of the Byrds and the Mamas and the Papas.
While their most famous tracks, the novelty hit "Walk Like an Egyptian" and the power ballad "Eternal Flame," were rather radio-friendly, their album cuts showcased a band wearing their Beatles badges proudly on their lapels.
After peaking commercially in the late '80s, the Bangles went their separate ways, occasionally reuniting since.

KAFM NOTES: MOST PRODUCTIVE

Psst! Wanna know a surefire way to tell if your friend is a music nerd?

Ask him or her: “Who's your favorite record producer?”

Let's be honest -- the average Joe or Jane won't know what a record producer does, let alone could tell you who his/her favorite was.

GUEST ARTIST ON THE TIME MACHINE: ADAM MARSLAND AND HIS BANGLES MOOD

Rocker Adam Marsland drops by in a reflective mood.

I've got that fall feeling lately -- that beautiful melancholy that makes you look back and forward simultaneously, being aware of what's gone by and bringing the desire to accomplish more.

THE WORST ROCK'N'ROLL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS IN HISTORY

1. Brian Epstein
The 1963 Beatles/Seltaeb merchandising fiasco is well documented. In short, Beatle business "supremo" Brian Epstein, or more accurately his lawyer David Jacobs, sold the band's image rights to posh bloke Nicky Byrne, an acquaintance from the Chelsea party scene.

WILSON & ALROY (REVIEW THE BEACH BOYS)

QUOTE:

Important note for fawning fans: my co-author David Wilson is NOT NOT NOT Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, or any other Wilson associated with the Beach Boys.
THIS PAGE HAS NO OFFICIAL CONNECTION TO ANY OF THE BEACH BOYS.
I had hoped this would put a stop to all the Brian Wilson love letters we've been getting, but we continue to get such letters on a regular basis. Go figure...
