  8. Wolfman Jack

    The radio legend was born on January 21, 1938. He made his mark on the "border blaster" stations back in the 60's and 70's ... the radio stations just across the US/Mexico border. Over there, stations could transmit at power levels that would literally "... kill birds..." that flew too close to the tower. At night, The Wolfman's howl could be heard clear across all 48 continental states in the Union. #wolfmanjack #60smusic #70smusic #80smusic #90smusic

    Ellie Greenwich - Composes, Produces, and Sings

    I posted an album from this artist a few weeks ago, and since then have been trying hard to get my hands on this, her other album, at a reasonable cost. This arrived this morning from New York, via Chicago, London and Exeter.
    As a writer and producer, she is very important in the history of rock/pop music, and well worth researching for anyone interested in such matters.

  10. Today would have been Robert Moog's birthday, and he is of course the inventor of the incredibly awesome-sounding Moog synthesizer that you'll hear everywhere in rock music.

    My introduction to the Moog was in the early 90s, I picked up Gary Numan's brilliant album Telekon in a tiny record store in Maryland when I was a teen. I was hooked. I still listen to it.

    My second big Moog exposure was on the album Return of the Rentals by the Rentals, the side project of former Weezer bass player Matt Sharp. ANOTHER great album.

    One more album you might know Moog synths from is of course Abbey Road, one of the first to have Moog on it, specifically a bunch on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and even "Here Comes the Sun".

    Long live that killer Moog sound!
