Sweet City Woman: The Stampeders

Calgary's The Stampeders were one of Canada's biggest bands of the early 70s. Their unique country-rock sound, featuring a memorable banjo riff, propelled their song 'Sweet City Woman' to the top of the charts in Canada and made it a major international hit. The song won them a Juno Award for Best Single in 1972 and remains a classic rock radio staple. #Canada #TheStampeders #ClassicRock #70sMusic 🇨🇦

Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

🇩🇪 Boney M. "Rasputin" – 1978

Boney M.'s exuberant retelling of the life of Grigori Rasputin became one of the group's signature songs and despite being a huge international hit, "Rasputin" was not performed by Boney M. during their 1978 concerts in the Soviet Union. The authorities considered the song too politically sensitive...

STEVE MARTIN AND THE TOOT UNCOMMONS
King Tut
1978 Canada 7” single

A little whimsy and nostalgia to end my night before bed.

I remember watching an old re-run of SNL as a kid where Steve Martin was dressed in pharaoh garb performing this ridiculous song. I remember saying “What the hell was THAT?!?!”

The “uncommons” are actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and that SNL performance was where this was born; a completely ridiculous novelty song written about the Treasures Of Tutankhamun travelling exhibit that toured through American cities for three years (1976-1979).

Steve Martin is a fucking genius.

“They all got wet when he smashed that thing … “

September 20, 1979 ~ Paul Simonon, frustrated because the crowd at The Palladium in New York City isn't standing, smashes his instrument on stage. The shot is snapped by Pennie Smith, who thinks it is too blurry, but the album's art director loves it and gives it the cover. The visual becomes one of the iconic moments and photos of rock. #TheClash #londoncalling #paulsimonon #penniesmith #70smusic #music #70srock #rock…

Today (December 14) in 1979 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of London Calling in the UK (the U.S. release date was January 1980). Still easily one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and I listen to it at least once every year - who am I kidding - multiple times every year.

The prompt is Sin

Patti Smith, Excelsis Deo/Gloria from Horses, 1975

“Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.”

The first line of the first track of the first album by #PattiSmith.

What an entrance. The world would never be the same.

Patti wasn’t repudiating Christianity here as much as owning her every act, every intention, as human, as hers, as her art. She ends this solemn, solo piano accompanied intro with “My sins my own, they belong to ME” [guitar chord], repeating ”ME” for emphasis, again underlined with #guitar crunch. And she was off and running, melding her own #poetry with the #GarageRock classic “Gloria” by Them. She would continue this paradigm several more times on record and to this day in live performance, her incantations bleeding into the music that inspired her to incorporate #LennyKaye’s guitar backing into her first #poetry reading performance at St. Mark’s church in the #Bowery

I was a teenager when this was released, and the title track was shown on TV. I wandered around Basingstoke the next day looking for the album, and Boots the Chemist had a copy. I must have listened to it many hundreds of times, great playing, Tom Verlaine’s singing, amazing. Still a firm favourite. #nowPlaying #70smusic #cbgbs #TomVerlaine
