For Fox Sake

Hi girl group fans,
Another month, another update of the Girl Group Chronicles Web site.
This week's featured artist is my personal favourite, the Chiffons.
The monthy must-have is a best-of Candy and the Kisses, and I've
added a new Top 20 list (songs that have been stuck in my head
recently). Enjoy!

When I read this something clicked in my head....my copy has the same
number but is credited to Marsha Brody and Milton Delugg .
Such is the stuff of which legends are made.

Freeman, I'll post them in a day or two. I just moved yesterday, and the
internet connection hasn't been restored to the computer on which the mp3's
are.

Subject: Re: Driving Songs
There is an excellent drivin' song by the super-cool LA band, the
Masticators. Lisa Mychols captures the adrenaline rush of gettin' ready
to go to a club to see a great band; anticipating the drive on a warm Cali
night in a convertable.
VRRRRR00000MMMMM!
I found the track for download at MP3.com; CD also for sale.
Happy 4th everyone, [sorry, our British friends :%) - you're invited to the
cookout too ! too bad about Cornwalis, though - just kiddin' gang ! ]
Love to all,
Freeman Carmack
PS - can't wait for her solo CD , 60s covers, including
the TREMENDOUS song by Leslie Gore; something about
warm California nights!
PSS - I'm still feelin' groovy about Brasil's
win over Germany; 2:0.A "classico".There were no "losers" anywhere
to be found in either match over the weekend.Germany kept
it close for the full 90 minutes, AND,an extra treat, on Saturday,
a third place game to re-establish the balance of the cosmos;
Korea v Turkey.! All heroes; the teams AND the crowd.I have
never seen a more positive energy emitted from crowds at
international football matches; truly inspiring.Even with
the early exit of powerhouses like France(!),Italy, Argentina
and Portugal(I'm sure the same will not be the case in Germany '06),
it was an exciting final(s),showcasing the best players and teams.
To tie this all together, the samba style of "jogo bonito" reminds
me of the sensuous style of Jobim, Gilberto, and/or the "tropicalisto"
style of Gil and Nascimento, OR the dadaistic wonder of
Os Mutantes(imagine if say,Boettcher and the Association had
taken lots of mescaline and then listened to hours of Tom Ze
and chora music before stepping into the studio on the beach in Rio - merely
an approximation).
That music,which has had no small effect on the
music that we love, is a gift from the Creator.
Blessings to all.....

Subject: The Cake
Most Spectropoppers will know this group's excellent version of "Baby
That's Me," but I wonder what else you know. I just heard the Cake's
version of "You Can Have Him" and saw their performance on (the
Johnny Carson Show?) and I really enjoyed it. I know they released
two albums, but have they been released on CD yet? When I do an
Internet search for "the Cake" I end up with baking or the modern
group of the same name. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: The Cake
You'll probably get a few responses regarding the Cake some
positive and some negative - I personally love them because
they did some Girl Group sounds but also some more experimental
sounds too which I think are precursors to some of the more
gothic sounds of the 70s or 80s... I think truth be told they
were not big fans of the Girl Group sound and were forced to
record some sides in that vein. There used to be an interview
with one of the Cake online which covered the post-Cake doings
but I'm not sure if it is still up. One thing that struck me is
they followed up the Cake with an a capella singing group which
I'm guessing never recorded - but I would love to hear that.
One member of the Cake has a reggae-sounding band nowadays. The
second lp is called A Slice of Cake,

This information is thanks to the Lesley Gore mailing list
(also here at Yahoo Groups):
"Appleman" was an animated film done under the Crewe umbrella
that was never completed due to lack of dollars. It was
presaged in the entertainment press a few times but then Crewe
Records and its burgeoning subsidiaries dissolved.
The Lesley Gore single was called "Back Together" and "Quiet
Love".
