Ray Davies of the Kinks is 79 years old today - Man, what a great band.

The distortion on the guitar track was created after Dave Davies sliced the speaker cone of his guitar amplifier with a razor blade and poked it with a pin, causing extra vibration on the sound.

also, from Ray's autobiography:
Halfway through the song it was time for Dave's guitar solo. This moment had to be right. So I shouted across the studio to Dave, give him encouragement. But I seemed to spoil his concentration. He looked at me with a dazed expression. 'Fuck off.' If you doubt me, if you doubt what I'm saying, I challenge you to listen to the original Kinks recording of 'You Really Got Me'. Halfway through the song, after the second chorus, before the guitar solo, there's a drum break. Boo ka, boo boo ka, boo ka, boo boo. And in the background you can hear 'fuck off'. You can, you can. When I did the vocal I tried to cover it up by going 'Oh no', but in the background you still hear it 'fuck off'. And it's even clearer on CD, it's really embarrassing

Old Guy Radio with a good song from the group Toronto - Don't know if they got any traction in the States, but they were quite popular for a few years in Canada.

Stumbled upon this today. Awesome.




Also, I am going to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Sunday. Other than Eminem, what displays should I fart on?

I've got nothing against Percy Sledge, but aside from "When a Man Loves a Woman", what else is he known for?
