There has been a lot of hype over Sgt. Pepper and what a landmark album it is but, its far from being the best album from 1967. That title goes to The Monkees
Headquarters. Next month(I think July 10th) Rhino is releasing a two disc deluxe edition of this landmark album. Should also mention that another great album of that year is
Pisces, Aquaries Capricorn, Jones Ltd is getting the deluxe reissue treatment as well.

I would tell you who has birthdays coming up, but as I just learned online, "CANCER WOMAN hates to be talked about or gossiped by someone else. If she knows she will be very hurt."

" She is like a musical note always change in tunes, so one minute she can be funny and cheerful, and one minute she can be sad and depress. When she is depress, she will go out and look for things to make it up. She loves money, and thinks of having “Money” as “happy”, not as “God”. She will not look down at you if you do not have a lot of money, but she will help you make money, save money. She is the type who enjoy a long and quiet walk…..She is not stingy, but you will not surprise if you see she collecting old or broken junks. …….. If she is a mother of your children, you are at ease, but if she is your mother in law, you are in pain. Not to worry, this type of mother in law will not let her own daughter being an “Old mate”…" WHAT?!
Best of all: "She can be live in a Dusty house, but she can not live in that same house with no
Love."

It says she can be live in a Dusty house, now Dingey is that about the guy who plays drums in Fortune & Maltese or do you have a dust fetish???
You can tell us sweetheart.
landmark, are you sure?
Hmmm
[quote=QuantumNoise]Was Headquarters really a "landmark album"? Whether or not it was the best record of 1967, is totally subjective. But doesn’t landmark imply some kind of significant historical impact? In this sense, Headquarters doesn’t seem to be Sgt. Pepper”s equal. [/quote]
You have your opinions sir and I have mine.
I like Headquarters. I like

Sugar Sugar
Another influential recording that was big for me around 1969 was The Archies’ "Sugar, Sugar," as a cardboard flexidisk on the back of boxes of Super Sugar Crisp. The production used technologies that blew my freaking mind. I was only three, but I was a real "sugar head" back then, if you know what I mean.

"She can be mad and act like a hurricane, and later can be like an innocent kitten, but do not fall for her O.K. She remembers everything and likes to cherish her sweet memory, so if you find her old photo albums with her ex-boyfriend or love letters that will make you puke, take it easy".
Really. Do not fall for me O.K. However, if you do fall for me and want to date me, prepare to spend big bugs. I’m talking like at least Florida Cockroach size. Maybe even Hercules Beetle.
ha!
"Slaughterhouse Five" rocked, too.
Yes, like Dresden! That was so cool.

Monkees are usually a good sadness bandage
I’d suggest that most people my age and 10-20 years younger have most of the Monkees tunes embedded in their heads from the constant play of the shows in Saturday morning reruns in the early ‘70’s, syndication (thank you WKBD), MTV reruns, video and DVD, etc. etc. Much of this audience’s notion of what a certain brand of mid-‘60’s pop/rock sounds like is partly the result of the constant exposure to the decidedly excellent songs included in the show’s soundtracks. Even if you never bought a Monkees record (I didn’t until I was 13), those songs made an indelible impression on your brain, and you could never hear the word "Monkees" without hearing, in the back of your head, the distinct jangle, melody, and harmony, that is truly the Monkees sound. That is influence.
But Headquarters as landmark? Well…. I have a whole thesis on Headquarters v. Pepper and the unrecognized, nearly symbiotic relationship they have with each other… stay tuned…
Hey, if it were 1972, I'd be watching "The Monkees" right now.
I feel a link to, though not a love for, The Monkees since the show debuted the exact time I was born. My older siblings had the debut record, which got beat to heck by the time I felt motivation to put it on myself. And I saw the old shows in rerun Saturdays. I saw the big Nesmithless reunion at Wings 1985.
not a believer?
"My money’s on Smashmouth!" - Bill Clinton
As the oldest sibling in the family, I was just too young to watch the Monkees in first-run, and didn’t get any of the records (maybe a cereal box 7" or two, but mostly I remember Archies and Jackson 5). I wasn’t in thrall to the Monkees until a purchase of a used box set (thanx Dusty and Flipside) of Listen to the Band. I’d liked enough of what I heard of songs from the show, plus I’d seen Head by that point, and Dadmin and Mike Maltese (and Matt S. for that matter) had hipped me to the greatness of Mike Nesmith’s solo work, that I thought a four-disc overview of the "band’s" work would give me all I needed. (For most that might be true - the curious can seek out Music Box as LTTB is out of print, and full of remixes to boot.) I was wrong. What it begat was a looong obsession with the intricate details of the Monkees history. Much of that obsession had to do with hearing Monkees work that didn’t get released, which was often as good, if not better, than work that made the cut. (Like Jake, this led me to purchase the Headquarters Sessions - Jake, if you don’t listen to it that much, you can make a pretty penny from a resale, or prettier pennies by shrinky-dinking each of the 3 discs.)
The uninitiated don’t need to be bothered with all the drama to enjoy the music (see bio-pic Daydream Believer for a half-assed take on all the legends - like when Nesmith put a fist through a wall in a meeting with Don Kirshner and screamed at him, "that could have been your face!"), if the music’s their bag, but the saga of how a bunch of actors- and musicians-for-hire went from being a fake band to a real band, if only for a short period, gives the resulting LP, Headquarters, a kind of cache that usually goes unnoted. That they made this attempt at legitimacy while the show wasn’t even done with its first season run is all the more fascinating to me. Guys with no cred among the US music hipsters giving the one thing that had given them mass success - a pop machine orchestrated by a hit producer, churning out guaranteed hits automatically ensured success by a hit TV show - the heave-ho, is a pretty risky thing to do. It was all to prove they weren’t a bunch of fakes… even though, they all knew, that’s what they were hired to be. Really twisted logic and impressive nerve happenin’ here. Kinda punk.
I mean, it’s not like you’d expect Richard Chamberlain to start doing surgeries just because he was Dr. Kildare.

I Thought Love Was Only True In Fairy Tales
Above, Mikey being sexually harassed after a 2005 Kalamazoo concert.
I’m a believer, but I don’t go to the church often.
another chance to harass Mickey
I mean Dolenz (but maybe our Mickey would be there). How could I forget - Mickey Dolenz is playing at the Portage Overlander bandshell this Saturday, 7/7/07! He was really in fine voice a couple of years ago at Arcadia, and wacky fun… of the always-on, always mugging style that would give Robin Williams a run for his money. Whether or not that’s appealing to anyone…

I totally forgot about Micky
