Moments in Kinks-related books that I can't stop thinking about, no matter if it's happy, horrible, or sad :
-Michael Aldred. It was really interesting to see Ray's perspective. It was funny to see how he mentioned the word "friendship" right after writing about how Michael listened to the walls at the Connaught Gardens house. And also, Dave's recollection of their breakup. (X-Ray and Kink).
-Staying on the Michael Aldred topic, the fact that he was already trying to hit on Dave the first time they met during Ready, Steady, Go!. And Dave jokingly(?) punching Pete because... I don't remember what Pete did (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Mitch Mitchell almost joining The Kinks after the Cardiff incident (X-Ray, Kink and Americana I think?).
-["Where the fuck did the Greenlaw come from ?"] (X-Ray, I need to find the page again)
-Ray comparing Pete leaving the band to a divorce. (X-Ray)
-The whole David Watts bit aka. Ray attempts to sell his brother's hand to a man in exchange for a mansion after finding out the guy was gay with Mick's help. Also Mick was dancing around while in birth day clothing (X-Ray and Kink. I'm pretty sure Ray Davies: A Complicated Life also mentioned it).
-The mention of Nobby's picture with the guitar and shovel after he went back to his day job due to Pete coming back in 1966 (X-Ray).
-Mick Avory and his connections with the drag queen community (X-Ray).
-Mitch Mitchell hiding pigeons under his bed (Kink).
-Dave explaining Ray's behaviour with astrology (Kink).
-Everyone (the bros, Mick and Nobby) getting scolded by Grenville, and then Baptist entering the room drunk, in full Viking gear, and blowing a horn. Then Grenville resigned (Kink and Americana).
-Ken Jones' death (Americana and Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Mick falling and hurting his back while in a clown costume (Kink and Americana).
-Mick, a model, and a DJ (X-Ray).
-Mick attracting all the drag queens even though he's "straight" (Ray's words, not mine) (X-Ray).
-The house Dave and Mick (and Michael Aldred !) lived in had to get exorcised after they all left (don't remember which one, X-Ray maybe ?— Actually I think it was Ray Davies: A Complicated Life. Not sure though).
-The "pineapple juice" bit (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Baptist eating a restaurant bill, and then Pamela (one of the backing singers during Preservation era) trying to do the same but not being allowed to (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-The Kinks almost having a punch-up after a concert because Bob asked for a pizza and the brothers "went apeshit" (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Jim getting to go to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, even though he wasn't inducted (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Chrissie Hynde being scared that her and Ray's house might be haunted, so Ray called Peggy who called Dave for assistance (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Nobby thinking him leaving the Kinks was fated (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-1984 being a bad year for basically everyone (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Gordon having to calm down Mick's murderous intents for half an hour after the latter had to be sent to the dressing room following a fight with Dave (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Baptist dropping college right before his finals just so he could join The Kinks (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Nobby sprinting, diving and swimming Baptist back to the shore after the keyboardist accidentally fell (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-The Early 70s lineup members having nicknames (Nobby for John D, Baptist for John G, Hyde for Dave and One Step for Mick) (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-The "Kinks Hijack Plane" headline. Aka the Kinks got drunk before a flight, Dave went feral and Nobby screaming out of frustration from missing a soccer match (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-"[Ray] Davies was a horrible geezer – a cunt" - Phil May (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Mick and Baptist going Cassandra truth-mode on Andy (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Ray knocking out Baptist during a fight before the encore (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Jim and Gordon contrasting each other (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-The "Psychatrist. Hours open: 10-12" door (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
-Pete jokingly telling John Entwistle to give his bass to "a real bass player" (Ray Davies: A Complicated Life).
Other post I said I would post months ago, but didn't until today. It's a bit dusty because the only modification I did was remove 1 moment because I genuinely didn't know how to feel about that one.

The Rapture is funny. The record gave Siouxsie & The Banshees two options, i.e. they would've either continued after the LP into the Rolling Stones' perseverance paradox or they would've finished, but I'm sure few assumed the latter would've actually occurred. The same can be said for the Kinks. You see, many of their 60's peers still tour and I think they could've been a great attraction – Davieses would've given the Gallaghers a run for their money –, had they not quit after Phobia. Sure, they had no choice after the disc, which found them screaming how they invented Britpop – the album was released during the genre's heyday – and they don't seem to be their best, yet the LP points to the roads not taken as well. Who knows where the rest of the 90's could've taken them.

Phobia!
#on this day
Good luck to all, from heart to heart🫶💕🤗
"Phobia" is the Kinks' twenty-fourth and final studio album, released on March 29, 1993
British rock band formed in 1963 by brothers Ray and Dave Davis in Muswell Hill, North London.
The band is considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s.
The Kinks' music drew on a wide range of influences, including American R&B and rock and roll, and later borrowed British music hall, folk and country.
The band has gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle.
Participants:
Dave Davis, Ray Davis, Jim Rodford, John Dalton, Pete Quaife, Michael Avery, Gordon Edwards, John Gosling, Andy Pyle, Ian Gibbons

I was scrolling through Alamy some time ago, and I was definitely not expecting to find pics of mid-late 80s Kinks with both Bob and Mick in it !! (no keyboard player in sight, though... so I can't pinpoint when it happened)

Then a couple years ago there was a final bloodletting ridding the committee of virtually all nominators-many of whom had been on since the RockHall’s launch-who had any knowledge of the ‘50s and ‘60s, when rock ‘n’ roll really was rock ‘n’ roll. It’s been 10 years at least since I and a number of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee members were let go, ostensibly, the form email firing us said, to bring in younger ones more conversant in 1970s rock. Music, News British Invasion, Colin Blunstone, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rod Argent, The Zombies Leave a comment Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations focus on 1970s and beyond Those shows furthered the band’s remarkable resurgence as a major concert draw more than 50 years after they first hit big with “She’s Not There”-their 1964 single inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame just last year.Īs many reviewers have noted, The Zombies today have somehow never sounded better. Last year White and Grundy again joined their former bandmates for select performances of the album in the U.S., in which The Zombies current lineup–bassist Jim Rodford, guitarist Tom Toomey and Steve Rodford (Jim’s son) on drums–also played. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of Odessey and Oracle, the four surviving original Zombies performed three concerts at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire Theatre in March, 2008.

It’s been widely acknowledged since then as a pop album masterpiece, with “Time of the Season” being used in numerous films and TV shows.īlunstone and Argent, who enjoyed successful solo careers following the original Zombies demise, reunited in 1998 and then revived The Zombies name in 2004. Released in 1968–ironically after the group had disbanded- Odessey and Oracle yielded The Zombies’ landmark hit, “Time of the Season,” the following year. Text will additionally include Zombies’ anecdotes behind the songs and their recording. Now comes word of a North American Zombies tour next spring–to continue to England and Europe later in the year–to include the final full-album performances of Odessey and Oracle reuniting all four surviving members of the group: lead vocalist Colin Blunstone, keyboardist/vocalist Rod Argent, bassist/vocalist Chris White and drummer Hugh Grundy (original guitarist Paul Atkinson died in 2004).Īlso next year-in March-comes publication of a lavish, LP-sized coffee-table book, featuring lyrics for the Odessey and Oracle songs and many of their other classics, all handwritten by the songwriters and accompanied by original artwork from Terry Quirk, creator of the famous Odessey and Oracle album cover, and Vivienne Boucherat, who has conceived individual illustrations for each of its songs. Turns out The Zombies’ nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wasn’t the only news relating to the historic British Invasion group to be announced this week.

The Kinks' varied career found them traversing a multitude of different soundscapes, but they eventually reached the period, where their influential work became quite noticeable within the many modern rock music scenes. Of course, since The Kinks were always being themselves, they ended their opus back then during the height of Britpop, yet we must be honest – Phobia doesn't really belong to their best. One could describe this as an A.I. amalgam of the group and the already mentioned movement, because the platter feels like a collection of the propositions that could've developed into something interesting. Sadly, they stopped after that one, though the recent rumblings made Phobia a case of a series finale with a cliffhanger, if you catch my drift.
