RETROKIMMER: MACHINEGUN THOMPSON MC5 VIDEOS

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 02:59 PM PDT



Had some big fun today making videos for my friends! I was trying to find a good video of Machinegun playing "Skunk Sonically Speaking" There was one but hey not one photo of the 5 in it. Well.... I have tons of images from Dennis' archives. So now we have a very COOL Machinegun video!



Called Den to let him know I was doing these videos and he said "It's about time you made something for ME!" Gotta love that guy!



Dennis wrote the music and lyrics for "Gotta Keep Movin" It is such a fun DETROIT RAW rock n roll tune. Machinegun is the bad ass drummer of Rock n Roll...

SCOTT MORGAN'S TOP 4 FAVORITE RATIONALS SONGS

Posted: 12 Apr 2011 07:09 AM PDT


Scott Morgan

I asked Scott yesterday to give me his top 3 favorite Rationals songs. He gave me 4. His list is #1 favorite "I Need You". That is my favorite as well. I was lucky to have gotten a ticket to see Scott sing that live at the Magic Bag the summer of 2009. This is the song that made hordes of teenage girls faint dead out when Scott sang it. Honesty and vulnerability from a boy who loves his girl....



Scott's #2 favorite is "Temptation's Bound to Get Me" Also my second favorite. The Rats harmonies in this song just sends me into a coma! I can't help but sing loudly along with the Rats and Scott on this tune. I couldn't find a decent video of this song so I made 4 Rats videos this morning to use for this story and as a gift to Scott and the Rationals bazillion fans.



How cool is this song? Temptation already got me I think....



These Ann Arbor guys made such a huge impact on Detroit rock and roll. Scott is working on a book and I can tell you he knows everything and everybody in the history of Detroit Music. Can't wait to read the whole story.



Scott's #3 favorite is Hand Bags and Glad Rags. I love this song and it's upbeat rhythm compared to the Rod Stewart's version.





Scott's #4 favorite is "Listen to Me" Scott is playing the congas on this song and I just love it. One night I was dropping Scott at a gig and this song came on my Jeep's cd player just as he was getting out. Scott heard the first 2 notes and hopped back in my jeep and said...."let's listen to me"! Well that's what we did... How cool is that??





Made one more video today to share....
