Title: Pet Squares #6 (Shut Down Vol. 2) is now up! Post by: adamghost on November 05, 2021, 02:18:18 AM Sorry for the 3 month wait...had to let the hubbub die down around FEEL FLOWS!
It's the usual thorough and slightly irreverent dissection, this time of SHUT DOWN VOL. 2...treble up, everybody! https://youtu.be/aVMsqOXuP4U (https://youtu.be/aVMsqOXuP4U) Title: Re: Pet Squares #6 (Shut Down Vol. 2) is now up! Post by: Rocker on November 06, 2021, 10:11:55 AM Thanks, Adam!
I like the Shut Down Vol. 2 album very much, even if there indeed are a lot of weaknesses. What I'll never understand though is the dislike of "Louie, Louie". I think it's a great performance (very close to the original). Especially the blasting surf solo by Carl is a highlight. I also think that they sound very cool on this track, like a real Rock-band and not like the dorks they where (and I say that with great admiration!). Not too keen on "Pom pom play girl" and "In the parkin' lot", although the intro and outro of the latter is fantastic and reminds me of some of the vocals on "Mt. Vernon and Fairway". BTW hearing their playing on "Cassius vs. Sonny", I always hoped that there is a complete run-through of their show in the archives. Would be nice to hear that. But then I'm a fan of the Boys' live qualities of this periode. Title: Re: Pet Squares #6 (Shut Down Vol. 2) is now up! Post by: adamghost on November 10, 2021, 09:47:18 PM Thanks, Adam!

Seems like they were inspired by Rockin' Ron Roberts' version of the song, which also seems to have influenced the Beach Boys if you listen to the guitar solo that was not present on Richard Berry's original. So the Boys probably knew both versions and basically combined them. Still, Carl's guitar performance is outta this world imo.

There's so much inaccurate information on the 'net I don't like adding to it. Episode 5 was basically motivated because I decided I had the musician credits in Ep. 4 mostly wrong. But I think this episodes it wasn't so much corrections as additional information. There's only so much you can cram in there. Title: Re: Pet Squares #6 (Shut Down Vol. 2) is now up! Post by: Don Malcolm on November 15, 2021, 08:39:23 PM I'm totally in favor of its use for either purpose--it adds a layer of new info and is often entertaining in its own right... :smokin
