THE KINKS

The Kinks was one of the most influential bands to come out of England in the 60s, with a career that lasted up through the late 90s. Their style and sound changed numerous times over the decades and they amassed a legion of dedicated fans. We talk with author / editor Chris Kocher about his new book, Thank You For The Days: Fans Of The Kinks Share 60 Years Of Stories, which celebrates the band’s legacy and fans’ special connection to it. Among the contributors are Ron Sexsmith, Glen Burtnick, John Wesley Harding, Crouch End Festival Chorus musical director David Temple, plus touring musicians, fan club leaders, and “average Joe” fans with extraordinary stories. 

Thank You For The Days is currently available in the UK and will be released in the US in March 2025. Order your copies HERE.

After that, we spend a few minutes remember Marianne Faithful, who passed away just a couple of days before we reccorded this episode.

Jim reflects on one of the first “Big Monster” movies he saw growing up, 1955’s Classic, “It Cam From Beneath The Sea,” featuring the work of Ray Harryhausen and starring Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domergue, Donald Curtis, Ian Keith, Dean Maddox, and Harry Lauter. Produced by Charles Schneer and directed by Robert Gordon, the effects from this film continued to establish Harryhausen as one of the best special effects men in the business. A giant octopus threatens San Francisco. How will will it be stopped? Find out on this episode of MONSTER ATTACK!, The Podcast Dedicated To Old Monster Movies.

Flopcast episode 666! Longtime Flopcast listeners (those poor souls) know that every 100 episodes, we celebrate V66, Boston’s own music video TV channel of the mid-80s. This time, however, we have a special guest: Eric Green, director of the V66 documentary, Life on the V! And because this is episode 666, we’re looking at the heavy metal and hard rock bands and videos of the V66 era. It was a time when catchy melodies and goofy visuals helped acts like Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister score huge Top 40 hits. The Kiss guys lost the makeup, Van Halen switched from Dave to Sammy, Aerosmith made their (rap-assisted) comeback, Mötley Crüe freaked everybody out, and Bon Jovi opened the floodgates for a cacophony of hair metal. Meanwhile on the local scene, V66 promoted a video filmed at a Boston-area high school by an unknown hard rock band called Extreme. And as the New England Patriots prepared for Super Bowl 1986, V66 was there with a couple of low budget quickie music videos, including the goofy metal tune “Skin the Bears.” (Spoiler: The Patriots absolutely did not skin the Bears.) Also: Kevin finds V66 VJ David O’Leary at a Taylor Dayne show! Eric traces the history of Nirvana in Boston! Tom Bergeron gets in touch with the kids on Rap Around! And if you’re in the Boston area, you can join us for a special screening of Life on the V at the Somerville Theatre on February 27th! Kids, it’s the 40th anniversary of V66. You deserve a night out, surrounded by Junior Mint-chomping 80s nerds who know how to neutron dance.
