The wonderful Road to Now podcast is rebroadcasting an interview we did about #TheKinks a few years ago, which is very kind of them. https://theroadtonow.com/episodes/the-kinks-w-mark-doyle-169-rebroadcast/

Listening to my #Vinyl #Collection - Album 146

The Kinks – A Compleat Collection (1984)

A great, yet odd, collection of early #TheKinks songs, but no Lola for some reason. The album reuses the same terrible band photo several times. Just enjoy it for what it is I suppose.

Listening to my #Vinyl #Collection - Album 145

The Kinks – State Of Confusion (1983)

#TheKinks are awesome! Come Dancing is an all time favorite, but the entire album is quality.

Better get back to my rock 'n' roll roots!

Watch this video, and look for the man with the longest hair in the band, playing keyboards.

That is John Gosling, with the Kinks from 1970 to 1978, and who died on 4 August 2023, aged 75.

@stefvonsexron I think the drummer in the third picture is #MickAvory, still alive and kicking and long-time member of #TheKinks

@webcomictalk Oooo, I love these questions!

For Q4, I can imagine #LaliTheDragonslayed walking around singing #thekinks "Lola," but subbing in her own name. "Lali, L-A-L-I, Lali"

I also think it's fitting b/c Lali's a female #BoneGolem, but is built mostly from a male #skeleton (hasn't come up in the comic yet, just a drop of backstory).

"Greatest Hits" by The Kinks released this day in 1966.
#TheKinks #GreatestHits #VintageVinyl

#TheKinks, werd meteen goed onthaald, en met hun derde single Brass In Pocket in januari 1980 haalden ze hun eerste nummer 1.
Tegelijkertijd kwam hun debuut uit, genaamd #Pretenders, welke wordt gezien als één van de beste debuutalbums aller tijden.
Op 14 juni 1982 ontslaat de band #PeteFarndon wegens drugsgebruik, 2 dagen later op 16 januari 1982 vinden ze James op het appartement van zijn vriendin, overleden na een hartaanval door gebruik van cocaïne.
Hynde schreef de song 2000 Miles voor hem

I loved this song, but for whatever reason I could never get my parents to buy me this album. #TheKinks https://youtu.be/xRUE0aAI5o8

"Gosling’s audition for the band was the recording session for Lola, a track which went to No 2 in the UK singles chart"

Sad to hear the news of the death of former 🎹🎶 #TheKinks keyboard player #JohnGosling. 😞

70's era Kinks music was disjointed but hugely creative and with involvement on;

⚫️🎶 Lola Versus Powerman and the Money-go-round, Part One. (1970)
⚫️🎶 Muswell Hillbillies. (1971)
⚫️🎶 Everybody's in Show-Biz. (1972)
⚫️🎶 Preservation Act 1 & 2. (1973/74)
⚫️🎶 Sleepwalker. (1977)
⚫️🎶 … and more.

John Gosling leaves quite a musical legacy.

Very sorry to hear the passing of John Gosling keyboardist from #TheKinks. Joining the band in 1970. Gosling’s audition for the band was the recording session for Lola...just like cherry Cola.... #music

Day 15c: A song you like that's a cover by another artist

"Waterloo Sunset" - #Spot (2005)

And finally: banjo/guitar/bodhrán master Glenn Michael Lockett aka Spot once gave us this wistful cover of the most beautiful London song ever. He passed away earlier this year, but I think about him every time I spin any of the dozens of records he produced for #SSTRecords in the early 80s. RIP.

The Kinks night on BBC 2 for UK at 9pm, can't wait :) #TheKinks #Music #sounds #60s #70s #kinks

40 years ago this week, "Come Dancing" by #TheKinks entered the #Top10 at 8. It peaked at 6 on 16 Jul 1983. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xRUE0aAI5o8 #1980s #musichistory #musicvideo

Today’s listening is ‘Are The Village Green Preservation Society’, the 1968 album by The Kinks.

The Kinks were much more of a ‘singles’ than an ‘album' band.

For example, the first bonus track on this remastered CD is the song ‘Days’, a single which was left off the finished ‘Village Green’ album, but which is far better than anything on the album itself!

The album comprises mostly whimsical, fairly forgettable songs. But, ‘Days’ alone lets old Ray off the hook!

The Kinks' "Low Budget" released this day in 1979.
