Vinyl-O-Matic Season 4, Episode 8 45s and Other Revolutions: A-Sides beginning with B, Part 5 L.A. Witch a: "Brian" b: "Untitled" Greenway Records GWY-021 (2016) In case you didn't already know, LA Witch are pretty damned rad (https://youtu.be/7SXQ71YT3Es). The Ladybug Transistor a: "Brighton Bound" b: "Cienfuegos (Cicada Sonata)" Elefant Records ER-226 (2000) For all you fellow Elephant 6 (https://youtu.be/vagJ7osygw) fans. **_ Bonny Billy/Rainywood a: "Brother Warrior" b: "Cornflower Blue" Palace Records PR27 (2002) Once upon a time I was a Palace/Will Oldham/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy completist. I was fortunate enough to pick up this single at a BPB show in Monte Rio CA, of all places, in 2002. Rainywood played that date as well. Rainywood would later become Brightblack Morning Light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightblack_Morning_Light). Chuck Berry & His Combo a: "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" b: "Too Much Monkey Business" Chess Records 1635 (1956) Never too much monkey business (https://youtu.be/2cFgCUIJL2g) as far as this simian is concerned. The Rolling Stones a: "Brown Sugar" b: "Bitch" Rolling Stones Records RS-19100 (1971) Here's Keef and The Rooster checking out a mix of Brown Sugar (https://youtu.be/4rlGoDD-Vt8). The Rock and Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co. of Philadelphia a: "Bubble Gum Music" b: "On a Summer Night" Buddah Records BDA 78 (1968) Seems like the perfect branding fit and namedropping all the while with the likes of Boyce and Hart (https://youtu.be/mfnlBXLHd08), The Monkees (https://youtu.be/tNqUufWLfZc), and 1910 Fruitgum Company (https://youtu.be/93zZ8_KO4pA). Talking Heads a: "Burning Down the House" b: "I Get Wild/Wild Gravity" Sire Records 7-29565 (1983) Sure they got the attention of us nerds with Once in a Lifetime (https://youtu.be/I1wg1DNHbNU), but this was pretty much their breakout, reaching all the way to Number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Madonna a: "Burning Up" b: "Physical Attraction" Sire Records 7-29609 Easily my favorite Madonna single (https://youtu.be/pufec0Hps00), no question. Mike Watt's rendition (https://youtu.be/BjpKb3rb2Qc) is pretty rad too. The B side could easily have been 3 minutes shorter. Music Behind the DJ: “Gomez” by Vic Mizzy (1964). Cover image: Selma Blair as Liz Sherman in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (del Toro, 2008). If you are a fan of podcast applications, you can use http://vinylomatic.com/rss to subscribe.
