If you are interested in Hollywood history or famous LA restaurants, dig L.A.'S LEGENDARY RESTAURANTS: CELEBRATING THE FAMOUS PLACES WHERE HOLLYWOOD ATE, DRANK, AND PLAYED by George Geary, which includes many great photos and recipes https://t.co/Q7GCZT0KlQ #Hollywood #LosAngeles

I've been on a The Monkees trip lately, which has lead me to digging into popular 1960s youth hangout spots in LA, like Ben Frank's which @alisonmartino has written about https://t.co/xjEYRwCdKS . I have also included some clippings from https://t.co/v1R7eTfQYL #1960s #Hippies

Dig this: https://t.co/8pE5bhlFHS PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and released by the Monkees in the summer of 1967, explores the songwriters' dissatisfaction with life in the suburbs. Here is King's demo version of the hit song #1960s #Monkees

Now spinning: Jamul's self-titled album from 1970, a heavy psych blues rock record produced by Richard Podolor with Gabriel Mekler, the same guys who produced Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night #Jamul #1960s #1970s #Psychedelic

HEAD is a 1968 theatrical spin-off series finale of the 1966–68 NBC television show, THE MONKEES, written and produced by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson. Rafelson later went on to produce the classic motorcycle film EASY RIDER, starring Jack Nicholson #Psychedelic #1960s

Now spinning: THE CLOWN DIED IN MARVIN GARDENS, the second album from psychedelic rock group Beacon Street Union, released in 1968 on MGM Records #Psychedelic #1960s #vinylrecords

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

@RockNRoLL_85 Love's third studio album, FOREVER CHANGES, arguably the most important and influential album to come out of the "summer of love".

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

@SmallshawJ17255 @RockNRoLL_85 Agreed, it's a great album.

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

Currently spinning: The Butterfield Blues Band's second album EAST-WEST from 1966. The album is regarded as highly influential by rock and blues music historians, with all of the band members appearing on the album being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 #1960s

Actress Sharon Tate as Jennifer North in 1967's VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. Candice Bergen was initially cast in the Mark Robson film, but withdrew before filming. Bergen lived at the notorious 10050 Cielo Drive before Tate's murder there in 1969 #SharonTate #CharlesManson #1960s

@NPortnell I have this album, thanks for the reminder to give it a spin.

Currently spinning: The Great Society's CONSPICUOUS ONLY IN ITS ABSENCE from 1968, recorded live at The Matrix club in San Francisco. The group is the original band of Grace Slick, who went on to become the singer of Jefferson Airplane #psychedelic #1960s #JeffersonAirplane

Friday morning sounds: THE LOTUS PALACE by The Alan Lorber Orchestra, released on Verve Records in 1967. The album fuses together Raga and Jazz, and includes Eastern-influences and psychedelic elements to create unique interpretations of popular 60s hit songs #psychedelic #1960s

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

Saturday morning sounds: Agincourt’s psych folk album, FLY AWAY, from 1970. This is a beautiful album, easily one of my favourite discoveries from 2023. (BTW I ordered this reissue online for $20 CDN, but it arrived wet, soggy, and the record was moldy 🤷🏼)#1960s #psychedelic

Happy Birthday, @JimMorrison #JimMorrison

@JacobBrown_007 I remember The Hives live in 2008 were a lot of fun, Metallic in 2004 was unforgettable and a bucket list concert, and Dead and Company in San Francisco this summer was an experience I will never forget. You?

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

@JacobBrown_007 Also, that last tweet made it seem like GZA was the only live rap performance I have seen, I want to clarify that I have seen many others, but most were bad.

[Kelsy Norman @KelsyNorman]

@JacobBrown_007 Live rap is generally terrible; however, I saw GZA from Wu Tang here in Calgary maybe 10 years ago, super small venue, and it was a treat. As for Harlow, you should just search it up online.

@JacobBrown_007 @KingsOfLeon @youngfollowill @doctorfollowill @jackharlow @Interpol @thebottlemen @thestrokes @alberthammondjr @Casablancas_J What did you think of that halftime show he put on in Detroit?
