THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE... ... with THE RASCALS! I was delighted to rediscover one of my fave clips, their cover of "Mickey's Monkey" in a medley with "Turn On Your Love Light." A second live medley includes a pair of Rascals originals, "I've Been Lonely Too Long" and "Come On Up." Plus, a copy of "It's a Beautiful Morning" has returned to the Tube, as well as "Groovin'" and "How Can I Be Sure?" Round it out with the live-instudio version of the obligatory "Good Lovin'," and the early "Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" from Hullaballoo. TYLER CHILDERS advance streams Purgatory. RANDY NEWMAN advance streams Dark Matter. BETH DITTO plays a short set at the Turf Club. THE CARS share a previously unreleased studio version of "They Won't See You." RINGO STARR & PAUL McCARTNEY reunite on “We’re On the Road Again." It also features The Eagles’ Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter, and Toto’s Steve Lukather (who co-wrote the song). STARS share "Fluorescent Light." KENNY ROGERS & THE FIRST EDITION: "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Yeah. THE MERCURY PRIZE nominees are announced.
