Chances are, you haven’t heard of The Family Affair. The UK band only released one album in 1968, and their solitary single, “Hanging Around,” apparently didn’t make much of a dent in the charts. The record has since become a bit of a collector’s item for sunshine pop aficionados and completists. Now the self-titled album from The Family Affair has been reissued on both vinyl and CD by Morgan Blue Town, allowing musicologists a fresh chance to discover these tunes from nearly 60 years ago.  In an era defined by one-hit-wonders, The Family Affair didn’t even have the luxury of a hit. Their only single, “Hanging Around,” was recorded on July 28, 1967 at EMI Studios in London. To put things in context, The Beatles had just released Sergeant Pepper in May of 1967 and the British charts were chockablock with genuine hits that have stood the test of time: “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix, “Bernadette” by The Four Tops, “Waterloo Sunset” by The Kinks, “Itchycoo Park” by Small Faces, and “R...

The world “bubblegum” conjures up sticky-sweet candy that tastes good in the moment, but can rot your teeth if you enjoy too much of it. Maybe that’s why there’s so much division around the style of music, first popularized around 1966 and enduring into the early 1970s, known as bubblegum. Pour A Little Sugar On It: The Chewy Chewy Sounds of American Bubblegum 1966-1971 chronicles a musical movement, taking us back to the time of catchy confections for our ears, with band names like The Peppermint Trolley Company, 1910 Fruitgum Co., Salt Water Taffy, The Raspberry Pirates, The Lemon Pipers, The Cherry People, and The Marshmellow Highway. But bubblegum was never necessarily a genre, it was more of a style and approach, so there's bleed into other territories like psych and sunshine pop. As such, this collection also includes tunes by The Beach Boys, The Monkees, Mama Cass, and even The Velvet Underground.  What is “bubblegum” anyway? In his booklet introduction, disc curator David ...

Kris Kristofferson has left this plane of existence and I find the world without him to be a little bit dimmer, the sky a bit darker without his star shining as a guide for those lost at sea.   I don't remember when I first became aware of Kris Kristofferson. I've been fairly open about my sheltered, hyper-religious youth in which the majority of movies and music were kept away from me--I was told they were distractions from the straight and narrow of a holy, spiritual life. As such, it's quite likely that he wasn't on my radar at all until I started to get out from under their thumbs around the age of 16. What I do know with certainty is that Kristofferson's appearance in the first Blade  film made quite an impression on me when it hit theaters; this grizzled, worn man with a craggy face, each line telling a story that I didn't yet know. He seemed out of place somehow in this polished comic book confection, too real for such escapist fantasy. Blade was The Dayw...
