Weekend Reminders

Thursday posts focus on events that were previously mentioned on Broken Hearted Toy, and are taking place during the upcoming weekend. Plus, the occasional event taking place this weekend that has just come to my attention.

Here’s an event you can catch tonight, depending on when you read this. PureSoul, which regularly schedules Soul Brunch events at City Winery Chicago, will present A Quincy Jones Celebration at the venue tonight at 7:30 pm. Special guests will include Marqueal Jordan, Chris Lofton, and Sam Thousand.

Chicago-based vocalist-guitarist Nicholas Tremulis will celebrate his 65th birthday at Metro this Saturday with help from his band The Prodigals, DJ (Metro owner) Joe Shanahan, and special guests. The seated event, which benefits the Collaboraction Youth Music Program, is sold out, but there are still general admission tickets left for the main floor. Congratulations and best wishes, Nicholas. The doors open at 7:00 pm.

Cary’s Lounge on Chicago’s north side will offer a free double bill of whitewolfsonicprincess and The Flying Chaucers this Saturday, starting at 4:00 pm. Fans have described whitewolfsonicprincess as performers of “21st Century Druid Music” and the band’s latest album Love Without Fear has been picking up favorable reviews on blogs and podcasts. Cary’s Lounge is located at 2251 W. Devon.

January is upon us, and as any Chicago area blues fan knows; that’s when Buddy Guy logs some serious stage time. Starting on January 9, he’ll have Thursday through Sunday gigs at his Buddy Guy’s Legends club through the rest of the month. On a related note, Chicago radio station WXRT will air a vintage Buddy Guy concert as part of its Live From The XRT Archives series Friday night at 9:00 pm.

A fascinating film/live music event titled Haiku Milieu Highlights will take place this Saturday at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn. It involves the multiple artists who’ve composed songs based on haikus created by singer-songwriter Jenny Bienemann. Haiku Milieu Highlights will open with videos at 7:00 pm, followed by a concert an hour later.

The Bad Examples will return to Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights this Saturday night. Lead vocalist-guitarist Ralph Covert has a knack for composing clever, catchy songs such as “Reaching For Shadows,” “Pictures Of A Masquerade,” and “Jayne Left Behind” that often remind people of Squeeze. The music starts at 7:00 pm.

Singer-guitarist Phil Angotti will continue his Beatle Brunch series at City Winery this Sunday at noon, with help from Nash Duo for a set of Beatles songs with strings. A second set of more rock-oriented Beatles songs will find Angotti being backed by Blair Holmes and Tom Ryan.

Post Of Christmas Past: Four “Auld Lang Synes,” My Dear

I’ve shared this post several times over the years, but if you’re putting together a playlist for your New Year’s Eve celebration, these are some worthy candidates.

One of the reasons people still get misty-eyed at the end of It’s A Wonderful Life is because all the family, friends, and neighbors singing “Auld Lang Syne” at the Bailey residence reminds us of our own situation. The song has always conveyed a bittersweet message. A celebration of the loved ones we’ve cherished throughout our lives, but a recognition that for one reason or another, many of them have moved on. John Lennon explored a similar sentiment with The Beatles on “In My Life.”

There was a time when just about everybody thought of Guy Lombardo when it came to “Auld Lang Syne” since he and his Royal Canadians played it every New Year’s Eve for years on radio and TV. Nowadays, nobody under 60 would know who he was, although his version is available on iTunes and YouTube. It sounds particularly melancholy.

“Auld Lang Syne” continues to be covered by various musicians. The version by The Smithereens on their terrific album Christmas With The Smithereens opens with the band harmonizing like a barbershop quartet. From there, the guitars and drums kick in and the arrangement morphs into a pulsating surf rock tune that’s predominantly instrumental.

Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken also tackled the song as part of group called Husky Team. This fun instrumental take, which is included on the Hi-Fi Christmas Party Volume 2 CD, mixes “Auld Lang Syne” with the Booker T & The MG’s 1960s hit, “Green Onions.”

My favorite version of “Auld Lang Syne” comes from a New Jersey band called The Cucumbers, and as far as I can tell, it’s only available on the various artists CD Ho Ho Ho Spice. The guitar-driven, slightly Celtic, power pop arrangement and Deena Shoshkes’s spirited vocals cast out any trace of sadness and offer instead an exhilarating sense of triumph. The journey’s over and the quest has been successful. Definitely inspirational, but not the feeling we’ve come away with at the close of any recent years. Here’s hoping we never stop trying to make things better. And a champagne toast to Jimmy Carter.

Incoming

Best wishes to everyone for a safe and festive New Year’s Eve tomorrow.

The Rolling Stones are holding a 25% Off Storewide - Boxing Day Sale through January 2 for items from their official online store. I decided to nab those Fuzzy Tumbling Dice I mentioned in a post here a while back.

Like many American Doctor Who fans, I first became aware of the British sci-fi program back in the days when Tom Baker played the main role. (Episodes were shown on PBS station WTTW in Chicago.) Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since he began his run as the fifth version of The  Doctor. Baker’s performance inspired a young David Tennant to declare his desire to portray The Doctor, and many years later, he achieved that goal. Of the several actors who have played The Doctor, Baker and Tennant are among the ones most often cited as being the very best. Doctor Who continues to thrill fans on the BBC to this day, with actor Ncuti Gatwa now portraying the title character.

Saturday Slumgullion

Weekend Reminders

Recently, Thursday posts have focused on events that were previously mentioned on Broken Hearted Toy, and are taking place during the upcoming weekend. Plus, the occasional event taking place this weekend that has just come to my attention.

The Handcuffs will get a jump on year-end festivities with their Pre-New Year’s Eve Celebration at the Outtaspace venue in Berwyn this Saturday evening. The Chicago-based band has four albums worth of adventurous indie rock tunes to choose from for the event. Their special guests will be The Vaughan Building, a self-described “bluesy garage rock band with a pslightly psychedelic twist.” I’m assuming ‘pslightly’ is spelled that way to match ‘psychedelic.’

Sounds familiar. Saturday Morning Flashback has been a popular program on Chicago radio station WXRT since the days when the always informative and entertaining Wendy Rice served as its host. Nowadays, hosting duties are split among Frank E. Lee, Annalisa Xrt, and Johnny Mars, who are also quite good. The format remains the same—a look back at music and culture from a particular year in the distant past. The selection of years Flashback explores was only recently expanded to include the very beginning of this century. This Saturday, WXRT will break from tradition by focussing on the year we’re currently in. 2024. From 9:00 am to noon, this week’s Saturday Morning Flashback will feature Frank E. Lee delving into the music and events of the past 12 months. WXRT (93.1) is available on the Audacy app.

The Phenoms punk band will headline a four-act show this Sunday night at The Sidebar at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn, along with the Chicago-based indie rock groups The Safes; Time Thieves; and Speed Babes. The music starts at 8:00 pm.

Wisconsin-based Americana rockers The BoDeans will perform at The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL this Saturday.

The Razor and Die Annual End Of The Year Special will air from 3:00 to 6:00 pm tomorrow on Chicago independent radio station WLUW. DJ Di will only play tracks from 2024.

Manual Cinema’s Christmas Carol will wrap up its run at the Studebaker Theater / Fine Arts Building this Sunday. The production offers an adventurous take on the holiday favorite with a plot that concerns a widow attempting to carry on her husband’s annual Christmas Carol puppet show, but getting caught up in her own interpretation. The production involves “handmade puppets, immersive sound design, and live music.”  

Post Of Christmas Past

I believe last year was the first time I posted this nostalgic look back at how I became a Hollies fan and a journalist. It all ties together.

Back when I bought the 2010 vinyl reissue of The Hollies’ Hear! Here! album on the Sundazed label, I decided to keep my 1965 version even though it definitely shows its age. The jacket of that Imperial Records release is frayed and the vinyl has scratches, but I’ll always regard it as a prized possession. I’m pretty sure it was the first album I ever owned. On this day in 1966, an older brother decided to give me a copy of Hear! Here! as a Christmas present, along with the “Stop Stop Stop” single I had requested.

At that point, I only knew one song by The Hollies, but hearing jangling pop gems such as “I’m Alive,” “Look Through Any Window,” and “I’ve Been Wrong” immediately caught my attention. Their covers of the rhythm and blues standards “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” and “You Must Believe Me,” as well as Roy Orbison’s “Down The Line,” were precise and spirited. The Hollies’ originals—the touching “So Lonely” and the harder-edged “Too Many People”—showed their versatility as songwriters.

A month later, I bought their Stop Stop Stop album (For Certain Because in the UK) with money I earned from shoveling our next door neighbor’s sidewalk after the infamous Chicago big snow of 1967. My fascination with the liner notes describing the various inspirations that Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, and Tony Hicks drew upon as songwriters sparked my own life-long interest in writing. And as on Hear! Here!, the harmonies these three guys created were fantastic.

Happy Holidays to all my visitors here at Broken Hearted Toy.
