prelude to 2007 ALBUMS of the YEAR list

it's getting to that time of year again when bloggers, music writers, and nerdy music fanatics make their year end top 10 lists for the year. i was thinking it over and i really haven't tried to keep up with the contemporary indie scene to even make a top 5 list, i'm not even sure if i've listened to five 2007 albums. plus, anyone who knows me knows that i pretty much only listen to 60's and 70's music exclusively, with contemporary indie being the exception to the rule. with that in mind when thinking about the top albums of year, i've decided to do a top 10 for 1967 and 1977, because the album releases those years are so much better and more influential. i'm not trying to downplay 2007 as much as i am completely praising '67 and '77. said post will be rocking, with album cover art and youtube/mp3 links and historical commentary from yours truely. i'm gonna spend a couple more days writing all that up, but in the mean time, a topic, rather, bunch of videos i really dig, has come up in my mind. ..brought to you by viewers like you, support public broadcasting!

ROCKIN MOMENTS IN CHILDREN's TELEVISION HISTORY.

Stevie Wonder and his 1972 band Wonderlove performing the theme from Sesame Street.

and then performing Superstition with a bunch of pre-toddlers rocking the fuck out!!

Mr. Rogers knew how to be a B-Boy before any of you!!

i highly suggest watching this clip, it's Mr. Rogers going in front of a Senate Committee that wanted to take away funding for public broascasting in 1969. Mr. Rogers changes his mind in 6 minutes....
