BACK TO THE FUTURE | A RETRO HI FI IN A DARK & COZY MAN CAVE
Listening to music properly has a lot to do with having the right environment. A place that’s all your own. I like the warm glow from the perfect level of indirect,
low lighting. I want to be surrounded by my favorite things to look at. And I long for seating that you just melt into and disappear in. And another thing– I love my iPod
as much as the next guy– but sometimes there are those moments when you need to break out the turntable and throw on some old records. The warm hiss and
crackle of needle on vinyl is like hearing your mother’s voice in the womb. Which is what a man cave really is– a dark, personal, intimate womb.
When we first moved to New Jersey, we bought a great old Dutch Colonial home previously owned by an Italian family– the guy’s name was Nick. The basement he
built-out was the clincher. It was like a retro 60s gentleman’s club– red and black lacquer paneled walls, mirrors, a full bar with turntable, and even a pool table which
they were good enough to leave behind. I’ll never forget the two framed portraits hanging side by side behind the bar– The Pope & Frank Sinatra. Welcome to Jersey
– I loved it. I spent many an evening down there with lights down low, the sound of billiard balls slamming hard into a corner pocket, always perfect tunes in the
background, and a cold one. Now I’m in a house with no man cave and going insane…
Retro 1960s Hi Fi stereo equipment and mid century modern furniture– great old Tulip table.
Cozy retro man cave w/ Eames chair, animal hide rug, art, books & hi fi– Done.
1960s retro bachelor pad w/ cozy conversation pit.
1960s retro bachelor bedroom.
Retro bubble stereo.
Retro turntable ad and shagadelic seating.
Retro modern modular pad.
The ultimate modern shagedelic master bathroom w/ awesome niches. So Lenny Kravitz circa 2000.
Retro modern music den.
1970s retro bachelor pad– someone’s a real pimp.
Retro modern organic conversation pit.
Retro modern man cave with a very eclectic mix of world clocks, maps, fishing rods, and modern pieces.

Judy Collins - Both Sides Now (1968) HQ
Home:
http://www.judycollins.com/
MUNROWS RETRO
As a young person listening to this song, one could easily get lost in the first part dealing
with clouds and miss the rest. It is presented as a life long drama, in fact, in three parts,
where the character singing never fully realizes what has been happening in her life. Despite
her ability of seeing her experiences from "both sides" as she matures, the meaning of her
life sadly remains unresolved to the very end: "I really don't know life, at all." The song's
beauty almost hides the blues and tragedy in the lyrics ... but not quite.
Written by Joni Mitchell in March 1967, it was one of several songs Mitchell gave to Judy Collins
to record for Collins' album Wildflowers. According to Wikipedia, by gifting this song to Collins and
other songs to other folk singers, it allowed her to sign with Reprise Records and record her debut
album, Song To A Seagull, in 1968. Judy Collins' cover of "Both Sides Now" was released as a single
in October 1968. It reached #6 in Canada and #8 on Billboard and Cash Box on December 7, 1968.
Although multiple sources were used for the footage, most of this video stars the lovely professional
model, dancer, actress, AND photographer, Raphaella McNamara.
Judy Collins and Stephen Stills, Sag Harbor, NY 1969
© Graham Nash, 1969
"This was when Crosby, Stills and Nash were rehearsing the first record. Our friend John Sebastian said,
'We want you to be out of Los Angeles, out of all that scene, just to be private, to rehearse that first record.'
So he suggested that we go to Sag Harbor, just outside of New York on Long Island. He rented us a house,
and of course Stephen was madly in love with Judy Collins, as she was with him. She said something about
something – she was giving him advice. That's the moment when she's kissing him on the cheek, and her right
hand is giving him the advice."

Badfinger - No Matter What (promo film - Wales) (1970)
`They Sold A Million` Badfinger BBC documentary
Wiki: Badfinger (band)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badfinger
PlanetProjectEvents
Badfinger were a British rock band that originally consisted of Pete Ham, Mike Gibbins, Tom Evans and Joey Molland.
The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David "Dai" Jenkins
in Swansea, Wales. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys. In 1969 Griffiths left and was
replaced by Molland, and the band renamed itself Badfinger.
Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney),
"No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue". Their song "Without You" has been covered many times, including a Billboard
number one hit for Harry Nilsson.
In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five
years the band recorded several albums for Apple and toured extensively, but became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution.
They signed to Warner Bros., but Polley's financial machinations resulted in a lawsuit by Warner over missing escrow account money.
Warner's consequent withdrawal from market of the 1974 album, Wish You Were Here (seven weeks after its release), cut off the band's income.
Three days before his 28th birthday, on 24 April 1975, Ham committed suicide by hanging himself, leaving a note that included damning
comments about Polley.
Over the next three years, surviving members struggled to rebuild their personal and professional lives against a backdrop of lawsuits.
The albums Airwaves (1978) and Say No More (1981) floundered, as Molland and Evans see-sawed between cooperation and struggle in
attempts to revive and capitalise on the Badfinger legacy. Having seen Ham's body after Ham's wife had called him, Evans reportedly never
got over his friend's suicide, and was quoted as saying in darker moments, "I wanna be where he is." On 19 November 1983, Evans also
took his own life by hanging.
After receiving an invitation from Collins, Beatles' roadie/assistant Mal Evans and Apple Records' A&R head Peter Asher saw
them perform at the Marquee Club, London, on 25 January 1968. Afterward, Evans consistently pushed their demo tapes to every Beatle
until he gained approval from all four to sign the group. The demos were accomplished using a mono "sound-on-sound" tape recorder:
two individual tracks bouncing each overdub on top of the last. Mal Evans' support ultimately led to their signing with Apple on 23 July 1968
-- the first non-Beatle recording artists on the label. Each of The Iveys' members were also signed to Apple Corps' publishing contracts.
The group's first single, "Maybe Tomorrow", was released worldwide on 15 November 1968. It reached the Top Ten in several European countries
and Japan, but only number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and failed to chart in the UK. The US manager of Apple Records, Ken Mansfield,
ordered 400,000 copies of the single—considered to be a bold move at the time in the music business—and pushed for automatic airplay and
reviews from newspapers, which he secured. Nevertheless, Mansfield remembered the problems: "We had a great group. We had a great record.
We were missing just one thing ... the ability to go out and pick up people, and convince them to put their money on the counter" A second Tom
Evans composition, "Storm in a Teacup", was included on an Apple EP promoting Wall's Ice Cream, along with songs by Apple artists such as James Taylor,
Mary Hopkin and Jackie Lomax. The chart success of "Maybe Tomorrow" in Europe and Japan led to a follow-up single release in those markets in July 1969:
Griffiths' "Dear Angie". An LP titled Maybe Tomorrow was released only in Italy, Germany and Japan. This was thought to be the work of Apple Corps' president,
Allen Klein, as an Apple Corps' press officer, Tony Bramwell, remembered: "He [Klein] was saying, 'We're not going to issue any more records until
I sort out this mess'
Ham's suicide and a break-up
With their current album suddenly withdrawn and their follow-up rejected, Badfinger spent the early months of 1975 trying to figure out how to
proceed under the unclear legal situation. Salaries were no longer arriving and panic set in, especially for Ham, who had recently bought a £30,000
house in Woking, Surrey, and whose girlfriend was expecting a child. According to Jackson, the band tried to continue without Polley's involvement
by contacting booking agents and prospective managers throughout London, but they were routinely declined because of their restrictive contracts
with Polley and impending legal actions. Ham reportedly tried on many occasions to contact Polley by telephone during the early months of 1975,
but was never able to reach him.
Badfinger - Name Of The Game (1971) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
Also entitled "The Name Of The Game" on some recordings, including CD anthologies. This track
is my favorite from the Badfinger album, Straight Up, which I own on vinyl (purchased in 1972)
and on CD. I regard Straight Up to be among those most perfect LPs that were released in 1971
and 1972. "Name Of The Game" was to be released as a single, but circumstances left it as a very
popular FM radio hit. It is one of the saddest songs I know.
