Jangle!

This show finds us investigating the iconic 60s sound of jangle - we start with the most famous treble-makers of the decade, The Byrds and their beautiful 1965 B-side, "She Don't Care About Time" (1:16).  Erik diagrams the science of jangle and we do a deep dive on Gene Clark's inscrutable, ineffable lyrics. And those harmonies!! Next, go deeper into the jangle jungle with 1966's "You Wouldn't Listen" by The Ides of March (1:07:58). These Chicago cacophonists add some R&B flavour, doo-wop vocal swoons and garage lyrical tropes to create a mélange of secret sophistication.  We did listen!! Our final chunk of chime is "I Find I Think of You" by Kent, Ohio's The Measles (1:43:07). This 66'er features possibly the first recorded appearance of The Clown Prince of Rock - Joe Walsh, who wrote this slow, stately, jangle dream. (with some jazz flourishes on the drums!) - life's been good to us this episode!!
