I am too distant to this music, both geographically and time-wise, to properly understand the social and musical context in the USA and during the second half of the 60s; additionally, the distribution and media coverage for garage bands in Spain was close to zero when I was into rock. However, I have to say that discovering the recordings by The Sonics, The Remains, The Standells, The Kingsmen or the Seeds some 20 years ago was quite a shock for me. How could I have missed this wonderful music? And now we have Latin-disco, trap and reggaeton all over the place!!! 😡

I have yet to explore a good part of the QMS's recorded output. But definitely I agree that their first two LPs are simply superb! Now listening:

Piano Sonata #1 from:

Supergroup in the whole meaning of the word! Talkin' about Clapton-related supergroups, next I will revisit Derek & the Dominos and Blind Faith even smaller output... But first:

They were so damned good!!!

Very easy for Ireland. Its forward pack easily took advantage in most of the plays.

Yardbirds rule! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Same here in Spain, of course! I’ve planned to watch the most interesting matches live over the weekends plus some of them during the week at dinner time, using smart TV options.

Anyone interested in this year’s Japan Rugby World Cup? Nice match between All Blacks and Springboks. 23-13 for New Zealand, with serious problems when defending open and just a few screenshots of their unbelievable mastery playing with the line. Very serious at the scrums, though. Pumas lost against France in a surprising match (20-3 for France in the first part, 18-3 for Argentina in the 2nd) and need to beat England to pass to the second round.

Marvelettes again!!!
