DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Route 66
« on: July 20, 2022, 10:23:56 AM »
I’m not sure if you guys are into theatre but there’s an off broadway musical called Route 66. It includes 3 Jan Berry compositions. Little Old Lady. Dead Man’s Curve. And Move Out Little Mustang. Pretty cool. You can listen to samples at StageRights.com.

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Marvelous Wonderettes
« on: June 08, 2022, 01:58:31 PM »
My wife and I went to see the Marvelous Wonderettes at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival theatre. Before the play, music from 1958 was playing and Jennie Lee by Jan and Arnie was blasting loudly. I said. Hey that’s Jan! My wife told me to pipe down lol

There’s a lot of footage we haven’t seen. Jan and Arnie has several. I’m pretty sure there is a Heart and Soul appearance that’s not available.

That would be nice. But the release that I’m hoping for is the live Hullabaloo concert. I know we have portions of it in Filet of Soul. But I’d love a new album release of that entire Jan and Dean set!

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Website is fantastic!

I just want to say that this website is awesome! Full of great information, pictures and interviews. At home I read the books. But when I’m at work or on the road, this site answers all my questions. Thank you Mark for all the work you put into this!

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Re: Jan's '70s and '80s tunes and a question about the 1975 "Sidewalk Surfin'"

I’m not so sure how much “Feel Flows” did for The Beach Boys. I don’t think there’s a lot of excitement around them anymore. Burton. You make a good point. People are moving past all that stuff. A movie featuring LOLFP would be great. There are other songs too. Even though Brian’s name is on some of them. I think Dead Man’s Curve would still get respect from a production stand point. It’s funny. The video I posted with Brian getting interviewed in 1964. He says he wrote all of Jan and Deans recent hits. Which was disappointing. But when he was listing the Beach Boy hits. She said LOLFP. He said that’s Jan and Dean. And she completely ignored that and mentioned it 2 more times. Almost like LOLFP was the only song she knew and he didn’t write that one. Lol. He was getting aggravated.
Mark’s recent books will help set the record straight. A lot of people may not care anymore. But I do. I’m continuously getting amazed at Jan’s productions. Arrangements. And compositions. Even if most of the world doesn’t care about it. I always will

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Brian Wilson
« on: March 17, 2022, 03:52:35 AM »
This is an interview with Brian in 1964 from a clueless interviewer. Fast forward to about 2 minutes in. Unfortunately. Brian says he’s written several Jan and Dean songs from Surf City on up. But it’s still a cute interview and I don’t think Brian was purposely trying to take full credit. It was a rushed interview

I’m not against SFARD. I said I liked it. It’s just weird with all the hits available. That’s all

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Spotify
« on: February 28, 2022, 06:42:16 PM »
On Spotify. Pocket full of Rainbows by Dean is on the Top 5 for Jan and Dean. How is that? Don’t get me wrong. I like Deans album. But with Drag City. Honolulu Lulu. Baby Talk. Etc. available. It doesn’t make sense

I’m listening to it. Played Surf City and Baby Talk. Then went to Oh What a Night by Frankie Valli. It’s just a typical station that plays music from the era and mixes in songs from the artist. Sidewalk Surfin playing now. All original recordings which is good 👍

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Re: Press Release (New Book) — Dead Man's Curve: The Rock 'n' Roll Life of Jan Berry

I just finished the book. Once again, you out did yourself Mark. Fantastic book from cover to cover! One minor error: Appendix C has the movie Blast from the Past playing Dean’s Surf City.
Actually the version was the original from’63.
Thank you for your hard work! It was worth it. I hope it becomes a movie 🎥

DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT / Spotify hack?
« on: July 24, 2021, 05:06:56 AM »
On Jan and Dean Spotify there’s a song called No Slack. It’s a terrible rap song credited to Jan and Dean. It’s not them of course. Weird

Yep maybe Mark would know about Time and Space. I know it wasn’t a Jan Berry production. I’m not sure Liberty would have any rights to it.

I hate to admit this but I like the cover. It had a sunshine pop feel when that was popular
