*Pink Floyd*

Dr. Rox Remember When?

Article #115 Sep 2020

For: Radi0 WFNU .org 94.1 FM Frogtown Radio

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

 

 

So some time ago a customer had read one of my articles and stated “I liked them better in your early days, when you wrote more of an opinion about a band or artist vs. a list of what they did. So this month I thought I’d revisit that format. As I just released my 162nd Episode of the “PsychoGello Show” on Radi0 WDGY on the band “Pink Floyd”. And I will be doing a “Pink Floyd: Evolation Show” for WFNU .org 94.1 FM Frogtown Radi0, in a month or 2. So I will use this band as the subject of my “Original Format” of my articles all the way back to April 2011.

 

> Pink Floyd< 

 

Formed in 1963 as the “Tea Set” they later changed their name to “The Pink Floyd Sound” in late 1965 after “Pink Anderson” and “Floyd Council” blues artists Syd Barrett liked.

 

The Band: 

*Bassist, Vocalist, Song Writer: George Roger Waters born 6 September 1943 in Surrey, England.

 

*Drummer: Nicholas Berkeley Mason born 27 January 1944 in Birmingham, England

 

*Keyboardist, Vocalist: Richard William Wright born 28 July 1943 in Middlesex, England; passed on 15 September 2008

 

*Vocalist, Guitarist: Roger Keith “Syd”: Barrett born 6 January 1946 in Cambridge, England; passed 7 July 2006.

 

*Guitarist Vocalist: David Jon Gilmour born 6 March 1946 in Cambridge, England.

 

So the 1st time I remember hearing about “Pink Floyd” was some time in Oct 1978, I was a huge fan of the TV Show “WKRP in Cincinnati” (I was smitten by Jan Smithers she was soooo pretty, did you know Loni Anderson was from Roseville, MN. back in the 60s). There is a scene where Dr. Johnny Fever is in a catatonic state listening to “Pink Floyd” and Mr. Carlson asks him “Do I hear dogs barking in this music?” Johnny sleepily replies “I do” I thought this was hysterical, although back then Records cost about $6.98, and I was a poor kid on the Westside of Sioux City. So buying new music I had never heard before was just not feasible.

 

The next time I experienced “Pink Floyd” was Summer 1979 on a Sunday afternoon on a Cable TV show called “Pop Clips” (Produced by Michael Nesmith formerly of The MONKEES, he later sold this show to the producers of MTV) “Pop Clips” was about 1/2 hour show that played usually current (Promo) Videos, like Triumph, Genesis, The Police, Michael Nesmith, Gary Numan, Split Enz etc … this video came on by “Pink Floyd” titled “Mademoiselle Nobs” with Waters on Guitar, Gilmour on Harmonica & Wright holding down a dog named “Nobs” that provided the Vocals of this ?song?  … I could not believe what I was hearing, much less what I was seeing …at this point it was hard for me to take this band seriously … as at this time I was really into “Black Sabbath” “RUSH” & “Triumph”

 

Onto the next time I experienced “Pink Floyd” was in Summer 1980 I was at a party at my friend Derek L. Apt. and he was sitting on the couch, having a “Smoke” and watching TV with the sound down listening to “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict” I remember standing there looking at the left speaker and thinking “What the hell is this? Why would anyone listen to this crap? Why would a band record this and release it on an album?” I asked him “What is this?” he smiled and said “Pink Floyd” I said “Oh, that explains it, why do you have the TV on with the sound turned down?” he replied “It gives me something to look at, otherwise I would fall asleep” … it was then I realized just what “Pink Floyd” was made for … something to listen to while doing drugs …. (me, no thanks)

Then I became a Senior at West High in Sioux City, a girl a year or 2 behind me Margaret S. (a fabulous Artist and Musician) rode the same bus I did, since I saw her almost everyday (and I thought she was kind of cute) we began to talk and she gave me one of my prize possessions a Cassette Tape of “RUSH: Live In St. Louis in 1980”. As we got to know each other, I began to understand her favorite band was “Pink Floyd” Now I already knew I did not like “Pink Floyd” but she  did turn me onto a song I did like “There’s No Way Out Of Here” from May 1980 by Guitarist David Gilmour of “Pink Floyd” we hung out together a lot as she dated my best friend at the time Strat (he wore a Strat belt buckle, my grandma Marge used to call him “Stuff”). Margaret used to tell me all about “Pink Floyd” I began to know more about “Pink Floyd” than I did about one of my favorite bands at the time “Triumph” ironic huh? As we were good friends she asked to accompany her to see the film “The Wall” at the Orpheum in the Summer of 1982. I went because I wanted to see what all the hubbub was all about. I remember sitting there thinking the same thing I always thought when I heard or saw “Pink Floyd”. “What the hell is this S***, and why do so many people like it?” My lasting memory of “The Wall” is  Joanne Whalley as a groupie asking “Do you want to take a bath?”

Jump to Fall of 1984 I met one of the great loves of my life Cathy C. and Paul McCartney had a new song out “No More Lonely Nights” turns out David Gilmour was the Lead Guitarist on this track. Funny thing is it was the lead guitar solo I disliked the most about this song.

 

Around Xmas ’85, I met a DJ and Record Dealer Ace of “Ace High Records” and his brother Jim, now these 2 Loved “Pink Floyd” and between the 2 of them, I learned Even more about the band then back when Margaret used to school me on the band. Still … I did not like them … I just didn’t get it. However the brothers did turn me onto “See Emily Play” “Interstellar Overdrive”  “Arnold Layne” & “Day The Tigers Broke Free” I do kind of like those songs.

 

Summer of 1986 I met a Bass Player Mike M. at “Ye Olde Guitar Shoppe” in N. Des Moines, IA. We made fast friends and began to jam and put together a band, only thing was he only wanted to play songs by: Pink Floyd, The Police, Beatles & Black Sabbath. While I love “The Beatles” & “Black Sabbath” (I do have a “Black Sabbath” tribute Band “NeVeR sAy Die”) I didn’t care much for the other 2 bands, but being a trooper I learned about 5 “Pink Floyd” songs, 7 “Police” songs and about 5 “Black Sabbath” songs, I found while I did not like listening to some of these songs I did enjoy playing them in a band, like the song “Money” ironic eh? Turns out I really did like “Comfortably Numb” & “Hey You”

 

At one point Ace & I worked together at “Wherehouse Ent.” and “Pink Floyd” was on tour in June of 1994, Everyone I knew went to see “Pink Floyd” in Ames, Iowa at Cyclone Stadium, except me, and the beautiful redhead, Lori L. that worked next door to me in Southridge Mall, we happened to be leaving at the same time this particular evening so I asked her if we want to go watch a movie, thus began our 2 month affair, thank God for “Pink Floyd”.

 

In Fall of 1995 “Wherehouse Ent.” filed for Chapter 11 and closed almost all of its Mid-West stores, my D.M. at the time Larry S. and 2 other managers from our District (Matt M & Keith S.) had a meeting about pooling together and opening our own store. Larry then offered “How do we get enough Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin & Beatles to stock this new store?” it was then I announced  “I’m out” I knew it would be an impossible task. As everyone wanted to buy “Pink Floyd” but no one was willing to sell back their “Pink Floyd” CDs (NO one wanted Vinyl back then)

 

In Fall of 1996 I was working at “Best Buy Southridge” we were coming up on Xmas-time and I noticed my store had no Pink Floyd CDs of “The Wall” “Wish You were Here” or “Animals” turns out the band had decided to go back to their old record label “Capitol-EMI” and leave “Sony” which they had been on since 1975. To this day I still do not know why?  In 2004 I was working in Burnsville Mall having been transferred there (against my will in 1999) and I hired one of the best employees I ever had who eventually became one of my best friends Wyatt B. and here again “Pink Floyd” was his favorite band so I got to learn even more about a band I did not like …. go figure, however, due to Wyatt, I did come to realize that I do like the song “Wish You Were Here” .

 

So to quote my old friend Ace High, “I forgot more about “Pink Floyd” then you’re ever going to know”

 

In Fall 2011 the “Star Tribune” was doing a story on my Record Store “Mr. Zer0’s 55113 Roseville” because “Vinyl Is Back” my response was “Is It? As I am selling the exact same artists I was selling back when I started in 1985: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin & Beatles, so to me and the people I knew, it never went away”

> N R S D <

  Vinyl Records started gaining popularity back in 2008, This is why Mr. Zer0’s Opened in April 2009 to capitalize on The Vinyl Record Trend happening back in 2008. “National Record Store Day” Was founded in April 2008 in response to the Growing Interest in Vinyl Record Albums in 2007. Why did this happen, well it was generational; Vinyl LPs were the predominant format from 1964 to 1984, In Fall of 1987 NARM and the 6 Major Record Labels at the time: WB, Sony, UNI, BMG, EMI & Polygram Unanimously Agreed to END: 99% of All Vinyl Record Production, some Independent Labels and Special One-Time limited Releases were made, and the UK & Eastern Europe continued to make Vinyl Records, but Not the USA, it’s quite simple really almost No One wanted Vinyl Records anymore in 1987.

Then Cassette took over as the Chosen Format, As the New Music Buying Public said something to the effect of “My Mom bought Records, I Buy  Cassettes” and because of Walkmans, Boom Boxes, Car Stereos and you could fit 36 cassettes in the same space it took for 5 Vinyl Records, (Cassette production Ended in 2002) until 1991 when CDs became the Format of choice, again because of Car Stereos, Boom Boxes & Walkmans, most people felt CD was a superior sound to Cassette and even Vinyl, At That Time, now the consensus seems to have changed, well until the next generation makes a choice. Then in 2000 “Napster” began to threaten CD sales, and then there was Downloading & Ipods, MP3 Players etc. Until 2007 when young people said just like the several generations before them: “My Dad did Downloading, I Buy Records”

Today there is a “N R S D” in April and Again in November of each year (except this disaster of a year 2020) Where there is a Limited Pressing of Certain Records, by only Certain Artists. In the beginning Production Numbers were usually Limited to 300 to 500, maybe a 1000, I have heard that today there may be as many as 5000 made world wide of certain titles. A miniscule amount  when compared to back in the day, say; 1991 when Garth Brooks sold 3 million of just One Of His CD Titles. That’s a -99.5% reduction in pieces production.

Tommy Bolin: Video Footage & 3rd Bday Show

Posted on by mrzeros1@gmail.com Posted in Articles — No Comments ↓
Episode #154

Tommy Bolin on Film

Dr. Rox Remember When? 

WFNU: Article #113 July 2020

By: RLSchwinden aka  MrZerr0 

 

It’s summertime, and time for the 24th Annual “Tommy Bolin Fest” in Sioux City, Iowa this year held at the “Marquee Club” on 4th St.  #712. 560. 4288. And happening now, in light of the recent success of Rockumentary Films like: QUEEN, Motley Crue & Elton John, in production as I write this, is a film on Tommy Bolin (I was a consultant for the 2nd script draft back in 2012). So this month I thought I would cover the “Known” Footage on Tommy Bolin throughout his career 1968 to 1976, including: ZEPHYR, ENERGY, JAMES GANG, DEEP PURPLE & SOLO. As there is not a lot of film footage out there on Tommy and NO DVDs of the known footage.

And because of the “Covid19” Lockdown I decided to launch a New Audio Show for CD & Website Only. Since I was not allowed to go down to the WFNU Station during the lockdown and my Bands could not play out during the “Lockdown” so I needed something to do.  It is “Dr. Rox Remember When?” which is a different take on some of my favorite Albums. Shows in the planning stages: Beatles, KISS & Monkees, and the very 1st one “Tommy Bolin’s Teaser”. Here is the Track List for the Very 1st Show:

WDGY: PsychoGello Show

“Mr. Zer0’s Extended Radio Shows”

WFNU Article #111 May 2020

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

   Hello, Hello I’m back again, It is I, MrZerr0. This month I thought I would cover my personal Landmarks in my own radio shows. Because in 1992 (for KIOA in Iowa) I had the idea to do 1 hour radio shows on the bands I love, but without a Producer I was unable to do this project. But now with the aid of Keith J. & WDGY & Rick B. & WFNU I have been able to create many, several hour radio shows on the bands I love. So I put together a list of the extended radios I have created on the artists I love. I fully realize that some of these may not be in your own personal wheel house, but maybe take a listen anyway, you might just find you like something new and different, and if you already like the band, maybe you’ll learn something new. You can listen to the WFNU “Evolation” Programs at MixClould.Com under Mr. Zer0’s. Hear the WDGY “PsychoGello Shows” at MrZeroS.Com -Podcast. Let us begin…

The Extended Radi0 Shows:

*Monkees:

on KISS: You like Facts don’t you?

Posted on by mrzeros1@gmail.com Posted in Articles — No Comments ↓
By: RLSchwinden

Sorry folks ….This is in response to all the TIRED Jokes, “Another Farewell Tour” “They Phoned It In” “They Are Only In It For The Money”

Well, this is a little biased as a KISS fan of 44 Years (and StarChild in the Tribute Band: KISSin Time,

However 1st Thing: KISS has only announced 1 other “Farewell Tour” in the year 2000, it was a Farewell to “Ace & Peter” (the original Lineup); there was the 1996 Reunion Tour, the 1997, 2nd Leg of the Reunion Tour, the 1998 “Psycho Circus Tour”.

2nd thing: a minimum of 40% of the attendees went because Tickets became as cheap as $24.oo, and THEY Had Never Seen KISS before and needed yet another reason to go out Drinking (I’d bet Alcohol sales were over $1 Million Dollars, last night alone) ….

3rd: MOST People Missed the The Fact KISS Stated this Tour will Last 2.5 Years !!!!!!! As for “Phoned in” … well they did pretty good for the Youngest member of the band being 60, YES Sixty … and the oldest being 70 …. Are they in it for the Money …. DUH ! They Do Not work at a RecordStore 10 Months a year, or have a Morning Talk Radio Show as a a DJ, or Investment Bankers in a Cover Band playing the Mythe. They Are One of the Most recognizable Bands IN ROCK AND ROLL, ever … THAT IS THEIR JOB ! (Fool) And YOU The Music Listener STOPPED for the most part BUYING CDS, Cassettes and Vinyl, (you’d rather hear their WORK for free on some tiny sliver of a mp3 stream, that only pays itself for providing the service), so IF YOU Refuse to Buy The band’s Product How Do They Make a Living to pay their bills and provide for their families? Well, I’ll tell you , TOURING. To that I say ALL CEOs should do their Job for free now too, as they are only in it for the money, or maybe Waitress’ too for that matter, or do they do their work for the love of serving the public, or how about Uber Drivers, don’t they already own their vehicle, I’d like a free ride and not pay for parking, …

IF No One was Buying what KISS is $ELLING … then why, NO HOW could they continue to $ELL it to the Fans ….. Some People NEED a Band Like KISS in their Life, Because they were the nerd picked on in School, maybe they have or had a bad home life and need to escape, maybe they can not find a girl to like- love them for themself and not what that person Will provide for her, maybe  they have a vivid imagination and want to be more than a, electrician, a welder, a bus driver etc. KISS Inspired thousands of People into the ARTS, Music, Movies, Comics etc. (You know all the STUFF You Love, but Refuse to Pay for …)

Do they move on stage like the used to NO, are they better musicians then the were 40 years ago … absolutely, YES. Unfortunately Paul Stanley does Sing Along To A Pre-Recorded Vocals Track, that is what happens when you are the lead singer of a band that has toured steadily for 46 years, funny thing is YOU ALL LOVE The Half Time “Acts” (I call them Live Dancers) at the Stupid Bowl …Let Me Clue You In … That is ALL PRE- Recorded TOOO ….(oh, no … now what ?) I was Told Eric Singer (the NEW Drummer of almost 30 years), mimes the piano … well so do Actors on TV & Films … big deal. KISS came back to St. Paul to entertain you one last time … as far as I am concerned they did … Especially for $24.oo, for crying out loud Parking cost more than that. And most people spent 3 times that much on beer last night, So stop your sobbing, be entertained and enjoy The Show, MrZerrO

“Facts Are Facts”
Dr. Rox Remembers When?”
Feb 2020: Article #108 for WFNU
By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0

Sorry, just because  YOU like a song or the “Classic Stations” Play a song (usually to death), does not necessarily make it a Hit ! Starting  in 1961 Billboard Magazine started tracking play counts and sales, for true “Hit” status. So many years ago, I made a CD of KISS’ “Greatest Hits” because I was sick of the “Hits” CDs the band was putting out at the time, they seemed to be more of “The Songs We Like” CDs which constitutes a “Best Of”. So I went and did ALL Of The Necessary Research. And here IS KISS’ Greatest Hits in order of their Billboard Charts Success:

Top 10
Beth/ Detroit Rock City: #7 Dec 1976
Forever #8 Apr 1990

Top 20
I Was Made For Lovin You #11 Aug 1979
Rock And Roll All Nite: Live #12 Jan 1976
New York Groove #13 Feb 1979
Hard Luck Woman #15 Feb 1977
Calling Dr. Love #16 May 1977

Top 40
Christine Sixteen #25 Sep 1977
Shout It Out Loud #31 Apr 1976
Rocket Ride #39 Apr 1978

Top 100
Hold Me, Touch Me #46 Dec 1978
Sure Know Something #47 Oct 1979
Shandi #47 July 1980
Radioactive #47 Jan 1979
Heavens On Fire #49 Nov 1984
Tears Are Falling #51 Nov 1986
World Without Heroes #56 Jan 1982
Love Gun #61 Oct 1977
Reason To Live #64 Jan 1988
Crazy Crazy Nights #65 Oct 1987
Lick It Up #66 Dec 1983
Hide Your Heart #66 Dec 1989
Rock And Roll All Nite (studio) #68 June 1975
Flaming Youth #74 June 1976
Rise To It #81 June 1990
Kissin Time #83 June 1974
Lets Put X In Sex #97 Jan 1989

​

Now starting in about January 1985 MTV was in Total control of a Songs popularity especially when it came to sales of singles and or albums (in general, Vinyl was the predominant format until 1984 when Cassettes took over until 1991 when CDs took over until about 2005) on the Billboard Charts. Many songs were popular Music Videos on MTV, but did not sell well on Vinyl Singles or Cassingles or even CD5 Singles, some had NO accompanying Single at all, therefore these songs did NOT or could Not Chart. You like facts don’t you?

Such as these songs for KISS:
I Love It Loud -1982
All Hells Breakin Loose -1983
Who Wants To Be Lonely -1985
God Gave Rock N Roll To You 2 -1991
Unholy -1992
Domino -1992

​So there are 2 ways to make this “Hits” CD in Charting Success order or in Chronological Order. My personal preference would be the later so the listener can hear how the band evolved.

Mr. Zer0’s on the Radi0: Year #3

Mr. Zer0’s on the Radi0

Dr. Rox Time Machine 

WFNU Article #106 Jan 2020

By: RLSchwinden aka MrZerr0 

 

Greetings Fans,

So it’s an all New Year, and year #9 of me writing these articles for you. I was puzzled as to what to write about this year, and then it dawned on me, driving on my way to work at Mr. Zer0’s 55113 in Roseville. I will write about each months radio shows, as I have 2 weekly shows and a 3rd one every 3rd week. The reason I will write about them; when I tell people I have a several Radi0 shows, they immediately respond “Oh, Podcast, doesn’t everybody these days” and they also think it’s just me drowning on for a half hour or so. It Is in fact a Music Show one a certain Band with some commentary on the history of that particular artist. And In fact they are broadcast over the airwaves 1st … then made available on-line, for others to hear! Since most do not understand what I am trying to present to them, I decided I will cover “Briefly” each months Radi0 Shows, in case they may want to on on-line to hear the past Programs.

 

So my main Radi0 Show; “PsychoGello Show” Since May 2017 is on Radi0 WDGY 7am Sundays. And Past Episodes can be heard at www. MrZer0s.Com – Podcast. I am up to 130 as of this Article. WDGY: 740AM, FM: 92.1, 103.7, 107.1 & Streaming.

 

My 2nd show; “Evolation Show” with my Co-Host Rick Burnett is actually in its 2nd time around, Since July 2019 (the 1st time though was from Oct 2018 to April 2019). Is on Radi0 WFNU Fridays at 8am and Wednesdays at Noon. I have delivered #25 Programs as of this Article.

 

The 3rd show I am actually a Guest Co-Host on Rick Burnett’s “Hits And History Show” since November 2018, I have delivered 15 Episodes as of the writing of this article. WFNU .org 94.1 FM Frogtown Radi0. Find the past shows at MixCloud.Com under Mr. Zer0’s Evolation and Hits And History

So it’s that time again, Christmas time is here again, ain’t been round since who knows when. When I started in the Music Biz back in 1985, I started making Rock ‘N Roll Christmas Cassettes to paly in my store since there were not many Rock ‘N Roll Christmas albums out back then, and in 1999 I started making Christmas CDs.  And since 2017 I began to make Rock ‘N Roll Christmas Radio Shows! So now  it’s time for Mr. Zero’s Annual Xmass Shows. This year has been a unique opportunity! As I have 3 different radio shows on 2 different stations, pretty cool huh ?
