As someone that worked with David Peel, who passed away last month, I knew about Danny, and various people recommended that I see this documentary. I knew that Danny not only helped get Peel signed to […] I’m a bit swamped by various things going on right now, so I won’t be assemble a fresh blog post this week. Instead, I’ll simply recycle and update a posting from the past for a “Flashback Friday”… Three years ago, my friend Christopher Doll, of Rutgers University, gave a special presentation at the […] Last week, Orme Radio of Italy celebrated International LOUIE LOUIE Day with a lively 90 minute special! They closed the show with a wonderful LOUIE I’d never heard before – a French band known as Calamity Jeanne, the Pocket Orchestra. Here’s a little description they provided of themselves, translated by the Google Language Tools […] My old friend David Peel died a few days ago. Believe it or not, he actually had a connection to this LOUIE project. Years ago, before I ever even thought about LOUIE LOUIE and this documentary project, I wound up working with David Peel.

There were long lines wrapped around the Temple Theatre before it opened, and when the show started, every seat was occupied. If not for family commitments, I would have been there. In lieu of attending, […] Years ago, Matt Groening came up with a brilliant flowchart for musical roots. I’m thinking there’s at least 10, if not 20 of these special categories that could easily apply to the evolution of the song LOUIE LOUIE. Yes, once again… its that special time of the year! Celebrating the spirit of Christmas and the always-relevent theme of recycling, we bring you a semi-modern classic holiday LOUIE mutant-bastard recording by one of our favorite musical pranksters, the legendary Mojo Nixon! Happy Holidays from LouieLouie.net! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Ou3sLcP7g […] It’s time to point the mighty LOUIE LOUIE spotlight at an oldie but goodie…. Stiv Bators (aka Steven John Bator), the singer from The Dead Boys and The Lords of the New Church, who lived from October 22, 1949 until June 4, 1990, once recorded an inspired version of LOUIE LOUIE, which used different […] |
