Here’s my weekly reminder to tune into Sinking with Sylvia (and Sometimes Todd) on Little Radio Thursday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Tomorrow their guests will be The Minor Canon who don’t get all the credit they deserve. If you haven’t picked up their latest album, I recommend it.
As you know, I get to pick one track each week for the radio program as the official You Set the Scene pick. My pick on 10/4/07 was Mick Jagger’s “Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup).” I picked this track, because I’d just gotten Mick Jagger’s Greatest Hits and this caught my ear and eye first. The track’s an old Willie Dixon tune but this recording dates back to a 1975 session in LA with John Lennon. Other than the obvious (a collaboration between a Stone and a Beatle) I was also intrigued because it’s part of Lennon’s Lost Weekend. Basically Lennon and Yoko were having marital woes and Lennon moved away to LA with their assistant May Pang who is 17 years younger than Yoko. Pang and Lennon lived together for about 18 months (part of it in LA, part of it in NYC) while Lennon drank and snorted coke (allegedly) with Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, Alice Cooper and Ringo Starr. Anyway, it’s an interesting time in Lennon’s life and this Jagger track is a lot of fun. Jagger claims he’d forgotten about it, but they found a copy under May Pang’s bed.

I'd do her.
PS She doesn't except add requests from bands.

Kip Winger is eveyone's top friend.
