THE MONKEES: DAYDREAM BELIEVERS
Hey! Hey! They were plucked from obscurity to
become the Pre-Fab Foursome and turned into a
musical sensation with massive hits like "I'm a
Believer" and "Steppin' Stone." They brought the
playfulness of pop to television screens throughout
the late '60s. Taking on the roles of Davy, Micky,
Mike and Peter, Jeff Giddis, George Stanchev, L. B.
Fisher and Aaron Lohr get on the last train to
Clarksville.

Tork's Through Monkeeing Around
Monday, June 05, 2000
TV reruns of The Monkees and an upcoming made-for-TV movie based on the 1960s
pop phenom are about as close as we'll ever get to seeing the band perform
together again, according to original Monkee Peter Tork.
Tork tells TV Guide Online that he's still hopping mad at former bandmate
Michael Nesmith for suddenly dropping out of the band's last U.S. reunion
tour back in March 1997. Tork, who stays in touch with former Monkees Davy
Jones and Micky Dolenz, says he hasn't spoken with Nesmith since the snub and
says that the odds of another reunion are "very slim."
"Michael's in a force field of his own and not much gets in there," says
Tork. "I think everybody's good and angry at Michael and I think justifiably.
All he did was inform the manager, 'I don't think I'm gonna make it.' Yeah,
right. Well, suit yourself, pal, nobody can force you."
Tensions between the band members come as the Monkees are enjoying yet
another resurgence in popularity. VH1 is preparing a Monkees Behind the Music
(June 11) and TV-movie (June 28), and TV reruns of The Monkees are now airing
in syndication as part of the Screen Gems Network (check local listings).
"If you had told me back then that the show would be in reruns and people
would be calling me for interviews on the matter almost 35 years later, I
would have gone, 'Oh yeah? That's kind of interesting,' " says Tork, 58, who
today tours with musician James Lee Stanley and with the group Shoe Suede
Blues (see petertork.com).
"There is no more personal satisfaction in playing for 5,000 or 20,000 or
100,000 than there is in playing for 20 or 30 or 100 or 150," he says. "I get
off as a musician playing in the blues band, which is not the case with the
Monkees. I would do the Monkees if the money was right, but for the same
money I would do the Shoe Suede Blues every time."

Davy mention in a story about infomercials:
Mr. Somach was one of the early pioneers in the development and production of so-called long form music infomercials. He worked with Wolfman Jack on the first ever 30-minute music infomercial promoting Solid Gold Rock `n Roll, which sold in excess of $15 million. He followed up with Sixty Greatest Hits of the Sixties with Davy Jones of the Monkees.

The Learning Kingdom's Cool Word of the Day for May 31, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Davy Jones [n. DAY-vee JONZ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sailors call the spirit of the sea Davy Jones. This personification
of the bottom of the sea was often considered malicious, a sea devil.
The most common usage of this noun is in the expression Davy Jones'
Locker. Someone who is thrown overboard or buried at the bottom of
the ocean is said to have gone to Davy Jones' Locker.
While there are some who may have wished this fate on Davy Jones of
the Monkees, there is no connection between the television star and
sailor lore.
One suggestion is that there was a pirate named Davy Jones who made
his many victims walk the plank. Another suggests that a barkeep
named Davy Jones kept a drugged rum in his locker that he would serve
to unsuspecting customers who would find themselves enlisted in a
marine venture when they woke up.
The most likely explanation is that Davy is from St. David, a patron
saint called upon by Welsh sailors, and that Jones was inspired by
Jonah (the biblical figure swallowed by a whale).

(Video clips of the new Monkees movie for PC users:)
http://www.vh1.com/insidevh1/shows/mtrock/monkees/
I was one of the biggest skeptics, but judging from the clips I just saw, I
am SOOOOOO looking forward to this movie! Nothing we haven't heard before,
really, but seems to be done very well. Heavy on the drugs and girls
content.
My favorite line from the clips: During Davy's audition, one guy says "Think
of how many teen magazines that face will sell." The other guy says "Think of
how many teen magazines he'll have to stand on to be seen."
Enjoy!

This sad news is just in from Ellie Sumiyoshi in Japan:
Hi,
Just want to let you know the news.
Unfortunately it isn't a good one though.
Mr. Daisuke(Akio) Inoue, a songwriter of "Dance Gypsy" committed suicide on
30th May.
Ms. Reiko Yukawa who wrote a lyrics of the song had worked together with him
for many years.
He was a great, talented songwriter who wrote more than 1,000 top hits
includes numerous CM songs and Japanese pops.
He'd taken care of his wife who has neurosis for over twenty years.
But, tragically had he also been suffered from detachment of the retina and
could scarcely see music these days.
In Japan, we say that it rains when a man of virtue died.
Literally it's raining now and so was the day the former prime Minister, Mr.
Keizo Obuchi passed away.
I sincerely pray his soul may rest in peace.
Yours,
Ellie Sumiyoshi

For those of you who have access to BBC Radio 4, you might be interested
in tuning in to the July 12th broadcast of the comedy panel show "I'm
Sorry I Haven't A Clue" (which airs at 6:30 p.m. UK time and repeats on
Sunday, June 18th at noon). Friends who were at the taping for this
episode report that the Monkees song "I'm a Believer" was used in a
round of "Pick Up Song". For those of you who are unfamiliar with the
show, I'll explain that this round involves one of the contestants
singing along with a recording of a song. The volume of the recording
is then turned down while the contestant continues to the sing, in an
attempt to be in time with the recording when the volume is eventually
turned back up. Since the contestants are all comedians the results of
the game are usually quite funny. The performance of "I'm a Believer"
was especially amusing, given the fact that the live audience at the
taping spontaneously joined in by providing the "da doo doo, doo doo's"
between the lines.
Here's hoping that this round is included in the actual broadcast!

Message from Band 6 - 8th June, London, England.
Peter made an appearance as guest of the day on The Big Breakfast on England's Channel 4 TV station, live from London.
He wore black denim jeans, black boots and an open-neck black, blue and yellow/orange shirt. Looked really cool and awake considering it was 7:20 am.
Peter talked with presenter Lisa Tarbuck about the UK tour and how Chris Conway (described by Peter as a fine acoustic singer/songwriter) will open the show with a set, followed by James Lee Stanley, followed by Peter. Then Peter and James will do a set as a duo and finally Chris will join them on stage for a final song.
As well as promoting the tour Peter spoke about the reality of musicianship in the Monkees and how all of them are musically talented, the truth about him leaving the Monkees and NOT buying himself out of the contract, and the success of the various Monkee re-unions down the years, culminating in the UK tour of 1997.
After his interview (which also included some flirting with Lisa!) Peter stayed in the studio and could be seen throughout the remainder of the programme at various times in other segments, and participated in the morning reading of national newspaper headlines, holding up the front pages.
He looked gorgeous with his short spiky blond hair and beard and seemed very relaxed and happy to be on the show.

Last night on the CBS TV movie "Now & Then", starring Rosie O'Donell, Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith, Christine Ricci, Rita Wilson, & Other cast members. There was a bedroom scene where one of the girls was brushing her hair out and talking, when the song "Daydream Believer" started playing. Hope you got a chance to see the movie.

Greetings Earthling!
This Monday, 19 June 2000, at Noon Pacific Daylight Savings Time [1900
UTC], we will begin taking orders for THE MONKEES 'Headquarters Sessions'.
This is an 84-track 3-CD set which contains 60 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED
recordings and which also, most delightfully, includes the complete
original MONO version of the album on compact disc for, as they say on
TV, "the first time anywhere".
Lovingly compiled by longtime MONKEES Archivists/Experts Andrew Sandoval
and Bill Inglot, THE MONKEES 'Headquarters Sessions' collects almost four
hours of unique audio insight into the 'Headquarters' album recording
process including almost three-and-one-half-hours of alternate takes,
demos, backing tracks, recording session audio hijinx and MONO masters
never before preserved on compact disc.
It will be available in an individually-numbered limited edition of 4,500
copies. Or, to put it another way, One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five
Per Monkee.
We all know the story.
From their pre-fab inception THE MONKEES albums were the brainchild of
the marketing division of the television arm of a motion picture studio.
And at the head of this arm was the foot of Don Kirshner.
THE MONKEES started being Actors playing the parts of Musicians singing
songs written by and selected for them by Others. That some of them were,
in fact, already Actual Musicians In Real Life was merely amusingly
anecdotal to The Machine which churned out their New Episode Every Week.
In 1967, this changed. After a series of creative tug-of-wars, Mr
Kirshner was relieved of his responsibilities for the creation of
MONKEES' music and Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky
Dolenz were -for the first time ever- given creative control over the
making of a MONKEES album. They were now in reality just as they had
always been on the small screen: A Band.
The album they were about to create was, of course, 'Headquarters'.
'Headquarters' was originally released on 20 May 1967. A month later it
was Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. One week after that it was
replaced at the top of the chart when THE BEATLES released 'Sgt Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band'. 'Headquarters' then went to Number Two where it
remained for almost the next three months.
And telling you that brings us back to this Rhino Handmade release which
we now most humbly -yet most heartily- present.
'Headquarters' was recorded, as most albums are, in layers. For example,
percussion tracks are recorded separately from guitar tracks which are
also recorded separately from vocal tracks. Then, to make the final
stereo (or mono) recording, all of these multi-tracks are mixed down to
two stereo tracks (or one mono track).
THE MONKEES 'Headquarters Sessions' collects all of the vocal masters
that were not included on the original stereo album as well as all of the
surviving vocal demos and a few tracks with vocals which were never
completed. However, the beefy middle of this tasty digital triple-decker
is the collection of PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED instrumental backing track
sessions (both for familiar and previously unknown compositions),
rehearsals, spoken word oddities and studio chatter and, to top it all
off, the MONO masters in an originally proposed, but ultimately unused,
running order.
The Archivists at The Rhino Handmade Institute Of Petromusicology have
wrapped up all of this Unheard Audio Splendidness in a gatefold digipack
with a 32-page booklet filled with photographs, a day-to-day chronology,
track notes as well as other appropriately interesting ephemera.
We invite you to put on your headphones (or turn up your speakers) and
put yourself smack dab in the middle of RCA Studio C in Hollywood and
enjoy the making of 'Headquarters' as only THE MONKEES, their producer
and their engineer had heretofore ever been able to do.
THE MONKEES 'Headquarters Sessions' is available in an
individually-numbered limited edition of 4,500 (four thousand five
hundred) copies.
It is not distributed to any store on the planet.
It is distributed directly from us to you.
It is available only from The Archivists at the Rhino Handmade Website at:
http://www.rhinohandmade.com
The complete track listing for THE MONKEES 'Headquarters Sessions' is at
the bottom of this e-mail.
And sound samples for every track will be available on the Rhino Handmade
Website this coming Monday at Noon Pacific.
Up next from The Archivists is our JACK WEBB release.
I told you last time that we hadn't forgotten about it. So please get
ready to be thoroughly astonished. And to, of course, recite your Miranda
rights.

There is a half page ad for the VH-1 Monkees movie in the June 23
edition of Entertainment Weekly, on page 92. The verbage reads: "Before
Backstreet Boys.....Before 'N Sync.....The Monkees. The rise and fall
of the original boy band". The picture is a recreation of the pose from
the Headquarters LP, but with matching shirts. The ad looks like a good
omen as to the accuracy of the film, as only 3 of the guys are smiling.

This is a return engagement for the band. At the last gig, the place
was packed, almost to beyond capacity. It is recommended that fans
arrive early for limited seating. Light foods are available at venue.
ANSWERS TO SOME FAQ'S:
1. Pictures & video taping will be allowed at all events. Try to avoid
getting in band member's faces with flashes, though... for close ups,
use 1,000 speed or higher film and no flash. Distant flashes are fine,
however please be considerate others who are trying to enjoy the shows.
2. Under 21's.... please call ahead and double-check each venue's
policy, in case of any last minute changes or additions!
3. Peter will be glad to sign autographs, take pictures with you,
etc... as will all of the guys. But PLEASE, please remember... these
guys will be on a week long tour... they are going to be getting pretty
tired as it goes on. Just use a little common sense & courtesy when
approaching the guys. If they look like they are taking a few minutes
breather, let them have their quiet time. I promise that you will get
plenty of opportunities to talk with them without overwhelming them!
4. The guys will be bringing some of their merchandise with them on the
tour. T-shirts, and more will be available for purchase. Approximate
prices (cash only): shirts $15-20, ball caps $10, sun visors $7, CD's
$15.
Please check with www.petertork.com and www.shoesuedeblues.com, or
e-mail Fiore Promos at jverrico@erols.com for more information on area,
travel and hotels.
Hope to see you on the road!

From: "K.Lyn Baker"
In next week's (June 24-30) TV Guide with the new Real World cast on the cover:
(any misspellings are mine, any factual errors are theirs)
Hollywood Grapevine:
"Hey, hey, we're not the Monkees, but we sure do look like them." That's
what the guys at right (Jeff Geddis, George Stanchev, Aaron Lohr and L.B.
Fisher) could be singing after starring in VH1's biopic Daydream
Believers: The Monkees Story, airing June 28. Best part of the gig: They
didn't have to play an instrument, just like the real Monkees when they
started. Less than ideal: listening to "Daydream Believer" 200 times. "It
never became tiring," says director Neill Fearlney. "Even my kids loved
it."
(includes pic of the four facing forward in red shirts/grey pants)
Susan Stewart's Hits & Misses:
Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story (Weds, VH1) The Monkees had
self-esteem problems. Who knew? Those crazy '60s cover boys Davy, Micky,
Peter, and Mike were really tortured artists. In this ingratiating
biographical movie, they balk at being treated like the chimps they play
on their slapstick sitcom. Between hit records, the boys (effectively
portrayed by unknown actors) seek the counsel of John Lennon, who tells
them, "You're the greatest comic talent since the Marx Brothers." Now
that's funny. My score: 6 (out of 10) (includes a pic of George in the
white outfit from the Star Collector video)
Music Guide:
Behind The Music (Sun, VH1) The cartoon-like fantasy of the Monkees--the
cute hired faces who became a manufactured band that outsold the Beatles
and the Stones--is a story many times told. But leave it to Micky Dolenz,
who lived that unlikely dream with Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, and Davy
Jones, to give it an original perspective: "Pinocchio really came alive
at one point." And if the surreal story, told here in clips and
interviews, has irked struggling musicians for 35 years, it's
understandable. As rock impresario Don Kirshner says, "What young men in
America wouldn't have given their eyeteeth to get that gig?" (includes
pic of Davy circa 1998(?))
Close-Up
Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story
The turbulent ride of the 1960s prefab quartet is recalled in this 2000 teleplay.
In 1965, music hitmaker Don Kirshner (Wallace Langham) teams with TV
producer Van Foreman (Colin Ferguson) to concoct a Beatles-type band for
NBC. Musicians Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith (L.B. Fisher, Jeff Geddis) are
cast, along with actors Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones (Aaron Lohr, George
Stanchev), to play the Monkees. Although their self-titled TV show and
songs like "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm A Believer" become big
hits, the guys grow frustrated with their teenybopper image and lack of
musical input as they deal with pressures of stardom. (2:00) (includes
pic of Jeff Geddis holding guitar)

If you have not yet visited Videoranch 3D, I highly recommend you do so as
soon as you have a chance. It's building up and there are new Ranch Regulars
in there daily. Videoranch 3D is the internet's number one destination
resort. It's one thing to be on the internet listening to music and watching
movies by yourself; it's a whole other thing to be doing so with your
friends. http://www.videoranch.com/html/vr3dbrowser.html
We're now taking pre-orders for Timerider soundtrack, on CD. It's never been
out before and Videoranch is selling it exclusively. Composed, produced and
performed by Nez, it's a great rock and roll instrumental album. The regular
price for the CD is $11.95, but if you pre-order it now, you can get it for
$9.95. It will ship to you in mid-July. Once it's in stock, the price goes
up to $11.95. There are 2 mp3 samples for you to listen to at
http://www.videoranch.com/gshop/index.html?t=frproduct&c=1
Repo Man is coming out on DVD in August. We'll be selling the regular
version, which will have a commentary that includes Nez as well as Alex Cox,
the director, and a stack of the cast members. We'll also be selling a
limited edition version of the DVD which comes bundled with a CD of the
soundtrack, a book, all wrapped in a California license plate. The plates
will be numbered. Great collector's piece. If it weren't for Repo Man, I
would never have known the Mayans invented television.
Tapeheads and Michael Nesmith Live at the Britt will both be out on DVD in
the Fall. Timerider next February.
"and the hits just keep on comin'" is in stock. One of Nez' best.
That's all for now. Email me if you need anything. I'm also in Videoranch 3D
a lot during the day, so you can come talk to me in "person" if you want.
