News from Michael Nesmith's Official web site:

From: "Videoranch Foreman" 

Hi there,
 
As you all know by now, the Timerider soundtrack is being released for the first time ever!  We should receive the cd's by Monday, August 7th. This means that you have until Sunday night to take advantage of our pre-order special. You won't want to miss this chance to get the Timerider Soundtrack on CD for only $9.95 (plus shipping and handling of course).  Just go to http://www.videoranch.com/gshop/index.html?t=frproduct&c=1
to place your order.  On Monday the 7th the price will go up to $11.95. For those of you who have already pre-ordered you should look for your new CD in the mail starting Wednesday.
 
The Repo Man  DVD is also close to being ready. Only a few weeks away. We will have a limited amount of the Special Edition.  This will include the Repo Man DVD, soundtrack on CD, and the whole thing comes in a numbered container made out of a California license plate.  A cool collectors item for $49.99, first come, first serve.  We will also have plenty of the regular DVD of Repo Man at $24.99 available. 
 
There is a chance Nez will be stopping by VR3D on August 15th, late morning or early afternoon, so you may want to stop by. He will be doing a dry run for a longer KPIG interview which should take place in late September. If you are on a pc and haven't yet downloaded VR3D just go to www.videoranch.com/html/vr3dbrowser.html and download the browser there.

Monkee lyric of the week: "..watching your feet or you'll die in a

Can you guess what song it's from?

From: Mischele

in McCall's magazine of all places.  September issue, page PT18

Includes the infamous four shot of the guys in the chairs with their names
on the back (Micky's is misspelled)

"Among the 437 'folk and roll' singers who answered the 1965 audition call
for be  Monkee were Stephen Stills (who was rejected because he had bad
teeth and a receding hairline), Harry Nilsson and Paul Williams."

If memory serves me right.....spot the error in the previous sentence.

I just spent the weekend in Niagara Falls and was quite shocked at what I saw.  On the sidewalk on Clifton Hill there are "stars" with bands names lining the sidewalk up to the Hard Rock Cafe.  What a surprize when I looked down and saw the Monkees name wrong!  They have it "The Monkeys"!!!!!!  Unbelievable!  What a bunch of morons they must have working there!

Hi,

It was reported here that Micky will appear on episodes of Pacific Blue titled, "Reckoning" and "Naked Truth"?  But to my understanding Micky has NOT appeared in those episodes, which I believe are repeats.  He *did*, however, appear in "Pilot" (aka "Pacific Blue") and "No Man's Land" of Pacific Blue [however,
they won't be re-runed until September IF USA will still be showing Pacific Blue].

The mention on TV Guide online is a goof, sorry; Micky is erroneously reported on tvguide.com as to be in the cast for the re-runs of "Pacific Blue" on the weekend of the 18th of August.  My references are pacificblue.com AND www.hooloovoo.com/micky/film.html

KPIG Pick of the Week: You've probably heard about our affiliation with KPIG (www.KPIG.com), Nez' favorite radio station. We think the PIG DJs have great taste in music (they do play Nez tunes all the time) so we asked them to pick out some new music for us to pass on to you. KPIG Pick of the Week. They're mighty selective, so we're not going to have a new pick every week. Just the weeks when KPIG finds music they love. Like Todd Snider's new CD "Happy to be Here", this week's pick. We really like it, and think you will too. It is $14.95, plus shipping.

Pollstar.com states Davy is scheduled to perform on 1/27/01 but I was just informed that no concert is scheduled! This is the reply I received. I'm sorry the information that David Jones will be performing at Moraine Valley Community College is not correct. Look it up again, and see if it is not somewhere else, at times we are confused with other area businesses. Our address is 10900 S. 88th Avenue, Palos Hills, IL. I called our box office at (708) 974-5500 to verify if there was an entertainer by that name performing on January 27, 2001, and they have nothing. If you wish, you could check in early December, but so far we have nothing on David Jones. Thank you, Rosario ++++++++++++++++++++++ From: "Curlewis, Samantha" VH1's acclaimed documentary series Behind The Music is to air the premiere of 'Behind The Music: The Monkees' on VH1 UK on the 22nd October 2000 - a must see for any die-hard Monkees fan! behind the music: the monkees - 22 oct 2200 The first boy band to be 'invented' or inspired as their creators preferred to describe them, was The Monkees. Mickey Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones all answered an advertisement in the Daily Variety and on 12 September 1966. Soon after the first episode of The Monkees was aired by NBC in the States and, despite low initial ratings, the show quickly became hugely popular, a feat mirrored when it was launched in the UK. Their singles Last Train To Clarksville and I'm A Believer both scored number one smashes on both sides of the Atlantic. A million selling album followed and The Monkees were confirmed as the latest teenage phenomenon. But trouble was on the horizon as The Monkees were subjected to Beatles comparisons and worse, it was revealed that they didn't write or perform the songs! Michael Nesmith in particular took this badly - he was an accomplished musician and was frustrated that he was not allowed to play or write their tracks. Instead the winning team of Neil Diamond, Carole King and Jeff Barry were firmly ensconced! The follow-up album More of The Monkees sold in excess of five million which only exacerbated tension, but the band won reserved approval from their bosses to complete several tracks under their own devices. Davy Jones was coaxed to sing on the already-completed backing track to A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You which was issued, without the band's approval, as their third single. The ensuing altercation saw the band's creator Don Kirshner ousted, with the quartet gaining complete artistic freedom. Although not issued as a single in the USA, Alternate Title, Mickey's ambitious tribute to London, reached number two in Britain, while two further 1967 singles, Pleasant Valley Sunday and Daydream Believer, achieved gold record status. Headquarters, the first Monkees album on which the band played, was a commercial and artistic success, consisting largely of self-penned material. However this proved to be a creative drain on the band which was no more apparent than the disappointing The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees and its accompanying single, Valleri. The track itself had been recorded in 1966, and was only issued when pirate recordings, dubbed off-air from the television series, attracted considerable airplay. 'The Monkees are dead!' declared an enraged Nesmith, yet the song sold over a million copies, the band's last such success. In cahoots with Jack Nicholson, the sixties icons produced the out-there psychedelic film, Head in 1968. It proved to be way above the understanding of their teenage followers. A dispirited Peter Tork left following its release. The remaining trio continued without him but their commercial decline proved as spectacular as its ascendancy. It was a rag to riches to rags story all within four years. This Behind The Music explains how four hired hands actually learned how to play by the rules, then fought for creative control in a high-stakes musical mutiny and won. Along the way, they sold millions of records, became teen idols, and ultimately learned to act like the international superstars they had become. Insta-hipness didn't last long, though, and a comeback attempt several decades into the game closed the book once and for all. Here Behind the Music tracks down the original players and discovers the story behind the headlines that made The Monkees.

I don't know if the Monkees are DEFINITELY going to be on the list, but I think it is relatively safe to assume they are since they were pretty big teen idols.
