Memories of a Vinyl Junkie : The Prank 1970

[@dboy6896]

It's sad you lost 2 of your old pals pretty early. You guys had special times together. I'm 70 and still hang with 3 guys I went to kindergarten up trough college with in the L.A. area!! I'm lucky as can be! Keep on rockin Mazzy!!

[@SuperMikedonovan]

Of similar vintage and feel fortunate to still be in touch with friends I've known since I was 11, although, sadly, we lost one of our group a couple of years ago. Enjoy Norman's videos.

[@GaryGarbett]

That was brilliant, Mazzy! Thank for sharing. I needed that. Peace.

[@andyshacks7812]

What a great story Mazzy. I love hearing your memories!

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Great story and awesome song at the end! Loved those old photos really cool!

[@mazzysmusic]

Thanks so much!🤠

[@TheGlawton]

Love the story and the tune. Garage rock indeed. “I don’t care if you poison my food!” Wtf? 😊I have one year on you, Mazzy and am very lucky to still hang out with my music-and-mischief buddy from 1965. Still swapping tunes and talking trash.

[@paavoviuhko7250]

Thanks for this Mazzy. Always interesting to find out what your were like in your younger days. I was 21 in 1970 beginning my first year of university in the fall. I have to confess I got into a lot of difficult embarrassing situations in those days. Thanks for sharing. We survivors are burdened to carry the memory of the deaths of well loved friends.

[@dg723254]

Great story Mazzy! Love it.

[@mazzysmusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!🤓

[@williamcardina89]

Great Story and the song was good

[@larryjenkins9638]

Great story, reminds me of my friends in late 60's and 70s. Riding around in my Mom's 65 Falcon. I'm 72. And have lost some buddies too. The song is great for some 12 years olds!?... reminds of Kinks, or Small Faces. 🎉

[@BrandonCarson]

Fantastic story and took me down my own memory lane of trickery, conniving, and pranking with my buddies. Thanks!

[@mazzysmusic]

We are all hoodlums for a minute or two 😵‍💫🤠

[@davepounds8924]

Loved the lyrics on your song Mazzy!! I Don’t Care If You Smash My TV! I Don’t Care If You Drink My Tea!! Drums were pretty good on it!!

[@marksaleski9890]

Great single and fantastic memories. Yeah, it’s tough when old buddies fade away. Not long ago I went to my 45th high school reunion and it was wild to revisit those memories, which are still so vibrant. Not so great to go over who is gone, sadly.

[@bobbyg7458]

This song should be a candidate for the next psych/garage "Nuggets" compilation!😉👍

[@larrywarren3484]

Made me smile great story great little song 😊😊

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you 🤠

[@ediblehorse]

That tunes is Nuggets worthy!

[@rixvspinner]

Great prank story Mazzy. That song had a pretty good hook.

[@bobm5242]

Poor Jeff is out there somewhere planning his revenge ;-) GREAT story! PS - That song is fantastic! Needs to be covered by someone!

[@johndoyle7644]

Loved the story , good innocent fun , your early band sounded good too , lol

[@53puskas53]

"I dont care if you smash my TV ..." great line!

we are the same age, one day we went over to my friend Steves house, He just got Sgt Pepper and wanted to try some grass.Well, we had no idea where to buy weed, but we tried! anyway, we got there and handed a bag of "weed" to steve, He smoked half a bag and was so stoned. We didnt even know how to roll a joint! Everything was great. except for one thing, it was oregano.We bought oregano from a neighborhood kid.. He caught on when his mother yelled down to us.."who's cooking down there" we smelled of an Italian kitchen hahahaha... unfortunately Steve isn't with us anymore, but we laughed about that for years and years.great memories there Mazzy

[@mazzysmusic]

The old oregano trick 😆

[@RickroxxUsa]

Been waiting for another junkie vid 👍

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

Great story. I grew up in a section 8 apartment complex in the 70s. We did a similar prank on a new kid in the apartments, where we used one of our apartments as the fake robbery target. It was a hoot.

[@marklacam9748]

It sounds like that 45 has had plenty of plays,great story and great memories for ya. Luv the show.

[@mazzysmusic]

Many plays 😎

[@mikeopmorgan3332]

Ahhh the sixties! Loved the story. Please more.

[@mazzysmusic]

Or the 70s ✌🏼

[@mikeopmorgan3332]

Younger guy asked if I was old enough to remember the 70s. I replied Im old enough not to remember the 70s.

[@jillyidle6462]

😂😂😂😂😂😂hilarious story, Mazzy! And I love the song!

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you 😎

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Hey Mazzy. 🤣Great prank! And sad about the loss of your friends. Is one of the lyrics "I don't care if you poison my food"? 😂Cheers

[@denniswood1437]

The song you recorded as a 12-year-old sounds like something the Smithereens would do in the 1980s. You were a very musically prescient kid. Great prank, great story, great song!

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

wow that was a very damn good song!

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you 😵‍💫😎🤠

[@FotogInkArt]

I thought that was a filtrt on that lead...then I heard the background vocals. Wow...I am amazed its not bad ! I mean...thats right outta Detroit garage right there...and I would know. Wow. Love this Mazzy thanks.

[@mazzysmusic]

🌹🤠😵‍💫😎

[@PMC7027]

Listen to those pre-pubescent voices! Great video, Mazzy.

[@67psych]

You looked really cool and you still do now ❤

[@williamcalvert4106]

Your son will always have these videos to cherish from his father. Now that song is stuck in my head !!!!

[@Grassrecords]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣..............Great Song

[@Bootradr]

This reminds me of some pranks me and friends pulled when I was growing up. It was really funny at the time and it would give you those tingling feelings in your arms and body from the anticipation of just knowing that it was a joke but the other person wasn't in on it yet :-) I'm guessing you're about a decade to maybe 15 years older than me Mazzy (I was born in 67), but it's fun to hear stories like this and think back to the crazy and funny stuff we did too in my youth. Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

[@mazzysmusic]

@@Bootradr I’m 13 years older 😆✌🏼

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Love the story, Mazzy! …and that single!!! For some reason I just thought: If you replace the lead singer with Jim Morrison, you would have had a smash hit.

[@ivansbacon]

Backwards in time. Great song, could of been hit if got radio play. I will be moving backwards in time in Dec. as fly back from Cairo/Istanbul. One night in Seattle to rest then home. One night/morning, what to do?

[@2indaPink]

❤❤❤❤

[@EricSchultz-zs8hz]

That's an interesting story of a pretty funny prank. I like your narrative style, so I enjoyed the video. That song is quite good for a bunch of 12 year old kids, and I see what you mean about it being "punk." Put just a little more edge on it, and sing it with an "in your face" attitude, and it would be punk rock!

[@recordhead]

Move over Dino, Desi & Billy.

[@SuperMikedonovan]

Enjoyed the tale. Felt for Geoff/Jeff, though. Fun idea to include the single. Like your Anglofile sensibilities. From UK and recommend THE BEVIS FROND on FIRE RECORDS. BF's Nick Saloman a great songwriter.

[@neilbruce4201]

Mazzy, a complete pranker.

[@BeeHumbleRecords]

Will we be seeing this song on a 45 in the Mazzy store soon?

[@mazzysmusic]

🤷🏻‍♂️🤠

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Good friends are hard to find. But when you do they are better than gold.

[@mazzysmusic]

Absolutely 🫶🏻✌🏼

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Have You ever met Jim Jones?

[@joecarrera1799]

I would have listened to Mazzy's song but I feared at that point I'd be pranking myself.

[@kimba8387]

Cute song 😊

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you 🤠🌹

[@vinylrichie007]

I’d would rather listen to I Don’t Care If You Smash My TV over the audiophile releases that the VC are fond of talking about.

[@philipwood5114]

This sounds you were gojng for Alvin and the chipmunks !

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah our voices were about to change 😵‍💫

[@LarsSjöberg-e7w]

Please write a book Norman.

[@mazzysmusic]

That would be nice ✌🏼

[@johnmoreno96]

The Further Adventures of Mazzy, great story. Maybe someday I can bend your ear and use up 10mins of your time. 😃

[@robotubetwob]

Do you have nostalgia about the 70's? I'm always surprised people do as I generally think the 70's, at least until 1977 or so, kinda sucked. One of the reasons I'm a very limited fan of the Lemon Twigs.

[@ronlight7013]

I think you guys squeezed the life out of two chords. Funny story, though, and shows that Reformed and Orthodox can get along. Just release those chords back into the wild.

[@mazzysmusic]

Three chords 😵‍💫😎🤠

[@revolver64]

Catchy song! Pretty good for twelve year olds!

[@mazzysmusic]

🤓

[@jettlightning]

Somebody smokes a lot!

[@TRamone01]

You didn't take credit for singing the lead. Understandable. The drummer ending the solo roll with a spot on snare drum finish was good. Punk bands are nothing without a very good drummer. Thanks.

[@mazzysmusic]

@@TRamone01 I didn’t sing the lead. That was Dany. The kid we “kidnapped.”

[@timo-68]

Dug the story, and the tunes. Must be something in that Bay Area water that brings out the prankster in folks! It was cool meeting you last weekend at the Portland record show ✌️

[@mazzysmusic]

@@timo-68 great chatting. I’m sure Portland has even better pranksters. 😎🤠

[@TRamone01]

@@mazzysmusic Just kidding about the singer. When I was in college I had 2 professors I was friends with. Bilal from Pakistan and Jeffers who was Jewish. Jeff helped me get into graduate school. Now for the prank: I'd been away for at least 10 years and went back to pay a visit. I saw Bilal first and he took me to Jeff's office and introduced me as his friend from Pakistan. Bilal kind of pranked me and Jeff. :)
