@GenTXer2 10cc. Four brilliant guys who could all sing, write and play multiple instruments. Had their own studio so they made their own records. They prided themselves on being a band without an image.

Can you identify this 70s band? 🤔 Difficulty level: you probably need to put on your thinking cap for this one🧢

@TheMickyDolenz1 Probably my favorite Monkees cut ever and you & the fellas absolutely nailed the track. Whoever decided to raise the key and have you sing it was spot on (no offense to Michael, and he wrote a gem). Pop perfection and pure joy.

You know what track brings a smile? “The Girl I Knew Somewhere.” The B-side to “A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You,” it was key during our Headquarters era when we played our own instruments. It even hit #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 - thanks to Nez's songwriting! #MickyDolenz

@BeatlesEarth This may be blasphemous, but since they were able to isolate his vocal from the piano with AI, I personally would have tuned it a little, as he’s a bit pitchy and it’s out in the open now. It would be interesting to see what take @seanonolennon has on that.

@CalebTheSpy This was the first album I produced when I relocated to Nashville. We knocked this out in 13 days. The band was at the top of their game and it was a lot of fun. I have an old Roland 501 tape echo and we used it all over that album, especially on Two Cities. Just a blast.

@RedsDaily4 Really great play. Unfortunately, he’s getting his hands back up again instead of keeping them low like Eric Davis. Feels like it’s made his swing long again.

Didn’t get him out, but that was a fantastic play and throw by Will Benson. #Reds

ICYMI: @relientK at 25 with an exclusive interview with producer, and the man who brought them to @tobymac - @markleetownsend !
CCM Magazine@CCMmagazine

Twenty-five years ago, a quirky punk band from Ohio recorded a basement demo that would launch one of Christian rock’s most iconic careers. That band? @RelientK! In this exclusive look back with producer Mark Lee Townsend, we revisit the origins of Relient K’s self-titled debut album—how a youth group band caught the attention of TobyMac, landed a deal with Gotee Records, and shaped the sound of a generation. From late-night Wendy’s shifts to last-minute song additions like “Hello McFly” and “Wake Up Call,” this is the inside story of the album that started it all—and why it still matters today. Read the full story here: ccmmagazine.com/news/relient-k… #RelientK25 #RelientK #ChristianRock #CCMMagazine #TobyMac

@RedsDaily4 Take out Diaz and Petty today and it could very well have been a pair of one run games and a split. Both pitchers were really bad. One has an excuse.

Reds lose. 16-15 - Chase Petty struggled - Offense struggled - Elly extends hit streak - Bullpen pitched well. Onto tomorrow. #Reds

@2leftsN7yrsago @pearls4swineguy Mood Rings was Two Lefts, which I think was before they were dating, so I don’t think that’s correct. I think it was about my daughter. I could always be mistaken, as that was a long time ago. One I’m Waiting For and My Girls Ex Boyfriend were Katy songs as I recall.

@pearls4swineguy Mood rings for sure, especially since she hot and then cold, yes and then no and everything

So thankful to get to spend time with these friends from way back in the day. @markleetownsend and Suzanne are the special kind of friends that you go deep with and laugh hard with year after year. Thank you for letting us crash for a few days in Tennessee.

@EA_guitar I used to have a ‘98 CE 24 that I loved. The pu’s were a little bit mid rangy compared to a Gibson and the trem wouldn’t stay in tune, but still a really good guitar that played in tune up and down the neck. Traded it and I wish I hadn’t. Currently have a Mira. Love it.

@RedsDaily4 Poor guy hasn’t been right for several weeks since he got hit with a pitch in the hands. He is a much better hitter than what we are seeing now.

@RedsDaily4 Mahle popping out shallow outfield with a runner on third and one out was the killer for me.

Brutal. Wasted another good starting pitching performance. 38-44 - India stays hot - Frankie pitched awesome - Four hits… - Stu gets robbed of a game tying HR to end game. - Martinez two scoreless innings This offense is so frustrating. Tough with no Stephenson, Fraley, or Candy. #Reds

@5pointNat I was playing guitar for a CCM artist in 2000 and he was one of the opening acts. Bebo was as nice as could be and just a great all-around Jesus person. He was sort of the anti-rockstar. I’ve always appreciated him, and the audience loved his songs on that tour.

I was today years old when I learned that Bebo Norman, one of the few CCM artists whom I truly love and respect, and who retired in 2013 much to my chagrin, has become a PA in Otolaryngology. Is that cool or what? Way to go, Bebo! 🙌🏻🥹
