MOG

N.N.: This is one of those times when it would be entirely appropos to crow about one's own music. This is exquisite! Congrats on the deserved exposure and the props from Lynne. But I feel compelled to mention that I prefer to think of it as The Move's "Do Ya" - from Lynne's post-Carl Wayne pre-ELO tenure with Roy Wood's band. It's all about the roots, man!

awesome!  Congrats to you!  Can't wait to see the episode.  I love that show.

What show are we talking about Neill? 

Nevermind, its in the title, (long day here!) I dont' watch much TV but love this cover!

i have to admit m the k, i've never heard the move's version! sacrilege, i know. glad you like the tune though!

dachmo, it aired tonight, i was late in posting, as we were partying a bit prior, but it's on demand if you have that.

Check it when you can, Neil. It crunches and soars.

i don't watch much either indy, bad for the brain

just a few shows that get my goat and californication is one of 'em

another is terminator, sarah connor chronicles

shirley manson from garbage is on it this season as one of those next level liquid looking terminators from the second film, and she is absolutely amazing

great acting from a rock singer, that is rare!

just checked it out mike

a little bit grittier than the elo version, dug it

some serious cowbell action as well!

congrats.  cool.  i'm glad you heard the Move version.  get into the Move.  they'll blow your mind...

and then i'll do my social architect thing with you.. but first, you gotta Move...

I just watched the repeat on SHOwest. Fantastic! you didn't mention that your song closed the episode as well! Nicely done Neil, nicely done.

More cowbell!

And Anna is right, Neil. Dig yourself some more of The Move: "Flowers in the Rain" (West Coast psychedelia by way of Birmingham), "Blackberry Way" (Roy Wood's Beatles obsession to the max), the proto-metal pop of "Hello, Susie" and "Brontosaurus," the winsome busker jauntiness of "Tonight," the retro surf-and-roll of "California Man," etc.

Uh-oh. I feel a post coming on...

I just had to check because I keep hearing Kiss singing this song, turns out I was part right, a solo Ace Frehley covered it as well in '89.

Chinatown!!   Chain me down!!

Once again...................this is so amazingly cool. How many bottles of champagne have been opened?

did have some persecco henry, so much so, that when the song came on, i was bit too loopy to enjoy the moment!

alright theresa, mike, and buzz, i will strike on the move momentarily

that is just one of the many musical holes in my library

I can't get used to hearing this without all the Roy Wood/Jeff Lynne production on it. Amazing what a song can actually be when it's stripped right down to its emotions. This is superb, Neil, and congratulations on it being on Californication. The second season hasn't started yet so I'll be looking out for this. It's a hard show to like but it's compelling to watch. Your covers are - so far - just fantastic and special.

wow, thanks so much john

it was a total accident, just finger picking watching tv and realizing, shit those are the chords to do ya

then getting rid of some of the words, as they were way too much of a mouthful over the sparse version

i was thinking between the lyrical verbosity and the big time production, the cocaine must have been instrumental in both the move and elo's versions

mine seems to be the weed version

That's funny! I once interviewed Roy and from his publicist and others who knew them, they were complete strangers to the powder, preferring a good beer. Being from Birmingham, I'm inclined to think it's their version of a big industrial sound (like Sabbath, Slade, Zep...)

Neil,

I clean forgot to mention that your cover version is a true revelation (sorry for the infusion of cynicism, but most  attempts to transform a rockin' tune into something quiet and lyrical fail spectacularly, with Tori Amos' "Smells Like Teen Spirit"  as an especially egregious example), and that it has gotten mass exposure is fantastic.  CONGRATS!

i love that i can throw out my misperception and get corrected by a man with the real knowedge! thanks john. go mog!

and thanks buzz

yeah, this tune held up to the strip down

he wrote a goodie

Congrats. Your version of " Do Ya" is a far cry from the original. I like yours better mainly for it's scaled down production and your voice. Keep it coming.

very exciting--many congrats, Neil!

Season 2 actually started a couple months ago -- it's already on Episode 8. The show is hilarious and brilliant. I only saw the first couple episodes of Season 2 via torrent as I don't have Showtime, but I'm tempted just for this show. I highly recommend renting the DVD of season one -- it's only about 8 episodes due to the strike.

What a nice break, being included on the soundtrack. Nice cover choice.
