The Monkees Live Almanac on Facebook (Take 2)

5/11/2016

Hello everyone,

I recently launched a Facebook page for The Monkees Live Almanac. Let me preface this by saying I'm a complete novice when it comes to Facebook, and well, my amateur background resulted in the page being disabled by Facebook as of this morning!  After a crash course on Facebook and its rules, I think I've got it correct this time. Please click the image below (one of Al Bigley's masterworks) and "Like" The Monkees Live Almanac on Facebook.

Thanks for your patience!  And a shout out to Ken Mills over at Zilch for his assistance!

Monkees on the Internet in the 1990s

4/1/2016

7 Comments

 
Who remembers searching for The Monkees on the World Wide Web after first gaining access to the internet? Perhaps you were running Windows 95, using the Netscape Navigator browser, and searching "Monkees" on Excite, Yahoo, or WebCrawler?  Ahhh, yes, the 1990s.

Let's go back in time and take a look at some of those original Monkees websites that provided news, photos, history, fanfic, online chat rooms, mailing lists, guestbooks, and more. Most of the sites highlighted below are pages I remember visiting during that time period, but it's by no means an exhaustive rundown. There were an abundant amount of Monkees places to visit online in the '90s. 

I'm sure everyone will agree that the webmasters of these classic sites deserve our thanks and appreciation for bringing The Monkees into the Information Age.  Job well done!  If you are one of those webmasters, please feel free to leave a comment and provide further information on the history of your Monkees website.

The Monkees Home Page

Brad Waddell's The Monkees Home Page must be at the top of the list - how exciting it was to find this website in 1995, one that provided updates from Maggie McManus of Monkee Business Fanzine, featured transcripts of Monkees news articles (including Goldmine magazine's rundown of each of Rhino's 1994/1995 CD reissues of the original Monkees LPs), and more. There were pictures of all four Monkees at Rhino's platinum awards ceremony in January 1995, song lyrics, an episode guide, and links to Monkees sites around the web. The Monkees Home Page, of course, is still live on the web. A big thanks to Brad for all of his work since 1994!
Monkees Home Page original

Mr. Zero's Monkees Page

Joe Alterio's website was another of my favorites. It was here that I first read the interview with Sam Rhodes of Sam & The Goodtimers, the band that supported The Monkees on tour in 1969. Fascinating! Remember, this was the late 1990s, an era before the publication of Andrew Sandoval's book, and a time when relatively little information was available on the '69 tour.  Mr. Zero's provided a set list and a schedule of dates.  I'd like to thank Joe who shared his interview with Sam Rhodes (and rare pictures from the 1969 tour) so they could be preserved here on The Monkees Live Almanac.

Though not from the 1990s, the official Monkees website finally made its online debut in 2006. It featured rare photographs, news updates, special offers, merchandise, and podcasts hosted by Andrew Sandoval, including a three-part interview with Michael Nesmith. There was talk of fans being able to download rare tracks from the vault at Monkees.com, but that never came to fruition.

Is Andy Partridge of XTC writing a new song for The Monkees?

12/20/2015

4 Comments

 
On December 14, Monkees archivist Andrew Sandoval tweeted to Andy Partridge, best known as the chief songwriter and guitarist of the new wave band XTC.
Picture
Andrew included the photograph below in his tweet, a sketch of Micky attributed to Andrew Partridge. (I'm surmising this drawing was originally published in an issue of Monkees Monthly, but I'll have to check my back issues to confirm.)
Picture
Partridge responded:
Picture
And today, Andy tweeted the following, and also engaged in conversations on Twitter about The Monkees.

Stay tuned to the Live Almanac for more updates!
UPDATE 12/22/2015: The drawing of Micky by Andy Partridge appeared in the December 1968 issue of Monkees Monthly. You can now read more about Andy and the influence The Monkees had on his career.
