Vodka Collins, Skying, Alan Merrill

[asaxon1378]

Alan does this song sometimes in his New York solo acoustic shows recently.

[vivicola]

Though Alan Merrill is singing lead vocal on this song the camera is mostly on Monsieur Kamayatsu in this clip.

[fabnekko]

Alan Merrill will be in Japan this August 12th 2010 to perform at the Joe Yamanaka benefit at Club Crocodile in Tokyo. He will be on stage with Monsieur Kamayatsu and Take Yokouchi founding members of Vodka Collins, so it will be a kind of band reunion.

[tsunamisasumi]

@fabnekko He changed the date to the 11th of August and did a great show with the band Tensaw backing him up!

[jivingjunkosan]

@tsunamisasumi YEAH!

[Primalonna]

@fabnekko He just played at Club Sensation in Yokohama Japan on November 12, 13 and 27th 2010. I hear that they were great shows.

[ramalamadingadong]

There's a nice nice loose laid back feel to this!

[sirshagamore]

Fuzzy bee bass, cool jazzy vocals.

[vivicola]

Polka dot ties are the new jazz!

[Primalonna]

[kaibyogoten]

This is a great band! Vodka Collins forever!!

[mecmeanspimp]

It looks and sounds like a dream.

[jojoranter]

Trippy and romantic.

[heavyharpoon]

This is classy and innovative. I love the fuzzy buzzy bee bass line.

[jivingjunkosan]

Vodka Collins had moments of musical mood genius. This song was one of those those moments. Oh! I really want this kind of kiss!

[honeybabycookie]

Yeah, it's a really sensual song.

[chickenindaloo]

I love this song!!!!!

[bopisthejazz]

Such nice boys!

[KeithTheKing]

Nice vocal sound on this one. It's like a warm cashmere blanket.

[uchinobakka]

It is very elegant and ethereal.

[princeofrazzle]

It's a melody sung over one chord, the whole song. Only one chord! Amazing.

[ramalamadingadong]

I noticed that too when I first saw this a few months ago.

[fabnekko]

The drummer Hiroshi Oguchi is acting in a film called "Silk" released in 2007.

[kaibyogoten]

An essential Vodka Collins track for the collection. On the Pink Soup album from 1997.

[homerswingking]

Calming and with a warm fuzzy feeling~

[randynready]

So good :) !

[thefistoftruth]

The bass is buzzing around like a fat bee. Loving it.

[Primalonna]

I totally adore this song!!

[bootcords]

majestic sounds from vodka collins.

[ramalamadingadong]

It's is amazing that there is only one chord in this whole song.

[nastynastynena]

[houndsofhell]

The song is sexy and spiritual. As it should be.

[KeithTheKing]

A very romantic Vodka Collins song. As good as their 'bridge to the moon'~

[jivingjunkosan]

[mangledapeman]

*Brilliant*

[SkylarBry]

Listen to this song three times and you will be singing it the rest of the day.

Listen to the words. They come a genius.

[kylesinglefile]

There's nice Hendrix style of rhythm guitar going on throughout. I really like this video, it's laid back, loose and the music is spot on.

[doggydogworld]

Good post!

[honeybabycookie]

Warm sound. I love it.

[pontneufbebe]

The best song ever written about a kiss. Rodin would have approved.

[bopisthejazz]

The song is remarkable (apart from it being a very cool tune) in that it's structured entirely around one chord and one topic, a kiss.

[princeofrazzle]

I like the song playing in the background

[fabnekko]

yeah it's a great song{:)

[kaibyogoten]

AAA+++

[houndsofhell]
