ZOMBIES RULE!
Six decades after they stormed the British and American charts in 1964, The Zombies are possibly more popular than ever. Their biggest hits, ‘She’s Not There’, ‘Tell Her No’ and ‘Time of the Season’ have been played more than 14 million times on U.S. radio alone. Praised by critics, discovered by a new generation of fans and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Zombies returned in the 2000s to establish themselves as a top-class touring act still driven to create new music.
Based largely on the author’s interviews with the five original band members, Times and Seasons - The Rise and Fall and Rise of The Zombies tells the whole story in detail: from the mid-‘60s Decca Records hits and misses through the break-up, the solo years, and their unexpected revival in the 21st century.
Times and Seasons recounts the unlikely tale of an inexperienced quintet of English schoolboys who made the hit parade in 1964 only to watch their fortunes dwindle, splitting just weeks after completing their 1968 masterpiece Odessey and Oracle. The book covers the unexpected posthumous success of ‘Time of the Season’ in 1969 and how the band’s refusal to reunite led to a plague of phony bands touring under The Zombies’ name. The book looks at the 1970s solo success of Colin Blunstone and the band Argent, the chance encounter that led to a hugely successful Zombies revival, and all points in between.
"They were just teenagers when they started the band in St. Albans, not far from London. Rod, a choir boy; Hugh, a drummer in the marching band; Chris, who played bass; and Paul who played guitar — and Colin — played rugby which I can hardly imagine! He had to have been the kindest bloke you could ever knock heads with in a rugby scrum. But, by the time they were 18, the lads had a number one hit in America with “She’s Not There,” quickly followed by “Tell Her No.” Both songs were written by budding songwriter Rod Argent, who just so happened to be a virtuoso on the keyboards. Rod’s expressive playing would define the Zombies’ distinctive sound, along with Chris and Paul’s ingenious guitar work and chiming three-part harmonies, Hugh’s iconic, hypnotic drumming, and, of course, Colin’s magnificent, mellifluous voice.
The band’s songs are a case study in craft and excellence, but even more importantly, the kind of songs you wanna put on a mix tape or play on a boombox beneath someone’s window, because they say the things you wanna say and express the feelings you want to share with someone but may not have the nerve to! Songs like “You Make Me Feel Good,” “The Way I Feel Inside,” and “I Love You” — sincere, heartfelt gems delivered with unflinching, undeniable passion. Which brings me to their masterpiece: the astonishing album, Odessey and Oracle.
My love affair with the Zombies may have started in the sixties, but I love them still — even more, as I’ve had the great privilege of knowing what fine human beings they are and the great fortune of seeing them perform many times, watching them inspire a whole new generation of music lovers. But that’s the thing about music — it knows no boundaries, no borders; it travels straight to our hearts. I listen to the Zombies every day on those same palm-lined streets of my youth because quite honestly — I crave — I need — a little dose of their particular sonic alchemy. And it never fails to touch me, inspire me, excite and dazzle me — to make me feel less alone, to lift me when I’m down. And even when their music moves me with its poignancy to tears, it reminds me of what it is to be alive — to be human — and of the power of song and music to connect us all!" — Susanna Hoffs, 2023

Squeaker Shenanigans!
I have four large dogs - 65-70 lbs, pittie babies. Three out of four love, love, LOVE squeaker toys. You can't keep a squeaker toy in my house to save your life. If it squeaks, it dies a quick squeaker death. We generally buy squeak toys at the Dollar Store. My going theory on toys is it has to last one minute per dollar I spend on it. Then I call it "worth the money."
Right now, it is winter and where I live, so very cold. My kids can't get all their energy out by being outside, so we have to come up with creative indoor fun. I like these types of packs of toys, one for the value and two the quantity. I put all the toys in a box, and then my kids get to come up and pick one out of the box - they then run off for the squeaker toy of destruction fun! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Death.
One kids goes right to hunting for where the squeaker is inside the toy, and the hunkers down to figure out how to get it out and kill it. She is usually the 60 seconds or less, 1st Place Squeaker Death Winner. The other two, will take their time and enjoy the squeaks and work the squeaker out until death finally takes it. My 70 lb boy, is kind of a baby, and after he neatly gets his squeaker out, he makes the toy his baby, and then carries it around proudly.
Considering how large my kids are, these are well made and take the full minute for Squeaker of Death girl to get the squeaker out. The size is great, even for my larger dogs. I got nine toys for about $12 at the time of this purchase, and it was perfect. It did come with the storage bag...but not something that is necessary in this house. Although, it was actually quite nice, and I am sure I can use for something else. The Sun was a big hit, and despite not having its squeaker anymore, is still hanging around, days later. I will be buying this pack again.

Pom approved!
My pomeranian ONLY plays with small stuffies that squeak. She loves these and they are just small enough for her to hold and squeak. They are durable enough - but we will see when her big dog cousins come play with her, just how sturdy they are!
They are very cute, soft, and squeak well. Good value for the pack of them.

He loves his new toy and it’s funny!
Ever since I got this toy he can’t seem to stop holding one! Every time I look at him he always is has one in his mouth no matter the time of day. As you can see in my pics he is super proud and happy to go for a stress reliever after a hard day of being a dog. It’s honestly very entertaining and funny to watch and never fails to make me laugh. This item is super durable, and squeaks as he chews on it! It’s worth every penny if you ask me, perfect size and like I said super entertaining and looks super funny! It’s nice and soft so it won’t cause any damage on teeth would give this toy 10/10!

We are still laughing! Great toy
Fun, Interactive, and Great Quality Dog Toy
We purchased this dog toy and it has been an absolute hit in our home 🐶😄. As soon as we opened it, our dog was immediately interested. The main toy opens up and includes three individual “cigarettes” inside, which keeps the playtime going and makes it much more engaging.
We’ve had so much fun taking photos and videos because he carries it everywhere:
🛏️ to his dog bed
🛋️ to the living room while we watch TV
🛌 to the bedroom to stay close to us
The quality is excellent:
✔️ Durable, well-made materials
✔️ Strong stitching
✔️ Bright, attractive colors
✔️ Perfect size for carrying and playing
This toy is not only interactive but also very original compared to typical dog toys. You can tell it’s designed to stimulate curiosity and keep dogs entertained.
We are very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy from NestPark again. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun, unique, and durable toy your dog will truly enjoy 🐾💛.

Does your dog need a little something to take the edge off?
If your dog has a hard job of having to put up with a needy owner all day (me), this helps them step outside and take the edge off.
Seriously, my dog grabs this fake cig and suddenly she’s a 45-year-old trucker named Bernadette who’s seen too much, and only calls me on Christmas when she needs had a couple glasses and feels bad for the other 364 days of the year for being an absent mother.
These are cute and great quality. And honestly with the “pack” part and the three cigarettes, you technically get four toys. We’ve stuffed treats inside just for fun/enrichment and she enjoys snuffling them out (the pack opens from the top and can close). And plus with them being bigger, they fit our other dog who is larger and even our small dog gets a kick out of snatching one and running around the room like a madman.
This is a fun toy to buy and we would get it again. Plus it’ll be a cute Christmas gift to order for our dog friends who have a good sense of humor.
