Anyone else catch the Fleshtones this tour? Saw them for the first time in ten years - they were as great as they ever were in the 80's (although conspicuously lacking the brass...). Despite the band's undiminished energy, the crowd was stock-still, like they were watching a video monitor. Very disconcerting - I mean, I've seen photos of people crowd surfing to Counting Crows. ------------------------------ From: "D.J.

The crowd was full of frat boy types there to see Dick Dale do his tune from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack just so they could mosh - which they did to that one song and nothing else. They could have cared less about the other 2 bands on the bill - the Fleshtones and the Flat Duo Jets, both of which put on great shows - much better than Dick Dale did that night. I saw The Fleshtones the next night in Baltimore and they had a much more receptive audience. Peter Z. told me afterwards that he hated doing the show at the 930 because of the crowd. The Fleshtones were great on both nights.

And yeah, those little "gee, so this is punk" turds: they proved impervious to all attempts at reason, but very aerodynamic (esp. after stomping on my wife's foot for the 2nd time). ------------------------------ From: Squishy@aol.com Date: Mon, 10 Jun 1996 13:14:42 -0400 Subject: Re: Back to Bomp Since nobody has started a thread yet, here's a question I've been saving all these months while the list was in limbo: That series of UK compilations called "The British Psychedelic Trip" -- are they out on CD, and if so, which ones?

Should be in stores next week I suppose. Also out, for those who care (and you should) are TWO new albums from the Brian Jones Massacre: Take It From the Man, their version of Beggars Banquet, and a limited pressing of Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request (you can imagine what that sounds like... very trippy). Only a thousand of these are being pressed so get em while you can Greg ------------------------------ From: "Paul L.
