Apocalypse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mark Robinson Date: Wed, 26 Jun 1996 09:39:11 -0400 Subject: Sundazed VS Collectibles + Sequel records -Reply I am glad Don mentioned the Sundazed release of the E-Types catalog. This is a "must" have with all their singles and some fantastic live cuts illustrating this band's very tight live persona. Another one of those groups who should have had greater success. Collectables has always had a habit of low rent graphics and almost no linear notes. Check out their We The People packaging. The only thing I can add in their defense is the size of their catalog and clean transfers they use. Sure beats the hell out of some of those EVA boots. Can anyone recommend the following Collectable reissues: 1. Blue Things Story, Vol 1 and Vol 2 2. Tempos 3. Bad Seeds It's been a long time, but I'm glad this list is back in action.

Now, I'm into my third pot of coffee this morning, and my lids are held at about half-mast courtesy of fishing hooks skillfully tied to the strands of my forelock, but I have to say that the certain knowledge that Mr. Strato-Cossack will probably be walking around for the next couple of weeks with a fountain pen clutched in a dead, white-knuckled right fist, along with the amazing music I heard last night, is more than adequate consolation (that right hand would frequently dissolve into a wavering blur, and the sounds this guy produced were incredible - I think I may have had more fun watching than he had playing). I can't come close to remembering/identifying all that was in their repetoire... Atlantics, Shadows, Dale ... the fiercest renditions of Penetration and War of the Satellites I've yet heard! Enough said. Should Space Cossacks appear in a club near you, you must absolutely check them out. - - Bwaugh ------------------------------ From: Erica Wissolik Date: Wed, 26 Jun 1996 12:50:24 -0500 Subject: DC was Re: Space Cossacks land in A -Reply >>>I'll be in DC from July 23-26...any good shows there? laura@wusf.usf.edu Nope - nothing worthwhile listed yet. DC tends to be a wasteland of music - lots of really bad "alternative" types and 40-something, white boy blues bands. Of course, we also get more than our fair share of the reunion shows for folks like Steve Miller, REO Speedwagon, Peter Frampton and Foreigner....gag...... - ---Erica ------------------------------ From: Chris Reid Date: Wed, 26 Jun 1996 10:10:04 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Iggy, Singin' for the Man! I just saw a commercial a few nights ago for, I think, Nike, with "Search and Destroy" being played in it. Heh, thought it was kinda funny.

Yeah, caught it about a week or so ago: looks like some "Lost Gen." types have gotten a piece of real & respectable anarchy: the wonderful realm of Advertizing - pretty cool that they're helping Iggy out with his IRA, though (hopefully he gets a cut); Nike or Coke used a Ramones song a year or so ago.... maybe they'll eventually get around to co-opting GG Allin (just dub in Coke over ref.'s to whiskey in an given song). ------------------------------ From: Mark Robinson Date: Wed, 26 Jun 1996 15:42:12 -0400 Subject: Iggy, Singin' for the Man! -Reply I saw the damn thing.....I think the commercial was for sneakers (maybe it was for Windows95.....). The first thing that went through my mind was that this was a contemporary recording done by studio hacks, so some geek could avoid having to license the master recording. But soon realized that some lounge singer, picking up spare change doing commercials could never come this close to Iggy. The Stooges as background for sneaker commercials...this has got to be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

At least Nike has good taste in music (?) even if they do business with openly repressive dictatorships.
