Sorry if this is getting cross-posted to all your haunts, but it's the PR thing, you know... The new issue of Cosmik Debris is online at http://www.greatgig.com/cosmidebris, and it has interviews with Mark Naftalin (Butterfield Blues Band alum who's played with most of the greats of blues), Robert Rich (electro-acoustic ambient music guy and popularizer of the sleep concert concept), and Joe Bermudez of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (who talks about nearly every stage of making a 24k CD). Also an article on the Cowbunga surf box, and the usual slate of columns, politics, and basic stuff, including 49 record reviews covering a ton of genres. AND we're giving away two items. First, a limited edition (only 2000 pressed) marbled-pink vinyl LP of the Henry Mancini tribute, Shots In The Dark. It's a killer mixture of surfy exotica from Del-Fi. Second, a fantastic dub CD by Mad Professor. The Evolution Of Dub is the third CD in the Prof's Black Liberation Dub series, and it's quite the mind trip. There are table-of-contents listings for each drawing. Just fill out the form and hit submit. Drawings will be held on July 31st. If you can't get on the WWW, just send me e-mail saying which drawing you want to be in. That's about it. Enjoy. Deej ------------------------------ From: "D.J.

Deej ------------------------------ From: Mark Robinson Date: Mon, 8 Jul 1996 09:24:38 -0400 Subject: Tempos Hitomi(from Tokyo) Thanks for the scoop on the Tempos article in Kicks #6. I was able to pick up a copy of the disc this weekend. Crude. Inept. Great. Did Tim Warren release a Tempos compilation on the Crypt label about ten years ago? It's a bit foggy, but my chemically enhanced powers of recall have reminded me of a possible release. Does anyone else have any of the Justice releases on the Collectables? I am interested in knowing the recording techniques used on the Tempos reissue is apparent on the other Justice compilations. It appears that the motto at Justice was: "When in doubt, max the reverb and echo". And a final inquiry, is AIP gonna issue some more Pebbles disks this year?

Smith" Date: Mon, 08 Jul 1996 10:29:09 -0400 Subject: Bomp V96 #24 -Reply I don't know if anyone addressed this in the last week, so I will... I have seen Miriam's mid-70s Flaming Groovies fanzine where there is a photo fo her and a teenage friend next to a KKK headquarters bulding in her hometown (someplace on Ohio) the banner in the background says "God, Country, Race" etc. They are, as described, giving the stiff-armed salute. Miriam is also one of the nicest people I ever met. But she's got some answering to do and I've overheard her do some of that answering to puzzled fans. The story is that she and her friend were goofing around in their hometown as mid-70s teens in smallish towns do and they stood in front of this ridiculous racist organization and gave the Nazi salute, essentially being Beavis-y smart aleck kids. So, this is a photo of them ironically mocking the seriousness of adults in that neighborhood with their own teenage devil-may-care-ness... However, what those Ohio kids didn't realize is that all across the country are communities far more left wing than Ohio, who would never have allowed such a building to go up (at least not without lots of protests). So you show this picture to anyone from the coasts and they're like totally shocked the kids aren't throwing rocks at the windows. The fucked up thing as I understand this is that building was part of Miriam's everyday life, like some Union Hall, Elk's Club, or any other building in her town. How would that twist your worldview? Similarly Kicks has this total hard-assed anti-sissy, rockabilly attitude which absolutely does not reflect Billy & Miriam's personal behavior. I mean they go on about Sting's over-intellectual fey British behavior like they're condemning all kinds of people, which isn't what they're doing at all. I mean, I have seen stuff they did in print about how they don't like British artists, music after 1963, etc. Yet that's not really the case. Where would Kicks/ Norton be without Black Gay men like Esquerita? Not only did they record and tour with a black singer (the Great Gaylord), but they often talk about transvestite and gay friends and neighbors in Brooklyn. They have too many Jewish friends to count and have warned me about certain record collectors and fanzines which they said are edited by racists, etc. (oddly Black to Comm is not one of them, but I've only seen Chris write 2 or 3 racist sentences in issues). So, to responsibly answer the question- Miriam did pose for that photo, but she was a teenager who due to her midwestern upbringing probably didn't know how the outside world would view the photo. However, the story about Ron Asheton on the day of (Fred Smith's??) funeral showing off to two enamored scenester girls his large collection of Nazi flags, uniforms, books seems to be well confirmed... And didn't one of Bomp's Iggy releases discuss the Stooges antics as being Danny Sugarman fueled push-Iggy-over-the-edge for fun-isms? I think it's fair to say what happened with the Stooges in the mid-1970s practically happened *to* Iggy.

I am *reposting* this, because there has been so much interest. And, if you live in Florida, CD release party info is at the end! Cheers, Laura from the Baskervils The Tampa, Florida new wave rock band The Baskervils has organized a compilation called "Young Savage Florida" that will feature Florida resident and original drummer for Badfinger, Mike Gibbins! These are the first solo ever from this rock n' roll legend! His tracks are called "Dream Harder (Ballad of the Redcoats)" and "Layaway." Both tracks feature Mike on lead vocals, the first of which over heavy Steve Jones-ish guitar strummed by Screamin' Iguanas of Love/Nicoteens guitar player Greg Reinel. "Layaway" is a lovely Badfinger styled mid-tempo rocker with very pretty George Harrison-ish guitar leads. He recorded the tracks in a home studio as demos for an upcoming full length release. The compilation will also contain two songs each from the following Florida based artists: The Lears, Baskervils, Car Bomb Driver, Edison Shine, Leonard Croon Band, Loco Siempre, Vodkats, Hate Bombs, Escargot, Surf Kings, and The Rancid Polecats, and pianist John Stephan. Quantities will be extremely limited- 1000 to 2000 copies worldwide! Release date is set for July 19th...

Is this the same compilation that came out some 10 to 15 years ago? The cover had some circa '77 punkette on the cover, mohawk and all?!?! That LP was a treasured artifact that has since been lost over the years. I look forward to the reissue.
