I was out of town last week, so I didn't get a chance to chime in on the Monks thread, but I was wondering if anyone has checked out the book (autobiography?) written about the Monks. I think it's about 400 pages, and I'm wondering whether anything that long about such a short career is readable.

Did yo buy the CD"GS I LOVE YOU.Japanese garage bands of the '60s"? from Big Beat? It is compiled and resarched by Alec Palao!(you know he wrote the article of Art collection on Cream Puff War) His liner about GS is best as written in English. Yes! I just found this CD yesterday, and it is excellent! I'd never heard the early recordings of the Spiders before, so that was a real treat. In fact, I am working right now on licensing some Japanese GS recordings for re-release in the United States. I can't write you now, because I don't know your E-mail number. please tell me it.or watashi ni E-mail o kudasi. number ha hitomi@kiwi.co.jp desu . Sugu anata ni email o shimasu!

I know of none except NAILS from Vanderhoof BC who, when they played with the Hi-Fives and the Evaporators in Prince George BC, stuck up a giant paper mache Jesus on a cross which bled tomato sauce in their last song. After the show was over the drummer had to look after the 10 foot Jesus but had no way of getting him home cuz the rest of NAILS took off to a party. He eventually strapped Jesus to the roof of his buddy's Honda Civic. Then it started to rain and Jesus started melting glue, paint and ketchup all over the car. It was a holy mess and the guy who owned the car freaked out and Jesus ended up in a wet gooey pile by the side of the road. Do other Christian bands have to go through this kind of godawful shit? ------------------------------ From: Mark Robinson Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 17:20:44 -0400 Subject: Highly recommended.

The book looks into the lives of ex-GI's in Germany playing a brand of music that was the farthest thing from conventional pop of the time. Rather some autobiographical ranting about the loss of innocence the author details the Hamburg night life and the responses five guy's in black with shaved heads received through out Europe. Uncompromising and fun. Mark >>> Caressa Bennet -- Atty-Caressa Bennett - Washington 07/22/96 12:49pm >>> To: Bomp list, Inet Hi, folks.
