While it's not the best live record I've heard, I think it's a nice package and has some good tunes on it. I didn't notice Peter's voice being that bad, but now that you mention it... I enjoy it cause it's got some staples of the band's live act ("Got A Line On You", "Moondawg", "Get Down With It", etc.) I'll try to track down the '82 show, which sounds pretty cool. Do you know what radio station it aired on and the date? Would like to be sure I get the right one if I come across it somewhere! Say, do you remember when the Fleshtones were at Mardi Gras on MTV hanging out with the Bangles and the Hoodoo Gurus? (Those were the days...) That was pretty damn cool, seein' them all jamming to "Get Down With It." I think I have that videotape around here somewhere... Also, thanks to Paul for bringing back memories of the Mad Violets. So, what's Dino Sorbello up to these days? Be seeing you, Bill ------------------------------ From: Blair Buscareno Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 09:32:28 -0700 Subject: Reverend Joe & Captain PJ on WCUW Well, I took a look at the WCUW web page, thanks to some of the Worcester crowd posting the URL (http://www.splusnet.com/wcuw/). And from there I started looking for radio programs that might belong to Reverend Joe Longone and Captain PJ. Well, I found 'em! Joe does a show from 9-11 PM on Saturday nights called the Rock'n'Roll Party and PJ does his on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning from Midnight till 2 AM. Joe's is described as being 50s / 60s, doo wop included, while PJ's is geared more to garage & psych. When in Worcester, check out 91.3 FM at these times. I've also sent a msg to the station asking them to convey a msg to Joe from me, to find out if his book is still available.

Seeing a crazed rockabilly style band, complete with a stand-up bassist and drummer baging out really fast and chaotic versions of "You're Gonna Miss Me," "Down On Me" and "Take It As It Comes" was great! Alsi of note is Bals' side-project band Ug & the Cavemen, who out out one album, and also the Bananamen EP where the Stingrays pretended to be some lost/mystery band playing three songs the Cramps did. That's a real rarity, if you ever see it, scoop it up.

So, > what's Dino Sorbello up to these days? Dino's still living in the same apartment on East 6th St. in the East Village, as far as I know. I haven't seen him for about a month or so. Musically, he's still going with Laughing Sky. As per usual for Dino, he's more psych than anything else. I think Matt Dietrich told me he picked up their LP and liked it. I'm not as into them... too psychedelic for my tastes. I always thought Dino's best stuff came with the Mad Violets ("Psilocybe," for instance.) Of course, he also played with the mid-80s NYC garage supergroup, The Lords of the New Surf.

However, some people have written asking how much, so I figure I'll save us all alot of trouble right now... TS 55, at 54 pages, runs $3 + 2 stamps if you're in the US. (Outside the US, contact me personally for prices and I'll figure it out based on postage costs... which means a trip to the Post Office. YECH!) Contained inside are interviews with Teengenerate, The Drags, & Blacktop's Alex Cuervo. Also found are articles on the Outsiders, The Greek Scene, Ray Davies live, and an article on Jeffrey Lee Pierce.

Both incarnations (ooh a little flower pun) were a lotta fun at shows in Boston.

I dig the Laughing Sky album also, although it is indeed heavily psych (but then again, I like that sort of thing).

Is it easy to find? I saw it on an lp in a used bin; band line up looked top-notch. Vinyl was too scratched to buy for test-listen, though. No one in the shop had any knowledge of the product. - - Frank ------------------------------ From: "Derek Grime" Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 16:51:30 -0400 Subject: Ug & the Cavemen On Jul 25, 7:18am, Lisa Lindstrom wrote: > Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #42 > The Stingrays were a great band, and it was cool they way they mixed up > all their infuences.

This might be my favourite record of all time... Did they do any other singles or was it just the one Lp? This was SO ahead of it's time! From the cover art to the excerpts from old movies inbetween songs... What a great disk. The Bananamen were pretty hot as well. - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Derek Grime EMail: derek@coredp.com C.O.R.E.
