Chris... Musically, I'd recommend going to Maxwells in Hoboken (just catch the PATH train from certain spots on 6th Avenue in Manhattan for a short ride under the river) on Sat. the 17th for Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon. His backing band will be ex-members of The A-Bones & Raunch Hands. As to the rest... well, without getting expensive I'm not sure I can help... at least not in Manhattan. I *have* heard that Brooklyn has tons of stuff much cheaper. You might, however, enjoy a trip to Mojo Guitars in Manhattan. It's on St. Mark's Place in the East Village, and is run by Chris Cush, ex-Headless Horsemen.

Hitomi - ---------- From: Bob Pisciotta Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 1996 12:34 AM To: Bomp@bolis.com Subject: CD Rot A recent issue of a music newsletter had a notice about a particular label's problems with something called CD rot. Evidently, this label's products, on occasion, visibly deteriorate--the CD itself becomes brown and mottled looking. I've heard about this before, but haven't paid much attention. For some reason this notice really caught my attention. Does anyone have any further information to share about this? Is this a real problem? Does it affect particular labels, or is it a more widespread problem? Is it related to the way the CDs are stored or manufactured? Can it be prevented or minimized? Can you continue to play CDs with "rot?" Is this an excellent excuse to stick with vinyl or is this all a pointless scare? I have a fairly large collection of discs and would like some reassurance. Thanks. Bob Pisciotta Prairie Village, KS ------------------------------ From: Hitomi I Date: Sun, 11 Aug 1996 00:13:27 +0900 Subject: RE: beat club cd rom Don I don't know about this at all.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Greg ------------------------------ From: Greg Colburn Date: Sun, 11 Aug 1996 01:37:08 -0800 Subject: Kiss???? Can anyone out there explain why seemingly sensible publications like Spin and Musician have jumped on the Kiss bandwagon? Is it just a cynical marketing ploy to goose up summer sales? Or do they really mean when they say Kiss is such a great band? I grew up in the '70s; I didn't like them then, and I still don't them now. They might be fun to see in concert just for the spectacle--music as background to the fire-breathin' tongue-waggin smoke-pourin' stage show--but Kiss as serious songwriters???? Come again. Not the usual discussion but what the hey? It's summer. Or as Kiss sang in all their Spinal Tappian profundity: "Let's get together, momma/you'll sweat."
