Talk about frat party! >(lots of beers were drunk/or thrown out into the street), Yeah, they were pretty sober here because the stupid club only gave the entire band two pitchers! But I was buying Timmy drinks b/c it was his birthday, and afterwards at my house I was making Singapore Slings and I recall him asking for another, and another...so little Timmy MAY have been a tad drunk. >John Hentchman had 7 farfisas. I believe Fred Fortune has at least 5 organs, but not necessarily all Farfisas. They seem to be fairly abundant there in the midwest (unless, of course, those bastards snatched them all!). Maybe I should move there. (brrr!!! maybe NOT!) John was pretty impressed with my Farfisa Amp. Oh, yeah, the Hentchboys are playing in Oxford, Mississippi this Saturday, 9/21 with the Royal Pendletons, the Hatebombs, the Woggles and I forget who else..it's one of those mini-garage fests that pops up in the Southeast all the time and has the same bands. The week after, I heard there is one on a PIG FARM in Birmingham, Alabama with the Pendletons, Hatebombs, Woggles, and the Fleshtones. (so the North is represented in both of these shindigs!) SCOTS may be involved in these, but I'm not sure...If I were still in New Orleans I'd probably be at these...sigh...although Birmingham is probably about 8 hours away from NOLA, I think. The South rules for these things; the bands are so totally into it. It's ALWAYS the same bands, too. I think maybe the Oblivians and/or Impala are in- vovled as well...my mind is fuzzy.

I had no idea that the Minstrels were still around! Are they the same combo with a 12" out on What Wave from a few years ago? Also good to hear that the Friends of Dean Martin(ez) were cool. They're one of my fave local (Tucson) acts, and their Sub Pop LP is fun. Dennis, are you back in Tampa? What's new with the Lears -- any recent releases? Clue me in, and we'll get caught up!

There was a band named Tokyo Beatles in '65 Japan. They released some flexi disk and disappered with unknown. We thought they are not cool because of theri foolish name for long, Anyone didn't care them, so the disk was not reisuued. But in this year their disk are reissued as CD. And we astonished to find they are cool !! There is a 4-song CD by the Tokyo Beatles that's been imported to the USA. Pretty goofy versions of Beatles songs, some sung in Japanese! ************************************************************** TP sez... I'm in a band that has around 15 names, one for each musical genre it dabbles in (e.g. Gekkeikan - speed metal (from a Japanese beer bottle) Isn't Gekkeikan a brand of sake?
