After playing with them for three-for months, Greg quit and came back to Kingston were he played in a couple of other bands before moving to Vancouver a year or so later. They also did record some songs with him, but it's never been released. He got fed up with them because, if I remember correctly, he had problems with their manager. I met their manager when I started seeing them as far back as 1989, and he was a real high-roller, fast-talker "get the band famous" kind of guy who irritated almost everyone I knew.

The Pebble Episode (J2) The Conchords (AGA) from Pennsylvania? Glenn ------------------------------ From: "Glenn Sadin" Date: Fri, 20 Sep 96 09:59:36 PST Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #96 Hitomi sez... The 4 Beatles songs CD of Tokyo Beatles is not good. Because in truth they didn't play temselves at the time. They sung only ,with old styled studio musicains playing. I suspected this! I said about one more new CD which was performed by themselves! (The sound of 1965 solid record CDSOL1031) This is something strange ,but I think this is a oldest garage stuff in Japan. I didn't know this! Is this any good? I may buy a copy the next time I'm in Japan (maybe in January). ********************************************************************* Bob sez... I*m the proud first-time owner of a NEW ELECTRIC GUITAR. What kind did you buy? Here*s my problem. I*m leaving town by airline--and I*d like to take my instrument with me. Friends and co-workers have suggested placing the gig-bagged instrument into a hanging garment bag and asking the flight attendants to place this in one of the on-board compartments. I wouldn*t even think of checking this thing via regular baggage handling. I can't really offer advice about this, but I would be definately nervous about bringing a guitar on a plane. I've heard that it's a good idea to loosen the strings before putting the guitar on the plane; I think it has something to do with the air pressure or something.

It briefly discusses the reissue projects his label is working on... I am not sure which label he works for, but for some reason I believe it's WEA Don >>> 09/19/96 11:48pm >>> To let you all know, at major label headquarters (all indie pretentiousness stops here), I am working on a Pearls Before Swine Reprise comp. and an Electric Prunes comp with never before heard songs from the original sessions as well as other amazing surprises. After, I am wanting to do something with our Fugs catalogue and that of The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. We also have some Link Ray crap from EARLY on when we were still doing single deals. It takes time, so bear with me. .... David ------------------------------ From: "Donald G. Smith" Date: Fri, 20 Sep 1996 15:37:46 -0400 Subject: flying with guitar what do friends do when flying with guitar? 1) put it in a hardshell case and put the fragile sitckers over the handle, etc so that the airport emplyees can't quickly open it and plunk around on it. I was told by airline employees that this is a big problem. many people complain that the guitar was there but pedals, etc get swiped... 2) very important- de-tune the guitar or remove the strings. friends going to Japan bent the necks on all their guitars and basses due to the vagaries of high-altitude air pressure. I think this is also a problem with tube amps, but the amp went by UPS, so whatever... 3) bring it on board and serenade the travellers (worked for the Nun in Airport) this may work better for bompsters if "The Thing that You Do" is playing in-flight this Fall.

I would also like to apologise for those horrible postings you received last week. This new PC runs WIN95 so I thought it would be a good idea to use Windows Exchange for e-mail.
