I don't know about BMI, but ASCAP is sort of like a union for music writers. It stands fot the American Society of Composers and Producers. ASCAP protects proerty rights to songs, as they are written and performed. How many times have we heard stories from old bluesmen, or jazz musicians who never saw a dime for their compositions which later became standards? ASCAP collects money for all the writers when their music is played, sampled, covered, etc. and provides a registry for original material...like a copyright. Incidentally, ASCAP was founded in large part by one of my favorite bandleaders, John Philip Sousa. No joke. Allan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jan 1997 00:48:21 -0700 From: "Allan G.

The size no doubt aided by the venues closure for three weeks and the Mystreated's infrequent London dates. So after much "Hello how was Christmas" and "So what do you want at the bar" the music began to roll just before 10pm. The Legendary Too Drunk, as the name suggests, are a shambolic and inept bunch at the best of times. Their covers tend to be obvious ('You're Gonna Miss Me' and 'California Sun') and the frontman has a very posh and at times smart-ass manner. However he does show a strong line is self-deprecation and reminds me so much or Jeremy Gluck. Hey maybe he's a relative? Despite such reservations the Drunk are winners once they begin to drown in their set. Lots of smiles at mistakes on-stage and off, and an attitude which says "Fuck it - let's get on". Match this with an obvious love for three minute, three chord rock songs and a good time is had. In addition they have a killer commodity which simply over-rides any proficiency problems. Great songs like 'Magic Carpet Ride', 'Voodoo Too' and 'Five O'clock Girl'. More on this later. Usually when I see a band dressed in retro '66 gear I head for the exit. Maybe it's a case of preferring bands to pervert their musical influences a little. The Disturbed appear on stage decked in matching b&w striped tee shirts, leather jackets, black jeans/jackets and clutching Vox guitars. Think the Brood, remember the Fuzztones and you get the picture. The first half of the set comprised of 12 string garage-raga numbers especially reminiscent of the mid-sixties Bay Area bands and curiously the Barracudas again. Yeah that good! The second half took on a more rocking garage angle with the lead player ditching the 12 string and reverting to six. This band also have some fine originals, are much tighter than the Drunk and have two major trump cards. A snarling Keith Relf look alike on lead vocals and a totally insane woman playing Vox keyboards. When the organ is not required she stands to one side, picks up a tambourine, closes her eyes, smiles and shakes her head absorbed in the music. Now that is garage-rock attitude. Oh to be better looking and fifteen years younger! In short the Disturbed are a fine little band with a great sound, good stage presence and lots of potential. They are ready to record and definitely need signing by a label like Detour. If there are any record biz moguls out there have a look at their web page for more info' and some trippy pictures of these guys. By the way they perform a neat version of 'LSD' too. OK Mystreated fans hit "Page Down" NOW. Lord I have tried to like this band but things will not gel. Their stage set-up is impressive. Lots of vintage equipment and a singer/organist with more than a passing resemblance to John Stax of the Pretty Things. They are all excellent musicians and 'Mole' is a real stand-out drummer. In fact his mannerisms put me in mind of the drumming equivalent of picking up a china cup and stretching out the little finger. Charming. Anyway wander over to the record rack, pull down a copy of 'Pebbles : The Continent Strikes Back', and peruse those group shots on the sleeve. You are now looking at the Mystreated as they appeared in flesh and blood last Thursday evening. Perhaps this is the problem with such scholarly bands, they come across like a crazed scientists dismembering the corpse of mix-sixties Dutch Beat. After conducting a very thorough examination something is still missing. And in this case that "something" is SONGS. For all their ability, love of the genre and loyal fan base, they do not have any killer material. A simple three-minute tune which assaults you and sends you home smiling with the damn thing buzzing away. Honestly I really, really tried the other night but after thirty minutes of their Byrdsian aural wash the exit sign beckoned. Now here is the paradox. Those Too Legendary Drunk chaps are an honest, incompetent smiling bunch, but god bless 'em they have songs. In fact they have songs you can bang dirty great big six inch nails into and swing from. Who knows, with a little of the Liam Watson magic at Toe Rag Studios they could even deliver the pop punch of the 'Cudas. Now that would be a great achievement. Hopefully the Disturbed will soon gain record label interest and no doubt introduce rural Surrey to the sound of the Mojo Men. As for the Mystreated, well I'm looking forward to catching Mole's other band - The Embrooks - in a few weeks time. Perhaps they will succeed in injecting some stronger material into their set. Here's hoping.

This suggests a new thread to me... like there are some poppy hit 45s that expose the wild side of a group on their reverse side. The Tremeloes have this one flipside, "Let Your Hair Hang Down" which is either the flip of "Here Comes My Baby" or "Silence Is Golden" I think. Those A-sides, while pleasing late 60s Brit-pop, do not prepare one for the freakbeat action of "Hair" with its amazing feedback guitar break and manic drumming. Oww! I've bought about every other late 60s (Epic label in the US) Tremeloes 45 & lp but nothing else is that cool. Another couple: "Sugar and Spice" by the Cryan' Shames (on Destination) is backed with "Ben Franklin's Almanac" (also on their debut Columbia lp) which is a blastin' bit of punkadelia, maybe the Shames' best cut? "Out of Sight" by the Buckinghams on USA is backed with "Don't Want To Cry," some 3-chord mayhem of the first order with a blazing geetar break (it's also on their USA lp).

Hi Laura, My family had two at different times in the mid-seventies. A saloon model and an estate. The Anglia went out of production in the late sixties/early seventies and we found ours in scrap yards. Mum and Dad were not on large incomes and what with four kids to feed most of our cars were "scrappers". (OK put away the hankies). Both were good runners, consumed little petrol ("gas" to you) and were easy to find spares for. The saloon model had a very distinctive back window which cut back into the body at a 30 degree angle. You could always spot one coming down the road. In addition to the Anglia's we had a Wolsey, a Cambridge and an Oxford. All three were very big (by UK standards) family cars with lovely upholstered seats, powerful engines and great suspension. They were ideal for stuffing the kids into on summer days and then heading for the Yorkshire or Lancashire seaside. Wow did my dad have to call into the petrol station a lot with them though. Funnily he still has great affection for those old bangers. They certainly taught him all he needed to know about motors. Laura the expression "Steven, can you come out and help me bleed the brakes for five minutes.", still rings loud and clear in my ears. Those "five" minute sessions, on cold January nights, put me off cars for life. Period. I have an amusing/sad story about our Anglia Saloon if anyone would care to hear it. But after all this is the Bomp Records group!

I've been thinking about the Estrus fire and the apparent loss of the master tapes to so much good stuff -- Man or Astro-Man?, Galaxy Trio, Volcanoes, Satan's Pilgrims, Jackie & the Cedrics, Woggles, etc., etc. -- and I wanted to adopt the equivalent of a black armband or something. So I went to Wax'n'Facts, which is pretty much Atlanta's best record store, and started looking for Estrus souvenirs. I charged a buncha Estrus vinyl on my credit card but was fully aware that this wouldn't help the label much. The store also had a number of cool shirts with the logos of Estrus bands, but none with any kind of Estrus logo imprinted on them. Again, not much help to Dave and the whole Estrus operation, either. So then I was home last night watching the Golden Globe award show and I saw lots of AIDS ribbons on the lapels of celebrities, and then it hit me -- a GREAT idea for helping Estrus generate some rebuilding money. How about a special button, T-shirt, sweat shirt, and jacket decoated with a blazing Estrus logo? (A cool Estrus crest, surrounded by stylized flames...) These items could be sold for a considerable markup over their cost, specifically as a fundraiser. For example, the button could sell for $5, and the t-shirt for $15 or $20. The sweat shirt could be, say, $30 and the jacket (I'm thinking of a typical $25 black denim jeans jacket with a large Estrus patch sewn onto its back) for $100 or so. Benefit concerts are a great idea but are by nature a very regional thing (and don't really generate THAT much cash), and a benefit recording would take too long to generate any serious financial return. But it seems to me that for a nominal start-up cost the label (or some caring friend of the label who's willing to undertake this project) could have some of these items made up fast and start generating some cash very quickly. I'd appreciate it if somebody close to Estrus could forward this idea along to them. - -- GREGORY NICOLL g.nicoll@genie.com ------------------------------ Date: 20 Jan 97 13:53:58 -0400 From: Laura Taylor Subject: RE: Re: VALET OF THE DOLLS "It's just my nature to do weird stuff..."

About another car song , I love Cadilac.(Maybe two songs have same title??) My fave Cadilac is by Renegades(UK '60s) . Many Scandinavian bands played the song.

Many Scandinavian >bands played the song. Hitomi, Did the Renegades do Cadillac as in "Brand New Cadillac"? Correct me if I'm wrong. I actually do not think I've ever heard their version of the song; I've only heard that they do it. I'm not sure what my favorite car song is. Would "Go Little Honda" count? (it's a motorcycle, right?) Let's change the rules of this thread to "favorite vehicle song" instead of "favorite car song"; then I can also include The Ne'er Do Wells' "Skybolt X-66". (hey, it's got wheels!!! ;)) I have another car song in my head, but whenever I get close to recognizing it, it drives away!!! Gotta look through the records tonight.

(1976) and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens under pseudonyms. All three were directed by Russ Meyer. I think he's been saying as of late that the fact that the 3 were made is supposed to say something (a lot??) about Hollywood. - -pHIL http://www.picante.com/~phil htlaehruoyotsuodrazaherasegassemsdrawkcab ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Jan 1997 08:16:53 +0800 From: Brendan Lepschi Subject: Bitchin' Camaro...
