O'Brien) Subject: Estrus benefits/tribute LP Okay, last night at practice a couple of things were brought up regarding Estrus that I wanted to lay on you all. First, I heard that there's an Estrus or Monomen tribute LP (can't remember which) in the works with a bunch of big major label-type bands like White Zombie and shit. Apparently, there's alot of bands like that that are Estrus freaks, and they want to help out. Anybody know anything about that? Secondly, I saw on the Estrus page that there's all sorts of benefit shows being set up around the country. Upon mentioning that we should set one up, I was presented with this thought: Maybe Crider doesn't want all this money pouring in for fear of tax troubles. "Estrus is not UNICEF," I was told. Can anybody shed some light on this issue for me? I would gladly set up a benefit if I knew for a fact that it was cool. Hell, in Bloomington/Normal, we could have an all ages show featuring the four garage/punk bands that make up the scene and easily pull in a grand. Somebody give me the definitive word, and I'll set one up. Something tells me that if there's mention of benefits on the Estrus page, Dave can't be too opposed to the idea. Am I right?

Say what, Fred?" do not oversahdow the wonderful groove. Christmas Comes But Once a Year - Amos Milburn/Please come Home for Christmas - Charles Brown (King) - A perfectly good 45 ruined by the fact that the hole is so off-center, the song plays at 42-47 RPM. Boo hoo. Camaro - The Cyrkle/SS 396 - Paul Revere and the Raiders - This was a special promo, "Created Exclusively for Chevrolet Dealers". These would both qualify for the cool car songs thread of a while back. Easily worth a dollar! Nobody Loves Me!/ Strawberry Sunday - The Ides of March(Kapp) Good songs, no "Roller Coaster"; in future must remember that they earlier material was on Parrot. Ballad (with the horns signaling the portent of "Vehicle" the following year)/ Psych. Niki Hoeky/Let the Water Run Down - P.J. Proby(UA) - Here is an odd reissue. A flip from a different single("That Means a Lot")? Worked for me, because the flip is what I wanted anyway! LP - Kaleidoscope Presents: The Exploding Underground Compilation. I bought this because it had two Sick Rose songs on it ("Yeah" and "Mr. Nobody"), however, when I got it home, I realized it had The Marshmallow Overcoat(hello Timothy Gassen) and THREE cuts from people in Tampa (hello Laura Taylor), Bill Bechtel, Robert Wegmann and the Immediates. Favorite Band name on the compilation: The Blue Up?, to which I say (!). Quite a good compilation from stem to stern; it was nice to have a beat version of Eddie Holland's "Leavin' Here"( The Headless Horsemen) in which all of the instruments are in tune (The Birds' bassist didn't tune his A string. Harrumph.). Also features the Cheepskates, The Birdmen of Alkatraz, the Projectiles, the 27 Various, The Mad Violets, The Blacklight Chameleons(Hello myself! They are from NYC, I am from Rockland County) and the Green Today. How did I get all of this? An elderly man came up to me and said that he could make the most wonderful soup with only a nail...

I do wipe my ass, but the only other ass I could invision myself wiping would be that of a child (I don't have one of my own, but have friends that do). Also, if I am a spammer, should I put that on my resume? I don't have my internet insults for idiots book with me, so perhaps someone could refresh me. There was actually a reason for me writing, I was wondering why I no longer get a listing at the begining of my digest. It was handy. How do I get there? http://kcnet.com/~paddygav/images.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 21:49:18 -0500 (EST) From: Phil Lerman Subject: Re: Estrus benefits/tribute LP On Sun, 2 Feb 1997, T.J.

"Estrus is not UNICEF," I > was told. Can anybody shed some light on this issue for me? I'm with you on this, while I agree with the tragedy of an independent label suffering like Estrus has, there's more important issues out there in which people's lives are at stake. AIDS, homelessness, etc. all seem more important to me than the resources lost in the fire. I'm not saying that it's wrong for people to be helping out, but when you see how music can bring people together to come to the aid of someone who needs it, ya' gotta' wonder about the people who only want to help out when it's something like this.
