Yeah, I realize that since Ear Piercing Punk came out that some of the songs have appeared on other comps and legit reissues, but then why include "Enough," "Ain't No Use To Me" and "Don't Crowd Me"? These are all on other comps, and in the case of The Ugly Ducklings, available from the mastertape on a legit comp. of their stuff. And "Primitive" is on tons of other comps! Yet, I have yet to find Dean Carter's psycho version of "Jailhouse Rock" on anything else bu the vinyl EPP. Anyways, don't get me wrong, I wasn't slagging the new version off - it's got some great other stuff not on the original (or other comps for that matter), it's just gthat after years of playing the record I got so used to the original set of songs.

I know they're BIG influences in FRIENDS OF DEAN MARTINEZ...which, by the way, I saw last week. I didn't post a review, because it was essentially the same(*great*) stuff as last time. And for you BOMP!-types, the drummer and guitar-player/lead singer from the Minstrels accompanied them this time. All I can say, though, and Brother Cleve and The Millionaire will disagree, because they were so well-received in Tampa, that THIS TOWN SUCKS!!! FRIENDS put on a fine, sublime show...and people treated it like BACKGROUND music...This one lame-a--s chick said to my brother, "This is *so* boring, it's like a cross between Pink Floyd and 'lounge' music." My brother's snappy retort, was: "THIS IS THE BEST F--KING THING I'VE EVER HEARD!" Any hyperbole aside, the bimbette deserved it...

Hi Laura, I saw the Monkees documentary, and can comment on it. I saw the Disney documentary and for someone who didn't have a good understanding of the Monkees phenomenon, it was pretty good. For someone like me, who is a big fan, it wasn't so good. They spent way too much time showing complete videos from the TV show, and hardly any time on what happened since HEAD. The Monkees just released their first album of all new material in 26 years ("Justus"), but it barely received any time in the show. Supposedly, Rhino is considering releasing it as a home video with additional footage. Much more was originally planned, but Disney cut it way back (from 2 hours is what I heard). ABC TV is planning on airing a different Monkees documentary on February 17th. There should be a big write-up in that week's TV Guide too ************ Robbie White ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Feb 1997 14:47:55 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: jewels list Small Faces' - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake? >Here's the exercice for today...what would be the others "way out" GB 60s >poppsy opus to include to the list below ?: > >1- The Zombies "Odessey and Oracle" >2- The Beatles "Sgt Pepper..." >3- Skip Bifferty S/T >4- July S/T >5- The Orange Bicycle " Let's take a trip on the ...."

They spent way too much time showing complete I had two separate reactions to the documentary. As a fan who was there at the time, I was sad that I wasn't seeing too much that I hadn't already seen. As a father with two little girls who have recently become Monkees freaks, I was thrilled with the show. They got a very good overview. It "brought them up to speed," so to speak. And really, it was fun to see it all again anyway. But I do wish somebody would actually dig a bit. I gave Justus a good review in Cosmik, but I'm aware I MAY have liked it because I'm sentimental about The Monkees. I actually got e-mail from somebody who bought it on my recommendation and hated it. "They SUCK! What, are you WORKING for them?" hahaha. No, ma'am, just doing the Lord's work...

Lisa Lindstrom mentioned a comp. of Ugly Ducklings stuff - can anyone tell me the title of that comp and what label its on? Also, Dean Carter's 'Jailhouse Rock' is available on "Born Bad vol. 6". The Cramps also covered it for "The Last Temptation of Elvis" tribute LP, and that version appears as the B-side to some of their "Stay Sick"-era singles.
