They also released a single with a title so long that there was room for only 1:04 minutes of music. The title is a bunch of nonsense syllables like Shoop Shoop Rama Lama Ding Dong Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, or some such. I wish E! would re-rerun the Smother Brothers shows with the commentaries. I saw the Blues Magoos singing Pipe Dream and I didn't have a tape ready. Arggh. I hope you find the single, Jeff.

I thought they were the Clingers... They appear on a commonly avail episode of American Bandstand from 1969 which I have on video some place... Also, can someone describe Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies? I heard this got re-released recently and was curious if anyone could describe it...

Best always, "mad" louie ------------------------------ Date: 18 Feb 97 14:27:59 -0400 From: Laura Taylor Subject: Pulp, Andrea, Manfred, and Mick Yes! It's bad to be back, after having such a swell vacation. Before I launch into that, though, I'd like to defend Pulp as not one of those new, monosyllabically-named bands. Number 1. They are not new, they've been around for about 15 years. 2. They, to me, are very much harbingers of Roxy Music-styled glam, which I dig, hard, baby. OK-I feel better. ANDREA: I met this lovely-list queen, and she is as hip-and-now(or "yesterday") as she presents herself on this forum. Moreover, she was very nice to me when I met her in her hometown. She was with Mick of the Hatebombs at the Combustible Edison show(both swank-i-lee dressed, btw)-but I missed the Lyres for personal reasons... MANFRED: I get to see the Woggles, I hope, on Fri in Orlando. REKKIDS: Weird scores: BORA BORA and MIDNIGHT ON THE CLIFFS-Les Baxter Andy Williams as a swinger, a scary Jim and Tammy Faye Baker puppet album. I also bought the soundtracks to THE APARTMENT and SWEET CHARITY....plus....I was given for V-Day the SCHULMADEN REPORT CD which comes HIGHLY recommended from me...And, I scored the DARK SHADOWS 30TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION and PEREZ PRADO'S "VOODOO SUITE."

FL ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 18:31:22 -0500 (EST) From: Frank Uhle Subject: MC5 Lore I talked to Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson of the MC5 briefly last night. He was in town to plug an upcoming gig and visited a friend's radio show. I asked him about the recording of my all-time favorite MC5 track, "I Just Don't Know" (a 45 on AMG records, pre-lp). I don't know if this has been documented before, but he confirmed my suspicion that this song was recorded at the same session as the legendary A-Square 45 "Looking at You"/"Borderline." It was issued as the b-side of a second pressing of the 5's debut disc "I Can Only Give You Everything" and has generally been assumed to be an outtake from that earlier session from ca. '65-'66. I'm guessing they gave this track to the owner of the AMG label in some sort of deal to get out of their contract with him (?). (All the aforementioned cuts are available on a Bomp/Total Energy/Alive 10" album by the way). While he was at the station he was checking out our record collection, saying he might have to be restrained from grabbing some of the Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and John Lee Hooker lps there. Also he was telling me about the fact that the 5 were treated like kings while in Europe touring, but given no respect at all in the US. In particular, he mentioned the filming session of the "Thunder Express" TV performance in France (ca. '71-72?) where the group stayed in an old castle and had huge spreads of food every day. He said each night they would go back to their rooms and their hosts had a "drop dead" gorgeous woman in every guy's room (who spoke no English) ready to take care of their needs.
