There was a big debate on the radio this morning about whether it was good or awful. It passed the acid test; my 12-year old son said "That was a good show, those guys are pretty funny". It wasn't pathetic, I think, because of Mike Nesmith's involvment. Those reunions with just the three of them seemed a little desperate. He retained the flavor of the original show quite well.

My questions: Is there an estimated date yet? Is it to be a re-release of the original recordings? In any event, I was quite pleased to hear that this stuff will finally and affordably available for US consumption.

I don't think I've ever heard Pulp, but now I'm a bit intrigued. True confession here: I do like the song blur put out a couple of years back, "girls who like boys who like boys", etc... Once in a while, I still hear it. It has a fun, new-wavey feel to it. I've never heard anything else Blur has done. I'm not sure if I like any other monosyllabically-named bands. Can't think of any others at the moment! - -Andrea "They call us lonely when we're really just alone" - Aztec Camera ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Feb 1997 14:05:04 -0500 (EST) From: Squishy@aol.com Subject: Re: New Race: BOMP! release In a message dated 2/20/97 3:35:54 PM, you wrote: <> It's planned for sometime this year, not on Bomp but on our sister label, Total Energy. So I don't have any details. But I'm pretty sure it'll be the same stuff that was out before in Australia, haven't heard about any unreleased stuff turning up. But you never know.

Before this thread vanishes into oblivion, I wonder if anyone could verify for me if these were the same guys who ran Warwick Records in New York in the late '50s (Johnny & the Hurricanes, etc). Don't know why, but the name jogs my memory in that direction.

(I guess that seperation of church and state clause dont' count here, huh?) I'm not a Pat Boone fan, I think he's not only lame, but a bit of a fascist. Still, a little humour isn't harmful. Isn't it a Christian saying "A merry heart doeth good like medicine?" My grandmother, who I believe likes Pat Boone(and to her credit, Johnny Cash) always sez that... PAT BOONE LOSES WORK CAUSE OF HEAVY METAL (Los Angeles) -- Pat Boone's heavy metal phase is costing him a job. A Christian television network has canned Boone's gospel show after thousands of viewers called to complain about the heavy metal album he recorded. Boone says he may also lose a charity golf tournament he's hosted for 20 years. Boone says his Christian followers think he has ''burst out in some demented way.'' "GIDGET'S" DAD DIES (Los Angeles) -- ''Gidget'' fans know Don Porter as Sally Fields' T-V dad. Fans of Ann Sothern know Porter as her boss in two sitcoms. Porter was a popular character actor on T-V and in the movies. He co-starred in ''Gidget'' for the one season that show was on the air starting in 1965. He was Sothern's boss in both ''Private Secretary'' from 1953 to '57 and again in ''The Ann Sothern Show'' from 1958 to '61. Porter has now died in Los Angeles. He was 84.

Andrea : My friend Mod was at the show and told me the following... "Jeff was drinking etc. The set was a short one cause Jeff set the stage up himself which took some time. No stage hands. Boston pulls the plug anywhere between 1 and 2 am. They gave him 2 am and that was it. No encore. Check it out, It was to be a record release party but I did not see any recordings for sale. Guess I'll check out the local Tower Records." By the way what do you know about the new Lyres record? Steve C. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V1 #46 *************************
