And yeah, the Woggles' HQ is still located in Athens on Miegs Street, same address that's listed on their records and fan club stuff of assorted vintages. The Hillbilly Frankenstein connection is fairly obvious, as for the past several years Jeff Walls has produced all the Woggles records and frequently guest-stars on several songs during their hometown Athens hometown gigs. I'm not sure if his Hillbilly tracks on the forthcoming split EP are older demos or new stuff recorded after HF's hiatus, but I do know that Jeff's been real busy with composing new Guadalcanal Diary material and their haven't been any HF shows around here in a while. So...El Vez was in a band with Alejandro Escovedo? Wow. Woulda liked to have seen that. I'm glad somebody FINALLY mentioned that Escovedo was also in the Nuns, as I never much liked anything by True Believers or Rank & File but, wow, the Nuns RULED!! The Nuns sounded sorta like Debbie Harry & Lou Reed backed by the Sex Pistols, and the two Nuns albums I own are some of the smokin'est discs in my whole 4000+ rekkid collection. Stunning stuff. (They opened for the Pistols at the historic Winterland show, which was the last gig the Pistols ever played with Sid Vicious.) El Vez's wild stage act is pretty amazing to watch, but lately it's become so overwrought with South-of-the-Border politics and fearsomely militant Latino flag-waving that I, as a non-Hispanic, felt extremely uncomfortable after about 40 minutes of it, sorta like a Talmudical at a Nuremburg Rally. Maybe it's because I wasn't drinking that night and was unusually clear headed. Anyway, I was amazed and impressed by the scope of the show and the depth of wit in the songs & skits, but couldn't help but feel it was all aimed at putting one huge joke over at the expense of clueless, Bud Longneck- sucking gringo buttondowns. Don't think I'll be back. The big Atlanta Surf Festival is set for June 21. I don't believe that ANYTHING has actually been signed, but the tentative lineup includes the Chantays, the Fathoms, Agent Orange, Jon & the Nightriders, Squid Vicious, the Penetrators, Thee Phantom 5ive, and the Space Cossacks. But before everybody gets too excited and starts re-routing their vacations, PLEASE be aware that the ink isn't on the contracts yet. One of the bands even told me that they've not yet heard a peep about what kinda money they're being offered, and they're really getting a bit edgy about that. - -- GREGORY NICOLL Atlanta ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 10:07:33 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: Woggles/Escovedo/Surf Speaking of surf, any new recordings for Laika and the Cosmonauts on the horizon? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 10:13:39 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Poust Subject: Re: Woggles Anyone on the list going to the Woggles show?

E's cook from Graceland appeared on Letterman a few years back, and this is how she did it: Two slices of Wonder bread. Spread liberally with creamy peanut butter and Fluff. Slice a bannana the long way and layer slices on top. Press together. In a skillet, melt one whole stick of butter and fry the sandwich until golden brown. When she dumped the sandwich into the butter the crowd let out a low moan, suddenly realizing that it may not have been the pills that killed Elvis. Letterman declined her offer to sample the delicacy. Craig ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V1 #53 *************************
