I >was thinking of buying that or the new Makers album. Which one should I >buy? Are you kidding? The swingin' neckbreakers are one of the best bands around.Live they sound great, while The makers have a murky, muddy mix. Makers are more on attitude, less on the music...it depends on what you care about...music or attitude. The Neckbreakers play songs...The makers play riffs...they don't really write songs but rather good riffs...but then again, so do a lot of the new bands. I forgot to mention that the band recently played Coney Island High at St. Marks Place ,NYC. They set consisted of almost all new songs & covers, with just a few familiar songs from the past. But damn if the band didn't sound great, play like a machine, and just pull the whole thing off with all the new songs. They still haven't lost a step, and are one of the best around. (The manic covers of Love's "Can't Explain" and Rock Garden's "Super Stuff"-on Pebbles 13- were two of my fave covers of a set that included many strong originals.) They are now recording a new album, so look out for it and then a U.S. tour. Don't miss the great garage show at The Mercury Lounge this month with Neckbreakers/Insomniacs and maybe others.

The court Monday, without comment, refused to hear arguments by Wilson and co-author Todd Gold that it is unfair to force the Californians to defend themselves against a libel charge filed in New Hampshire. Wilson's former bandmate Al Jardine and Brother Records Inc. alleged in a libel suit that the book "Wouldn't It Be Nice" contains numerous false statements about the Beach Boys and Wilson's contributions to the band. Jardine and Brother Records filed the suit in New Hampshire after missing a filing deadline in California. In his appeal to the nation's highest court, Wilson argued that he has almost no connection to New Hampshire and should not have to defend himself there.
