Hi All, Just a quick note to say: If anyone out there, in their never-ending quests for scorching garage-punkers, accidentally buys some awful yawn-worthy soft rock nonsense, make sure and let me know. I'll gladly take those duds off your trembling hands. For example: You're looking for "Mini Skirts" by the Gates of Eden and you accidentally end up with "Flower Man" by the Garden of Eden. You're stuck with an attrocious flower power audio-quaalude. Unload those late 60's near-misses on me. This may permanently ruin my cred on this list, but I adore soft psych-sploitation like the Love Generation, October Country and the Millennium (just as much as the Motards, Rip Offs, Sonics and Neckbreakers...). So if you happen to use the hit-or-miss method for finding good garage singles, and you miss... maybe I can help. Expecting Flames...

I drove 3 hours (round trip) just to catch it at the Brew & View theatre on the U of I campus. It was playing as part of a Psychotronic film festival that also featured Switchblade Sisters, Caged Heat, and one of the Cleopatra Jones flicks. I only stuck around to see BTVOTD and Switchblade Sisters, though. You do miss quite a bit in the pan and scan video version. In all the performance scenes, you get to see the entire band playing- with their manager and Z-Man shooting each other dirty looks from either side of the screen. Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! would 've been genius to see on the big screen- too bad you missed it. >I do have a chance to see "The Graduate" on the big screen!

The Eagles ''Greatest Hits'' album has now sold 24 (M) million copies -- the same as Jackson's ''Thriller.'' It took the Eagles a lot longer than Jackson to sell that many copies. It took the Eagles 21 years, Jackson only 13. Fleetwood Mac's ''Rumours'' is far behind in third place, with 17 (M) million copies sold. Three groups are a (M) million behind Fleetwood Mac in a three-way tie: Boston's self-titled debut, the soundtrack to ''The Bodyguard'' and ''Led Zeppelin Four.'' Hootie and the Blowfish's ''Cracked Rear View,'' Bruce Springsteen's ''Born in the U-S-A'' and Alanis Morisette's ''Jagged Little Pill'' are tied with 15 (M) million copies sold. The Eagles have a second album in the all-time top ten. ''Hotel California'' and ''Appetite for Destruction'' by Guns N' Roses have sold 14 (M) million copies each.

Whoa! I wish some girl group would do a cover of "Find It". >That'd be too cool. >- -T.J. Carrie Nations fans may enjoy the recently re-released Feminine Complex cd out on Teenbeat records. The Nashville all-female band released an lp on Athena back in I believe 1968, but I may be wrong. A weird mix of lilting vocals, garage spirit, and over-production. I've had the lp for 10 yrs now, and when I first saw B.V.D. I thought the Nations sounded like the Feminine Complex. Mind you the BVD soundtrack is done by over-produced sessions musicians. Don't expect girls in the garage vol. 8, from these Nashville kids in tennis dresses, they aren't the Pleasure Seekers, it's like a rock/lounge kinda thing... Teenbeat also put several demo tracks which are more raw on the cd. They are distributing a 7" of the two best songs from the lp and have plans to reissue even more dug-up FC tracks in mid-April. There is talk of some Feminine Complex reunion shows, but the women have family obligations, etc. "Dad has to take you to school today, you know I have band practice."

The words and music do not go together...the lyrics are bitter evocation of the Vietnam War experience by the speaker/singer but the music is jingoistically triumphant.
