The Fugs First Album is a reissue of The Village Fugs. Check out the recent Ace/Fantasy reissue of the Fugs stuff, with TONS of unissued material! Has anyone who's a Fugs fan from the 60s heard their 80s reunion stuff to be able to compare & say if it's worth it? And does anyone have a copy of the Fugs backers, the Holy Modal Rounders LP The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders they can sell, trade or tape for me?

Talking about the Fun Things (Vikings are covering "Savage"), Blair sent me that fine piece of history some weeks ago. - ---------------------------------------------------------- The Vikings are a sort of side project for everyone involved. The group includes members of Kare & The Cavemen, The Yum-Yums (*fantastic* group), TBRNGR, and The Devil Dogs. Yeah, that's right... The Devil Dogs. The leader of the group is Steve Baise, the DD bassist. How did he get involved with a bunch of cool Oslo types? Well, he was married to a gal in The Blind Bats (another Oslo group) and would be there for a few weeks at a time. The group played some live gigs as Steve & The Devil Frogs. The record was originally s'posed to be billed as being by God Lived. (2 points to the genius who can figure out the name.) Anyway... The Devil Dogs *also* covered a Fun Things' track - "Time Enough For Love." I know Keith Streng of The Fleshtones and Dave Faulkner of The Hoodoo Gurus were pretty revved by the DD version of this when they caught the group one night at Continental in NYC. Sadly, the D. Dogs are no longer with us. Besides the Vikings' stuff, Steve has also recorded with members of Japanese groups The Jet Boys & the 5,6,7,8s as Pearl Schwartz. Singer/guitarist, the Fabulous Andy G. has recorded and performed with girlfriend Candy Del Mar (ex-Cramps) in a group called Los Primos. Drummer Mighty Joe Vincent was with them for a while, but now plays and records with his girlfriends otherwise all-female combo, The Prissteens.

I recently got a review copy of the album he released last year that had redone versions of his hits, including "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning." He's much more country, relaxed songwriter than rocker. "Wild Thing" is very much the exception to his music. He's much closer to Arlo Guthrie or Steve Goodman than the Troggs. Enjoy!

O'Brien) Subject: all "Louie Louie", all the time... Recently, we were talking about the radio station in Peoria that played nothing but "Louie Louie". In Tuesday's Chicago Tribune (Tempo section), Bob Greene did a write-up on that station's short-lived all-"Louie Louie" format. Apparently, WMXP picked the song because it was the most popular song in the world among people who are between the ages of 35 and 49. Of the 1,200 some odd versions of "Louie Louie", WMXP had access to only 25- and 90% of the time they opted to play the Kingsmen's rendition. As I mentioned before, it only lasted six days, afterwhich the station announced it was switching to an all-oldies format. Bob Greene had this to say: "With all-"Louie Louie," at least you would know that when you turned your radio on you would be happy. How many stations- radio or TV- can give you that guarantee?"
