I met Dick Dale at his ranch outside L.A. last spring, and he was a gracious, unpretentious host. He is a self promoter to be sure, but why not? How many men alive have done so much for an entire genre of music? Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music passed last year, so DD is in increasingly exclusive company as a consumate innovator. DD let my Japanese friend Ugata (who arranged this junket...I didn't believe him when he said he had a invitation to visit DD at his ranch!) play his famous gold metal flake Fender guitars ("beauty and the Beast"). The tour of his ranch included the barn he built with his onw hands, and the wild mustangs he trained humanely. Mr. Dale has been criticized in some of the music press as arrogant, but I found him to be a very real person who has been around the block a few times (he's now 58!), and is really enjoying his post-Pulp fame. More power to him! Like many people of his era, he's kinda into new age stuff, but if that keeps him out of jail and detox centers, what's wrong with that? At the time of my visit, he had finished but had not yet released his album "Calling Up Spirits". He told us there were labels that had offered him alot more money, but he didn't go with them because "They were not good people". His heart is in the right place. My personal experience is this: Dick is not a dick, and, young "musicians" who can't bring themselves up often try to level the field by bringing others down. I'm sure the Impala's Justin will be selling insurance when he is 58! "Better shred than dead"---D. Dale Allan Waite P.S.--Surf Nuts-if you can get ahold of my friend Eddie Ugata's Japan only CD-"Knock 'EM OUT" by the El Caminos, you are in for a real reat! It's on Sexcite records...find it; you won't be sorry! ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

Well I missed the radio appearance, but did catch the show! I was pleasantly surprised by the Subsonics (hello, Laura), and Clay Reed really is a good guitarist. Gum popping aside, Buffy looked a little more "girl next door" than I usually see her dressed when she's out. Highlights of the set were a mean version of "I Can Only Give You Everything" and "I Love You, I Kill You", which went even faster than the recording. The Woggles came on and just tore things up. Really, over the past 6 months or so, they've gotten better almost every time I've seen them and Friday was no exception. Montague sent the women's hearts a flutter with "Mule Lip", they went all through the audience, they played most of the new album, Manfred's wit was as sharp as ever and they were just on! My only complaint is that I kinda wish they'd drop "Flash Flood" from their set. I've never seen them not do this song over the last 4 or 5 years. But if that's my only complaint then they're definitely doing something right. Brian Poust At 12:30 PM 3/31/97 -0500, you wrote: >OK, so I didn't go to their show AGAIN(harrumph!

I surmised that Brendan's gripe was with the drab Joe Houston kind of generic riff R&B (the kind of stuff that made jazzbos sneer at R&B honkers)...track after track of BLAT BLAT BLAT - da da da da da BLAT BLAT BLAT repeated endlessly. But even cheap crap labels encompass material that is endearing in its lousiness, I reckon (as well as unheralded stuff by genii like Ray Charles).

Anybody else have the scoop on >this- is Dick a dick, or what? for a good take on the dick dale story, with possibly a few kind embellishments, check the last issue of discoveries. the cover story is an extensive dick dale tale. dick certainly embodied the punk/diy manner which was refreshing. he is a little weird anymore but plays like no one else. todd ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

However, on the bright side, i recently learned that rhino is planning to = release a box set of his older stuff, which is long outta print and very = expensive if you do track it down. i plan to buy this the day it comes = out. joe emery death valley ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I was wondering what other groups in that vein might be making the rounds round here in the summer or whatever. I'd especially like to see the Kaisers, if they are still together. On their last (and first) US tour, they only got as close as Pittsburgh, PA... Speaking of the Kaisers, what would be the best mailing address to contact them? There are different addresses given on various albums and EPs, and I don't know what is the most trustworthy. Are they even planning on coming over this year? Dave || David J.

The group's name is spelled "Twinkeyz" I believe. Watch for a reissue cd to be coming out in the next few months! A friend of mine has been in touch with Twinkeyz main man Donnie Jupiter and they just remixed most of their original recordings as well as finding some tasty live cuts.
