Yet there's nothing remotely like it here in Atlanta (and, I suspect, in most markets around the country), especially since the once great college stations are now devoting themselves day & night largely to rap and "avant noise" music (what the late Gregory Dean Smalley called "the sound of monkeys fucking in trash cans") and the commercial stations -- even the ones that used to play the Raiders and the Supremes -- now broadcast little else besides the yowling of waiflike crooners and the sputtering bowel movements talent less neo-grunge stoners. (Do the coke-snorting dicksmacks who rush to put this swill on the air really think that Alanis is better than Jackie deShannon, that the losers who "sing" for Bush and Oasis are better frontmen than Manfred of the Woggles, or that Silverchair could play a Chuck Berry lick if their supply of pimple cream depended on it?) Yet, there IS hope.... I examine these lists like these -- Wayback Machine, Rumpus Room, Booze Party, Walk Don't Run, etc. -- and I realize that there's a healthy resistance movement afoot, and that I'm not the only one who feels that the Swingin' Neckbreakers, Buddy Holly, Man or Astro-Man?, the Bent Scepters, the Trashwomen, Roky Erickson, and Thee Headcoatees belong on America's airwaves. <...huge sigh....> - -- GREGORY NICOLL P.S. Isn't the band who first did "Let's Talk About Girls" actually called the Truth of Tongues, not the Tongues of Truth? ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

O'Brien" Subject: Guitar Wolf/Pleasure Fuckers/Nashville Pussy/Teenage Timebomb Last night at the Gallery in Normal, IL, I witnessed one of the most amazing frickin' rock & roll shows ever. I still can't believe it. Sure, Guitar Wolf was genius, but I'm still trying to get over Nashville Pussy's bass player blowing fire over the heads of the audience (there's no stage at this place, either). Jesus H. Christ! All four bands just blew me away, really. I don't know if this was a one-off, or if you can catch the three bands together again (Teenage Timebomb's from Normal), but, boy oh boy, what a blowout you're in store for if you do happen to see this triple bill. A true world-wide punk rock showcase.

Check out their rarely updated web page, http://www.urbekah.com/busykids Might not have the Murder Punk CDs in their online catalog, but definately email them and ask. Also I saw that Underground Medicine, a punk mailorder in CT, has both volumes of Murder Punk CDs. Not sure on their address, they always have an ad in MRR so you could check that. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

Bennet -- Bennet ^ Bennet PLLC - Washington ) Subject: Kaisers/Voxx fuzz To: Bomp list, Inet I just picked up the Kaisers' Beat it Up CD, and can't believe I haven't heard this incredible Merseybeat style garage combo before. Can anyone provide me with a discography or any other info? Have they ever toured the States? On another subject, I posted a while ago a guitar geek question about the reissued Voxx tonebender fuzz box, but I don't think it ever went through. Has anyone heard this pedal? Does it sound like authentic mid 60's fuzz, or is it just yer basic distortion box?
