Sonny I hate to speak ill of the dead, but let's face it, Sonny sucked. I mean c'mon, I can think of a thousand other things I could be listening to. Although the Sonny and Cher show was horrible enough to be good. The pre-lift Cher, ya gotta love it.

If you're not used to The Daily Show, the interviewers (A. Whitney Brown did the ? interview last night) ALWAYS make fun of who they're interviewing (smug? try tongue-in-cheek)... it is, after all, on COMEDY CENTRAL. And ya gotta admit, the shit ? was saying WAS pretty off-the-wall, wacky shit. But it was all done in good clean fun, and like I said, was very humorous to watch. My favorite question was "Why '96' Tears? Why not 97?" hehe... kopper - -- ===================================================================== | Kopper & Jaimz - THE WAYBACK MACHINE - KDHX FM 88.1/St. Louis, MO | | The past, present and future of primitive garage rock'n'roll, R&B,| | 60's punk, surf & rockabilly - Saturday nights, Midnight-3am (CST)| | Visit The Wayback Machine website: http://www.inlink.com/~kopper/ | ===================================================================== ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

These were lps put out ca. the late '80s (give or take a few years) and contain extremely rare Michigan psych 45s including artists like The Orange Wedge, Up, Dick Rabbit, Glass Sun, Pitch Blende, etc. Some of the cuts are on other comps now, but these have never been on cd and generally aren't that easy to find. A friend of mine put them out and still has copies as far as I know... There is a Michigan comp on an Eva cd (originally an lp) too, containing more garage oriented stuff. Then there was a cd called Michigan Mayhem, which is a recent issue by the guy who did "Let 'Em Have It," a pretty crudely done comp of stuff both rare and not so rare. These both have more familiar (and comped elsewhere in better sound, in some cases) artists including the Rationals (represented by several unreleased tracks). These comps were both mastered on audiocassettes at home, by the way. I imagine they can both still be had through the usual sources. Oh and way earlier there were a couple (or 3?) "Highs In the Mid-60s" lps of Michigan garage, mostly pretty good stuff but somewhat spotty sound-wise. These are probably still around from Bomp for not a lot of dough. I probably have missed a couple things (The Cicadelic and Collectables comps of Wheel's 4 material, boots of the Best of the Hideouts and Friday at the Cage A Go Go lps, When the Time Run out (isn't this a Mich. comp.?) side two of The Chosen Few Vol. 2..., "Thee Unheard Of" a comp of supposed acetates (though it turns out that the acetates were made in the '80s from original rare 45s and falsely represented as vintage unreleased items) Just wanted to add this info in case some of the similar titles and groups on these comps were confusing anybody.

Sonny Sonny has some cool wax if you look for it, though. Trashy, but cool... Solo 45s (all on Atco ca. the mid-60s): "Laugh At Me," his solo semi-hit is fun, talking about how he's going to follow his own path even if folks laugh at him (what a f*&%in' rebel! Remember, he looked pretty damn radical around 1965 with his fab caveman vest (which even Moulty and the Barbarians mention in their 45 "What the New Breed Say"!) "The Revolution Kind," sort of a follow up and even more amusing, I think. "Pammie's on a Bummer," a heavy one (!) Also Sonny and Cher cut a groovin' Spectorish cover of the Zombies' "Leave Me Be" which I totally dig. (Sonny hung out with Spector and played on some of Phil's classic sessions). These may not make up for years of Republicanism, but they need to be recognized nonetheless. And they're just the ones I've happened across, I'm sure there are more.
