The guy who was Phil Spector's promo man at the height of his coolness, the guy who recorded with the Wrecking Crew, the guy who bagged 16-year-old Cher (and don't tell me she wasn't hot) while he was pushing 30?? I don't know the ages of all of you Bono-bashers, but I suspect your primary memories were formed when they became a somewhat campy (though certainly not talentless) TV comedy team and are somehow a slightly embarassing memory filed in your irony-crammed brain cells next to The Brady Bunch and GREASE. In the '60s Sonny wrote, produced and performed a lot of excellent pop music, the best of which stands up next to any classic single you care to name. Maybe he didn't age as gracefully as he might have, but even the Shadows of Knight seem to have their fan-shaming moments (I mean, how many rock artists, or anything artists, were great their whole career? If so, how long did their careers last?). Every punk/garage fanzine seems to be doing looks back on Alice Cooper lately, a guy who jumped to the HOLLYUWOOD SQUARES circuit as soon as he could. I'm not saying Sonny is Iggy Pop or John Lennon (both of whom have made bad records)...but he created his share of fine music for anyone who cares to go back and listen to it. Somebody please tell me that I'm not the only subscriber here that knows that. And while I'm not going to criticize your championing of Los Dug Dugs, since I really love the entire 30 seconds of music I've ever heard by them (in a Mexican movie), could you please clue me in to the master list of "cool people" that discussion on this list is "restricted to"? - - Jay Schwartz ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

I thought I did read about The Fad on here once, but now I'm wondering if I imagined that it happened. Anyway, There was a 3-piece band from Philadelphia called The Fad that looked and sounded as if they worshipped The Jam and The Beatles (or perhaps most acurately, judging from their pre-Coctails graphics, The Beatles cartoons). However, they existed around 1983-5 I think, and released one TWELVE inch record (self-titled on their own Gamma Records) with 6 songs on it. They spent a year in Los Angeles and later devolved into a very generic garage revival band called The Ravens, who released a 7" with 2 songs. Fad guitarist/lead vocalist Frank Mamlin later moved to New York and played drums in The Optic Nerve. At the start, The Fad were really great, and if you ever see the 12" you should grab it. While I thihk The Fad were more developed, the best way to describe them is to go see a current Philly band called The Interpreters -- in some ways they are a parallel universe Fad. If there was a Fad in the late '70s, it was another band. - - Jay Schwartz ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

I'm just not that much of a fan of Spector OR The Beatles, so shoot me why doncha! Yeah, they may have written some nice pop songs (Needles & Pins is about the only one that I might like... the Ramones version, that is), but is that what this list is all about?

Yeah, they may have written some nice pop songs (Needles & > Pins is about the only one that I might like... the Ramones version, > that is), but is that what this list is all about? To quote directly from the Bomp web page that describes "What Is Bomp-L?" (http://www.bomp.com/bomp/Mailorder.html): "Bomp-L is our email mailing list. It's not a mouthpiece for BOMP! promo, but a discussion group for surfadelic garagepunk music, culture, and whatever else we feel like talking about." What I'm getting at is that we discuss a fairly wide variety of music here. And many of us *do* really like 60s pop. We also discuss things that aren't even necessarily music-related (which is where the "culture" part comes in.) And, in relation to the "whatever else...," well, I'd think that kept from limiting us to the "surfadelic garagepunk" (which most of us happen to love.) The point is, many of us have interests in common... One of those happens to be 60s pop. This list has discussed groups like The Fad and The Minstrels... neither of whom I'd consider a garage act. Both are far more pop influenced. And yet nobody minded. Granted, those aren't nearly as well known as Sonny Bono or Phil Spector... but both have been described. Also... the music mentioned in the definition was "surfadelic garagepunk." It didn't mention anything about Merseybeat... yet most people have no problem talking about The Kaisers. Neither do I... all I'm saying is that that we need to remember that this group is *not* limited to discussing "surfadelic garagepunk." The official definition goes further than that.

It HAS to be! I don't think so, though it reads like one. The full article also included a mention of a lawsuit pending between the wife of the original owner and the owners who took over the place in the mid-70s over who has rights to the name. (It also mentions that she has a 'history of max's' book coming out in the fall.) I work just a few blocks from 52nd St... maybe I'll stroll down that way at lunch and see what I can see. I'm wondering if it's going to be where the old Lone Star Roadhouse was.

Yeah, there's also the CD that was a re-release on Epic that's now out of print but I've still seen in some of the smaller shops around Boston recently(actually, Joe, the Sony comp is probably the same disc I have in a different package). > these guys were great--a terrific garage band on > the level of the standells or shadows of knight only with much better > songs--i consider their songwriting to be on a level with the beatles or > stones or kinks. there isn't a bad song on the sony comp. Barry Tashian had traveled to the U.K. on his break from Boston University in the summer of '63. It was there that he first saw The Beatles. Upon returning to school, he immediately formed The Remains Some were members of a previous band he fronted (I'm doing this from memory, so be kind with the corrections). I don't know about Joe's comparison of The Remains to The Standells or Shadows Of Knight, but there was a HEAVY Beatles influence in my opinion. I consider them more pop(I mean that in a positive sense) than those other bands. The Remains were the first(and probably most)covered local (read:Boston)band to covered by other Boston bands. In a lot of ways, they were ahead of their time. > The remains > actually opened for the beatles, Yup, at Suffolk Downs in Boston and a dozen or so other dates on the Beatles' last tour. and also shared a bill a couple of times > w/ the bobby fuller four. They also made an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and (I think) Shindig (or Hullabaloo).
