That's entirely possible. It's been a long time since I saw that movie. I had only heard a few Remains songs at the time. Maybe the Beatlefans were laughing at those goofy Sounds Incorporated. Beatlefans tend to laugh at anything non-Beatles. On a non-Bomp note- Producer Owen Bradley died Wednesday. Bomp-angle- He owned the Quonset Hut, the Nashville studio where the Remains recorded some of their singles. It all ties together.

I don't want to start a long cultural rant here, however, way to say it, Sadie! As one of the the Jimmy Carl Indians (the black of the group), I am always disheartened by the twaddle that passes (that's almost a pun) for Af-Am comedy on TV. The dramas are underpublcized (Under One Roof, the Lazarus Syndrome, Paris) or not very good (413 Hope St). So the WB and UPN give us what amounts to minstrel shows and bad ones at that. "Homeboys in Outer Space"!? And to top it off, David Milch, whose work I like, actually was quoted as saying that blacks can't write good drama. Makes me wanna holler. I won't even get into the short shrift that other ethnicities suffer on the tube, such as AKA Pablo or Mama Malone. On the musical front, there is good stuff to be had, I suppose, but much of it ai not hitting the charts. At least harmony singing is enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Does it hurt? You bet. I also wish that Jazz was more popular, too and I DON'T mean Kenny G(orelick)!! ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

(was: African - American TV and Music(not that long, really)) >"Homeboys in Outer Space"!? This show had Little Richard hellbent for leather on taking over the universe (at the same time spoofing "Full Metal Jacket")! When he blew up at the end it went: "Wop bop a lu bop a wop bam BOOM!" This show is BAAAD - but I loved it. Is it still on? The late night/early morning sitcoms on UPN were the equivalent of primetime staples for me when I worked the 5 PM - 2 AM shift. You can keep "Moesha" and that one with LL Cool J and Carlton from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", I WANT MY HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE!!! Genius...

That's because the writers and advertisers cynically assume that the viewing public (black AND white) will buy into hurtful and insulting stereotypes. Judging by the ratings of these shows among black viewers, they're right, unfortunately. That's what keeps this crap on the box. I know I can't sit through it, and I wouldn't even pretend to know what it's like to be Black in America. > Same with that > >music - it's obviously pablum, with no originality, pride, conviction, or > >dignity - not to mention that it FAILS TO ROCK. Man, that's gotta hurt! I already made my thoughts known about this in my previous post. Then Brian Phillips wrote: >The dramas are underpublcized (Under One Roof, the > Lazarus Syndrome, Paris) or not very good (413 Hope St). However, at least there are some strong Black characters in such dramas as Homcide: Life on the Street and NYPD Blue. Not many, mind you, but it makes one wonder why a whole highly-rated (critically and ratings-wise) series can't be built around similar characters. > I also wish that Jazz was more popular, too and I DON'T mean Kenny > G(orelick)!! Some wag wrote (accurately, I might add) that Kenny G is Jazz for folks who don't like Jazz.

Has anyone heard the Bryan MacLean "ifyoubelievein" LP/CD on Sundazed? It's billed as "the Love record that never was," and I'm wondering if it holds up on its own or only as a memento for Love fanatics like myself. Also, the latest Magnet just hit the shelves, with my "Top 5 of 1997" LP picks and a bit on the Chesterfield Kings. I'll add a couple more articles to my web site this weekend, and a link to my pieces at the Cosmik Debris webzine as well. Next time in Magnet: a complete Zombies box-set review! Stay cool in '98!

I sure hope the Remains were filmed at the gig, even if they didn't make the final cut maybe somebody can dig up their performance (or heck, I'd just take the audio). A brief snippet of that can be heard in the background on the rare lp "Exploding Fans Describe Stadium Show" (! - the title is something like that--I'm at work and the lp is at home), a cool cash-in lp recorded before, during and after the Beatles' Shea stadium concert. This older-sounding guy carries a mic around the stadium and asks people questions (some heavily Brooklyn-accented cops say they think Sinatra is way better than the Fab 4, natch). Anyway, at one point you can hear the chorus of "Why Do I Cry" over the interview, for a couple seconds only, in the background. And it sounds like the Remains were a'cookin', too.
