I graduated in '81, and I remember the summer before my senior year when I officially "got into" punk rock (thanks to a neighbor from college who played me Vom, the Ramones, PiL, Sex Pistols, Magazine, the Rezillos, the Saints). Suddenly I went from being a weird but tolerated geek to the subject of intense hatred and rumor. Why? 'Cause I cut my hair and stopped listening to Skynyrd. There were 6 people in my school who were into music you didn't hear on the radio. Everyone was afraid of us, even the girl who was just into power-pop and new wave. My friend Steve got sent home for wearing a Buzzcocks t-shirt, because the Assistant Principal thought that it referred to castration. The only thing we had in common was musical curiosity, because we didn't even listen to the same kinds of "punk". It would be naive to think that the mob mentality has changed just because now the mob listens to watered-down hard rock disguised as punk. It's just not as easy to spot the weirdos who listen to good music as it used to be - at least not by the clothes they wear. For example, speaking of the Oblivians, at their last show in L.A., while we waited for their set, a friend and I were shouldered aside by a pair of sullen baggy-pantsed morons who glared dully at us with confusion. My friend said to me, "You know, at least I could understand those asshole jocks and fratboys who wanted to beat up fags. What I can't understand is this new breed - exactly the same, except he's wearing a nose ring!"

Karl Those "two guys" being John Ashline and Bruce Cole. The self released LP (from '92 on the Dog Face imprint, DF-002, the debut single was DF-001) was called 'Clutching Hand Monster Mitt' and is great damaged music, perhaps better than the debut single, with cuts like "Psycho Ward Reunion" and "Surface Of The Moon". The followup LP on Bag Of Hammers from '96 is called 'Nude Invisible Foot Phenomenon'. There have been several Mee-Mees singles released in the last few years. A locally (Missouri) produced single on the Electric label ("Pull My Finger/Family Tree",'93), a great 1994 single on the Aussie Dog Meat label ("Life Never Stops/Oscillations" -- yes, a Silver Apples cover), a 1995 four song ep on BOH, 'Home Movies', was actually recorded in '78 as a followup to the 'Live From The Basement' debut but wasn't released at the time. A not to be missed 1996 release on the New World Of Sound label was a split single with Columbus Ohio legends Mike Rep and the Quotas (of "Rocket To Nowhere" fame), made in homage to their late-seventies contemporaries, Sacramento's legendary (and soon to be reissued -- by me!) Twinkeyz (the Mee-Mees tackle "Cartoon Land", and the Quotas do "Aliens In Our Midst"). Another single on the Dutch label Brinkman saw the light of day in '96, "Answer Me/Arthritis Today". I believe there was also a cut by the dynamic duo included on a single included with a fanzine from a couple years ago (Whump? I have it here somewhere), as well as a self-released cassette that appeared in the late 80s. Bruce Cole has been dabbling with "solo" material as well, though I'm not sure exactly what that entails. Re: Customs...funny it should get brought up, I was just thinking I'd like to post something about this too, as I picked up the 'Real Long Gone' CD on Shake It and have been playing it a bunch. The first thing that comes to mind when listening to this is how much less self-conscious this is than most of today's extant "garage" scene, this actually delivering the goods like "real" Rock and Roll should, and not coming across like a ham-handed monochromatic facsimile like the vast majority of today's "prolific" sound-a-likes (hey, the Screamin' Mee-Mees might not be "great" musicians, but they can certainly translate their personal vision onto wax, you can't say that for everybody, that's for sure -- assuming "they" even "have" a vision to begin with, of course). Though I was familiar with the cut "Long Gone" (a friend had the single and I knew the Devil Dogs covered it on a Sympathy single about 5 years ago), I had no idea that Peter Greenberg was in the group til I picked up this CD. His piercing leads really put this over the top, I'd like to know the exact details on him leaving DMZ, moving to Cincinnati (presumably) to play with the Customs, then returning to Boston to join the Lyres. Was he not on the first Lyres single on Sounds Interesting from '79 (maybe not? I have it but can't pull it out to check)? Seems like a mighty small time frame to be in several great Rock and Roll bands.

You should check into it! I've heard that people can pick up The Wayback Machine there late at night (after one of the Columbia stations goes off the air) which is pretty cool considering Columbia is 110 miles west of St. Louis, but the signal must be VERY weak. > But my question is... did everybody listen to punk rock or was it just the > kids in the know. My perception was it that it was a underground thing > that was mostly ignored by most kids. It depends on what you wanna label "punk rock" these days. Yes, there's a lot of so-called punk on the commercial alternative (modern rock/whatever) airwaves, but if you listen close enough, there's not much difference between that stuff and the commercial pop/stuff that has been popular throughout time. Once again, just like it was when I was in highschool in the early 80's, real rock'n'roll or the really rebellious punk music is still very underground, as evidenced by the lack of attention garage or even surf or rockabilly music gets in the mainstream media (and I'm not talking about the occasional blasting of "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Rock This Town" or "Misirlou" at professional sporting events). When I was in highschool there were maybe a dozen kids (in a school of over 2400 students) that had ever heard The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Germs, Circle Jerks, JFA, etc. (Keep in mind this IS the midwest!). I bet that compares pretty much equally to the number who today are listening to The Makers, The Oblivians, The Swingin' Neckbreakers or The Untamed Youth. Yeah, there were a lot of 'em back then who were into Duran Duran & INXS (ya know, the "weird but still cool" new wave stuff) just like there's a lot into Marilyn Manson or Prodigy or Compuserve or whatever any of that new shit is today. But there is hope... bands like Southern Culture On The Skids, Man or Astro-Man, The Cramps, The New Bomb Turks, etc. are helping to keep at least some semblance of primitive rock'n'roll music in the public ear. As for kids these days not having a clue... I don't think kids in general have EVER had a clue. Nothing's changed, IMHO. And I think that's the point Eric Oblivian was making. I still think of the Hanson Brothers when I hear someone mention Hanson. Guess I AM an old fart...

I'm sure you were talking about the Hockey Hanson Brothers, but a few months ago I was going to go see the punk Hanson Brothers and whilst I was asking around to see if someone wanted to go, I kept getting either: berated in a violent manner and/or a long, blank, emotionless stare before being blown off. I couldn't figure it out. I had no idea that there was a group of cockeyed little rugrats calling themselves "Hanson" and lo and behold they were BROTHERS!

Does anyone know if the *new* (well latest) Hanson Brothers album was ever released domestically in the USofA? I know it came out on the Canadian division of Virgin records (weird - I sez again, WEIRD), but I didn't know if it was ever released on this side of North America by Alternative Tentacles or who have you. I ask because I've never seen it here in St. Lou, and the only place I've seen it was at the Dummyroom in Chicago. P.P.S. Is the Dummyroom still around?

The thing we have to remember is that a lot of the music any generations kids have been into has been weak. Don't just lump these kids together. I graduated high school in 1984 on the south shore of LI and most of my peers if they even listened to music at all were into Journey, Cindi Lauper, Richard Marx, Styx, Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Loggins, Meatloaf, Foreigner, MTV artists, or just a lot of classic rock from the early 70's. These kids wore straight leg jeans and they were still dicks. There were very few kids who even knew what garage, punk, or REM was, (or heck even heavy metal or prog). The point -- there is good stuff out there, you just have to dig for it just like kids with a clue in the past would've dug for The Stooges, Count Five, Dolls, Roxy Music, Chocolate Watch Band, X-Ray Specs, Link Wray, Ween, Live Skull, Kraftwerk, et al. their respective eras. I'd like to think there's a kid out there right now listening to Man or Astroman? and saying "cool!!!"

I was under the impression that "Greek" meant like frat-rock.

I just picked it up today at Vintage Vinyl on Delmar, and yes, it's on Virgin Canada. Not as good as Gross Misconduct, though...

Which one did you find, Tim? The first one's got "Some Things Never Change"/"I Need Somebody", while the second is a 3-songer with "I Wanna Come Back...," "Nothin'," and another one (sorry, they're downstairs.) > any other info on these cats? Rochester band, mid-80s. Incredible shows... While up in the "Lilac City" for college (U of R, class of '87), I saw them play 3-set shows on a regular basis. The Chesterfield Kings may have ruled the roost, but these guys were street-level wildmen. They also have a track on the Jargon Records' comp, "Bone in Rochester," plus some live stuff is on a Live At Jazzberry's cassette (split tape with The Fadeaways, who were decent, but nowhere near as good as The Projectiles.) The live tape includes a great version of "I Saw Her In A Mustang" and "Stacy," as well. They supposedly recorded a whole LP, but I don't think it ever saw release. Tune in to alt.music.banana-truffle and ask the band's drummer, Brian Goodman about that one. The Projectiles did make it to NYC twice (after I gave a tape of their stuff to Endsville Entertainment's Gary "Teenager" Balaban, now known as Tony Scopitone). By then, their original organist, Tony Pilato, was living in Lodi, NJ, but he did play some songs with them those nights. > what they're doin' now, etc...? Brian moved to Albany and played with 1313 Mockingbird Lane for awhile. I think he also may be a part of Susan & the Surftones, but I'm not positive. Dan Franke (lead singer) is in The Riviera Playboys, who have a really cool CD out on Jargon, the label run by latter-day Projectile Dave Anderson (who also ran Saxon Recording Studios, where the Absolute Grey did their stuff). Dave's also in the Riviera Playboys. Don't know 'bout the rest of the Projectiles, tho'. >oh, by the way...i've got "the talismen" ep &7'' where are >they these days? You're right, the Talismen stuff is also fantastic. In fact, Chaos (the label that put 'em out) label head Tom Bessoir may have some more live stuff from that show at the Bad Music Seminar in '88. Hope he releases it. Jon Chalmers & Doug Del Femine (guitarists of The Talismen) play in The Church Keys these days (45 on Norton). They also did time in the Gnats (who have a song on The Invasion of the Insectoids comp on GI Productions). Lead singer Rick Chalmers seems to shuttle between Maine (Talismen home stomping grounds) and NYC... the only performing I've seen him do in the last year or so is the occasional Talismen reunions. Helluva great group.

A girl I work with told me that she would never listen to M.M. again. She heard that he had had his lower ribs removed to make it easier to suck his own dick! I told her to listen to Alice Cooper instead and she said she didn't like "Oldies". I've never heard any of todays hit makers. I always thought that being number 1 was not an indication of how 'popular' a song is but meaning that it irritated the least amount of people. I don't know if I've heard Milli Vanilli, never mind Hanson or the Spice Girls.
