Believe me, I have no complaints. Not only is it a decent place to live, it's affordable thanks to Mayor Torigian's efforts to get industry to settle in places like Centennial Park and The Golden Triangle which keeps the residential property tax rates low. The North Shore Mall hasn't killed downtown like malls have killed other suburban downtowns (sic) which makes Peabody Square a nice place to go and do business. City government is lean yet efficient and the schools may not be up to Cambridge's level, but still aren't bad by any yardstick you care to use. All of this is important to me as I have kids and own my home. Still, having the last vestiges of the north shore's Mafia era in my neighborhood (i.e. the strip joints) is something I like to poke fun at and frankly they're pretty good neighbors as far a public drinking establishments go.

's a >good >place to live. I find it weird that alot of people live in towns of 60,000 or so and have a lot to do. I live in Appleton,WI (about 30 miles due south of Green Bay).This area is just over 100,000 and there is nothing here.Green Bay has a club for shows,but all the bars are filled with classic rock cover bands.We get some good shows,but mostly cruddy pop-punk stuff that the baggy pants crowd likes.The only things that keep me here are a decent job, tons of yummy Asian grocery stores and restaurants (we have a large Hmong population) and dirt cheap beer. The rent in this area is high for the scale of wages. Most fast food jobs,hotel jobs,etc. pay minimum wage or just above.Where a lot of other places I've been,the wages kinda go with the cost of living.(an average two bedroom apt. here starts at $450,but that's small and gets hard to do if yer minimum wage) just a little rant of my own.

George MAY be billed as George Bedard and the Kingpins, but he's going alone, and will be playing with a friend from wayback, Sarah Brown (bass) and a drummer of Sarah's acquaintance, at 1:00 a.m Wed. the 18th at Fat Tuesday's (not quite the "Bucket O' Suds"!

Having grown up in Charleston, i would say that it is not quite that large. I would think it is no more than 300,000 including North Charleston. I could be wrong, though, since for population statistics the Charelston area is divided into many sections (Charleston, N. Charleston, Mount Pleasant, etc.). > it's on an Interstate, too, so i wouldn't count that as isolated, either. i think there's at least two >colleges there, College of Charleston, and another i can't remember right >now and a Navy base, too. > Yes, it is sort of on an interstate. more specifically, it is at the end of I-26, or in other terms I-26 ends in downtown Charleston. I-95 passes within about 1 hour of Charleston. Seems that the Columbia and Charleston politicians were fueding over the route of I-95 through South Carolina so they put I-95 halfway between Charleston and Columbia. You are correct that there are several colleges, one of which is the college of Charleston. There also is Charleston Southern, which by the way is niether in charleston or south of charleston. Lets not forget the culinary school of Johnson and Wales. And last but not least, a small school you may have seen in the news recently, the Citadel. Oh, and of course the Navy base....they closed that one down a few years ago. In my humble opinion, I say Charleston is just not the same without it. Sorry I forgot this list is about music. For its size, I would say Charleston is musically one of the better towns. Or at least it was when I was growing up. The bars come and go, but there always seems to be at least one bar that does NOT cater only to the cover band crowds. >for the record, i'm in Chapel Hill which is about 60,000 or so, 25,000 of >which is students. we've been "the next seattle" 3 or 4 times now, but i >think the media pundits finally quit tossing that one around.

Many commercials are tacked onto compilation LPs and there are at least 2 comps of just commercials: one (perhaps 2) culled from Coca Cola reels, both UK and US. The "blue album" which takes commercials from the Great Shakes singles and some popular radio airchecks (still the record with the most bang for my buck- an $8 record I could play every day on the radio). but what other commercials are out there? And who recorded those legendary rock commercials that have gone unnamed? Such as the hard rock "Screaming Yellow Zonkers" tv ad, or the Ban Roll On TV band, The Repulsives? or even the bouncy folk pop "Polaroid Swinger." it's more than a camera, it's almost alive, it's only 19 dollars and 95 sigh. I'd like to buy a camera now that was almost alive. I mean, I have a Stooges ad from a bootleg tape... can anyone direct me to some more obscure ones?

Well, assuming I've got it straight... there's a recent Johnny Cash commercial that he's even in, I believe... Is it for cars? I know I've heard him doing a commercial for "the Stetson man." Is there another?

I can add Johnny Rotten selling Mountain Dew whilst covering "Route 66" and of course the now infamous "Jack the Ripper" (though I don't know if it's Link performing) Taco Bell commercial. There were the shitload of Crap... er Gap commercials too. None of them with bands worth mentioning that I saw.

I think it just says "West Coast" on the label (several different versions of the song are listed, "East Coast," "Philadelphia," or whatever are the others--easy listening, horn bands, etc.) A 7" ep of like 4 or 6 different 30 to 60 second spots. Jackie Wilson ca. 1957 Detroit Mayoral candidate commercial, on acetate-- Jackie is singing on this uncredited also, I only heard it once years ago, but it was amazing. Speaking of Johnny Cash, I have a 12" lp of 1971 Pepsi spots with Johnny (Sun-style), B.B. King, The Vogues (ecch), and others, doing that great "It's the Pepsi Generation..." theme song ("You've got a lot to live, and Pepsi's got a lot to give...") Not quite commercials, per se, but does anybody else have any "Play-Me Sales Stimulator" 45s? These were all done ca. '67 I'd guess. I have 3. Each one has a different artist on each side, you briefly hear a tidbit of their current hit then the artist talks. These were made for Rowe AMI Jukeboxes--apparently they could be programmed to play when nobody was using the jukebox. The gist of what is said is "Hey you, come and put some money in the jukebox!" The ones I have include the Buckinghams, Wilson Pickett, and Dr. West's Medicine Show and Jugband (a classic bit of pseudo-hippy nonsense). I'd be curious to know what other ones are out there. They were pressed on red wax. Frank P.S. I just interviewed Don Wilson of The Ventures this afternoon for my radio show, he was telling me about recording the classic Ventures In Space lp, he said they want to do a sequel to it! Catch them if they are playing near you, they still have the goods! P.P.S. Speaking of goods, anybody at SxSW has to check out Lola's husband George Bedard, he plays the rockabilly/country/surf/blues like nobody's business. Ask him to do the Astronauts' "Surf Party," he does an amazing version! ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V98 #1081 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
