The Rolling Stones did a Rice Krispies ad. The Pretty Things did the two Electric Banana LPs, so who knows where this music showed up. The American Breed also did an ad for Bell Telephone, which shows up on the 2nd Dunwich Records comp (and I still haven't found a copy of them singing the main title song to "The Brain") The Supremes had a brand of bread named for them (ironically, white bread), so I wonder if there was a jingle that went with that. I wished that I knew the band that cut the instrumental for "Sesame Street"(which started in 1968 or 9 you clock watchers out there!) that accompanies the counting song that ends with the fellows in trenchcoats that reveal numbers (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!) Paul Revere and the Raiders had a thing for General Motors. They did a spot for "The Judge" for Pontiac and "SS396" for Chevrolet. Otis Redding did a spot for the Board of Education, which shows up on the Atlantic Box Set. As for the Repulsives, I say, "Cool it, Baby!" :^) I am a sucker for the last shot, which has the guitar neck and the hand and the deodorant in the background. There was an ad a few years back that was an anti-drug spot that had a sixties-style soundtrack to it and the lyrics were: "What a day for love (love), It's a lovely day." I don't know if that was merely an inspired patch on the style or an actual song. Anyone? For those of you who thought I could make it through a post without asking a question, I say, "Oh, Really?"

I'm glad to see Other Music finally get props on the Bomp list. It's my favorite store in New York, with a very extensive selection of indie rock, experimental, drone, psychedelia, Krautrock, noise, and electronica. However, Other Music is NOT such a good place if you're looking for garage rock. Mondo Kim's is much better for Bompish-type music, both older stuff and newer Estrus/Crypt/Telstar releases.

I saw The Minstrels in Vancouver (they were living there for awhile too) a couple years ago, and Nick was playing guitar at that point. They had another guy as well, who had taken Victor's place.

On the afternoon of the show, after soundchecks, we were all hanging out in the Palestra when a guy in a Miller Beer outfit showed up... "Who here is in The Fleshtones?"

From my upcoming TransAction review column.... FASTBALL - All The Pain Money Can Buy (Hollywood) - Great leap between first and second records for this Austin-based trio; first one sounded much more Replacements meets Redd Kross while this one is a solid challenger to Wilco's y'alternative/Exile On Main Street sound. The kickoff track (and single) "The Way" has maybe the best barrelhouse piano sound you'll ever hear in a rock song along with a hook that you're singing before the song even ends. Add the Byrdsian "Fire Escape", the Seventies' horn section in "Good Old Days" and the Band-esque "Out Of My Head" and you have one hell of a record that will appeal to rockers and alt-country types alike. Hey, just like Wilco (but maybe better...) TEENAGE FRAMES - More Songs, Less Music (Rock And Roll Records) - Mixing 60's garage and 70's punk together gives you....I dunno, but it sure is great when you play it loud! Despite the Dean Martin sounding title, "Who's Got The Action" sneers its way through your speakers and grabs you by the ears, and then the next twelve songs just keep kicking your ass. But the closer, "The Lemon Drop", grooves with the least complex organ part since "96 Tears". Reminds me of Eddie And The Hot Rods, The Boys and The Reducers, bands who tossed trends aside , plugged in and rocked (and The Reducers still do, by the way!). Okay, if those three bands don't ring your bell (in other words, you're under 25), think Ramones with better song structure or New York Dolls with Iggy on vocals. Bonus cool points for the rear cover shot of a well-worn album collection with Ian Hunter and Muddy Waters covers in plain sight. Double bonus points for adding ex-Material Issue bass player Ted Ansani to the ranks last year. TORN AND FRAYED - Hysterical Flights Of Imagination (Heritage) - Mid period Stones sound, boozy bluesy guitar and snarling vocals abound. The band has had a few tracks featured on the NBC show Homicide, and after hearing "Save Me" I have to believe that alt-country fans would kneel at the T&F altar if only some radio station would give it a few spins when it mattered. Those in the hunt for something fiercer will lap up songs like "You've Got Nothing Down On Me, You Whore" (Tipper Gore alert - get those stickers moistened!) Mick's too old to rock like this anymore, so these guys will be happy to pick up the torch - and probably burn something to the ground while they're at it. - - Bill ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Mar 98 15:24:56 -0700 From: Efram Subject: Odds and Sods reissue Yow!
