I spent a long weekend in NH (Portsmouth/Kittery, ME area) and I've got to say, the Granite State ROCKS!!! (couldn't resist!!) Last Thursday, I saw the Donnas and the Groovie Ghoulies at the Elvis Room in Portsmouth and it was JAM-PACKED! The place can't hold very many people, maybe about 175 or so, tops. On Friday I saw Keene, NH's own The Kirks and Boston's purist rockabilly band, the Racketeers. It wasn't quite as packed but both bands put on a hell of a show! If anyone finds themselves in New England, check out Portsmouth. It's NH's answer to Cambridge, alot less uptight and with only one chain store in the downtown area (the Gap, who along with Starbucks are going for world domination). The Elvis Room is a punk rocking coffee bar and has become one of my favorite places to see bands play. Across the street is the Friendly Toast, a HUGE restaurant with all vintage decor (each table has a different lamp on it) with a great menu that gives BIG FOOD! Try the spinach dip! There's also a great, but kinda pricey, Mexican restaurant in the downtown area (Poco Diablo) that's worth going to, and if you cross the bridge into Kittery you not only get $39/night motels (cheap in these here parts) but you get OUTLET STORES! On an un-Bomp note, we left Portsmouth Saturday to drive through the White Mountains, which was absolutely gorgeous, even when we could only see 50 feet ahead through the snow. Checked out a couple of thrift and antique stores, but didn't pick anything up. Anyone wanting to check out good thrift stores in flea markets in New England should consider Rhode Island. Woonsocket rules!!! I bought Erich a set of 21 (three must've been busted) U.S. Army glasses (shot, juice, highball and lowball) from around the 50s or 60s for $20. They have little army men running around on them! I got three (count 'em) tiki glasses for $2.75 and a ceramic 100th Year decanter from Reno (dated 1968) that's shaped like a slot machine for a few bucks. One store had, but had already sold, a red and white leather deco living room set, that I'm sure sold for a mere pittance. Well, this was the biggest post from me in a long time! I wanted to give a heads-up to two great towns that could probably use some business! - -Andrea ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:28:38 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: Liberty for Los Doltons!

In fact, all radio stations play from a playlist. We do requests but very few. Generally, I like the music we play however, if you get tired of songs quickly, think about how long it takes for those of us on the air to get tired of them. Believe me, it doesn't take long. I miss the days of playing harder rock but that's not up to me. Radio stations spend a lot of money on research...I mean they research everything. In a nutshell you have to play familiar music because the average listener wants to hear shit that they know. It took me a while but I bought into it. I have the best job in the world so there are a lot of things that make up for the repetition of music that as disc jockeys we must endure. All stations repeat songs constantly...it sucks but I guess that's what cassettes and CD players are for.

I am pretty positive most of the people who worked on Sesame Street were NYC intelligensia. That 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (3, 3, 3, let's sing a song of threeee. Three... Birthday... cakes... [person falls down stairs holding cakes]) spot is amazing, and most surprisngly, appears on the very first episode of Sesame Street. The late Joe Raposo wrote almost all the music for the early episodes with Jerry Moss writing some of the lyrics. Joe was from a more traditional school of song and music writing and did about half the songs for a 1973 Frank Sinatra lp. It would not surprise me in the slightest if they were stirctly broadway (where the show was produced, I think). >Born To Add: >Somebody stole my only copy, so if anybody has a spare, get in touch. the same thing happened to me. >At Bomp lister Matthew Kaplan's insistence, the promoter included The Fleshtones on the >bill with the almost-unknown 10000 Maniacs, that reminds me of my colleges' Bongos/Bangs/ someone else show around 1984/85 when I was in HS.

They have almost all new members; I think George is still there, but there are two ex-Brian Jonestown folks (Robert the guitarist and Sophie the tambourine French chick, of all things, now playing keyboards) and some other girl named Jennifer also playing keyboards. They are currently based in the Bay Area and being managed more of less by Dave Deresinski, ex-BJM. By the way, those few of you who share my opinion that BJM are the best band of the last 20 years may want to catch them on the upcoming tour that begins this week and runs thru May something. The tour dates are on the Bomp website. You won't be sorry.

Well The video-tape of Os Mutantes, are: A rare Interview with Arnaldo Baptista (bass/voclas) and Claudio Dias (guitar / vocals) on 86 in a brazilian program called Flávio Cavalcanti (the type of this program is a Geraldo in your country, i guess). This is interview is rare why the Cláudio and Arnaldo don't speak on with oyher. Other video is "Festival da Canção da TV Record, 69" the first show of Os Mutantes in a televison.

In Brazil have too 2 compilations, a tribute a Arnaldo Baptista and Os Mutantes.

The best cool and underground bands play on this record. O Último Número Fellini Athaupha y os Phunks Sepultura (yes, Sepultura play "A hora e a vez do cabelo nascer", cool) and Ratos de Porão. The second compilation is good too, called "Menage a Trois" of 94, This complilation is more pop, but cool. Play on this cd; pato Fu, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, Planet hemp, Arnaldo Antunes.

I was quite excited about it as I was looking for this record for some time now. Unfortunately I've been unable to listen to it yet as my turntable is under repair, but it looks like it includes some really great stuff (I've listened to some of the tracks featured). I was wandering about who put this compilation out, as well. I thought it might have been someone from Europe (Holland perhaps?) due to the nature of the material and the name of the label (Muziek Express) but apparently I was wrong if Blair's information is correct. Can anyone else confirm it? By the way, my copy didn't come with a Raven Records catalog but I sure would like to find the "Ugly Things" LPs (vols. 1-3) and "The Raven EP LP" vol.1 and vol.3. Other Raven records that should be interesting and I'm looking for: the "Kicks" compilation and The Innsect LP reissue.

What I find interesting about the whole TV commercials thread is that sometimes they can be a source of income for more obscure, underground or non-commercial artists who don't rack up large sales or chart numbers. I'd be interested in seeing examples of bands who somehow made money from their music even while remaining unknown to the general public and not selling a lot of records. Of the bands lucky enough to go this route, most of them do so not through selling their music through TV commercials, but by getting other, more well-known artists to either cover or sample their music on a record which ends up selling big, thus enabling the obscure artist whose music is being used to earn royalties off the bigger artist's sales. Some examples: - - Didjits' "Killboy Powerhead" was covered by the Offspring, and when the Offspring album went multiplatinum, Didjits leader Rick Sims not only made a shitload of royalties but even got awarded a platinum record with his name misspelled "Ricks Sims." - - The Vaselines had a very small fan base, but one of those fans just happened to be named Kurt Cobain. He liked them so much that he covered a 'lines song on Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged in New York" album. - - The Flamin' Groovies probably got a pretty decent windfall from the sales of the CLUELESS movie soundtrack. That album featured Cracker covering the Groovies' "Shake Some Action." - - The soundtrack to THE CROW featured Henry Rollins covering a Suicide tune and Pantera covering a Poison Idea song. - - I don't know of any actual cases, but I'm sure there are examples of hip-hop or techno artists sampling from obscure artists and putting them on records that ended up selling big. Just about anything and everything is fair game for sampling on a rap or techno record. Of course, in a perfect world, the Didjits, Flamin' Groovies and Poison Idea would be getting the recognition they deserve while the hacks in Cracker, Offspring and Pantera remained in the sports bar circuit. But the reality is, the general public likes watered-down crap, and REAL bands like Didjits and Poison Idea don't sell as well as schlock like Offspring. I dislike musicians who make lame Top Forty crap in order to sell records just as much as anyone else here, but the corollary of that is, I don't think that artists should have to live in poverty for refusing to water down their music for the masses. That's why I think it's so cool for obscure artists to make money through these not-so-well-known channels. Personally, if I had a band, I'd much prefer to stay on an indie label yet make a lot of money through other channels instead of becoming a "rock star." Don't know about you, but I think it's nice to be able to make your rent every month and stay out of debt without being getting hounded by autograph-seekers or paparazzi. Of course, as I'm sure many of you already know, "fame" and "fortune" are often completely unrelated. Just ask TLC and MC Hammer, both of whom filed for bankruptcy, or Collective Soul, whose record went multiplatinum yet whose members still had to live with their parents, get by on $150 a week, and practice in a $700/month cabin. Except for the rented cabin and the fact that they got to travel, they didn't live any better than I did during my thankfully-long-gone days as a Tower Records sales clerk.
