Caught the Damned last night in St.L, it blew me away. The Capt. stole the show, stripping down to his underwear, then putting on a dress and throwing his underwear into the crowd. My friend, and fellow band mate, Tim Lohmann interwiewed the capt. for the next issue of the new St.L mag, Static Inc. When Tim went to get his copy of Machine Gun Etiquitte signed, the sensible one bit a big chunk out of the corner of the sleeve and spat it out. I guess you can say that he now owns a personalized cut-out of MGE. The capt went on to wrestle with the girl selling shirts, picking up a stool and trying to hurl it against the wall. Wunderbar! It seems like there are two types of Damned fan, crazy punks and spooky dork goths. Vainian was in top form as the dapper cool frontman, the drummer filled the shoes of Scabies quite nicely.

This was a special case, and it worked for him because he used a studio trick to include one single extra beat so that it technically wasn't a "sample" of the original tune. Not that Queen, nor especially David Bowie, needed the royalties from that song, but credit should definitely be given where it's due, especially when some moron like Vanilla Ice rips off somebody's song (using it to help him get rich) and gets away with it. kopper ==================================================================== The Wayback Machine -- High-octane rock'n'roll from hell!! 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, surf, & rockabilly...

Sounds like this is an 80's compilation of the magazine's releases, then! Kind of a retrospective thing. I believe Constantine and I found two copies of the same exact LP. Mine doesn't appear to be a reissue and no other label name besides "musiek expres LTD." is listed on the LP. Also, maybe the Raven catalog was included because they handled the distribution.

I played in Cleveland in May at a place called Sudsy Malone's. It's a combination club and laundrymat. Because you know the kids get their clothes dirty too. My fondest memory of Cleveland however (beyond it's historic significance) is walking down the main drag before the show. It was a Sunday and, past the requisite row of tattoo parlors and record stores, was the open door to a bar that at once would erupt with laughter and then fall absolutely silent. I was about a block away when I first noticed the sound and, as I approached this continued to happen a number of times. Was it stand up comedy night I wondered? Were they picking on the town sot? No, I soon discovered that the entire bar was completely absorbed watching the Simpson's. With such devotion one might think they were being given a quiz after the show. I was later told that this was one of the toughest bar's in town and yet they took the cartoon so seriously drink's aren't served until the commercials! Even the toughs had a sense of humor.

They did lots of their classics including Melody Lee, Noise Noise Noise, Love Song, New Rose, Disco Man, Plan 9 Channel 7, Smash It Up, Eloise, Neat Neat Neat, and Looking At You (where they praised the work of such bands as the MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, and the Cowsills(?)).

And who recorded those legendary rock commercials that have gone unnamed?>> I collect radio advertising and, I tell ya, there thousands of incredible things to be found. One thing to keep an eye out for are albums put out by the Radio Advertising Bureau. The RAB released a series of LPs, starting in 1967, that feature CLIO award winning spots. The LPs were given away free to ad agencies and radio station programmers at conventions. I've found a few of these and there are some great spots on them. One of my favorites is The American Breed doing a jingle for "The Alone Phone." The Alone Phone turns out to be part of an ad campaign aimed at getting teens to convince their parents to let them have an extention line in their bedroom. The jingle is great and the voice over is done by legendary DJ Dan Ingram, who I grew up listening to on WABC. There was also a fun spot with Louis Armstrong singing the "Schaefer is the one beer to have" jingle. Another featured the voices of Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett hawking Circus Nuts. One spot that I couldn't believe won an award was for a men's clothing store in NYC called Broadstreets. The pitch was that they were a better store because their salesmen weren't gay! The first line of copy is, "It takes one to know one"!!! Most radio spots were distributed on small reels of tape, usually 3", 5" or 7" inch reels, so keep an eye out for these in the thrift store and you might find something cool. My pal Denis found a great reel at a thrift. It was a demo for a jingle producer/composer named Steve Karmen. This guy wrote some very catchy stuff. His most well known jingle is probably the one that goes, "You can take Salem out of the country but...you can't take the country out of Salem" from the late 60's. There is one totally boss late 60's rock and roll jingle on the demo for Devil Shake. One of my favorite jingle singers is a woman named Trella Hart. Trella is sorta like the Tommy Tedesco of the female voice. She must have recorded tens of thousands of cuts. Trella works in Dallas, the home of radio jingle industry. The musician's union pays a much higher rate to singers in Dallas and many of the best singers located there in the 60's to do session work. Trella mostly recorded radio station jingles for a company called PAMS, meaning the jingles that identify the stations themselves, not jingles for any product. One of my favorite commercial cuts that Trella sang is a super sexy spot for 7-Up. The lyrics go, "Wet and wild/7-Up is wet and wild." Lots of radio spots were also pressed up on vinyl and if you are diligent enough they turn at the thrifts and at record swaps. I found a great 12" with a couple of spots for the Long Island Railroad a few years back. They were sung by folkie Oscar Brand and the jingle has incredible lyrics like, "We've got bar car types for thirsties/party cars for teens!" A friend found a neat 7" from the early 60's that had a ton of spots with different folks reading PSAs for National Country Music Week. Patsy Cline, Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold & Chet Atkins are on there as well "Country" artists like Connie Francis and the Kingston Trio! The Carl Perkins Box on Charly has two radio spots for the same bill, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two, Roy Orbison & The Teen Kings & Warren Smith. One is for a show in Memphis, the other in Richmond. There is an incredible LP of PSAs called "Get Off" that came out in the early 70's. It's nothing but rock stars telling you not to shoot heroin or take hard drugs. This thing is unfugginbelievable. Dr. John, Ringo, Frank Zappa, Bob Weir, Alice Cooper, the cast of Star Trek, Sha Na Na, Dr. Hook, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Mark Farner, Loudon Wainwright, Harry Chapin and on and on and on. I've heard that there was a "Get Off II" but I've never seen it. There are a couple of commercial aircheck dealers, that is guys who make money selling old tapes of radio, who also have tapes of radio spots for sale. Tom Konard, who runs the Aircheck Factory, has a few cool tapes of old spots for sale. If you write him at Aircheck Acres, Wild Rose, Wisconson 54984 he'll send you a list of stuff that he has for sale. Also look on the web for a guy named Ed Brouder, who runs Man From Mars Productions. He has a list of thousands of old airchecks that are for sale online. I bet he has some spots too. Something Weird Video has a few cassettes for sale that each have an hour of incredible spots for all sorts of exploitation movies. They are kinda pricey at $20 a pop, but they'll make your jaw drop when you listen to them. There are also collectors like me who trade tapes of old spots. One good source for hooking up with folks and seeing what kinda of stuff has turned up is a zine called DecalcoMania. The zine is for fans of radio and there are lots of folks who subscribe who have vast archives of radio stuff on tape. If you write to Paul Richards at RadioPaul9@aol.com and ask he'll send you a free issue. You could also write to the same address if there are some specific stuff that you are looking for. Paul will put your request in the letters column of the next issue. DecalcoMania has been coming out monthly for more than ten years so it may not take long to get a response.

If you can find it, get the cd (or lp) called "San Francisco's Doomed." It's 20 songs, all 100% amazing. icki ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 13:54:45 -0500 From: Jeff Kopp Subject: Re: Searching in the Wilderness Constantine Mekios wrote: > > Thanks for the clarification Menachem.

Cleveland has the distinction of being the city with the highest per capita for READING over any other city in the US. But the weather... I dunno. Damned cold in the winter. Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis... too much snow and cold for me, and I'm one that can usually tolerate it pretty well. Oh god...I'm talking about the weather somebody shoot me. kopper - -- ==================================================================== The Wayback Machine -- High-octane rock'n'roll from hell!! 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, surf, & rockabilly...

It is, indeed, Mary Weiss -- you really gotta check it out. It's really funny. But even funnier...they've got Shadow Morton working out "Dressed In Black" on tape. You hear this really off-key "DA-DA-DA-DA duh...so soft..so warm.." -- that, my friends, is priceless! One other highlight of this 2 CD set is Tipple & The Clovers doing "Bossa Nova Baby" -- it's great!

Omigod! Be still my beating heart!! This sounds too priceless for words, and some of you know how much I LUV L-U-V The Shangrilas. It HAD to have been Mary Weiss of the supersmooth long blond locks with the Veronica Lake effect over one eye. She would be an ideal model for the artist who drew the Breck Girl each month. And to feature these tuff Queens chickies giving advice on being ladylike is just too much. I MUST obtain this. Is it a Red Bird various artists comp - or all Shangs? (Either would be a worthy acquisition). This made my day!
