But I don't believe that the guitarist from the Atlantics and the actor from Days of Our Lives are the same man. Nowhere in any article that I have read is it mentioned - nor on the Canetoad records releases. I do remember several years ago reading an article about the actor in TV Week (my usual intellectual reading matter) and it wasn't mentioned. I'm sure it would have been because the Atlantics were top of the charts during the surf boom. Mark PS if anyone hasn't got the Canetoad release of the Atlantics punk/beat material my advice is to rush out and get it now! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 08:28:55 EST From: APiandes@aol.com Subject: Coffee 'n' Smokes Playlist, 1/9/99 Hello BOMP!ers.

Rocky. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 10:49:59 -0500 From: Brian Poust Subject: King's English I'll assume Dirk Gently is a pseudonymn and hope that this isn't just one of our friends in disguise to give us a not necessarily deserved ego boost, because he said some awfully nice stuff about the King's English (Aw, shucks *blush*). Anyway, I'm Brian, and I'm the bass player (Hi, Brian!). If he really is from out of town, I'm happy he caught us, and thank him for the kind words! A quick aside to Rocky: Does your speech generator pronounce Bass like the fish/ale or the guitar? I play bass, and I drink bass. How does that sound? Anyway, I'd like to stick in a quick positive note about The Marianne Faithfuls, who are the hippy looking band that Dirk didn't like. They turned out an EXCELLENT version of Tony Colton's "I've Laid Some Down" that night, which I for one was very appreciative of. Hopefully though, Dirk caught we in the King's English teasing the M.F.'s about "Time Has Come Today" at various times through the night. They took our good natured ribbing well. I hope it doesn't escalate into a war of the pranksters (they'll be sorry if it does). Also, in addition to the guitar player playing well, the drummer (Rob White, formerly of The Rootes Groop in Seattle) also sounded great. But, I prefer the reckless abandon of our own "Daviv" Brock (a Bomper). Next time you're in town and you get to see us, Dirk, do come introduce yourself. But forget about Daviv, he's always out of it! You're best off talking to our rhythm guitarist/harp maniac Brian Phillips. He'll be sober, he's a bomper, and he's as where as you are! I'll let Richard (also on Bomp!) handle the announcement of our next show, assuming we get one. Brian Poust p.s. Charitable donations of Maracas and tambourines gladly accepted.

Apparently not, Deena. In this context it sounds like some new automated rhythm machine (ie. bass guitar) rather than the fish in a blender. Don't know if you used a capital 'B', but I suspect they set it up for most common pronunciation. Since Bass is also someone's name (like the ale), they gave it the fishy sound.

I thought it was the same song. Duh... You can find the original version by the Sheep on a Stateside 45. (I'm not too sure about the label in the US.) The song is a very thinly disguised rewrite of 'Louie Louie' and the Fleshtones considered it bonafide to include in their Kingsmen's medley on 'Speed Connection'. Of course this may have had something to do with the fact that the albums producer was Miles Strange (AKA Richard Gottehrer) who is a former member of the Sheep (AKA The Strangeloves). On a related note the 45 also contains a great version of the Bunker Hill favourite 'Hide & Seek' and which the 'Tones also covered on 'Speed Connection'. BTW when Gottehrer first met the Fleshtones and discovered they really dug the Strangeloves his initial reaction was: "What! You like that garbage!" "Miles Strange baby, Miles Strange..."

First of all, when I said the drummer Dave appeared to be out of it, I didn't mean that in a bad way. It just seemed like he had something else on his mind. He was friendly, just preoccupied, like he was looking for somebody (a somebody of the feminine persuasion perhaps? He just had that "look" on his face ). Anyway, please don't take anything I said as an offense. With that out of the way, I am curious to find out more about the singer's previous band, Thee Flypped Wigs. Someone had mentioned that they had put a record out. How would one go about getting a hold of that? Does it sound anything like The King's English? Any help would be appreciated. And please keep me informed of any shows in the future. I do make it to Atlanta regularly, and it's no big deal for me to make a trip to see a show.

I know the Continental has a bunch of drawbars; instead the Jag has rocker switches and is somewhat simpler internally, but that's about it. I am thinking of purchasing one fairly soon. >> I own both a Jaguar and a Continental ( I gig w/ the Continental, and the Jag stays in the back room at home). The Continental has more variations in the tone "colors"; the Jag sounds a bit like a Farfisa when all the switches are on. With the Continental, I can vary the tone while I'm playing, using the drawbars. The Jaguar really doesn't have as much versatility; that's why you can pick one up more cheaply than a Continental. << Can anyone give examples of different songs using either? >> Well, anything by the Lyres, Dave Clark Five, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the Animals is done with a Continental. Also, the first Doors album, and Elvis Costello (w/ the Attractions - Steve Nieve actually used a Super- Continental). And - um - Mondo Topless (had to put a plug in there!!!) Since the Jaguar was always the less desirable of the Vox organs, there weren't too many bands that I remember using it. Off the top of my head: Early Miracle Workers, United States of Existence, Fortune & Maltese, Iron Butterfly (although I think Iron Butterfly may have used a Continental) << And did the Mysterians originally use a Vox or a Farfie? >> Vox.

And yet, when I was able to find one or two Vox Jaguars for sale or even just to be played at one of their NYC gigs this fall, Jon Weiss told me they were only interested in a Continental. AAAAUUUUUGGGHHH. As if playing that horrible modern keyboard thing was better? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 21:42:09 -0600 From: shepherd Subject: Re: Little Boy Blues > Does anyone know where I can find the Little Boy Blues doing I Can Only > Give You Everything?
