Bonjour I'm using a "friend"'s computer in order to tell my shocking tale of meeting with the infamous Mimi....I remember quite well that early evening last October... I was watching Les Canadiens getting bombed by the Carolina Hurricanes and was quite bombed myself on Molson Ex, when I spotted this tantalizing chick leaning across the jukebox playing "le Ya-Ya" and twisting like she had ants in her panties! Naturally I walked right up to her, and in a soft brown voice, I said "Lola, dance with moi....." After a few gut-twisting beers I managed to invite her to my pad for further...décadence... I played some of my groovy best Lps since she liked that stuff... However, after I went to the little boys room for a few moments, I took a sip of my liqueur and noticed the taste was strange....Yes! I had been drugged by that record-mad MIMI!!!!! My head was twirling, my senses were reeling, and in my drug-mad haze I saw the horrible truth about Mimi.... as she ripped her clothes and sprouted two huge wings and actually flew out of my room!!! She had changed into a huge Vinyl Vampyr!! carrying in her awful teeth my prized Sinners and Lutins LPs..... I'm glad I escaped with my life...But will you..when you meet MIMI the Vinyl Vampyr???.......... Hee heee heeeee heeeeeee......

I had a great album of theirs called "It's 2 Easy" but it got stolen last year, so I've only got a used comp as well at the moment! My favourite songs of theirs are "Wedding Ring" and "She's So Fine" (You Am I do a killer version of this on a live promo CD that I've got) Just a little tidbit of trivia, "I'll Make You Happy" was also covered by an Australian band called the Divinyls, who did the song "I Touch Myself" which was the song that Austin Powers strips to when he's blowing up the fembots! The also covered "Hey Little Girl" by the Syndicate of Sound(?), but as they have a female singer, changed it to "Hey Little Boy"... quite a bit more raunchy than the original methinks, but that's just me!!

Actually, I don't think he ever stopped playing. I believe he used to do a show with Keeley Smith called The Wildest, and he regularly plays casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City. That's not to say he plays tons of dates, but I think he's pretty consistent. He also played a benefit here in suburban New York a couple of months ago, and I heard he was in Boston recently. You would think he would get more publicity or someone would book him for a big swing show, but a lot of 'swingers' might not know who he is. I think he also presides over an informal (i.e. it's activities consist solely of selling membership cards) humorous club called the "Can't remember shit" club or something like that. It was mentioned in an early issue of Gearhead.

I've been seeing some weird comments about record dealers and since I must consider myself one, I feel obligated to respond... I've never been to Atlanta or Minnesota, but I've been to Boston, New York, Toronto and various European hot spots... Here's stuff I hate: Records that are boxed in too tightly so you can't flick thru rapidly; 45s that are "mixed" and not sorted by 60s, 70s etc; NO PRICES on records!!!; some geek grabbing a record you want seconds before you do.... But most dealers are fairly reasonable people, married with children probably.. Frankly I see more weirdo collectors than dealers! Like one guy in Montreal collects Elton John, sells EJ memorabilia at record shows and even dresses like him!!! But he has real hair. And people into Star Trek* are surely more out into the ozone than record dealers.... Denis *BUT: if anyone has a copy of Nichelle Nicholls' (Uhura) 45 on EPIC with picture sleeve, please e-mail me.

And she is about 50 years old and rather shopworn looking. (When a friend of mine told me to "check out the sights," I made pains to avoid her, as it was early and I had had a full breakfast... but many of the "typical male record collector geeks" apparently ate it up.)

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? Yeh, they had one EP out on Charmkin records which they sold at their shows - -- I became the proud owner of one copy when I saw them at the Distillery in Columbus with the Hentchmen and the Insect. Great show, great band, great record. Unfortunately, I guess they didn't last longer beyond that time. And, of course, a certain member of this list can probably fill you in on more details than I ever could. It was a really good record, still one of my faves as far as neo-garage sounds go. I still have not heard the Kings English. If they have a record out, I haven't been able to find it. So I have no idea if they're anything like Thee Flypped Whigs. If they are, they must be pretty good. Dave || "Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end..." || || David J.
