They play not only in garage or rocknroll gigs but also play with hardcore punk bands or other genres. I was wondering if people was gonna mention them about their short tour last fall, because I heard they played pretty early at the night when the Remains played. They also played the Garage Shock two years ago. What I like them most is the drummer. Watching him playing at live is a lot of fun. Their new album called Teenage Delinquent is a bit ecletic but still pretty good. The first album Jack The Violence and 10 inch on Estrus are awesome.

Cheers, Pat. >> my method: (don't laugh, this actually works despite how stupid it sounds) but it takes some guts if it's a pricey disc. Place the disc between 2 plates of glass (i.e. like outta of picture frame) and place extremely heavy weighted object in the center to flatten the record out. I then wait for a warm day (we fortunately have many) and put the whole thing in the back window of my car, so the sun heats is up. I leave it there, depending on how hot it is, for 10-15 minutes or until the disc has begun to soften up. I then take it out to cool somewhere and apply more weight all along the edges. After it cools the disc is usually good to go. If it's an edge warp (these are a bit more difficult) then I apply more weight to that area. I have heard others that use blowdryers, an oven, or whatever as the heating element. I started this after a record had warped in the car heat, so I figured it could be unwarped there as well.

Coyle) Subject: Do the Mojo Workout! >> Mojo Workout (Kingsmen+Raiders) >I think this song similar to I Got Mojo Workin(Muddy Walters). >Does anyone know the relation? Well, "Mojo Workout" is kind of a dance rave-up version of the Muddy Waters/Ann Cole song. Incidentally, I think the Raiders version blows the Kingsmen out of the water. "Grab yer bab-eh, you spin 'er 'round, grab both hands, HOLLAH OUT LOUD!" -- Does the Larry Bright version include these verses? As much as I love Paul Revere and the Raiders in general, their early stuff is really great, ass-kicking rock and roll. I'm still eagerly awaiting the 2-CD pre-Columbia collection on Sundazed that's been promised for months, but is still not out. || "Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end..." || || David J.

So I suppose Arnold >is the winner. According to the booklet with the Robert Johnson collection, Johnson did quite a few covers. So as primitive as the RJ recordings are, very few of the tracks are originals. Speaking of "Milkcow Blues," why did the Chocolate Watch Band record this with slightly different lyrics as "Don't Need Your Lovin'"? The Gonn version is very similar to this track (from "Riot On Sunset Strip") which is identical to the Kinks version which was titled "Milk Cow Blues." Was this a similar situation to the Yardbirds rewriting "Train Kept A Rollin'" as "Stroll On" for the movie "Blow Up"? Or was this an attempt to dupe the record buyers? Dave PS Don't forget the Elvis Presley version on Sun, where the King starts out crooning, stops and sez, "Hold it, fellas...that don't move me.

(but it wasn't Whitcomb's tunes?): anyone knows >anything about that one? > This is from the liner notes to History of Northwest Rock Vol 1: Born in Woking, Surrey, England, Limey Ian Whitcomb became a Northwest rocker by accident. Ending a bus tour of the U.S. in Seattle (where he had a cousin attending college), Ian soon became a favorite of patrons at the old 92 Yesler coffee house. His unique entertainment skills--drawing on ragtime, English music hall material, and some blues--prompted the owners to take him to Jerry Dennon. Dennon signed Ian on the spot; but the first single, an instrumental dubbed "Soho," made no impact. Ian returned to his studies at Dublin's Trinity College, with instructions from Dennon to record with his own rock band, Bluesville. In early 1965, Ian came back to Seattle with the rough mix of a newly-arranged traditional tune, "This Sporting Life," done in a style reminiscent of Eric Burdon and the Animals. Dennon, Ian, and Gerry Roslie of the Sonics went back into the studio to overdub organ and maracas. The record then went out on Jerden and was immediately chosen KJR's "pick of the week." The rest, as they say, is history. Capitol Records' Tower subsidiary took the disc for national distribution, and it quickly rose to a spot inside the national top 30... [Well, actually it only made it to #100 in Billboard. It reached #11 at KJR.] Joey ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 18:05:48 -0800 From: "Joseph Beretta" Subject: Re: Weird covers & Beverly Hillbillies originals! >>And then there's Homer & Jethro, who didn't exactly cover records >>so much as reinvent them, country-style.

The two song are nothing more than tweaked covers, Btu their vibrant delivery more than make up for it.
