The M.A. were AMAZING, playing alot of nuggets/pebbles material expertly. They sounded exactly like the records. I waited a year for them to play their next show, which was again at Seattle's Crocodile Cafe. COMPLETELY different material, again competently played. They had become almost a mod/Small Faces tribute band, performing "All or Nothing" and probably 6 or 7 other Small Faces songs, as well as 2 or 3 by The Jam. They sounded pretty good, although they tried to sound exactly like the originals (one could do a lot worse), added nothing to the music, and took the music nowhere it hadn't been before. Undoubtedly the hardest part of trying to copy the Small Faces is the vocals. There are not many singers who can match Ian Maclaghan's husky, soulful pipes. Foster did a commendable job, but he is no Maclaghan (and who is?). I look forward to seeing reviews from others. Allan Waite The "Hip" Hugger Don't sweat petty things....or pet sweaty things.

I know a few of you are huge fans of DM3. I wrote to Australian radio station Triple J to ask them why the don't play any Perth power pop bands like DM3 while they play Great Eastern States bands like Icecream Hands. The response was that DM3 aren't good enough and don't write good enough songs!! This pisses me off because bands like DM3, Chevelles, Jack & The Beanstalk et al are struggling to get any crowds or reconition here in Perth and are of a similar high standard. They are more popular overseas.

Others are >butchers. This is one of the reasons I try and give people who write for me as free a hand as possible. I do what little I can to clean up spelling and grammar (tho' I'm far from an expert... obviously!), but prefer to let writers have a free hand. On occasion, this has meant musicians have been a bit upset with me because they believed a writer left a bad image of them in the eyes of the readers. Luckily, these have also been people I've gotten to know pretty well over the years and they've understood that I like to be pretty hands-off when it comes to letting writers have their say... Being artists themselves, that's something they can appreciate. Having said I usually have a hands-off policy, I should also note that I refuse to publish anything that *I* don't want to read. I may not like the way someone came off in an interview or article that's been submitted to me, but that's OK; but I will absolutely NOT allow someone to use my publication as a forum for his/her hatred and prejudice. I should also note that I have no problem with magazines that have a viewpoint that they want to get across. They're the ones running that particular show, so they have the right to shape it as they please. If a writer doesn't like that policy, s/he must choose between the pros of being published by that publication (money, exposure, etc.) and the cons (butchering of a piece of writing, stifling of expression). As it stands, most of us in this world must work for a living. As a result, that sometimes means we have to suffer the consequences.

The song itself is a decent 70s rocker that kind of reminds me of The Raspberries in a way. The question that came immediately to my mind was, "Is this the same Kingsmen who recorded "Louie, Louie," "Annie Fanny," "The Jolly Green Giant" and all those?" Well, is it? Anyone out there know? Just thought I'd ask. Brian NFTG P.S. 3 other cool 45s I found were The Ventures: "2000 Pound Bee, Pts. 1 and 2" (one of the most rockin' songs the Ventures ever did, at least to my ears), The Other Side's "I Wanna Be There" (great organ pounder)/"Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and The Sidekicks' "Fifi The Flea"/"Not Now." ("Fifi's" a sad tale of a circus flea's unrequited love, but "Not Now's" a real nice pop rocker with a great fuzz guitar break toward the middle). _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Some cool pictures though. Saw it >at Tower yesterday, but never considered purchasing it. I think that is the guy that wrote the Brian Jones book 'Who Killed Christopher Robin'. I thought that this book was definitely more objective than the one called 'Golden Stone' by that old fan. Why do you say he is a crank?. > ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 23:42:39 EST From: TSanc43763@aol.com Subject: Re: Double Dutch In a message dated 1/24/99 8:37:23 PM EST, felinefrenzy@mindspring.com writes: << I'd be VERY interested in reading translations of articles on these groups.

Glynis, would that be the same "Stengun" that Linda van Dyke sang w/Boo& the Boo boos? :) Tony I do have a question though, is Reza & the Firecats any connection to Group Reza? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 15:51:11 +1100 From: "JOANNA M" Subject: Re: Perth Pop > >Triple J sucks the big one.

Anyway if you follow the link you can read what I >>have written and have your say if you wish. >> I know this could step on a few toes but, what you have written is so true, I couldn't agree with you more. Mainstream Aussies are so deluded by brit pop and grunge or the like, poor souls that they cant see the wood for the trees. We have always had such fantastic talent in Australia but we fail to recognise it in our frantic struggle to procure those overpublicised overseas bands. And why, simply because the radio stations tell us to buy buy buy from HMV. The first band I ever saw was the Go-Starts in Perth at the Wizbah (Dom Mariani's first band before the Stems) and I still think they shit on most 80's power-pop worldwide. Un-publicised Aussie bands throughout the ages, well there is the Stems (huge in Europe but practically unknown here except on Bomplist perhaps) the Marigolds, The Scientists, The Lincons, The Bamboos, The Swamp Monsters, Neptunes, Hekawis, Crusaders, Exotics, Intoxica, Sunnyboys etc etc. As for DM3 - they rule the school. Whoever said to you that they dont write good songs doesn't deserve their fuckin' ears and I'd sure like to know how the dumb ass shit got to have a radio show. Then again that person is probably a Silverchair or Whitlams fan and has a way smaller record collection than most of the people on this list (and if they dont well, heck! at least we buy our with hard earned lurcre!!). What I wanna know is why cant mainstream Australian radio dj's stop carrying on about wanky musicianship (Yawn) and start appreciating energy and honesty instead. Why do Aussie bands get more bloody airplay in Europe and the States than in their own country???. All I can say is thank god for the small mercy of independent radio stations. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 22:50:43 -0600 From: unkraut@io.com (Scott Gardner) Subject: Stronger Than Dirt 1/23/99 (A copy of this message has also been posted to the following newsgroups: alt.music.banana-truffle) The following was the Stronger Than Dirt playlist for January 23.
