Since you asked, I work as a consulting actuary. I work for a large firm, but have a fair amount of autonomy. I'm in the office 35-40 hours a week on average, and actually work about 15-30 of those. The rest of the time I spend either butting heads with the idiots on this list (warning! JOKE!) or hitting the delete key. I also can listen to music should I choose. (Right now, I'm digging a tape I made of Nederbeit 45s for those keeping score at home). That allows the band to operate in a vacuum, and then we can play exactly what we like and look exactly how we like, whether anyone likes us or not. If the stars align, and in the wake of the next Austin Powers movie (The Spy who Shagged Me), there's a box set release called Dutch Nederbeit Loons (Loons trademark licensed from Satx/Chilson and Associates) on vinyl, creating an instant and unquenchable desire for our brand of R&B delinquency (live and on vinyl only, cuz that's what we like), then so be it! Maybe THEN we'll get that Little Kings sponsorship! In the meantime, I'll gladly continue working on a Tsing-Tsang...

Suggested method of keeping your girlfriend true: get a hideously ugly girlfriend so the other guys won't even be slightly tempted to check out the goodies. * Charlie Walker - I Wouldn't Take Her to A Dogfight. Extremely hateful lyrics.......e.g. "I wouldn't take her to a dogfight / Not even if she had a chance to win." A fine companion piece to Ugly and Slouchy. * Charlie Walker - Tell Her Lies and Feed Her Candy. Here, the father of a young lady that Charlie wants to court advises Charlie to "Tell her lies and feed her candy....." Amazing. Also recorded by Porter Wagoner. * Willie Nelson - I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye - guy strangles girlfriend to prevent her from leaving him. Sample lyric: "The flesh around your throat is pale / Indented by my fingernails." Minor country hit around 1965 or so. Later covered by Porter Wagoner. Also re-recorded on an album Willie put out last year titled Teatro. * Johnny Paycheck - (Pardon Me) I've Got Someone to Kill - title really says it all. Cheating spouse drives hubby to homicidal rage. * Wynn Stewart - I'm Gonna Kill You - festive toe-tapper about cheating spouse driving hubby to, you guessed it, a homicidal rage. * Bill Anderson - The First Mrs. Jones - wife leaves husband who tracks her down and shoots her. Sample lyric: "I dug and dug for hours / And then I planted flowers / On top of the 1st Mrs. Jones." Also recorded by Porter Wagoner. and speaking of PW..... * Porter Wagoner - The Cold Hard Facts of Life - superb chilling account of cuckolded husband slicing up wife and her lover. Written by Bill Anderson, I guy I'd rather not get on the wrong side of, despite the fact that he looks so goofy and harmless....Also recorded by Freddie Hart, Ferlin Husky, Johnny Darrell, Mel McDaniel, and T. Tex Edwards. A true classic...... * Porter Wagoner - The Snakes Crawl At Night - here's a surprise....a cheating wife drives her husband into a homicidal rage. Also recorded by Charlie Pride. * Freddie Hart - The Neon and The Rain. See description for Snakes Crawl At Night, etc. Sample lyric: "As I sit beneath the steering wheel, a gun in my right hand / I watch the woman I married keep a date with another man." * Autry Inman - Six Rounds of Love & Hate. More cheating and killing. * Bobby Wright - Upstairs In the Bedroom. Guess what? More cheating and killing. Bet you didn't see THAT coming. * Waylon Jennings - Julie - a young wife drives her husband mad with her extra-marital affairs. In Waylon's version, the b-side of one of his hits from 1966 or so, the husband is telling the story from the confines of a straight-jacket after he is institutionalized following a complete emotional breakdown.....shades of the Rubber Room. There is no mention of violence in Waylon's original, but when Porter Wagoner recorded it, he altered the storyline slightly, creating a scenario where he's waiting behind the door for Julie & her boyfriend to come home. In his hand is a gun with three bullets, one for each of them. And, lest anyone get the impression I listen to nothing but country music: * Louis Jordan - Gal, You Need a Whippin' . OK, a couple of those (like the Jordan cut) are early to mid-1950's and I think the original post asked about mid 60's tunes and all of the rest pretty much fit the mold, with an exception or two. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 15:53:41 -0500 From: "Germani, Greg" Subject: Raunch Hands Blair, in reference to a Raunch Hands song called "A Man Needs A Woman, " wrote: > They didn't write it, but their version was pretty definitive. Anyone know the source of this song. It's definitely NOT Percy Sledge's oft-played soul ballad. It's a different song entirely. Heck, I always thought that one was an original due to the fact that, philosophically, it seemed to fit in quite well with Raunch Hands' songs like Spit It On The Floor from the very early days.

You can actually hear this at the Junk Radio archive, Sept. 1997. http://www.junkradio.com and follow the archive link, under Boudoir de la Musique (even though I think this was recorded before the 60's).

Anyways, as is obvious from one listening, Ry Cooder's slide work and the slow pacing dominate the single version. Plus the middle part lets Mick do his flourescent light dance in the movie. The Metamorphosis version (and another mix I have on a boot CD) are not as interesting. It's basically Keith thriving on the riff at midtempo (not that there's anything wrong with that), the lyrics are run through quickly with no time for emphasis, and there's no middle part. It's no "Much rather be with the boys".

It stumps me on why this talented band would take such a boring road, instead of doing a great LP of all obscure covers. Same here. Ironically enough, I'm betting they recorded it for commercial reasons, to attract buyers who aren't as heavily into obscure 60s material as most of the people on this list. Perhaps some people that got their first exposure to garage music via the Nuggets boxed set are interested in hearing a "contemporary" band's take on some recognizable songs and might pick it up to check them out. I think it was a mistake also. Jane Fondle wrote: > The Remains tickets are 22.50, which is pretty ironic to spend the big bucks on a garage band! Ahh, well...welcome to the '80s. Uhhh.... '80s?

I agree with Ton and Fred and Dave on this one. For a band who've been knocking it out for so long, a few originals or 'obscuro' covers ala the first LP wouldn't go amiss. The last Sundazed single was great, y'know the original cut. Howevver, the way the Kings have lept back onto the garage scene is OTT. Are they becoming some kinda K-Tel garage hits combo or what? The band are decent but I'd far rather hear the originals they're covering. - - Jon 'Mojo' Mills Shindig Magazine London, UK ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 18:20:32 -0600 From: Logie Subject: Vertical Pillows!?!?!? > ..But > the band everyone in Montreal loved were The Vertical PIllows! A class > act!!! The Maneaters were fairly scrumptious too! Ah! the good ol,days! > Denis (getting old...) Wow. When I was living 'round Detroit I wondered why nobody outside the Motor City liked the VPs as much as I did. They had good nights and bad, but at their best they were a terrific band. The b-side of Rob Tyner-produced single "Jump Back/R.U.N." is just killer, with a crazed wah-wah sound that was never quite reproduced at their shows because they lost the wah pedal and it was kinda tricky to play the chords and wiggle the wah at the same time (my old housemate, a former VP boyfriend, actually wiggled the wah during the session). OK, for those of you who never heard the single, this is a little more information than you needed... Anyway, 3/4 of the band -- Paula (guitar), Dana (bass) and Monic (drums) -- regrouped as The Motor Dolls and were gigging around Detroit as recently as 97-98 (?) but friends have told me their "new sound" is somewhat analogous to the Pandoras egregious "new sound" circa that EP. I haven't had the chance to listen for myself, but I'd be surprised if the Motor Dolls' stuff didn't have at least a touch of the old VP fire.

Blair, et.al. You do make a good point about the price of the Remains show (which I gladly shelled out, btw, on Saturday) having to make it worthwhile for these guys. Being a struggling musician myself, and having been paid sums like $7 for a show, I also love it when my group makes $500 (which don't pay the bills, it's band fund.) So, I fully appreciate bands being compensated their worth. I was pointing out the irony of seeing "protopunk" and the inherent meaning of such words, and paying more for that show than I have any in about 5 years. And to this tiresome jello thread, and as to who would win? Ahhh, probably me and some of my friends!

BTW, we are switching web hosting companies over the next two weeks, hopefully the transition will be smooth, but if Murphy's Law makes a ruling we may have a few days when we may be offline. Also for those who asked, we will be archiving much of Rev Joe's series, but we only have a limited amount of space on our server so I'm not sure if we will get it all on at one time.

Well, you didn't mention Converse, but I just ordered a pair of banana-colored hi-tops from this site and got great service.
