Although it doesn't involve cheating, these remind me of the Louvin Brothers' 1958 hit Knoxville Girl, wherein the guy is courting a young woman, everything is seemingly going well, then one day they're walking along and he suddenly beats her to death for no apparent reason.

Still doesn't come close to the Child Molesters "13 Is My Lucky Number" which I played on Scene Of The Crime a couple weeks back when Jeff Hess and I sat in for Jason Rerun. The double 7" on Sympathy credits "the king bros." for this song. Anyone know who that might be?

Generally, if someone respects women for being women they won't use mysoginistic words like that to put someone down. (Another way they could have put her down would've been to use "North Shore Shit", for example. Sounds just as bad, but wouldn't be considered mysoginistic.) I've seen this sort of argument before... "I'm not a mysoginist! I don't hate women... just that one bitch!" It's just that you can't take the dictionary's meaning "hatred of women" so literally. It's a double standard. Sorta like someone saying they don't hate all black people, just niggers! So that somehow doesn't make them racist? See my point? That outta the way, now just let me say that The Devil Dogs are one of my all-time favorite bands, right up there with The Ramones, New Bomb Turks, Makers, etc. kopper (South-Side Bitch) - -- ==================================================================== The Wayback Machine -- Hi-octane rock'n'roll from hell!! 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, surf, & rockabilly...

Had a job on a classic schlock station spinning Bob Seger, REO Speedwagon and Billy Joel. I had to get out... it was driving me insane. How could I go on mic between songs and sound EXCITED about that last Boston track? So now I'm back working for THE MAN and VOLUNTEERING at a public radio station playing what I like for free, and I'm much happier. kopper - -- ==================================================================== The Wayback Machine -- Hi-octane rock'n'roll from hell!! 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, surf, & rockabilly...

So that somehow doesn't make them racist? See my point? Well, that sort of person is obviously racist, but that's not the same sort of statement as what we were talking about before--but other than that, yes, I do see your point. I've never even heard the song that started all this, or any other Devil Dogs song for that matter, so I don't really know what we're talking about, and I don't remember why I said anything in the first place. Never mind.

How are these? I really enjoyed the first two. Vol. 3 is out already? Also, I just got the new Monsters cd (yes, it's on CD!) from Beat-Man at Voodoo Rhythm and it's fucking amazing. Get this one at all costs. It's called "Birds Eat Martians". kopper - -- ==================================================================== The Wayback Machine -- Hi-octane rock'n'roll from hell!! 43,000 watts of primitive garage punk, surf, & rockabilly...

I haven't seen this comped anywhere. Does anybody have any info on the group. The flipside is Everybody Needs Somebody To Love (it really is this time, Frank!). It's a Faro Production which puts it in Los Angeles and also it is released by Tower. The catalogue number puts it after the Standells Dirty Water and before Sometime Good Guys Don't Wear White. Which reminds me, the flip to Sometimes... is another cool anti-Valentine contender, Why Did You Hurt Me. - - PJ ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V99 #64 ************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
