One thing is that any band who wants to do a classic cover has the right to do so. Telling the CK shouldn't do it does make any sense.

I agree with Tony here, always do on these issues. Must be kindred spirits or something. The Chesterfield Kings absolutely knocked my socks off. Same with The Kings. I personally got into this stuff after it all finished in the early 9os. As I said earlier it was the 60s stuff I knew about first. In all honesty, other than The Crawdaddys and Prisoners i didn't know that there was a garage 'revival' scene. Other than a few bands though I find 80s garage bands very dated. They make me think of the 80s more than the 60s. Long live The Thanes, Kings and Hearts for doing it well. Less marks for The Fuzztones, Outta Place etc. Big thumbs for The Optic Nerve. Ps.

I think there generally used to be better ones when it didn't have a liquor license and was more of a hang out for kids. Even though they are/were mostly into hardcore/punk/ska I think there was some spill over into other shows. Now the inside of the club has been re-vamped, replacing a hang-out area of the club with the fenced off bar, and I haven't been to a crowded show since, unfortunately. The place does seem to have good sound and does try to bring in good shows of various genres (in addition to ? and the Fleshtones, they've brought in Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials, a show I wish I had seen). I don't think the club sucks as much as the local non-audience. They've spruced the place up, the sound isn't bad, and the shows (and beer) are really inexpensive.

Mojo- I have a sense of humor, but I find people like you, who "got into garage in the 90's after it was over" to grate on my nerves, simply because you act like experts , when you weren't even aware, let alone part, of the scene that paved the way for the stuff you dig NOW! Most of the bands that you dig now were turned on to garage by bands like the Kings, Fuzztones, Pandoras, etc. I was a part of the original garage scene and can say first hand that it was cool to most people that bands like the Fuzztones and Outta Place combined a bit of their own take on the music-it made it more accesible to most people who weren't aware of the music.

I sware, the calls I get are either wrong numbers, or > people who want to hear the Beastie Boys. That's weird. We probably get anywhere from 5 to a dozen calls a week, and sometimes we hear from internet listeners halfway across the country, which is always cool. We give the station's number & area code a lot, as well as encourage people to call w/requests, and it seems to work (even though we rarely have all of the requested stuff with us at the time). I don't know... do you promote your radio show with flyers and stuff? That might help get people to tune in who like that kind of music and so you can actually reach those who dig it. But a lot of times people will listen and NEVER call in, too. > When some other person fills > in, the whole city calls up to tell them the show is great! When you have people fill in for you, what sort of stuff do they play? The same kind of music? Or do they do their own thing? You should definitely only have people fill in for you who will play the same style of music, otherwise listeners will get confused. It just helps to stay consistent. > I don't rely on calls, but it is nice when people let you know they > actually LIKE what you play, or give you some encouragement! Definitely. Makes it seem like you're not doing it all for nothing. Try this: A couple of times during your show, say something you just played was "by request", even if it wasn't (try not to make a big deal out of it, though). A lot of times when people hear this, they'll think, "oh cool, she's playing requests!", and then call ya up with a couple. It's worth a try.

Just because the Fuzztones and Pandoras (and I'm sure other bands) were "it" for you, doesn't necessarily mean that they are "it" for other folks. People are this list can be quite knowledgable about this type of music. It isn't a personal put-down to you, nor are they being snobby or arrogant. They are simply trying to impart knowledge or opinions to others. That's how we all learn more about what's out there. I'm not sure if you are aware of how others may be percieving you posts.

It kind of all depends how I can go about doing this. I've asked them to submit a list of cities they are interested in playing in, and then I'll see what we can do. They have expressed interest in mainly playing on the West Coast, but in all actuality, that may not be as financially viable as doing East Coast dates. Right now, the audiences in the East are broader and more people tend to come out to see bands - and payment is much higher. I'm in the process of trying to bring more overseas bands to the USA, and have been contacted by quite few to do US tours for them. I'll be using some of the info submitted by Bompers last year about booking clubs and stuff. The main problem is publicity. Dr. Explosion played in LA to FIVE people. Nobody met them at the airport, nobody did what they had said they'd be willing to do for the band. If this kind of thing happens, I'm not going to book there. Booking overseas bands means that I will rely a lot on other fans to help me out. I'm not going to make a penny from it, I just wanna see some of my fave bands (and I want my friends to see 'em too!) - but that means committment from the whole "scene", and money enuff to support the band to the minimum (at least) while they are here. It also means a lot of co-operation from their American record companies for publicity materials etc. People to volunteer to poster, people to help put them up in their homes- meet them at airports and help get equipment etc. If anyone has suggestions (Do NOT send a list of bands you want to see!!) of how to go about doing things, I'd REALLY appreciate it and take it all into consideration! Please email me off line about this. Thanks, Glynis ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 22:35:48 GMT From: smf724@ptw.com (Scott) Subject: Rare Breed Vs. The Ohio Express Hello, I hope somebody can solve a mystery for me. For years I owned a 45 by the Ohio Express called "Beg Borrow & Steal". It was a minor hit for them on the boss 30 back in '66 or '67. I still have that record on tape and it sounds exactly like the version appearing on the Nuggets Box, but credit is given to a group called The Rare Breed. The Nuggets booklet vaguely makes reference to an "unsubstantiated" identity change for this group. Can anybody verify that these two groups are indeed the same? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 17:59:28 -0500 (EST) From: dcoyle@bright.net (David J.

I don't know if the 45 on Corby has been reissued, but there are two unreleased studio demos by the same group on the Big Beat CD "Nuggets From The Golden State: Good Things Are Happening." The songs, "Tomorrow Is Another Day" and "Sad Man," are both Beau Brummels-style folk-rock numbers, unlike the Corby 45, which is described in the CD as "R&B-flavoured." They were recorded in mid-1966 at Golden State Recorders, and by the time they were signed, they had taken the name mentioned above. The Neighb'rhood Children, of course, were subject to a Sundazed reissue a while back... Dave || "Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end..." || || David J.

Well, it was listed as an upcoming release in one of the Sundazed catalogs last year or year before, so I assumed since it didn't come out last year, perhaps it will this year. That's what I get for assuming. I'm also still waiting for word on the Leaves comp, the 2-CD Paul Revere/Raiders set, Butch Engle & The Styx. The Magicians and the Luv'd Ones finally came out, but that's all I've seen that I was waiting for... I guess they're just waiting for the right time. Collectables reissued the "Turn On The Music Machine" album with bonus tracks recently, so maybe they're just trying to stagger the flow of MM reissues...

Heck, short of driving 'em around, I could definitely do better up here in Nowheresville (Thunder Bay, Ontario)! Then again, the Bomboras might have a different opinion, considering how they were treated here (that club is now closed). You'd think the home of Dionysus and the Sunset Strip could do alot better. I'm sure Atlanta has been and will be a whole other scene for this most deserving group of Euro-hipsters!

RealAudio helps the call-in numbers, in addition to the 40,000 watts at KDHX. WMFO is only 150 watts and the RealAudio hookup pushed back once again to March, so you figure an available listenership within say 5-6 miles on home stereo in the dark when my show begins when the signal travels a little further and mebbe 10 or 12 miles in car stereos. I've had guys in cabs & limos at Logan Airport call in requests. I've also have had several people say they're taping the broadcast, too. With the exception of a couple of regulars who are known to call in once or twice a month with cool BOMP!ish type of stuff, tell jokes, and fill me in on local scene gossip, most requests are for The Clash, Romantics, Pretenders, Joe Jackson and other early 80s mainstream outfits, as well as a request about a month ago for Louis Armstrong. MJ Quirk was there, I blurted out, "This really doesn't fit the broadcast!" I played it, it didn't kill me. I only hope he listened to the rest of the show. Maybe 2 percent of your audience will call in on any given show, those are from stats compiled from another local Boston college/community station about 5 years back. So the larger the broadcast area, the more calls a show will generate. >We give the station's number & area code > a lot, as well as encourage people to call w/requests, and it seems to > work (even though we rarely have all of the requested stuff with us at > the time).
