I just hope, Blair, that you never see or hear "Antenna", a little act that Dave Faulkner and Kim Salmon are involved in at the moment. I like to think I'm open minded but lame "dance" influenced mainstream pop leaves me feeling very cold. Hopefully Brad Shepherds project with his brother Murray will be more like it. The Stems were such a great band, I really felt they blew it when they split. Australia had quite a few garage influenced bands at that time..The Arctic Circles, The Hard Ons (before they discovered hardcorepunk), The Lime Spiders, The Puritans, The Breadmakers, The Neptunes, The Marigolds, The Gas Babies and The Shindiggers all put on great shows and made some cool records.

It was truly embarrassing, even my metal friends were squirming in their seats! It wasn't Dave and Brad's fault though, Hole didn't know what they were doing, the bassplayer just couldn't get it right and Courtney was too busy trying to keep a little bit of her top on whilst playing, but let's face it, "Bittersweet" is not the most complicated song in the world to play! If the Guru's were dead, I reckon they would've been spinning in their graves!!

I was just spinnin' some 45s that I haven't listened to in a while and I put on my two DMZ 7" records - the Bomp EP (1977) and the Crypt live EP (1978). Both contain versions of The 13th Floor Elevators' "You're Gonna Miss Me" and the live record includes their cover of The Chocolate Watch Band's "Are You Gonna Be There (at the Love In)?" By picking up on the energy inherent in these recordings, Jeff "Mono Man" Conolly showed that he was definitely ahead of his time (odd as that may sound), as were The Fleshtones. I'm curious if JJ Rassler can tell us whether the other DMZ band members were as familiar with these 60s garage acts as Mono Man was, or if he "introduced" them to this (at the time) fairly obscure stuff? >> It's odd as many times as I saw the Fleshtones early on, it was outta coincidence in LA or SD. I was either there to see the Crawdaddys, The Last, or The Unclaimed. I remember them even opening for a Standells reunion. I just never got into them as much as other groups from the East Coast. This is not to say they are not good musicians, they are and I know there are tons of fans that think they're tops, they just never did it for me. The Kings, Lyres, Vipers,Prisoners, early Stems &Lime Spiders, Unclaimed, Tyrnaround, Plasticland, Milkshakes,Crimson Shadows, Creeps... all moved me a lot more. Although, I am the result of more of 'mod' rnb scene, so I was way more close minded back then (my loss I suppose).

I used to get about 6 regular callers who would hammer away at the phones when I started talking, etc. I got everything from "my sister took me to see Richard and the Young Lions" to "Rush Limbaugh said this thing and I want you to talk about it," often the same caller. Most commonly it was, "this 1970s horror film is on cable and it's so bad it's good talk about it." Which is like really tired after a while. There are a finite number of horror films which are so bad they are good and then after that what are you sitting around talking about, anyway? Then there was a lawyer who was obsessed with the planet of the apes and would request the Mummies "Planet of the Apes" song over and over again, like twice in the same show, etc. No, I had people show up unanounced to "hang out," I had people track me down at home, I had people send me tapes at home and expect me to tape their favorite songs. I had a guy lend me his collection of 1960s radio reel-to-reels and then ask me to tape him 100 tapes and when I wasn't done after 6 months he started leaving harrassing phone messages- I eventually sumped it all on his porch. It was not a fun thing when I was trying to do something fun in a stodgy town and I became a lightning rod for some people with few friends. no calls isn't such a bad thing.

Streng's always thought that Faulkner was a great rock & roller. In the meantime, we'll have to do with the Streng/Adny Shernoff collaborative EP coming up (Keith told me that he just saw the cover art and it's great, but we've got to wait a bit for the record). Concerning the Gurus, I've thought that just about everything they did was solid. "Blow Your Cool" was full of great songs, but suffers from a terrible 80's producer's sheen to it (it was still one of the most important records for me in college). The only record that I thought was so-so was "Crank," because the songwriting quality dipped a bit, IMO. Sadly, their swan song "Blue Cave" was among their strongest (sound-wise, as well as songwriting) but to no avail. Long live one of the great rock & roll bands.

A Milkshakes US reunion tour would be amazing, but I fear that it won't happen. I imagine that Steve Coleman will back up my guess, as we've corresponded of late regarding the great Mickey Hampshire and, according to Steve, the lad doesn't get out much anymore. Does anyone else agree with me that Hampshire has (has) one of the all-time great rock & roll voices? On par with Eddie Cochran.... His screams alone (I'm thinking of "Brand New Cadillac") were astounding! Joe _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
