Yeah, I kinda figured the sticking point for a Milkshakes reunion tour would be Mickey. It's too bad, too, since I think he was at least as responsible for that band's greatness as Childish was. He's done some fine recordings since, as well (Mickey & Ludella, Masonics, etc.) Blair ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 07:28:41 -0500 (EST) From: Blair Buscareno Subject: Re: Play Stormy For Me On Tue, 16 Feb 1999, Josh Lewis wrote: > I had some weird callers when I did college radio as a community member, > but nothing as bad as that!

How'd you know what my question was gonna be, Josh? ;-) I guess the oddest caller we'd get at WRUR (University of Rochester) was a guy known as Al the Footman. He used to call up and ask, "So... how're you feeling?" "Uh, OK, I guess." "Are you relaxed?" "Ummm... yeah, I guess." "Why don't you (breath)... take off your shoes?" And it continued from there if you let it. As soon as you said, "OK, *AL!*" he'd hang up.

Why doesn't anyone on this list talk about the Slickee Boys (who were on the 1st Bomp Battle Of the Garage Bands tour)? They covered a lot of 60s classic garage songs ("Invisible People", "Love In", "Psycho Daisies", :Question Of Temperature") & started out in 1976! I remember Kim Kane (Slickees founder) put out Rudi Protrudi's 1st 45 on his own label (they were called Tina Peel then). I also remember going to Pittsburg around 1983 or 1984 with Kim, & my friend Bobby Spieler took us to Eides to look at used records. There was a guy working there who was STAR STRUCK to see Kim Kane. He would not leave us alone with a million questions - it was Greg Kostilech. Kim Kane was invited to join both the Revillos and the Cramps at different times in his career. Obviously I'm biased as a friend of the Slickee Boys, but here are some bands that opened for them when they were just starting out: Chesterfield Kings, Brood, DMZ, Lyres, Fleshtones, Salem 66, Fuzztones, Plan 9, Mosquitos, Das Furlines (R.I.P. Wendy Wild), the Brandos, Kristy Rose & the Midnight Walkers, the Flat Duo Jets, and...U2 - no shit. There are many, many more that I can't remember.

I have to admit, however, that they've never been one of my favorites. That's not to say that I don't like them; just that they don't get me jumping up and down the way other bands (some which I mentioned, some that I didn't) do. On the other hand, I don't recall ever seeing the Slickee Boys, so that might be part of the reason.

I got it yesterday, not from Amazon.com, but from its publisher, University of Illinois Press, if that gives you any idea. It's got tons of footnotes, too. But I think it's gonna be OK. It's not chatty stuff about the guys in the band, but more a scholarly analysis of the music itself (notes and common chord progressions, etc) and the times. I kinda like the idea of a whole chapter examining why and how and what different people brought to the same song. I did spot in my first look through a long attempt to define "garage band" when I thought he might have just said "bands of kids who played in garages in the 60s, and newer bands that try to sound like them," but I'll give it a try and report back next week. I personally like this stuff that digs deeper into the music and times. Kinda what Simon Firth was doing with English rock in the punk days, if you remember his stuff.

But my therapist is helping me work through it. :) Actually, your story reminded me of another one. Anybody whose done community radio knows how important the on-air fund raising 'radiothons' are. (And anyone who has heard them knows how annoying they are.) Anyway, one radiothon, we got a bunch of pledges from one generous donor who spread the wealth to the tune of several hundred dollars in pledges among a bunch of shows. We were quite psyched and figured we had an eccentric eclectic listener out in the wilds of Connecticut. So we sent out the collection forms and waited for the money to roll right in. A week later we got a call from the guy's priest. Apparently our 'angel' was not quite compos mentis (nor was he rich), had gotten carried away with the giving spirit (I guess we were more persuasive than we thought), and then panicked big time when he got the collection notices. We assured the priest that we would accept 50 cents on the dollar. :) As for on-air shenanigans, a year or two before my time at the station, some enterprising soul had G.G. Allin live in the studio. After the inevitable FCC violations the d.j. was only suspended for the rest of the semester I believe. I don't know if anyone ever tried to get Wendy O Williams on.

Can anybody verify that these two >groups are indeed the same? Let's see if I can answer this in a nutshell, as the whole Ohio Express story is full of twists and turns. The Rare Breed were a band from New York or New Jersey. The original Rare Breed 45 of "Beg Borrow And Steal" came out on the Attack label and was produced by Kasenetz and Katz, the brains behind the later "bubblegum" movement of the later '60s. Because the guys in the original band didn't want to be puppets to the producers, K&K terminated the Rare Breed's contract. This is pretty much where the story ends in the "Nuggets" booklet... The "unsubstantiated identity" refers to the original Rare Breed. Nobody is sure what happened to them, but they had nothing to do with any later group by that name, or the Ohio Express, and certainly nothing to do with Kasenetz and Katz. However, the single took off, and I think it became a hit in some regions on the original label. But now, there was no group to promote it. So the production team recruited a stand-in group. Enter Sir Timothy & The Royals. They were a Mansfield, Ohio band, pretty popular in the region. They were managed by the same person who managed the group that became the Music Explosion. Both groups were signed by Kasenetz and Katz. While the Music Explosion got their name from a local radio station catch phrase, Sir Tim & The Royals were picked to promote the Rare Breed single. Before this was to happen, K&K gave them the name Ohio Express. The "Beg Borrow And Steal" single was reissued on Cameo/Parkway under the new name. The flipside, an instrumental called "Maybe" was actually recorded oddly enough by Cleveland band the Measles, which featured Joe Walsh. So neither side of the record was actually by the Ohio Express, but that's how it came out. An album on Cameo was put out, a mishmash of the single and other studio tracks. Then in 1967, a followup Ohio Express album was put out on Buddah, which became the main label of the Kasenetz-Katz team. It was also the beginning of a practice which really makes the Ohio Express story sad and confusing. The two singles on the album, "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and "Down At Lulu's" were not only produced by K&K, but were made by an anonymous studio conglomerate put together by Kasenetz-Katz and songwriting team Artie Resnick and Joey Levine. The latter two had had a hit with the Third Rail's "Run Run Run," another silly pop tune recorded by studio musicians. Thus, you have Joey Levine's vocals on the two Ohio Express singles. The other tracks on the first Buddah Ohio Express album were mostly recorded by the group that had been the Royals. Unlike the singles, the rest of the album was actually quite good psychedelic stuff. But it was the singles that got the airplay, the sales and the promotion. So the Ohio Express has been wrongfully dismissed as a bubblegum band. To make matters worse, the Ohio Express changed personnel many times during the rest of the '60s, but still were under the stranglehold of the Buddah bubblegum empire. So in answer to your question..."Beg Borrow And Steal" by the Rare Breed is the same song as by the Ohio Express, but the two groups were totally different.

I was a big fan of the Slickees too! They covered "Cinderella" even before The Lyres and The Fuzztones, and alot of other cool toons as well. The reason no one talks about them here is probably (my assumption only) 'cause they dressed up (the popular notion here seems to be that bands that dress up can't play real rock & roll), and that they (like Tina Peel) were not solely derivative (ie; "authentic") so therefore not "garage"...they'd probably be labeled "new wave".

Where can >I? What NY papers is it in? Here's the article from the NY Times (which, on closer inspection, does mention the sinister [sorry, lefties] events leading up to the collection's auction): You can see the catalog (without illustrations) online at The other article I saw was a week or two ago in the "Collectibles" column of a New Jersey paper. I can't get to their site right now, and I don't even know if the article would be there, but if you want to try to search for it you can look on . Happy reading... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 19:43:31 +0100 From: MC BIGOT Subject: Hot & New From Paris! I just got three records released last week on parisian labels. 2 new seven inch on Royal: the Kirks from New England(make me think of Teengenerate on their most brutal & lofi days) and Crash Normal from Eastern France (noise punk experiment, like Jon Spencer with a crazy montage a la Mothers Of Invention). But my fave one is Swinging Mademoiselle, a sampler a la Ultra Chicks but on vinyl. 16 cuts (only 3 on the UC cds), all great if you dig those pop ladies. It's mostly original songs (2 covers, the beau Brummels' Just A Little & Sloop John B). The sleeve is awesome & the sound great! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 13:52:42 -0500 (EST) From: Blair Buscareno Subject: Re: Late 70s-Early 80s Garage Bands I dunno, my guess as to why you don't see the Slickees discussed much is 'cuz either (a) people haven't heard them (remember, The Slickees haven't done much in the past decade) or (b) people just didn't like them as much. I fall into the latter camp. I thought they were OK, but they never blew my mind. Perhaps this is 'cuz I didn't see them play. But the records I heard by them over time didn't excite me as much as those by other bands I've mentioned. As to your comment about people not liking them because they weren't solely derivative, well... of course, that's an individual's prerogative. I'll speak only for myself, though - I decide who I like on an individual basis: does the group move me? If not, then I don't buy their records/go see them. There have been plenty of groups that I've liked that people wouldn't consider garage (especially at this point in time); conversely, there have been many "garage" groups that I've found wanting (be they "derivative" or not.)
