The wait is killing me! Then wait no more, folks! The page is finally back up, and now includes a music section with some RealAudio cuts. As it stands right now, all the songs are Soul, but future installments will contain much more Bomp-ish fare. The page (and zine, some day) is certainly transforming into a more generalized R&B form, becuase I was tired of excluding music that I love just so it would fit into certain genres. So expect it to have lots (and lots) of soul, garage, and some hotter Jamaican tunes as time goes by. Just from reading the posts, it's pretty clear that Brian P. from Atlanta (you know, the one in the King's English) :-) digs soul - and I *love* hearing garage covers of soul originals. Anyone want to offer their favorite examples of garage/soul cross-overs? (My vote: "96 Tears" - Jimmy Ruffin).

I always felt The Mosquitos' EP was weak and watered down. I've always been amazed to hear someone who never saw them tell me s/he liked the EP. I could understand their appreciation for the band if they'd heard "Darn Well" off the ROIR Garage Sale tape, but the EP was a disappointment. On the other hand, they were a phenomenal live band (especially in 1984 and up through the middle of '85 or so.) My point is that I'm not surprised to hear The Slickee Boys were a great live act. And, quite honestly, the live act has always meant more to me than the recordings I've heard from bands. Unfortunately, posterity ends up judging bands based on the records, not the live shows, since those who didn't see them don't have that frame of reference. Again, no slight was meant to the Slickee Boys (nor their fans); it's just that they don't mean as much to me as to others, mainly because I didn't see them.

As 'Tones watchers will know Gordon "Legend of a Wheelman" Spaeth returned to the 'Tones fold for the 'Laboratory of Sound' and 'Hitsburg' albums. Indeed he occasionaly gigged with the band in NYC and was even due to play the 'Laboratory' tour in Europe. Imagine how the Euro fans felt about the chance of seeing Mr Spaeth again? Sadly, despite a plane ticket being purchased for him, S-man did not materialise at the airport for the journey to Paris. There could be several reasons for this not least the fact that Gordon was worried about the health implications of a long tour (he has not been a well man in recent years). Both band *and* fans were very saddened at the news but you know the 'Tones ...the show must go on etc. Towards the end of the 'Hitsburg Revisited' sessions last summer the band contacted Gordon once more and invited him to add saxophone to the album. He declined for the reason that he was too busy at the time. Furthermore, Eric Fusco (the only guy in NYC to arrange his birthday parties to take place in the venue where the 'Tones are playing that night!) found himself next to Gordon on the Subway. When asked "Didn't you used to play for the Fleshtones?", Gordon somewhat oddly replied, "Yes, but I'm not working with those guys anymore!" In brief, the guys would love to have him with them once again and there is forever and open invite for The Wheelman to return. For many members of The Fleshtones Hall of Fame, Gordon is every bit a part of the puzzle and magic of the group as Peter, Keith, Bill, Ken and Marek. Anyone who has seen Gordon alongside the 'Tones will know the intensity he brings to the bands performance. In addition he damn well knows his R'n'R and I shall forever remember the chat I had with him, with some friends after a 'Tones set where they were pelted with coins and beer, here in London back in '83 about the Troggs and the Creation. He even took our names, there were five of us, and said he would place us on the guest list for the Marquee show two weeks later. He bloomin' remembered too.

I actually met Simon Frith in 1982 at a "Sociology of Music" conference in Peterborough, Ontario and also read his "Sociology of Rock" book. I agree with the book's basic conclusion (after much comparative analysis of socio-economic/historical British rock context) that rock & roll is essentially a manifestation of young people in pursuit of fun (Hey, I coulda told him that.!). Still, itiwas way more interesting than other boring academic texts I was having to read at the tyme. Frith was a very nice guy to talk to as well. But I came away from that symposium with the profound realization that IMHO (note use of funny short-form), once you start seriously analyzing rock & roll music, it can take much of the *fun* out of being a fan (short for fanatic). Let's face it, garage-punk music (and some other genres) are not easily appreciated from a cold intellectual standpoint. It's a primitive art form which, for some of us, has great importance in our lives. In short, I'd much rather indulge in the trash aesthetic than study it!

Okay, in defense of the Slickee Boys' records, I don't think they made a bad one! The "Live at Last" CD was fantastic, but so were Cybernetic Dreams (some cool psych leanings here), Fashionably Late" and "Here To Stay" (with some great classic covers like "Are You Gonna Be There" and "Live For Today"). I also especially dug their rendition of "Glendora/Goin' All the Way" from Battle of the Garages #1 and "Hazy Shade of Winter" on Midnight's X-mas Mess #2. And finally, ari, better check your assumptions again. Some of us can't even tell if a band is dressed up or not, so why would we judge their music based on that I'll bet those Demolition Doll Rods have some snazzy outfits!?

The Slickee Boys have solid garage roots, but oddly enough they were the Number 1 new wave party band in Washignton, DC when I was growing up and they even played a dance at my high school. They were easily as popular here as Fleshtones were, if not much larger. Their "When I Go To The Beach" single was very very huge, "heard every day on the radio after school that one spring/summer" huge. It's almost as if there were two bands. One garage/new wave band from the 1970s, the other a Huey Lewis-era frat rock/pop band- No disrespect meant, but they were just gigantic, on MTV like every day in 1983, etc. People in my high school didn't know they were local and thought we were getting a national band. >Also, does anyone out there have a channel called BBC America?

I saw many of their Canadian shows, and more often than not, they were sold out. At one point, the band could sell out multiple nights in one city, in venues with a 500 or so maximum.

While they were good in the first few years, it wasn't till about '89 or so that I truly believed they were great. I say this based not on their records, but on their live shows. It seems to me that they became insanely great sometime around then and never let up after that. (Of course, it'd be easy to argue that one of the later records wasn't nearly as good - sorry, forget the name - but Rock And Roll is one of the best damn albums I know of.)

I went to see the last ever Guru's show and it was a total blast, it was in Melbourne. They were supported by The Hekawis and Died Pretty so I got to spend some time backstage and saw what lovely boys the Gurus really are. The Gurus gave it their all they played for 2 and a half hours!!. They played classics plus new stuff from Blue Cave. They did a killer version of Hard day's night and some other 60's covers. Brad sang a beautiful ballad. In Brisbane (which is Brad's home town) they did a Fun Things (Brad's old band) cover (Lipstick?). And they also did 'Television addict' by the Victims (Dave's old band). Highlights were 'axe grinder', 'generation gap', 'poison pen' amongst about 50 other killer originals. Sad to see them go. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 18:25:05 -0800 From: John Francis Kulas Subject: Re: Equip geek stuff...

If the power indicator light is on, then it could be the preamp tubes. At any rate, Billy Zoom works on Farfisas in Orange, CA. You should be able to find his website by searching his name.
