As for his being hip...? >Doesn't seem likely. Well, let's not write him off completely. He was and is a great fan of the wonderfully surrealist Goon Show, a radio program of the fifties that featured Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. Who could be completely unhip with plots like these: - Two characters race to reach the age of 21 first. - A lucrative trade is set up to import British snow to the Sahara. - A fellow is determined to conquer Mount Snowden, by eating it. - A material called "Scradje" is used to decrease the instances of shoes and boots exploding. He would have been just 11 by the time show was cancelled, but if you were Randy California, in two or three years, you'd be playing guitar with Spirit, so feh on the age issue. Also, John Lennon was a big Goon Show fan, too. Prince Charles did some acting in Cambridge, as well. So while none of this puts him foimly in the hip firmaMINT (Hi, all you "Singin' in the Rain" fans!), it may not be likely, but possible.

(From an AP article on Millennium celebrations:) In San Francisco, the Ad Hoc Committee Against the New Millennium staged a solemn march against the whole thing. ''Growing up in the '60s and '70s we were promised things like rocket cars, space travel, alien encounters ... android sex slaves,'' said Horace Higginbottom, who thinks the world has been cheated out of the future. ''What do we get instead? They gives us the lousy Internet, crummy e-commerce.'' ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 10:31:17 -0600 From: "colin bryce" Subject: re: Guess Who Jason Mata wrote: >>Was it this list where a Canadian guy was pissed off at either Burton Cummings or Randy Bachman, and so he spent a bunch of time shitting all over The Guess Who?<< To recap the chain of events, coz I think it was me yer referring to... but I don't think it was a lot of time, 3 posts maybe... I posted that I thought the Guess Who were crap and especially after Burton joined (someone else chimed in that Chad Allan was the real weenie), and because I live here in Winnipeg and have had to put up with the "greatest thing ever to come out of Winnipeg" for years, when they really contributed virtually nothing to the scene once they became successful, and usually only come back to grab some cash or publicity... Have you followed any of the Bachman vs BTO saga at all? What a fucking joke that is, and Fred Turner is one of the nicest guys you'd ever wanna meet. It so happened that, because I get the digest version and others get the emails individually, that folks were offended thinking I was slagging other listers off when I really wasn't! It was just the way the emails were received... I just can't stand the Guess Who -- and loads of other locals don't either by the way. Mike Furnish (local) chimed in with his support and the correction on my erroneous "Herzog" info by the way.... Tho Jeff "Electrophonic Tonic" (local) has yet to comment on the GW's coolness level as far as he is concerned. Jeff? Burton has been on the radio here pretty much non-stop for the past 6 months playing loads of his own stuff and collecting large... . He did recently owned up to the Zep rip off (another band I don't enjoy by the way - tho I love Page's Yardbirds work) that "American Woman" is - and - the fact that he doesn't really even like the song very much! Also in his defence - also posted here - he has played some great stuff that "oldies" radio seldom plays. Alongside a host of cool R&B, local things like the Quid etc.., and more obscure numbers, he has played a rare Bachman instro called "Made In England" that is basically a tribute to the Shadows. IT"S BRILLIANT! I'll admit to a new found respect for Burton and the Guess Who after listening to him co-host but I still don't really dig their stuff very much... I think I have every right to listen to what I enjoy and state why (whether the reasons make sense to anyone outside my hometown or not) I don't enjoy their music... To each his own... eh? I wonder if anyone else has any comments on their own "local heroes" that many of us enjoy but they feel are somewhat less than "heroic"? All the best, Colin ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 19:04:48 +0100 From: "cedric \"Big C\" Fautrel" Subject: Re: Happy New Year!

Coyle) Subject: Some Odd Lots bargain tapes/Sundazed 2000 Anyone ever find any goodies in their local Odd Lots stores? They've always got a nice selection of cutout and bargain CDs and tapes for $6.99 and $2.99 respectively. Lots of R&B, soul and country, but occasionally some rock and roll. Just the other day I actually found some 99 cent cutout Sony tapes of "Begin" by The Millennium, "Supersnazz" by the Flamin' Groovies, and "Gene Clark With The Gosdin Brothers." The first is a 1967 Gary Usher/Curt Boettcher project, similar to their other project Sagittarius, with some of the music being a mite heavier than the latter's dreamy psych-pop. There are a couple of unreleased tracks on the tape. "Supersnazz" is the official debut of the legendary Flamin' Groovies, with a mix of blues/folkrock/rockabilly flying in the face of all that was trendy in '68. The one-time songwriting genius of the Byrds teamed up with the country/bluegrass fiddlers for his solo debut in 1966, carrying on the move towards country-rock that his bandmates had previously only dabbled in but would later dive into with 1968's "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo." Clark, the Gosdins and other musicians, including session whiz Glen Campbell and present/future Byrds Chris Hillman and Clarence White, don't stray _too_ far from the jangly chiming folk-rock of the Byrds, so it's worth checking out by fans of McGuinn, Crosby and company. Sony might also consider reissuing this as a companion to their ongoing Byrds project. I'm sure this and the Millennium/Groovies albums were also reished on CD at the time (1991) but it's high time they all got the deluxe treatment. Which brings me to reminding you all to check out the Sundazed website. Sundazed is planning to do just that with the "Supersnazz" album, following up their fairly recent "Supersneakers" CD (which combined the Groovies 1967 10" "Sneakers" with unreleased live tracks). It promises to be a highlight in a year that also will supposedly spawn (finally) "Ignition" by the Music Machine, an unreleased album by the Mojo Men, a compilation of CA's Butch Engle and the Styx. Also planned is a reissue of the "Are You A Boy Or A Girl" album by the Barbarians with bonus tracks ("Hey Little Bird" of course) as well as a "long-overdue" compilation of the Gants ("Road Runner," "I Wonder," etc.). Don't forget the upcoming Box Tops reissues. Who knows when all this stuff will actually come out, though? Butch Engle, the Mojo Men and Music Machine have all been promised for several years now, and I have yet to hear more about the Paul Revere and the Raiders pre-Columbia era set that was announced. However, January is apparently the expected release time for the "Midnite Ride," "Alias Pink Puzz," "Hard and Heavy (with marshmallow)" and "Goin' To Memphis" reissues. So unless Y2K wipes out Sundazed's computers and sends Tim Livingston and Jud Cost into underground shelter, and causes all the master tapes of cool '60s bands to dissolve into unremasterable goo, 2000 sounds like a cool year for us garage rock fans...

So does >anyone know if Prince Charles was into the hip scene >that was goin' on in the UK in the mid-60's? Maybe >some of our UK Bompers might know. Prince Charles actually spent the mid-sixties here in Australia, attending some posh boys' school in Geelong, Victoria. It's seems unlikely that he would have spent his free time diggin' bands like the Easybeats, Throb, or the Missing Links. He may well have gotten down to the Seekers, however.

Make sure you get that. As for Thee Headcoats, where do you begin? Mr. Childish and his various crews have recorded so much stuff. My personal fave is "Thee Headcoats Condrum" (sic) on Super Electro, which contains some of Billy's most pissed-off songs. Also recommended are "The Earls Of Suave" (Crypt), "Cowboys Are Square, This Is Hip" (Hangman, I believe), "Beach Bums Must Die" (Crypt)and "Heavens To Murgatroyd, It's Thee Headcoats Already" (Sub Pop). Seek those out and you shouldn't be too disappointed.
