While I never thought The Oblivians made great records, I thought they were an amazing live band. Pussy Galore, on the other hand, I never liked in either setting. To my ears, it was just noisy crap, in the same way that Sonic Youth was. (Before anyone gets all nuts, remember, I'm just stating my opinion, just as Nipper did.) Of course, this is coming from a guy who's not into JSBX, either. (I remember seeing a show at the Knitting Factory 9-10 years ago, with the Original Sins opening, followed by JSBX, then The Lyres. I was glad it was a summer evening, 'cuz I'd've hated to have been forced to stay indoors and endure the entire JSBX set.) One of the very best >garge bands of the '80s, embarassing all those Paisley pop bands Again, we'll have to disagree. The difference, tho', may be that I *like* (what I consider to be) good pop music (Paisley or otherwise); perhaps Nipper goes more for the noisy stuff. Personally, I'd much rather have been at an Original Sins, Headless Horsemen, Chesterfield Kings, etc. show than one by Pussy Galore. In fact, I think I'd've rather been home watching TV than seeing PG.

This is a phenomenon I don't understand. An original copy of a vinyl BOOTLEG that reissued rare tunes in horrible quality is now a collectable?!. Back when all these great songs were unavailable anywhere else, it was exciting just to have them in any condition (I taped those "Chocolate Soup for Diabetics" vinyl comps and played them until the tape tore!), but with so much of these tunes being released in great sound quality, who would want an "old-style" bootleg (horribly pressed from horribly dirty 45s)? The CD version of Chocolate Soup, which is a bootleg, sounds a 1000 time better than those vinyl versions of the series! Alot of these songs are even coming out on legitimate releases (for example, the Decca "scene" comps). I really dug and appreciated those old vinyl bootlegs like "Chocolate Soup," "Demention of Sound" and "Electric Sugar Cube Flashbacks" at the time when they came out, but now I just look at the covers every once in a while. ===== Ashley Ericson __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 16:01:09 -0800 From: Alyssa & Chris Subject: Re: Pussy Galore .............don't leave out Boss Hog....another descendant of Pussy Galore. ~ALYSSA Jeff Monk wrote: > > > Well Evan get ready to rock.

I find it surprising that more people hold driver's licenses and own motor vehilces than guns and yet the Gun lobby has all the clout. Think of all the laws, regulations, fees, fines and paperwork involved in getting a license, maintaining a license, operating and owning a car. Now ponder that most of the regulations come from government and folks, there are more coming every day. Just log on to your state's (or province's) website and look under "legislature" and bills. What amazes me is that the motorists say nothing in protest. We are the most overtaxed and regulated constituancy in the land, subject to some of the most onorous laws, fines and regulations. And I'm not talking about the basic rules of the road here. In my state you can lose your license for not paying a parking ticket (which most towns hand out like toilet paper). When the gun debate is viewed in that light, I've got one thing to say to the NRA.

Thanks Evan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:22:13 -0600 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: Discovery >Does anyone know of any other related discs? Other similar artists? My favorite collection of this ilk is a hard to find one called "Bravos Del Ritmo", however http://www.gemm.com lists a vendor that has it. It features one of the giants of music, Machito, Richie Reyes' "Feria En Manizales", Ray Barretto ("El Watusi" was his big crossover hit in the fifties, but he has had a great career after that as well. If you want another great compilation that is much easier to find, try "Dancing with the Enemy: Cuba Classics 2" on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. In both cases, the liner notes are in English; Byrne's label's comp actually has the lyrics in English (but not in Spanish!?). This features Maria Theresa Vana, who recorded until she was in her eighties, Los Zafiros and the wild Los Van Van. This is the best volume for the old time stuff. Skip volume 3, if that is too modern for you (it was for me). As far as artists are concerned, you cannot go far wrong with Celia Cruz y Sonora Matancera. Ms. Cruz has been performing for four or five decades and she said in an article, "I plan to die onstage". She is STILL recording and touring, but I like her work with Sonora Matancera (she must have too; she married a trumpet player in the band!) Palladium has issued "Celia Cruz, Cuba's Queen of Rhythm" which has her "Pa'la Paloma", a favorite of mine. She's the queen of 'em all, y'all, She's the queen of 'em all, y'all. There is also the still recording and still touring Tito Puente. I saw him in concert and he was one lively 70 year-old! I recommend "Dance Mania" (vols. 1 and 2), which are both wonderful, but see if you can find the CD that has both albums on it (or did I dream that one?). There is also "El Rey Del Timbal", another outstanding collection. Since he has recorded over 100 albums, I don't know which has the original version of "Oye Como Va", which was later made more famous by Santana. Another couple of fellows worth seeking out are Johnny Pacheco (I have his first album and it's an absolute killer!) and although, there are folks on the list that would turn up their noses, Gitano by Carlos Santana is a great song (it's on Amigos, which is not the greatest of albums). There is also Tito Rodriguez. I would recommend "Live at the Palladium" (he also has two cuts on "Bravos del Ritmo"). I hope this is of value to you. I am partially Cuban (don't speak Spanish, but I can pronounce it well, so I am told), so I may be culturally pre-disposed to this music. I grew up listening to it, because my parents both loved it. My Father was part Cuban and my Mother is eclectic and I am...

He plays with an orquestra (orchestra) and there are a couple-a CD's out with his stuff. This stuff is really old, it kinda sounds like the music that Ricky Ricardo's group would play on "I Love Lucy". How 'bout the Joe Cuba Sextet? Maybe you've heard their song "El Pito (I'll Never Go Back to Georgia)" It's on the soundtrack to the movie Crooklyn. Some other groups that I've heard and enjoy, but they aren't necessarily from Cuba: Willie Colon and Ruben Blades. They started off playing together and then they both went solo. Either way (together or solo) they both put out some really good stuff. Maybe listen to their "Best of" CD. Celia Cruz is also very popular, she is on the spanish channel quite regularly playing with her group. Do you get the TV show called Sabado Gigante in NY? It's an all day TV show that is kinda like a mix between The Price Is Right and Star Search because they have games and performers. Anyways, it is on on Saturday and some of the musical guests are pretty popular people like Celia Cruz and Tito Puente...Lemme know off list if you are interested maybe I can get you some copies of this stuff from my dad, cause I might be going home this weekend. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:30:59 -0600 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: Discovery >Another oldtime Cuban guy is named Arsenio Rodriguez.

According to All Music, "...he would later become known as "El Ciego Maravilloso" ("The Marvelous Blind One")." And foithermore..."During this period, the standard format for playing son was the Septeto, consisting of trumpet, guitar, tres, bongos, bass, maracas and claves, with two or more band members singing. The general trend in the 1930s had been for the son to stray somewhat from its African roots, adopting a more subdued sound. This would all change around 1940 when Rodriguez added conga drum, piano, and a second (and later third) trumpet to the typical son ensemble, giving birth to the conjunto."

When other rockers bought houses and drugs, he bought publishing & video rights. > The liners also mention that this >package represented the first ever legitimate CD reissue of any DC5 material. I might be wrong, but that is I believe the only legit cd in print in the US at all, then or since. > Pussy Galore? >Another "essential?" band I have never heard. What and who do these guys sound like exactly? Pussy Galore are one of my all time favorite bands and I missed them every time they played in DC, I missed them when they played on my damn college campus (note- this was 86 and they were just getting started and I was 18). At the time people told me they were an art/noise/goth band influenced by the Swans. But in reality they "sound exactly" like a bluesy punk/garage band that threw up on tape. Horrible quality, extremely questionable lyrics, most humorously poking fun at the DC punk scene, dirty, grungy, noisy garage with screaming drugged out vocals. At one point they released a cassette of them recording the Rolling Stones Exile on Mainstreet album in it's entirety. Perhaps ballsy? Perhaps a bloated concept? Jon Spencer cleaned up his sound considerably before starting the Blues Explosion. Check out the compilation of their early material, the name of which escapes me, I would lean toward their earlier stuff because that is more rock and less conceptual.

"Corpse Love" was on Caroline. I also like the early ep's (which this collects) better than the later stuff. It also has part of their "Exile" cover. >>You should be able to easily score the Matador reissues of the LPs Sugar >>Shit Sharp EP, Dial M, and Right Now.
