After seeing JSBX live (1994, Tramps, New York) right after "Orange" came out I've been ready to testify that. That was the gig of the nineties for me: intensive, aggressive, full of soul, full of energy... something you just don't see too often anymore. For once in my life I was able to think that I was in the right place at the right time. Other highlights of the nineties (not in any particular order): The Hellacopters in Stockholm 1995, The Fleshtones in Brooklyn 1995, ? & The Mysterians at Coney High 1998, 5678's at Coney High 1997, Dead Moon in Helsinki 1996, The Renegades in Helsinki 1998, The Lyres at Brownies 1995, Tribute to Doo-wop and Rhythm and Blues in Harlem 1999 (with The Dells etc.), Iggy Pop in Helsinki 1993, Thee Ultra Bimboos in Berlin 1996, Soundtrack Of Our Lives in Stockholm 1998, Nirvana at Ruisrock, Finland 1992, Los Banditos in Flensburg, Germany 1998, The Strollers in Stockholm 1998, Bambi Molesters in Zagreb 1999, Wayne Kramer in New York 1995, Little Richard in Helsinki 1997, Mudhoney in Helsinki 1992, The Hellacopters at Garageshock, Bellingham 1999, The 5678's at Wild Weekend, London 1998... and The Hypnomen in Stockholm 1999.

When I was in SF a couple of years ago, I went over his pad to trade some punk records (man does he know his shit), he answered the door in his underwear. Thinking it was kinda weird, he led me into his record room. I then heard another voice coming from the bathroom, and it turned out to be some broad that he just got through boffing. I kinda laughed to myself, cause I didn't know what was up. I did score some excellent punk rock though. ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 09:57:52 -0500 From: "Wojciechowski, Bob" Subject: RE: blues explosion put me in the 'i've never heard anything good by them, and stay the hell away from our beer backstage!' category . . . > . > __________________________________________________ > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 10:14:23 +0200 > From: pekka.laine@yle.fi > Subject: Re: Pussy Galore/Jon Spencer > > I can't be the only person on this who thinks Jon Spencer Blues Explosion > is one > of the best bands of the 90s. > Or am I?

A few years back I saw a new vinyl comp of Joe Tex's early stuff (e.g. "Davy You Upset My Home", "Cut It Out") on King Records (for $8). Does anyone know if it's still available? Thanks.

I have his Verve lp and non-lp Verve 45s (these are what are contained on that cd retrospective). He has a very gospel-y, soulful voice, and the songs and arrangements (many by Jerry Ragovoy) suit him well. A bit more uptown than what Stax was doing, but still very soulful. Fave titles include "Ain't Nobody Home" (recently covered by some newer artist, whose name escapes me), "Get It While You Can," and "Shoot 'Em All Down," among others. The cd, also called "Get It While You Can" (good advice!), is listed on CD now, so it is still available.

The original 60's bands/artists were: The Mark V, The Del-Rays, Hollis Dixon, The Keynotes, The Mystics, The New Breed, The Weejuns (heard these guys years ago!), Bobby Denton, Travis Wammack and Terry Woodford. 2 questions: Anyone heard this record?

Yeah, I got the attempts at humor, but the article: - misses a big controversy about "Windy" (it was based on a hippie in San Francisco who was always stoned, therefore he was known for "tripping" down the streets of the city) - neglected to mention that one of the members died from an overdose - drops almost entirely the very premise of the article (is this the same Gary from the Association?) I am no big fan of the Association, but if I was, this article would not have taught me much. Boooo. Brian Phillips ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 14:27:46 -0500 From: "B.

I just figured the guy wasn't attempting to teach anything to anyone (let alone a fan.) Really, I'm guessing this guy probably needed to turn in an article and this is what came to mind. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 13:28:41 -0800 From: Alyssa & Chris Subject: Re: Beer Hugh Mendoza wrote: > Hmmm, > There's a great bar in Williamsburg/Brooklyn on Bedford of which I dont know > the name. you're not talking about the sweetwater.......? Our pal lives on S 1st/Bedford Ave, and last visit (during Cavestomp)we played some pool there, listened to some good tunes, juke was in the back. Many garage tunes.....(didn't take a gander @ the juke, hence didn't notice any mod collections, pretty satisfied w/what was playing @ the time.......) I dug that area, even though it was seemingly a little "newly-gentrified-pseudo-hip". Still........had fun. Good polish place for breakfast. good luck, as I'm no help.... ~ALYSSA > We usually just call it the Container Bar because you can get a > sweet 32 oz Bud in a styrofoam cup for 3 bucks.

Bill is highly recommended for his fast service + fair prices, and he often has stuff you can't find elsewhere.

Get the legit Missing Links CD for more of the same (shameless plug). The Elois (who also appear on Maximium Freakbeat) are an Australian band too, and there's a fair bit of Euro stuff on it as well. I agree that Wimple Winch's 'Save My Soul' is one of the all-time greatest; the Aussie Lime Spiders did a wild version around '86 on Citadel records. - -Peter ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 22:30:16 -0500 From: Don Smith Subject: more pussy galore I sat on this email for a day and edited the political commentary out, you all should be at least a little happy. In one sentence? Neither Jello nor Donald Trump are serious candidates nor could either win because both are using the concept of presidential candidacy as a way of playing with media exposure, one for fun/political ideas the other for commerce branding which made Martha Stewart a billionaire. Also I first heard about Mumia in the late 80s, so you know, the publicity has picked up speed, but this all happened like 18 years ago. ok, someone mentioned that in the early 80s in Providence some band that played in the apt. next to them was pussy galore. Most likely that was Jon's first band Shithaus which he was in with, I believe, one of the principles in the noise rock band Cop Shoot Cop. I have the Shithaus cassette which was the soundtrack to a student film or something circa 84-85. I am not positive but I thought Pussy Galore was an idea in Providence but became a band when Julie and Jon moved to DC in like summer 1985. Where Neil lived I don't remember. Christina, Jon's wife, from Boss Hog lived in DC then and worked at Hagen Dasz 83/84-ish with Ian Mackaye and Henry Rollins, but I was too young to know all this at the time. They were resoundingly hated here because their lyrics were so harsh and their attitude so unlike DC. for me the thing is that people thought they were arty because they had no other frame of reference. If you were a critic who never heard the Keggs or the Green Fuzz, but you liked no wave bands, ehh... It's like the people who talk about VU as new wave but never seem to notice the rock roots which form a lot of their songs. I don't hear the sun ra references in people's stuff because I don't have that in my repetoire.
