What made me lock in at the tail end of that blurb is that they had specified "Alternative Music" which I interpreted to be a catch-all phrase used by the newsreader for R & R out of the mainstream. The FCC's goal is to create more diversity on the dial. Unfortunately, we aren't like the U.K. with all of those organized not-for-profit musical preservation societies & clubs that would qualify for these low power licenses in a heartbeat and make radio generally more interesting. >I bet the churches grab > up all the licenses before anyone else gets a chance.

For example, here in DC, the Mount Pleasant Broadcasting club http://www.mtpleasantbroadcasting.org/ has been working to put together a proposal for a community-based station with lots of news and community programming (broadcasting local community meetings and the like) along with latino music shows (for the large latino contingent in the neighborhood) and hip hop and alternative rock shows (for the large indie rocker population in the neighborhood). We've heard that there is room for three low power licenses in DC, so we're going to take a chance and put in an application. Becoming a non-profit org. is not that costly, really. It's a pain in the ass to go through the application, but once you do, you can apply for all kinds of grants. And if you've got a Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts organization near you (and if you don't know, email me and I'll get you the contact person nearest you) they can probably provide you with a free lawyer to help you through the process. The Low Power Radio Coalition http://www.lowpowerradio.org/ is planning to put together seminars and/or a workbook for how to apply for the licenses. Contact them for more information. Yes, the religious orgs are going to be lining up around the block to apply for the stations, but the FCC's stated purpose is to encourage diversity on the airwaves, so if they've got options, they will probably try to avoid giving all the licenses to religious broadcasters. But the FCC can only give licenses to people that apply for them. It's a great opportunity to get unheard voices on the air. I frankly did not think this had a chance of passing, but the FCC is obviously rather passionate about it, given that they went against the wishes of the mega-money National Assn of Broadcasters. If you've got an inkling that there may be room for a low power station in your area, go out and put one together! You'll never have such a great opportunity again. Can I hear an Amen? Thank you very much.

It's on Hen's Teeth Vol.1 CD which is a re-ish of vinyl comps 'Psychedelia' Vols 1 & 2 - the track was on the vinyl Vol.2. Re MICHAEL BROWN: here's an extract from the Fuzz,Acid & Flowers entry for Left Banke (online at www.delerium.co.uk, 'Archives' section) which gives some details on the reissues & reformed group releases: "Brown went on to form Montage in 1969, which was really another vehicle for his songwriting and production skills and later he formed Stories (in 1972) and The Beckies (in 1976). More recently, circa 1998, he was responsible for producing / engineering / songwriting and providing keyboards on Yvonne Vitale's On This Moment CD. Sadly, the album, on the aptly named "Endangered" record label, was quickly withdrawn and less than 200 copies are thought to have survived. " Tony The Tyger Presents FUZZ, FLAYKES & SHAKES: Recently picked up Vols 1 & 2 - and they're G-R-R-R-EAT. Anyone into Pebbles/Highs In The Mid-60s etc. should get these without delay.

Subject: Re: reed/cale Reed may have been a pioneer but he's such an asshole and takes himself so seriously as an "artist" it's almost too painful to listen to VU recs in the context of the time they came out in. lemmy from motorhead once dissed some band, "they were influenced by lou reed, and NOTHING good can come from that." another of my favorites was when lou reed the "serious artist" gave spoken word readings of VU songs at some college and got standing ovations. and have you heard that songs for drella crap? awful! but my fave lou reed story was related by a friend of a friend who worked in a NYC rec store and worshipped reed. he had some rare reed rec behind the counter and reed walked in. so he got all excited and asked him to sign the rec and reed gave him a bunch of attitude. then while reed was in the store he changed his mind, approached the guy and told him he'd sign the rec, and at that point the guy was so miffed he told him to go fuck himself. very funny. john cale question: what surf/hot rod recs did he play on? i'm just curious. beginning to see the light, joe - --------------- Anyhoo, this entire album it fan-fucking tastic and in '91 we heard Lou Reed give a spoken word performance in SF, and his lyrics ARE poetry.

Anyway, here's some suggestions, did you ever rent from Video Americain? They have the best selection probably. See if you can get "Highway Patrolman" directed by Alex Cox, the genius who brought us my favorite movie "Repo Man". Highway Patrolman or "El Patrullero" was filmed in Mexico in Spanish (I trust subtitles will be okay for you in pre-twin birth mode) and follows a young man from graduation from the academy to his life as a highway patrolman. Brilliant. For a psychedelic, mind blowing film experience check out Alexandro Jodorowsky's "Holy Mountain". Or his psychedelic western which was also the first midnight movie, "El Topo". And speaking of westerns I recommend Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man". A little closer to the mainstream but still off beat and good for at least a few laughs is "Flirting With Disaster" starring Ben Stiller and Patricia Arquette, directed by David O'Russel who's first feature was a very good but much darker film "Spanking The Monkey" and his latest "Three Kings" is perhaps still in theatres now. I'll think of more soon but in closing, since there's already been mention of film noir see if you can't find "The Big Combo". - -Squeaky ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 10:44:31 EST From: Cavestomp@aol.com Subject: Re: Pssst!

Five of those played last year, & I've been noticing a trend over the past 5 yrs at SXSW to do this, booking faves to guarantee sell-outs................ some bands, (good ex: Man or Astroman?) are HUGE sellouts at larger venues. The Chubbies have a good following as well. As far as The Bulemics, if you live in Austin, you can see them anytime, same for Sugar Shack, they come up from Houston, Nomads are fine, saw their show w/The Hellacopters not long ago. Emo's always does well w/the Man's Ruin and Estrus showcases............... I like to pick SXSW showcase bands based on the fact the I DON"T see them often! Have fun. > > Already to me that's a great line-up, but I'm sure there's a lot more. Also, > how much are wristbands this year, and are they even worth it? Risky! (and not worth it)We always get registration badges, less hassle and you can go to all the panels, label parties and soak up as much swag as you can handle. PLUS, you get first entry at every venue, no matter how long the line. A wristband only gets you in if the badge people have left any room. I know last year badges were $65, (I think), but I would bet the prisce escalates each week. > Please post if you hear anything, I'm planning ahead this year instead of > trying to > sneak into every club at the last second like last year!! > > Retardo D. I do get free Platinum Lounge tix, if you'd like one, email me sometime before March 10(we do film and interactive as well) later! ~ALYSSA ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 10:25:36 -0800 (PST) From: brian marshall Subject: Re: NEW REVIEW Uh, that's actually "Suck and Bloat." It's a good album, but "Back from the Pink Room" (their first) is even better.

You should expect to pay anywhere from $15.00 to $35.00 for it on EBay. It is Michael Brown to the fullest though. The tracks sound like Left Banke out takes or b sides. None of them equal "Pretty Ballerina" or "She May Call You Up Tonight," but still worth a listen. Easier to find, and very good, is the soundtrack to UltraViolet with two collaborative songs between Steve Martin (the original LB singer) & Michael Brown + 2 Montage songs. That should be under $20.00. Baskerville Rob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 12:25:42 -0800 From: Alyssa & Christofer Subject: Re: velvet underground...

Rock would be my word for it. Other Nordics, help out. Leather and denim is very likely to be seen in the audience.
