I got my Shapes of Sound vinyl from Bomp and I've sent Suzy a heads-up on the new disc/album. So I hope Bomp will come through soon. Good luck and if ya track it down somewhere else, please lemme know. Rocky.

I guess just pasting the particular message and subject heading into a clean message to the list. On the subject of Lou Reed, not considering myself part of any "literate intelligentsia music crowd and critics" (although some people may argue that one) and being a Lou Reed and Velvets fan.... I mean I guess your wrong! To recycle this thread in a more obscure Lou vein how about the Beachnuts Cycle Annie for some really stupid/juvenile Lou... But you could argue that the wide open sort of songs that Lou did were glorifying/advocating (??) really stupid subjects like getting your ass whipped and shooting heroin. The Lester and Lou interviews really have to be read to be believed. It is amazing that two supposedly well educated and respected guys could come across like that. I do think though that Lester played into Lou's wierdo game to some degree. Again more proof that a dufus like that could hardly appeal to any supposed "literate intelligentsia music crowd and critics"!!!!! "it's my wife and it's my life" indeed! When my shcizophrenic sister heard that line years ago she couldn't think of a funnier lyric... On an ending note, I think Lou wrote some of the smartest, and most beautiful rock and roll songs of all time, but he was definitely not against flaunting his unchecked stupidity. I mean, I was able to sell a copy of Metal Machine Music that I had picked up for $3 canadian to someone for $45 can, what kind of supposedly intelligent music fan would fork out that coin for 4 sides (64 minutes) of feedback scrawl?

How bout the flip to "Open Up Your Door", it's called "Once Upon Your Smile", I like that song, eventhough it's a ballad. - -Jason __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 22:37:43 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: kopper---kdhx jeff---tried to tune in tonight---could not connect---is there a problem at your station---frank ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 22:47:36 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: Re: Small Stone, Beachwood Sparks ok---i gotta ask---is small stone from little rock? - -----Original Message----- From: Rocky Serkowney To: bomp@xnet2.com Date: Saturday, January 22, 2000 7:18 PM Subject: Re: Small Stone, Beachwood Sparks > >At 06:19 PM 1/22/00 -0800, Greg wrote: >>with The Embrooks and The Greenehornes, but that's another story....) > >Hooray!

Tony ------------------------------ Date: 23 Jan 2000 03:35:17 -0500 From: "Blair" Subject: Saturday Night's Alright... Despite My original plan for the night was to stop at Nightingales first, see whoever I could, then go to the Continental to see The Real Kids and The Waldos. (Yeah, I was willing to miss The Rattlers - they never excited me all that much.) First, tho', I'd check in at Continental to see what time The Real Kids were slated to go on. I figured I'd try and find a parking spot by Continental, so I wouldn't have to walk too far to my car after the show. And I got a good one. Well, I'd been having a feeling for about a week or so that The Real Kids were gonna cancel. Sure enough, I got to the door and didn't see their name on the white board. I asked the guy at the door... Sure enough, I'd guessed right. So, rather than give up my spot and search for another half hour, taking the chance of ending up even further away, I left well enough alone and walked up to Nightingales. The Push Ponies (with Thee Great Scott Dense on drums) were rockin' out when I got there. Damn good, and Luke from the Heartdrops plays bass and sings. The Easy Livin' were next up, doing their thing to fine effect. One pal of mine walked in on their encore and didn't like 'em, but personally I thought they rocked it up in a noisy Cramps-style. Third on the card were the group many had come to see, John Henry. Ostensibly a one-off, this group featured ex-Raunch Hands' singer Michael Chandler (vocals/harp/kazoo), Mitro Valsamis (ex-Vacant Lot, Trick Babys, Bowery Rhythm Kings, and currently in The Cash Registers) on guitar, Mike Zadroga (ex-Vacant Lot, plus one or two Boston bands I can't remember right now) on drums, and... well, a guy I didn't know on bass. (Seth something, I think his name was.) Their set was pure covers - mainly R&B - but lotsa fun. Stuff like "She Said Yeah," "I'm A Hog For You," "Please Give Me Something," "I'm Gona Be A Wheel," etc. Last up were The Dark Marbles, playing to a house that was just about clear. After about an hour or so, tho', I realized I was pretty damn tired and said goodnight myself. (Sorry guys... But I've gotta go out to look for a new place to live in the AM.) Also tonight... Watched Xena: Warrior Princess. They had a Battle Of The Bands. Yeah, the whole thing was done up like a musical, but the Battle was... Well, it had a battle! The first band up was led by an evil warlord who's under a spell that put him in love with Gabrielle. She's rejected him so he decides she's gonna die. He puts her in a cage (in a nice go-go outfit) while he gets up there with his band, decked out in black leather, looking pure heavy metal kitsch. And he says they're gonna "Kick Out The Jams!" Eventually, Gabrielle gets free and stage dives, then body-surfs her way across the crowd. Warlord guy tries to dive as well, but the crowd parts like the Red Sea and he goes OOF. Then a fight ensues with him vs. Xena. To quote The Smugglers, "Rock And Roll Was Never This Fun."
