It's a fictionalized account of Lennon and McCartney "meeting" at the Dakota in the late 70s. Based on the commercial they end up--of course--playing together at a piano and eventually donning costumes and skulking about/hamming it up in Central Park "in true Liverpuddlian madcap fashion"??!! It looks absolutely awful, so make sure you're watching/taping. I think it's on sometime in Feb. Aidan Quinn is playing McCartney and he looks decent--if the movie was set in the summer of '69. The guy playing Lennon, though, looks and sounds absurd. This one could go down as a classic bad flick.... My girl Amy and I were watching and grooving to "Out of Sight" last night and both of wondered how seriously teens of the mid-60s took such stuff. It's obviously not irony-laden like today; did teens go to such movies for real entertainment and laughs or to neck in the back row? Were they hip to how really bad and broad the (acting) performances were? It's wild to see a more-or-less tongue-in-cheek attempt at retro-chic that's actually the real thing! BTW the Astronauts were AWESOME. Great singer! I don't know much about them; figured before I saw the flick they were an instro group. Any details?

But the promo and the stock were both the same price, so I got the promo. Also, I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by promo copies ever since I started collecting records when I was a kid. The promo's probably worth a little more, but more importantly, I like how loud the 45's mixed. It explodes when you play it, just like all good 45s should, in my humble opinion. So, maybe a die-hard collector could explain it better than I could. I know why I bought the record. It's great at any price.

According to Don, "Out of Sight"this was the last thing he did with the Turtles. He loathed the pop direction the band was heading for and got into many a brawl with bandmembers over wanting to play rock n roll. He also said that their new drummer was on the set during the shooting of the scene.

Thanks for the question. I thought this was an excellent band, and it sold pretty well, but nobody in 60s circles has ever talked about them. Funny, because although they have the Spacemen 3 influence, their stronger influences range from the Monkees to 60s folk rock. Anyway, the story is that I was turned on to this UK band by Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3, whom they'd asked to produce them. He gave me all the demos, and I contacted the band suggesting we release the demos (which were perfectly okay) until they had something new to offer. Turned out the band had already broken up, but we put out the album (on CD & vinyl) anyway. It was one of the last Voxx releases, in 1993. Has anyone else out there heard it? I recommend it highly, especially if you share Patrick's tastes. And you should be able to get the vinyl from Bomp for $5 or maybe even less! Greg P.S.

Somehow I don't think it's the kind of thing a bride wants to hear on her wedding day, what with lyrics like, "My baby loves me, she knows I'm tryin' to be good... But if I mess up it's understood." I mean, sure, forgiveness is divine and all and she's just taken you for better or for worse, but my guess is that on your wedding day, you'd both like to believe that you're gonna be better, not worse. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 20:52:56 EST From: Rmerchandz@aol.com Subject: Re: Jimi and the Velvet Underground In a message dated 1/22/2000 11:45:21 PM, buzzby@intergate.bc.ca writes: << 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! >> I was making an open ended generalization. I said they "tend to appeal to the literate intelligentsia music crowd and critics". I didn't say "exclusively" or "only". Cliques and categories be damned.

REVEREND DAN. > > Hats (and antennas) off to Dave Insect for pulling off one of the best live show line ups of psychedelic surf and "push the envelope" instrumental music events, ever. Mr. T's was full to capacity and > overflowing with happy instrumental fans last night. First up was the NEPTUNAS with their garagey DIY party down ambiance - with on stage go-go > dancers Dave Arnson and Wally Ann bringing on visual overload. Pam is about to have her baby any day now and her inspired bass playing last night will no doubt insure that her new child is born ready to rock. Next was THE MYSTERIES with Jimmy Wilsey (responsible for the great guitar sound on Chris Isaak's early records) They have created a weave of dark, > moody and beautifully layered western psychedelic twang. Jimmy was all in black with a cowboy hat, satin cape lined in red and dark shades – and I believe he is a superhero after watching THE MYSTERIES play, as are the boy wonders in his band. This was the best I've ever seen them, which is > true of most of the bands at this show. These bands were somehow on another plane altogether – some synergy of the acid theme and the good > vibe of the crowd – there was an overflowing abundance of great music, all > around, and a lot of love in the room! SLACKTONE was next with some incredibly fast and intricate drumming from Dusty Watson moving it along > at a clip with dexterous guitarist Dave Wronski and bass player Mike Sullivan arriving at both trad and nouveau conclusions simultaneously within the same songs. SLACKTONE has a turbo-charged tough, tight musical style. 00 SPY CAR (double naught spy car) had the room in a collective jawdrop – which is saying a lot since the musicians in many of these bands are hands down the best anywhere playing anything. These guys went out on > a limb, then just created more limbs to climb out on, ad infinitum – their influences are all over the place, from like Ellington to Beefhart > and beyond- instrumental, jazzy, sometimes throw down rockin, with a lap steel that sounds like its from mars. They can spacejam, but Mike Tempo > (real name) on drums makes it a definite "back to earth" sound that rocks solid. Next up were INSECT SURFERS who always deliver a crowd pleasing > hook oriented dueling guitar surf sound both traditional at times and psychedelic other times. They opened with Horizon Rider a psychedelic > spaghetti western wonder tune that shows off the dueling guitars of Arnson and Sullivan. There are quite a few new songs, some with greek folk and > Mediterranean threads and ringing harmonics goin on. Insects get in some wild ride psychedelic jams. Dave was definitely the man of the hour for > putting this supercool show together – he had three screens of video and slides going – some sergeant peppers, some ultraman, some wahini surfers > having their way with the tubes – plenty of visual stimulation. Between bands, MC REVEREND DAN hosted a "Tournament Twister" competition with a > Huge twister board covering the dancefloor and a lot of twisted flesh vying for prizes Last up was THE REVENTLOS, another envelope pushing > instrumental/sometimes surf band whose influences are from metal to african folk and around the sonic globe in between. Greg Staples is an inventive, innovative and versatile player and as I hear tell he writes THE REVENTLOS songs as well. They looked tres elegant in their tuxedos as > they totally rocked out. Their song Western Stars is a beautiful weave of African folk and American twang. All their songs are really fun, > particularly the ones with "Reventlo" in the title. Congratulations again to Insect Dave for putting this night of great music together. There was a lot of information to absorb – similar to the enhanced psychedelic state - no ingestion even necessary – it was a total contact high and a really > good trip at that.

Despite Yeah despite the non-appearance of the Real Kids (something about a sick guitarist, said one club kid), Walter Lure and the Waldos rocked on any how. His new Waldos (new being a relative term) put on a fine show, doing some of Walters Heartbreakers chestnuts, the high points from the "rent Party" disc and a cover of Chinese Rocks, which he called on Joey Ramone for help on. The tall one had been in the house earlier, but had checked out by that point. Finally Walter & co wound up the night with a ripping cover of the Stones Last Time. Definitely worth the trip in the cold!!! best day of the 7 day weekend....Moparlary ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2000 #32 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
