There was/is a Chinese movie house a few doors down next to Mc Donald's. Don't remember what that used to be. Across Kneeland St. was The Music Hall. Loads of bands played there in the '70s. Now it's the Wang Center. I think the Savoy actually became The Boston Opera House, I may be wrong there. There was talk of resurrecting The Paramount about 5 years ago, but I think that fell by the wayside. The Orpheum, several blocks up Washington St. near Filene's, still hosts gigs.

Hello BOMP!ers. MJ Quirk assumed the position this week and we may not have had C & S this week without him as I slipped & fell on an ice patch and sprained both my left knee and ankle as wall as tearing a muscle in my shin trying to stay on my feet rather than putting my hand out and letting myself fall. I couldn't get out of my seat fast enough to pull records to accomodate requests. Anyhoo, enough of my pratfalls and on to the hard hitting subjects: Massachusetts auto insurance, jocks who sing/claim to know a lot about music (The Jim Schoenfeld LP, however, is great!), The Central Artery/Tunnel project and bullshit politicians spew about bringing jobs to their constituencies, and the folks who work at the FCC as well as the usual program plugs & music commentary.

I first found out about the Chevy Chase and Chameleon Church connection on a 1982-83 episode of Letterman where Chevy Chase ACTUALLY complained about the record label politics behind the creation of the Boss-Town sound (of which Chamleon Church, he seemed to think, got unfairly beat out by the Ultimate Spinach).

Anyway, I thought the song they were singing was I wanna Be Your Dog, anyway... not like a husker du b-side. but jeez, I may have just turned 16 when that show happened and went with coworkers of mine from the public library... I think that kid MAY have been involved with MetroZine, a pretty weak zine filled with 14-15 yr old teenage writing, including once, a mail interview I did with Jello Biafra when I was 16 I think. This is really non-Bompy, but it was sort of at that time, does nyone know how many singles Oh Ok (from Athens, GA) put out? I only have the one. I gotta go make breakfast.

Among the new comps, I also got "From The Kitchen To The Garage", a neat sampler of dutch beat/pop/punk/novelty female singers; "Project Blue vol.5" which is all US 60s punk (weak sound but pretty good selection); plus a cool sampler of President 45s sides on Tenth Planet (a must if you dig Rubble type of sound).

I have done several on-line searches with no results or the information points to The Lookout!/K Records "Slice of Lemon" compilation they appeared on. Shredder/American Pop Project (who has released Sunnychar singles) stated they would not do a domestic release. My local independent record store did not have any luck with their contacts. The only place I have seen the recording for sale on a semi-English web site is on Tower Records Japan site for international customers. Before I go through the hassles of converting dollars to yen, dealing with Tower, etc., I just wanted to check with the experts on the Bomp! list. After being impressed with the powerful Wildebeests at LVG, I finally picked up their "Go Wilde in the Countrye" album. Talk about a varied album of great garage. My favorite moment is their cover of "Suzi is a Headbanger" leading into the New England folk punk of "Bad Storm Coming." Also finally found "Treats and Treasures" by The Autumn Leaves (Grimsey Records) after reading positive reviews in such 'zines as Blair's "Teen Scene." This is a great modern (1998?)folk pop-rock release. They sound like the Feelies if they came from the West Coast "paisley underground" instead of New Jersey. Some nice Byrdsian harmonies stacked on jangling guitars for sunny mornings from this Minneapolis band. Finally, is there any plans for Jonny Chan & The New Dynasty Six to release their follow up anytime soon? From the postings, it appears they have been playing around the East Coast quite frequently. I'm still hoping they will be added to the impressive list of bands at LVG II along with the Cynics. Any information on the above inquires would be appreciated. >From the "desert-polis" of Phoenix, Ted L. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 15:12:36 EST From: Beats76@aol.com Subject: Re: Favourite Gigs Andrea, The old Savoy became the now-defunct Opera House on Washington Street...

Kendra-era Dream Syndicate, Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles, 1984... they were never so hypnotic and cool and when they had Miss Smith on bass, reigning in the self-indulgence that spoiled things when it became a boy's club... I remember leaning against a metal bar and feeling as well as hearing the guitars, smiling like a goon. ? and the Mysterians, Spaceland, Los Angeles, fairly recently... you all know the score on this one, but wow! how do they do it? Replacements, Mean Fiddler, London, 1987... a little late for these guys, and I saw better shows a few years earlier, but this is the only show I've ever attended where THREE of the band members barfed onstage. Bis, Troubador, Los Angeles, c. 1998... sugar-fueled Scottish pop-punk hysteria, back when they sounded a lot like the Rezillos.... frenzied and melodic, Manda Rin hopping at the keyboard until she almost lost her undies, and a room full of people getting happier by the minute. Dictators, San Francisco, 1991... free tickets my pal Chas got off the radio, calling maybe five minutes after they were announced -- no one else wanted em! "Maybe they're not the real Dictators?" But they were, and so much better than we had any right to expect. Special points for this one, because we hadn't thought it would be anything at all. Deniz Tek, Linda's Doll Hutt, Orange County, couple years back... Deniz has played a lot of great shows in SoCal in recent years, but this one stands out... tiny, cool club, packed to the walls with fans (his shows are usually poorly advertised and the clubs half-empty), no stage so people are standing to DT and the band, and they proceed to knock us all into another dimension... probably the perfect show.

(I went to all 5 shows and still hadn't heard enough!) Mace dedicated mailbox Jamboree to "his idol" Tom Jorgenson, and asked him to please not get mad! - At the end of the night, the Youth did Woolley Bully (sp?) with Billy Miller, Tom J, Gaylord, and a bunch of other folks on stage.

Last night I was talking to this guy who writes for the same newspaper that I do and he told me that last week he got to see & listen to a new record player that reads the record grooves like a CD player does (with a laser). Apparently it sounds as clear as a CD, but with the full sound of a record player, pretty neat, huh? Anyways, this thing stands in a cabinet about four feet tall. Most of the insides are shock absorbers to keep the record from moving during play. This guy, John, says that even if the record is scratched, the music still plays clear as a bell. I guess his uncle is one of the guys who designed it. I don't know if this thing is out for sale yet, but it'll cost about $56,000 dollars...I wish I had 56,000 extra dollars... - -Jason Mata __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 17:43:37 EST From: SHBEVLON1@aol.com Subject: Fwd: NEW REVIEW Return-path: SHBEVLON1@aol.com From: SHBEVLON1@aol.com Full-name: SHBEVLON1 Message-ID: Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 17:43:08 EST Subject: NEW REVIEW To: Timelessgods@aol.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 39 Compulsive Gamblers "Bluff City" LP (Sympathy For The Record Industry) While I am ashamed to admit that I have never heard any of the early stuff by these guys I now plan on it! This album is utter genius...it is records like this that make rocknroll sound like it was just born all over again! Mind you, this isn't rocknroll in the get down and party sense of the word though. The A side to this has some upbeat songs, but most of the album, including the entire B side, are dark and moody tales of lost love and hopelesness. The album is also refreshing because this is one of those bands you will definitely be able to tell apart from the pack...not another boring "garage-punk" album here! The sound is a combination of garage, country and I guess just straight up rocknroll. By the way, if you didn't know, Jack and Greg from the now defunct Oblivians make up 2/3 of this band. So get this one and "Gamblin Days Are Over"! (I still need to myself).

I only have the > one. They had the 'Wow!-Mini Album' 7" and the 'Furthermore What' 12". There is a stray track on a DB compilation, but you can live without that. That's it. There are plenty of bands with ex-Oh-Ok members, but the only one that's worth much is Matthew Sweet. Can anyone fill me in on Veronica Lake records? I've got a couple singles, I know that there has got to be more out there.

I was so >unhappy - I had been looking forward to seeing the band for so long. That *was* a rather... uh... interesting night. I seem to remember a couple of colorful local characters thinking this was the end-all be-all of rock'n'roll. Personally, I agree with Jahna's assessment. Anyone know if this was the show they played with Sator? (Those guys blew me away and I went out and bought one of their records soon after... the one with the fantastic "Pigvalley Beach" on it.) I remember Sator not getting much of a response at first and a belligerent Conolly coming out onstage and telling the audience to buy a clue. (Well, actually, he didn't put it quite that nicely.) (By the way... The Big Kahuna was an absolutely *GREAT* place while it lasted.) One horrible show for me was The Fleshtones Hallowe'en '88 gig at The Big Kahuna. As Mike Sin and I drove thru the Lincoln Tunnel into the Big Town, he said, "The great thing about seeing The Fleshtones is that it's never a bad show. They're always amazing." Well, that night... they weren't. For one thing, Gordon was M.I.A. (I yelled out - without thinking of the pun - "Hey Peter, where's Gordon?" He had no clue.) And the great Bill Milhizer could barely stay on his drum stool. 'Twas not Super Rock at all. Opening this show were what I've always called "The Vipers - Mark II." [This was Jon Weiss and Dave Mann with a couple new guys (one was named Anders, but I don't recall the rest). This was *not* a banner time in Vipers' history. Sorry, Jon... but it's true. Heck, *you're* the guy who said to me (at that place in Bethlehem, PA on the bill with The Original Sins and The Cynics only the week before), "These guys don't know garage like we do... I've been playing them The Sonics and stuff and they're learning." (Well, it was *close* to that.)] Anyway, The Vipers - Mark II didn't improve on this evening at the Big Kahuna. Mike and I then split for some Italian restaurant on West 14th where The Headless Horsemen were playing. (I'd blown them off 'cuz I knew they were playing the following weekend at The Bad Music Seminar with Thee Mighty Caesars and tons of others.) Definitely a bummer of a night. Worse yet, I think Mike and I decided to go down the block afterwards with Elan Portnoy, over to McCarthy's (the site of The Strip) for a late-night libation. (Well, not me, but them, anyway.) If I thought the place stank when they did shows, well... let's just say they must've cleaned like mad when there was gonna be rock'n'roll happening, 'cuz it was absolutely unbearable.
