Listees: It's a full moon. And there's this full bottle of Jack here. Gonna see about draining both. Everybody's talkin' bout this and that. THIS local scene. THAT local scene. And so on. A whole buncha years ago, you don't wanna KNOW how long ago, i put together (as sort of a joke, but it's really not one when you hear it) an, um, sort of, uh...Buffalo version of "Nuggets" (?). Many have tried, but this boy succeeded in a 90 minute compilation of the rarest and best rockabilly and garage punkers from Western New York. It ain't state of the art. It's NOT on cd, dammit. It's NOT coming to a theatre near you soon. It's NOT on pay-per-view. It's raw like sushi, but it's yummy. From the original singles. Mr. Bernard Kugel claims this jamoke and that jamoke (yawn...) is gonna CeeDeeArrDoubleYou some incredibly bombastic 2 or 4 cd set (as IF, weren't THAT much of interest from there unless you're trying to historic-ize your OWN agenda, like you're part of the "rock's rich tapestry NME theory", yeah right.....). Whatever. What this puppy does is rock. From the Hound Dog's theme to rockabilly i discovered from Hamburg (a beef-like suburb of Buffalo) to cabaret groups that accidently made a good record in their salad days. But i'm willing to make copies for the Tony's and the Mikes's and the "you"'s whoze is innnerested. Now, it ain't about the scratch. You CAN send $10 for it. Nah. $15 (w/shipping). Enough for a pizza. Or better yet.... There's so much shit i don't have (and i gottalot, k?). So i'm willing to TRADE you for a cd or an album or a box set i don't have. What i want is...fuck, i dunno....60's garage comp's, UK freakbeat comp's, Rhino shit i don't have, Sundazed shit i don't have, Bear Family shit i don't have, Kent shit i don't have, Line shit i don't have, Soul Supply/Goldmine shit i don't have, ANY of the "Teenage Shutdown"s, cuz i ain't got none. What i ain't got. Most of you who ARCHIVE eventually dispose of the SOURCE MATERIAL. The same way i do. So i figure like this: we've ALL got compilations on vinyl or cd that we don't need anymore. Lemme give you an example or two: i've recently traded for the Cowabunga box set on Rhino, the Nuggets box set on Rhino, the Brownsville Station anthology on Rhino (FROM Gary Stewart, cool or what!, but that was the 1974 RockCritics Symposium tape), a Slim Gaillard box set on Charly, a package of "go-go" vintage mid-80's Washington mixtapes. Y'know. Stuff like that. You ALL have a pile of stuff to trade for a tape full of 60's rarities you'll never hear otherwise. Send your list. Or send pizza money. Either/or. I think that's fair. I WORKED to get this compilation together, piece by piece, scratchy single by scratchy single. All YOU gotta do is trade for some prepackaged thing you bought. What I'll get is up to you. What YOU will get is (christ, do i sound like an infomercial or what!): Wilmer and the Dukes: Give Me One More Chance Rockin' Rebels: Wild Weekend Fendermen: Fas Nacht Kuechel (don't ask me Why the label says "7th St., Buffalo NY". All i know is it refers to a Polish fried dough thing that's good. And it's them. And it rocks.) Invictas: Do the Hump (Rochester one chord punker) Druids: Doctor Friend Tweeds: A Thing of the Past Road: She's Not There Cozy Eggleston: Big Heavy (the sound of the Hound being around) Bill Lehman & the Rock-Itts: Take It Easy Greasy (Hamburg, NY rockabilly. great guitar solo!) Wild Weeds: No Good to Cry (yah yah, pre-NRBQ, but big with the "Ford Plant guys on lunch break" jukeboxes. SO much so we thought it was a local group.) Rogues: Secondary Man Joey & Danny: Rats in My Room (the then-big figures of WKBW, 50 THOUSAND watts of power) Junior Shank and the Jesters: Be Bop A Lula Wilmer and the Dukes: I'm Free (Stones done soulfully) Wilmer and the Dukes: I Do Love You (Billy Stewart done reverentially) Rockin' Rebels: Donkey Twine ("do the donkey? It's Twine-time. I dunno. Put it together!") Fenderman: Mule Skinner Blues (yah, yah, Minnesota affected Buffalo. Big jukebox hit.) Druids: She's Got a Secret Tweeds: What's Your Name Mellow Brick Road: Eggs in One Basket (The Road made a good record? On UA? Jeepers!) Rockin' Rebels: Rockin' Crickets Rockin' Rebels: Hully Gully Rock Bill Lehman & the Rock-Itts: Rock Around the Horn Rogues: Say You Love Me Joey & Danny: Rats in My Room Part 2 (all the bad rhymes that couldn't fit on Part One) Razor's Edge: Baby's On His Way Rogues: You Better Look Now - ---------------------------- Ok. Ok. So i'm missing "Kites Are Fun" (Free Design), which is 1969-ephemeral and pretty much banal ANYway. Or the BEST "Free"-ripoff EVER ("Stick Around" by Black Sheep...on a different tape). But it'll be fun to find out just WHO wants to get deep. There ain't one damn stiff in the batch. A label could put it on cd and i'll write the liner notes. But oh! there's that 74 minute restriction. Bummer. :-P 90 minutes of completely ignored nuggets. I'll trade ya. Whatcha got? You can write me offline at: apollojams@netscape.net Tho your comments ONline might be fun. Maybe i'll learn something about these great records. I have limited knowledge to share about some of these groups (saw some of em). I own Swedish bootlegs compiled by guys named "Per" who BLOW MY MIND regarding minutae about Tommy Shannon and George Lorenz .. How do you guys KNOW this shit? Damn.

What interests me >is that the Eastman's of Eastman-Kodak are also from Salem. That happens to >be Linda McCartney's family, or so I'm told. Possible connection to the Fab >Four??? Now THAT would be something! apparently this story is aporcryphal and Linda Eastman, though a photographer, came from a line of entertainment lawyers. But aain, perhaps there's some great-grandfather she shares with the Kodak people. It's worth noting that Paul McCartney sold the rights to the buddy holly song he owned, It's So Easy, to be used in an Eastman Kodak commercial (also sold Rave On) nd then had the nerve to say he was mad his own songs got used in commercials! When that commercial came out- that's when the Linda Eastman rumor got started for me. of course she was a minor photog in the 1960s herself. Paul of course, sells songs he owns in commerciasl religiously (he's a rich man from something ya know) and I read in some yoko ono fan newsletter a list of like a dozen or so commercials that McCartney provided the music for from his collection of other artists' writings.

I finally got on the MP3 bandwagon this week. What prompted me was was my Tulsa, Oklahoma buddy Ken Berryman revamped his website www.surfrock.n et. In addition to the name change, Ken has a 24 hour streaming MP3 feed through Live365.com called "www.Surfrock.net". After the headache of figuring out how the damn thing worked, I got online and heard the most amazing batch o' surf music ever amassed in one listening. A few days later, I'm finding that I can't stop listening to it! Also, when you're rummaging through Live365.com, check out other surf and garage streams available... like The Record Geek, Double Crown Records, Apeshit Radio... you won't be sorry. I even found a stream of non-stop Cheech & Chong comedy recordings, Beatles, and other eclectic, obscuro streams. Despite, all the hype you've heard about about MP3s, this site actually delivers! Especially with free demo plugins. THIS SHOW DEDICATED TO SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS AND CHARLES SCHULTZ Remember late night surfers, listen to Rusty Bumpers' STATIC FROM THE ATTIC...late night Saturday nights (early Sunday) 3-6 am (0900-1200 GMT). The radio show that blends psychedelia, punk, trash, surf, classic rock and anything else we can find.

Rick: Ha~! Heard that. I dunno WHERE i pulled that from last night. I mean, yes, most certainly from my NME addiction from 1977-1983 (ish). I liked the immediacy of a weekly newspaper, and found it as essential a read as a stockbroker needs the Wall St. Journal. They had a great stable of writers, needless to say, and as "infuriating" as they could be, i LIKE "smartass" rockwriting. Some of the funniest record reviews this side of Mark Shipper's column in the old "Phonograph Record Magazine" or Lester Bangs' stuff in the "good period" of "Creem" magazine. By the way, i'm gonna go over/revise that "Western New York" nuggets post from last night adding label and year info (as best as i know). I was hip deep in a 3 cd set of obscure British Beat anthologies that PRT (japanese) put out a while back, and dazzled/distracted with looking up all THAT stuff, i couldn't deal with the brain overload of minutae from two different scenes at once. live from the Kremlin Kasino wit Lester Lenin in the parking lot, - -g http://apollojams.com - ---------------------------------------- Rick McCullough wrote: > > apollojams wrote: > > > the "rock's rich tapestry NME theory", > > Though the NME in the early 80s constantly infuriated me, I always got a chuckle at that > oft-used three-word kissoff, usually set in initial caps, that took its cue from a Creem-like > disdain for the high-holy gloss that Rolling Stone and others had allowed to weight down its > rock writing.

Bomperellas: Back in the early 80's i put together (just for kicks, but it came out pretty damn good) an, um, sort of, uh...Buffalo version of "Nuggets" (?). A 90 minute compilation of the rarest and best rockabilly and garage punkers and psyche rockers and soul stompers from Western New York. It ain't state of the art. The original old singles on a TDK. It's NOT on cd, dammit. It's raw like sushi, but it's yummy. Bernie Kugel claims this jamoke and that jamoke is gonna CeeDeeArrDoubleYou some incredibly bombastic 2 or 4 cd set (as IF!... weren't THAT much of interest from there unless you're trying to historic-ize your OWN agenda, like you're part of the "rock's rich tapestry NME theory", tho i suppose if ya' took it up into the 70's and early 80's, it would fill up a few cd's). Whatever. I think the real "nuggets" of any locale are the records from the 50's and 60's. What this puppy does is rock. From the Hound Dog's theme to rockabilly i discovered from Hamburg (a beef-like suburb of Buffalo) to cabaret groups that accidently made a good record in their salad days to actual 60's fuzzrockers that could stand nose to nose with anything on recent compilations. I'm willing to make copies for the Tony's and the Mikes's and the "you"'s whoze is innnerested. Now, i'd RATHER trade for it cuz it ain't about the scratch. If it's more convenient and less work to buy one, you CAN send $10 for it. Call it $13 (w/shipping). Enough for a pizza. Or better yet.... Although i got a LOT of stuff, each time a Bomper references a cool collection of "this or that", i think "damn...i'd like that even tho it's gonna end up on the mountain of stuff i may not get to for who-knows-how-long". So i'm willing to TRADE for a cd or an album or a collection i don't have. 60's garage comp's (ie. the "Teenage Shutdowns", since i don't own any of them yet), UK freakbeat comp's (i'm totally jones-in' for more rare UK 60's stuff since i've been in that mode lately), stuff i don't have on labels like Rhino, Sundazed, Bacchus, Bomp, Bear Family, Kent/Ace, Charly, Line, Soul Supply/Goldmine (UK), Crypt, Get Hip and many other labels too numerous to mention. You get the idea. I get the impression that most of you KEEP everything you buy, but I know some of you who ARCHIVE eventually dispose of the SOURCE MATERIAL. The same way i do (pull the tracks you want off of it and trade it off for something else). So i figure maybe: we've ALL got compilations that we don't need anymore. Lemme give you an example or two: as a result of recent trading, i've scored the Cowabunga surf box set on Rhino, the Nuggets box set, the Brownsville Station anthology, a Slim Gaillard box set on Charly, a package of vintage mid-80's "go-go" Washington mixtapes. And so on. So let's trade, or send pizza money. What I'll get is up to you. What YOU will get is (christ, do i sound like an infomercial or what!): - - Wilmer and the Dukes: Give Me One More Chance (Aphro-Disiac 260, 7/68. One of the greatest unsung soul nuggets ever!) - - Rockin' Rebels: Wild Weekend (MarLee 0094, 1/60) - - Fendermen: Fas Nacht Kuechel (don't ask me Why the label says "7th St., Buffalo NY".

Everyone thought it was a local group.) - - Rogues (formerly "the London Fogs"): Secondary Man (Thunderbird 507, '65 or '66) - - Joey & Danny: Rats in My Room (Swan 4147, 7/63, DJ's Joey Reynolds and Danny Neavereth (sp.?) were the then-big figures of WKBW, "50 THOUSAND watts of power!") - - Junior Shank and the Jesters: Be Bop A Lula (Madison 127. Sketchy, this, since there WAS a local group called the Jesters who did "Hully Gully Rock" on Swan. Included, just in case.) - - Wilmer and the Dukes: I'm Free (Aphro-Disiac 261, Stones done soulfully) - - Wilmer and the Dukes: I Do Love You (from Aprhro-Disiac LP 6001, their first self-titled album. Billy Stewart done reverentially) - - Rockin' Rebels: Donkey Twine (Swan 4125, 12/62) - - Fenderman: Mule Skinner Blues (yah, yah, Minnesota affected Buffalo. Big jukebox hit. The locals thought it WAS a local group) - - Druids: She's Got a Secret (b-side of the above mentioned "Dr. Friend") - - Tweeds: What's Your Name (b-side of the above mentioned "A Thing of the Past") - - Mellow Brick Road: Eggs in One Basket (UA 50333, dunno year, pre-"The Road", quite good!) - - Rockin' Rebels: Rockin' Crickets (ShanTodd 0056, 3/59) - - Rockin' Rebels: Hully Gully Rock (Swan 4140, 5/63) - - Bill Lehman & the Rock-Itts: Rock Around the Horn (Prime 315 b-side) - - Rogues: Say You Love Me (see above for info) - - Joey & Danny: Rats in My Room Part 2 (all the bad rhymes that couldn't fit on Part One) - - Razor's Edge: Baby's On His Way (Pow! 105, label sez: "distributed by Masters Releasing Inc., Buffalo, NY) - - Rogues: You Better Look Now (Audition 6110, it popped up on Moxie EP 104) - ---------------------------- Stuff that SHOULD be on this, but i've never tracked them down: Bill Lehman and the Penn-Men: First Sign of Love/ Audrey (Arp 14, and making me think maybe these cats were from Pennsylvania, now Western New York) Joey and Danny: Underwater Surfers/ I Got Rid of the Rats (Swan 4157, late '63) The Buddies (not the surf group, this was a Buffalo studio group): Pulsebeat/ The Beatle (Swan 4170, 1/64) The Buddies: On the Go/ Only My Friend (Swing 102, 10/64) The Tempests: Rockin' Rochester (Lifetime 1010, '60. I've recently scored this on "Desperate Rock & Roll, V. 1".) Malcolm and the Young Brothers (who i don't know a THING about, btw) The Fugitives (dunno if they even HAD records out) The Tigermen: Close That Door (Buff label #?, '65. I've got it now c/o "Back from the Grave V. 5".). Also "Tiger Girl" and "Runaway" from this group, which remain elusive. Later stuff by the Invictas on Jack Bee 1003 ("Gone So Long"/"Nellie") and 20th Century 493 ("Breakout"/"Missing"). Later stuff by the Rogues on Bing and Columbia, tho i'm told it's not the same group. The Druids: apparently there's another Druids from San Jose, but they sound remarkably similar. Maybe they moved? The Tweeds: I Want Her to Know/We Got Time (Coral 62551), Walk in the Black Forest/3:00 in the Morning (Cameo 367) Razor's Edge: Let's Call it a Day Girl (Pow 101, 7/66, this actually charted BB pop) The Twigs: Moon Maiden/Flowers & Beads (SSS Intl 800, a BIG oversight that i don't have this, as i heard it was pretty smokin', albeit released late in the game, maybe '69?) AND Down the Road Apiece/I Need Your Love Babe (Dot 16830, maybe not same group?) Free Design: Kites Are Fun (i think this is later, wispy "Spanky & Our Gang" sugarpop, but it might be corny/fun enough to include). The Heard: Laugh with the Wind/Stop It Baby (Audition 6107, Rochester group, i hear tell the b-side is great!) The Charles: Motorcycle/Down by the Riverside (Calliope 138, i heard it, it was lousy) Later stuff ie. Raven (never did much for me, including them just to stay objective) and Black Sheep (a Rochester band who did the BEST "Free" soundalike record ever, "Stick Around" on Chrysalis). The Portable People, the Vibratos (a coupla groups i know nothing about, except the former were a Rochester band, and the latter had session drummer Gary Mallaber) - ---------------------------- You can write me offline at: apollojams@netscape.net, if you want to trade or whatever. Tho your comments ONline might be fun. Maybe i'll learn something about these great records. I have limited knowledge to share about some of these groups (saw some of em). I own Swedish bootlegs compiled by guys named "Per" who BLOW MY MIND regarding minutae about Tommy Shannon and Phil Todaro (with their stable of labels, ShanTodd, PhiTom, MarLee, and Stork) How do these guys KNOW this shit? Damn.
