The first 3 LP's are solid stuff, and they did some great stuff on their later LP's, they just weren't I felt as solid and consistent as they were on the first 3 LP's, tho' after Spectres they really seem to lose it. I saw them a number of times in their early days, and my fave show was on the " Tyranny and Mutation " tour, where they played the Trinity College Field House. It was a hellish brick walled place with a dirt floor but BOC were just killer that nite. Closest they ever came to sounding like the live promo ep that Columbia sent out to radio stations titled " Bootleg EP " . In an interesting aside to BOC, and for the other Clearlight fans on the list, I came across an article/ review in an old issue of Crawdaddy the other day on Clearlight ( while digging for some artwork/pics on the Kinks ) written by Alan Lanier, done apparently before he joined BOC. Also in the article / review is a bit where the editor ( Paul Williams )interjects that reader's should check out the Soft White Underbelly's version of " Street Singer " soon. Also Sandy Perlman and Richard Meltzer were both staff members at Crawdaddy back then. Hey Rhino Handmade, now that you're doing so much work with Elektra, how 'bout a 2 CD box set of the Soft White Underbelly and Stalk Forest Group LP's ??? maureen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 05:43:24 EST From: Moreen5000@aol.com Subject: Re: REO errorwagon?

(Glad I didn't misattribute Bloodrock's DOA to 'em, too!). Lenny >> Ahhh Bloodrock !!! I still like the first 2 LP's, don't listen to 'em every day of the week but lotsa good fun when one is in the mood fer 70's heavy rock . Particulary the first, except for that boring " Fantastic Piece of Architecture " song, yeesh what a snooze fest . Whenever I'm out in the car with my friends ( who'd rather listen to Celine Dion and club music ) I like to shake 'em up every now and then by slipping on something like Raw Power, the first Montrose LP, Introducing The Sonics or some other suitable chunk a sound . Anyway this New Years Eve ( actually morning after ) we were driving home, me as usual at the wheel, and after a nite of club tunes, divas, and boy band music I couldnt take it anymore. So in an attempt to soothe my already hungover, tired and crippled with intense headaches, friends, who wanted to rest and hear more Celine Dion ( what could possibly be worse, except maybe Alanis Morrisette ) , I popped in the CD of the first Bloodrock LP, zipped it up to " Melvin Laid an Egg " and watched their heads explode as the stereo panning of distorted Marshalls riffing full out on10, drums thudding mercilously and Hammond organ shrieks came crushing outta the speakers. It was beautiful .... good times ... maureen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 12:33:59 +0100 From: "SJ Bink" Subject: Dutch Bompers (all two of you) Don't forget: Ronnie &splinters this tue. at the Winston (amsterdam) Bink ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 07:12:25 EST From: Moreen5000@aol.com Subject: What'd You Buy Yerself fer Christmas This Year ???

I'm a big Neil Young fan from way back. In my teens and early 20s, I played tons of Neil Young songs on my acoustic guitar. I picked up his style of playing - what I used to call "bang and pick". My fingers used to bleed but I had a blast. And the man can write some lyrics. I agree that Sedan Delivery is a great tune. I could do without "My My, Hey Hey" and much of the Harvest and After the Goldrush stuff I used to get into, but songs like "Ambulance Blues" and "Tonight's the Night" are long-lasting faves. Re*ac*tor is good too, and I even llike some of the Trans stuff. Even cheesy albums like Everybody's Rockin' has some funny stuff, like "Payola Blues" (wasn't there a video for this?) I think his last decent album was Freedom. As for Harvest Moon, blech. Speaking of Trans, I saw Neil on the Trans tour in Baltimore. The first part of the show, he played solo acoustic guitar and harmonica and did all the Harvestclassics. The crowd ate it up. The second half, he came out doing his electronic Trans material. Bad Neil. I thought he was hilarious, but I must have been the only one, because people were *pissed*. People started throwing those fold-up metal chairs at the stage.

It seems 100,000 people were polled about the very subject we've been discussing lately. Their choices included tracks by Elton John, Celine Dion, and The Spice Girls. So, I wonder, what will be the result of this poll's findings? The result ran on TV over here last night. The top 5 most hated were: 1 Spice Girls - Wannabe 2 Celine Dion - my heart will go on 3 Elton John -candle in the wind 4 Chris de Burgh - lady in red 5 Britney Spears - baby one more time Which is a pretty scary list. The poll ran alongside one to find the 100 'greatest' number 1s of all time. Only UK no 1s qualified (which excluded quite a lot - the Who, the Sex Pistols), and voting was only from a shortlist determined by some commitee, and I believe the shortlist was only of something like 106 singles. So Imagine by John Lennon is now 'officially' the greatest ever single. You Really Got Me was 18, and the Clash were 41, but with Should I Stay or Should I Go, which was their only UK no 1 thanks to a Levis commercial a few years back. (I reckon Norton should release Great Big Kiss from Hard Night's Day by the Dolls as a single over here - It's been used in a chewing gum commercial for some time now). ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 11:33:13 -0500 (EST) From: yeeyeemgt@webtv.net (Michael Quirk) Subject: Re: Pat Benatar Her first three albums were actually pretty good.

She actually covered "No You Don't, a Chinn/Chapman song that was previously covered by the Sweet (and Kenne Highland Clan w/Gumdrops on Runt of the Litter Volume 5 - Go buy one when it comes out so I can send someones kid to camp). I think there was more Chinn/Chapman stuff as well. You Better Run was a 60's garage type song (The Rascals, I think). Get Nervous wasn't too bad, but classic rock started taking a bad freefall (at least for me)m after the summer of 1981 when synthesizers started getting used very badly. At least early disco, people played their own instruments.

Not. Moreen makes her FIRST EVER factual error!!! << As for Pete Fornatale, he's your cousin ??? I remember listening to him way back . I had a HUGE antenna and signal amplifer hooked up so I could hear WNEW and WBCN way way back when FM rock radio was worth listening to. Also a few years ago.......I used to like to listen to a show he did where he played some interesting and different stuff and actually read from books he thought were kool and interesting as well, a kinda modern alternative folk music and " poetry/ book reading - coffeehouse " sort of thing late sunday nites on K- Rock I think>> The guy who reads from books and was on Sunday nights wasn't Pete......you're thinking of Vin Scelsa. Actually he's still on Sunday nights, on WNEW again, which is al all-talk station except for him. I admire that he's doing something different....I admire ANYTHING on radio that's "different" nowadays.......but most BOMPers (including me) would run from the room if forced to listen to a lot of the music he plays. An awful lot of Whine-And-Cheese. A lot of people confuse Pete and Vin, their voices are slightly similar in a very "non-radio" kind of way. Me, I was the first (and last) guy to play "Woe-Is-Uh-Me-Bop" on WFUV. I think they're STILL washing the trasmitter down 27 years later.

I'm sure the results will be dutifully ignored by the programming giant's in Marketing Research... It's funny, of the five, their choice for the WORST is easily the BEST song of the 5, IMHO--at least it's got a bubblegummy sensibility... >Which is a pretty scary list.

Only UK no 1s qualified (which excluded >quite a lot - the Who, the Sex Pistols) The exclusion of the Sex Pistols is a spurious one indeed, considering they HAD the best selling single in the UK during the Queen's Silver Jubilee week with "God Save the Queen"... which was dutifully omitted from their listings, which only went as high as #2... Nothing like rewriting history to suit your needs...
