He became a "Programming Consultant" and made a whole lot of money. I think he probably still does it, unless he's retired. The ugly truth!! Mike F. THAT is hilarious about Pete Salant! What band did you guys play in? I remember him as Pete Stone on WAVZ in the 70's, and later on WKCI before he left to go into radio programming. Whatta jerk! That guy had/(has?) the biggest EGO..bigger than any rock star you could mention. How do I know him? Here in CT, I was working in production and as a weekend DJ on an AM radio station in '86. Our PD informed me that the low-watt AM station in town was changing format to "all-oldies", and that it would be programmed "in-house", meaning no consultant bullshit to tell you what could and could not be played. So, I sent three different airchecks of my show plus my own 60's Real Don Steele/93 KHJ 60's styled show on my college station. Salant was the PD and operations manager of the new station, and he would not respond to my requests of employment. Not one to be ignored, I invited myself in to the station, and demanded to see him. He looked at me, and said of the "Real Don Steele" aircheck that "people don't wanna hear a fast talking entertaining DJ anymore" (hey, he didn't even comment on my air-tight on-air production!), and that his station would only be hiring veterans to the on-air staff. This was complete BS, I mean, a daytime-only 1000 watt station at the bottom of the barrel in ratings hiring veterans? Who would want to work there that had any experience? He hired a chick who had a mellifluous voice, but didn't know the Guess Who from the Who... Then I offered Salant my input on the format itself. He stressed that the station would be different from the big oldies FM station in the area (WDRC-FM, still Gary Puckett every hour on the hour). I offered to be hired as music director assistant, since I had a killer collection, and I could dub stuff off of my 45's for them to air, like the three dozen local hits in the area that are not played anymore. Salant's reply? Local hits are too obscure and would upset the format. I laughed at him, and said that I knew more about programming oldies than he did, because he did not know what the hell he was talking about. A few curse words exchanged, and I left. When the arbitron ratings for the next "book" came out, Salant's AM oldies station was 13 out of 13 radio stations in the listening area. Our station was 3rd. I sent Salant a card, congratulating him on his brilliant programming that attracted the audience he claimed was clamoring for something "different" in oldies. Anyway, his station tanked in less than two years, and he split. Now, he's based in Virginia consulting for "oldies" stations. He was on the air up here a year ago for a DJ reunion show, and all he did was talk about how important he was, and his new business.

The article centered around Southern Culture On The Skids (just signed to DGC, former home of Nirvana); the Cramps (who had just released a CD on Medicine, a Warner Bros. subsidiary); and Hasil Adkins, who supposedly signed to IRS (did that record ever come out?).

Anyways, someone asked about the Stun guitar....Metal Mike used to get credited for stun guitar on some of the Angry Samoans records, too. Like Tomb (Tom Baggley) of Color Me Psycho/Forbidden Dimension/Von Zippers fame, they were early BoC fans as well.

It's kinda like a musical tease, you get the sweet with the wicked> I don't see Queen as similar to either Sweet, or T. Rex, both of which I adore. Well, not "Love Is Like Oxygen" period Sweet, but up to the "Give Us A Wink" album I like a lot, and even that album is kinda patchy. Actually, that's where I can see the Sweet/Queen comparison, when Sweet started using the dreaded "string synthesizer," they went way downhil for me! Same w/ T. Rex, there's that middle period where Bolan gets real lacklustre, but he redeemed himself with the "Dandy In The Underworld" album. Then he died. Well,I love early BOC, and just got the Stalk-Forest group CD, and it is killer psysch shit! BOC pretty much rearranged the Imperial Dogs tune, which I love. I like BOC's version okay, but the Dogs is so amazing! Someone mentioned that they respected Pat Metheney for his anti-Kenny G. campaign. I dunno, that's like say the singer from Creed raging against the singer from Vertical Horizon - to me there's little difference!

Their "Mas Dosis" CD was one of our favorites of 2000, and they also appear on a split LP w/Sir Dance-A-Lot on Repent Records. Have any of you other Bompers heard these guys? Thoughts/opinions? They play fantastic lo-fi garage punk sung in Spanish. Extremely good, LOUD garage rock'n'roll. Just wondering... I'd love to see these guys play somewhere in the States. They were one of the many great bands that unfortunately didn't get billed for this year's Cavestomp! kopper >> Hey they sounded pretty good on that Cavestomp Battle of the Bands, unfortunately at least in my case, their song was cut short, but they sounded pretty darn good. Where did ya find that LP ?

His "FM Persona" was also pretty close to the kind of show you described.

Unfortunately those German marketing geniuses got me with all those Bunny Yeager photos of that blonde girl--I knew what was happening, but it worked anyway! Joey >> I still have to check out those Love Peace and Poetry releases myself. I actually got the Exitos a Go Go CD at one of the local used shops for 6 bucks !!! Now what kind of and how much tequila did the person who traded it in have to be on to do that ??? I do thank them profusely for doin' so tho' !!! I got the last 4 Teenage Shutdowns and all 3 Fuzz Flaykes in one big swoop a few months ago from a good friend and they are all worth pickin' up on, my fave being the the Howlin' For My Darlin' LP !!!! awhoooooooooooooooooo ...... maureen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 16:12:40 -0500 From: "Jeffrey Lemlich" Subject: The Wreck Bar vs. Record Bar Colorcoat wrote: <> Easy to get confused, grasshopper! There was: (A) RECORD BAR, on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, which is what the ad was for. It was a record store that had a huge "teen" album selection, which a lot of stores didn't have in '66. I remember being in there as a small kid, eyeing the Manfred Mann "Pretty Flamingo" album which I really wanted, just because I liked the cover. Record Bar went out of business by the early 70s and became SOUNDS OF MUSIC record store, which kept getting worse into the 70s. I seem to recall it also being known as KING COLE MUSIC for a short time. It's now a GNC nutrition store. (B) THE WRECK BAR, in the Castaways Hotel, on Sunny Isles (North side of Miami Beach). Not on this air check, but ads for it appear on WQAM air checks recorded on 29 July 1966. This is probably where the hat is from. I have an original "shaker" from the Wreck Bar that I traded for a while back. Wayne Cochran & His CC Riders, Benny Latimore & The Kinfolk, and an endless variety of soulful acts played at this venue. On the WQAM ads the headliner was the great Miami girl group THE MARVELLS, who by that time were known nationally (but not locally) as THE FABULETTES. Annette Snell was one of their featured vocalists. Also on that bill was The Peridots who are Bomp-worthy by virtue of having recorded a song called "It's The Bomp"! Tiger radio... SWINGS...
