I guess it's the eternal Paris/French thing: the Gibus Club was Johnny Thunders' home away from home in the 1980s (witness the whole Jet Boys/Freddy Lynxx legacy for proof), the Real Kids practically wore berets, first with Philippe Garnier and the Sponge label in 1977, then with two of their five albums out on NR only (and one on Lolita), I mean Christ did they use to milk that "Boston connection" in Nineteen Magazine, etc. Ain't no worshippin' like Euro worshippin'!

Hi all: Radio in Atlanta is pretty horrifying. I, for one, love having a cd player in the car. They're better than tape players because of instant access to the tune you want at the moment. The cds don't unravel. My personal faves for driving are The Tropics anthology (Florida 1960s band), The Garage Unknown series, Martin Newell's Greatest Living Englishman, E. Costello's This year's Model, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the sex Pistols and Talk, Talk, Talk by the P. Furs. They keep me awake and happy to be stuck in traffic.

"searching in the wilderness" - great driving music, more great early morning stuff. don't drink too much coffee and get behind the wheel to "wont you listen" by the outsiders!! this qualifies you as a public danger. it does me, anyway, i think.

"sonic reducer," the groovies' skydog version of "slow death." the raspberries. the sonics - "boss hoss," especially. my car - 91 sentra - is painted turn-on red. jerry lee lewis. gotta hurry up now, i am going to be late again - but heres some music (stuff that i really like, too) that's not very good music to drive to: groep 1850 dylan (i get too distracted trying to listen to the words) 2nd soft machine album so what does everyone else listen to on the way to work, school etc etc??? rob >> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 11:40:31 -0600 From: Jeff Kopp Subject: The Thanes Does anyone know if Corduroy ever released the Thanes double LP that they've been advertising for quite some time now?

Undoubtedly a great show, I can't believe I didn't make it out to see him. I've only heard a few of his songs, but I dig 'em. He's featured in Irwin Chusid's recent cd and book, SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z: THE CURIOUS UNIVERSE OF OUTSIDER MUSIC. I highly recommend both, and also put the cd on my top faves of last year (just like Lee Soundviews did). Willis is featured on both, and the book has chapters on folks like Wild Man Fischer, Syd Barrett, Daniel Johnston, Captain Beefheart, the Shaggs, Lucia Pamela and scores more!

This happened to me just the other day. I was driving home from work and had the local oldies station on. Now about 98% of said station's playlist is pretty forgettable, but just as I was pulling in to my place "God Only Knows" comes on, so of course I had to stay there like a dork and finish it out. Cassettes are great, CDs are even better, but there's nothing like the feeling of hearing a treasured song on the radio.
