Should be a hoot! - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Secret Cinema presents: NUGGETS: CELLULOID ARTYFACTS OF SIXTIES ROCK Moore College of Art and Design 20th & Race Streets, Philadelphia (215) 568-4515, ext. 4099 Friday, January 26 8:00 pm On Friday, January 26, The Secret Cinema at Moore College of Art and Design will present NUGGETS: CELLULOID ARTYFACTS OF SIXTIES ROCK. This unique hodgepodge of ultra-rare reels consists of various short films and television shows -- almost all never shown before by the Secret Cinema (or anyone else, since they were made) -- showcasing mod, garage and pop music from the mid-to-late 1960s. To make it even more of a once-in-a-lifetime event, we'll have Stewkey (lead singer and keyboardist of Philadelphia's greatest '60s band The Nazz) on hand to present and discuss a rare print of the promo film for "Open My Eyes." As ALWAYS, all Secret Cinema presentations are projected in 16mm film on a giant screen (that's right, no video). There will be one complete show at 8:00 pm. Admission is $6.00. A few highlights of NUGGETS include: GIRLS IN SHORT SHORT DRESSES (1966) - Paramount made this topical film in the final days of the theatrical short subject era, to capitalize on the worldwide interest in then very-Swinging London. Incredibly, it stars actual mod band The Thoughts, who are best known to collectors for their recording of Ray Davies' otherwise unreleased song "All Night Stand," on Shel Talmy's Planet Records label. In this previously unknown Technicolor film, they perform two songs in the famous Blaise's nightclub, and in a reverse on the usual rock band scenario, THEY chase GIRLS around tube stations and Carnaby Street boutiques. The film also makes a visit to the studio of fashion designer Mary Quant, inventor of the mini skirt. THE ECSTASY IS SOMETIMES FANTASTIC (1966) - Made by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, this is a rare cinema verite look at a working, not-quite-made-it rock group. Toronto garage band Jon and Lee and the Checkmates reveal all sides of their world, from belting out James Brown numbers in packed clubs, to going over itineraries and accounting, to the crucial business of getting the right haircut. THE NAZZ: OPEN MY EYES (1967) - Rock videos weren't invented in the '80s; they've been around since sound film was perfected. In the '60s they were called "promo films," and this was one of the better ones. Stewkey, the lead singer and keyboardist of Philly's greatest mod band, will introduce this first ever public screening of his personal print (which is actually a rare alternate edit of the clip MTV has shown!), and talk about what it was like to make a rock promo film. Plus more!

No records released in the USA. They were on Chiswick in the UK. Two LPs (at least) and several singles, a few of which made substantial chart showings.

The other day, I picked up a DVD put out by MPI containing 4 episodes (and 21 bonus scenes) of the very-short-lived ABC series "Music Scene." Apparently, this show ran five months during the 1969-70 season and was the last time a rock-oriented show was tried in prime time. (Late night would be the next refuge, as witnessed by "The Midnight Special," "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert," etc.)This according to a recently-published book on rock 'n' roll on TV called "Station To Station," which is a pretty good read. Anyway, this is another show that featured performances from some of the top stars of the day. (These were picked according to the week in Billboard on the pop, soul and country charts.) One of those is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young who do Young's "Down by the River" and I'll be damned if it don't smoke. I believe the show's director, Stan Harris, told the author of the book mentioned above that he thought he had the best CSNY captured and IMHO, he ain't too far from wrong. Of course, like MPI's "Hullabaloo" DVD (which I also have), there's a lot of dreck from people like Bobby Sherman, Paul Anka, Oliver, Gary Puckett and the like. Plus the comedy segments (from six different hosts including David Steinberg and Lily Tomlin) are, for the most part, lame. But there's still a lot worth seeing. There are performances on view from Janis Joplin, The Dells, Smith, Ten Years After, Sly and the Family Stone, The Temptations, The Rascals, BB King, Spirit, James Brown, Ten Years After, Issac Hayes, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and others. So, if you have a DVD player, the disc is worth getting to see the good stuff. P.S. There's also some promo clips for the show featuring The Rolling Stones. (Too bad there's no performance footage.) And a clip from the "Archies" cartoon show to promote "Sugar, Sugar." The disc concludes with one of the strangest clips I've ever seen, of The Everly Brothers attempting to go through a hippie phase and attempting heavy rock. It's either pathetic or fascinating depending on your point of view, but at least Don and Phil look like they're having a good time.

The Fab Four's first single-CD greatest-hits album, aptly titled 1, held the number-one spot on the pop album sales charts for a sixth consecutive week despite a growing threat from red-hot reggae-popster Shaggy. The Beatles sold more than 260,000 copies of 1 for the week ended January 14, according to SoundScan. Shaggy's Hotshot--which trailed 1 by more than 100,000 copies on last week's chart--is steadily closing the sales gap, moving an impressive 191,000 copies. Shaggy has made an incredible comeback with his new hit song, "Wasn't Me," which was also number two on the singles chart for the week. Shaggy has since been tapped to perform "Wasn't Me" on NBC's Saturday Night Live February 24. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 18:03:44 +0100 From: "ALFREDO FIORENTINI" Subject: Re: Billy Childish Boldface wrote: >>> Billy Childish returns to live music performances on FRIDAY 13th MARCH with his new group, THE BUFF MEDWAYS - at the Dirty Water Club, in Harpers Bar at The Boston, 178 Junction Road, London N19 5QQ (directly opposite Tufnell Park underground station on the Northern line).

Yeah, the Mi. Mayhem could have been a lot better sounding.

The Kinks "I Need You" was on A-Square as a split single with The Scot Richard Case's (listed as "The old exciting Scot Richard Case"! - the owner of A-Square and the S.R.C. manager had acrimoniously parted ways sometime earlier) killer cut of "Get The Picture." The Fan Club lp version has an added "slate" at the start ("'I Need You' Take Four"), other than that it sounds about the same to me. (If anybody needs this A-Square 45, I have an extra copy for trade...)

Perhaps I'm biased, as well (is there anyone who is not?). Even if this is one of the reasons that I liked "The Quest", I still think that a lot of you will share my opinion when you hear some of the songs on it. My favorite ones so far are "Cool Aid" (seems to fit well thematically with "Hamburger Heaven"!), "Ain't no sunshine", and "Searching". > And yes, you're right with the Saints comparison, 'Eternally Yours' was one > of Tim's all-timers,plus he had some vague notions of crossbreeding Wilson > Pickett with the Ramones. Now it all makes sense!

It's a double disc that I've seen pretty widely available. There are a LOT of anthologies out there, so I picked the one which I felt best represents her work in the 60s. If you find you like some of the material over the rest, you can see which album it's from at the FH online discography: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/geroki/ I for one like her more heavily produced songs from the mid to late 60s, though I know quite a few folks prefer her early british beat influenced material. Though I find earlier 'yeh-yeh' stuff charming, I think her ability as a songwriter really began to flower with her 3rd lp (entitled FH2 aka "Je Veux Qu'il Revienne") It's really amazing the level of maturity her material acheived between this and her previous release (her 2nd lp entitled FH1 aka "Le premier bonheur du jour" I think) I haven't gone very far into her 70s stuff, so maybe someone else can help you there. Anyway maybe some wouldn't agree, but hopefully this is some help to you. Though most of her original lps have been released on cd, most online stores only carry the anthologies. I have found a good selection of the original lps on cd at OtherMusic.com. - ----- Original Message ----- From: sara sherr To: Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 8:32 AM Subject: francois hardy > > What's a good beginner's primer for someone who doesn't own any of her > stuff? > _________________________________________________________________ > > ===> To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe bomp" to majordomo@xnet2.com <=== > ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 11:33:36 -0800 From: Alan Wright Subject: RE: Love I tried checking out the Rhino website for in fo on the Forever Changes reish but there's no info at all!!
