So why not take a break and bore you with my boredom? Nah.... just some history.... On January 23, in 1951, Muddy Waters recorded "Honey bee", "Howling wolf", "Long distance call" and "Too young to know" at Chicago's Chess Studios; 1952, Rosco Gordon recorded "Decorate the counter" at Memphis' Sun Studios; 1952, Howlin' Wolf recorded "Highway man" and "My troubles and me", also at Sun; 1958, Elvis Presley "Steadfast, loyal and true" and "Young dreams" at Los Angeles' Radio Recorders. He also re-recorded "King Creole", leaving his January 15 effort redundant; 1962, Johnny Winter recorded "Ease my pain" at Jay Miller's famous Excello Studios in Crowley LA; 1963, the Beatles, after having had a busy BBC day, now had a bad day. Being scheduled for a gig at Liverpool's Cavern Club, they had to get into their van and drive all the way north. Problem was, that the windshield had shattered and it was one of those winters... Dutch Bompers will understand 'Elfstedentocht'... The Beatles tried to stay warm by laying on top of each other in the back of the van... Three weeks later my kid brother was born and his cradle was not allowed to be upstairs, as there was no heating there... Poor, poor Beatles... Oh, they made it just in time for the gig! Driver/assistant road manager Mal Evans survived as well... A toast to him! 1970, Tyrone Davis recorded "Turn back the hands of time", in New York; 1970, Jimi Hendrix recorded "Country blues" at New York's Record Plant; 1971, Fleetwood Mac recorded a BBC session. "Preachin'" from that session is to be found on "Live at the BBC"; 1975, the Rolling Stones recorded "Melody" in Rotterdam, Holland, using their own Mobile Unit; 1980, Saxon recorded a BBC Friday Rock Show session, playing "Backs to the wall", "Stallions of the highway", "Motorcycle man", "Still fit to boogie" and "747 (strangers in the night)". Not really being a Bomp-ish band, Saxon were the ones who triggered my intensive concert visiting for the next decades, although after their gig I swore I'd never see another Heavy Metal band again: I was half-deaf for three days! Within a month I'd picked up my bad habit again, sometimes seeing three or four bands a week for the next 5 years. Noise is addictive... That's it for now, maybe my PC is still hooked up tomorrow..... L8er, Jan (now, thru' the noise of people tearing up the place, to the Buzzcocks' "Love bites", part of their great "Product" box) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 05:37:36 EST From: ARei425705@aol.com Subject: Re: bomp-digest V2001 #51 In a message dated 1/22/01 8:54:19 PM, owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com writes: << A couple years later, Walt and Rick joined forces in a group called The Pawns.

I gotta agree with Vanya, that there's a load of shitty music at Plato's, YET, go down to the basement and find yourself in R&R&B heaven!! And if you take your time, you'll find something nice on the groundfloor as well (I ALWAYS DO!!). And if it's not there, I just order it... Being, sometimes against better financial judgment, a faithful customer, I avoid other shops, basically because I'm happy with the shops I frequent... Now there's one point I'd like to "attack" both of you on: you both compare US Dollars to Dutch Guilders and German Marks, making just straight swaps and I think that's not right! I was thinking about going to the latest Cavestomp, yet left my plan, as soon as I saw hotelprices and ticketprices etc. You both gotta take in account the 'normal' monthly income in national currency and then start comparing record prices. I told this before to someone Stateside: I wanted to have Billy Idol's "Vital Idol" and Jeroen told me he could only order it Stateside but that I had to prepared to pay some 70 guilders, whereas the European had cost me only about 30 guilders, some 10 years ago!!

If you want to hear their jazz influences really come out, you need to get the two Chapter III albums.

Everything from their Fontana period (after Paul Jones left) has been collected on the 'ascent of mann' 2CD. I think it's brilliant.

Talk about underrated, too! There's this one track, "It's So Easy Falling," which sounds like a lost Beach Boys track from the Pet Sounds album. Other real stand-outs are "Trouble and Tea" and their original version of "Ha Ha Said The Clown" (though I admit I prefer the Yardbirds' version). Who can forget their great hippy anthem, "The Mighty Quinn?" I could kill Jerry Garcia for appropriating that into Deadheadom. Luckilly, Eating crap and doing drugs already did. I don't find D'Abo's voice as gutsy as Jones', but he had really great pop sensibilities.

KIngs Are you sure that was '86, because I thought Walt joined them after >"Doomsday" came out in '87! Mike is absolutely correct in this. Walt (ex-BBBs, The Swing Set, and The Insiders, I believe) joined up when Ori left (after a Buffalo - or maybe Cleveland - show) in early '86. Something puts the time around March in my mind. Rick and Walt played together in the band till Rick left around June '87. In fact, the Doomsday record release party (late June or early July '87) was the first show I saw them do without him. In fact, it was probably the first one with "Sonic Boy" Mike Pappert (who did an excellent self-released semi-solo Power Pop/Mod single as The Group Image). When I saw Rick in the audience before the band was about to go on, I obviously had to ask. At the time, he just said that he was planning to go live with his girlfriend in California. A year or so later, I ran into him at the Big Kahuna in NYC. I remember him telling me he'd had offers to join both The Fuzztones and The Lyres at various points, but wasn't interested. He did say that the reason he'd left was that he'd become disillusioned with the band's direction. He also indicated that Walt was feeling much the same way. (This probably explains Walt's departure, as well.) Of course, there are many sides to the story. A couple years later, Walt and Rick joined forces in a group called The Pawns. I don't think that lasted too long, tho'. And now Rick's in McFadden's Parachute. (Or was last time I heard.) - - - Blair > Yeah, you're both absolutely right! I was confusing Walt with Mike! So, it was Mike that was playing the guitar even though Rick was helping out as a roadie. I remember that Group Image single, although I never got one, it was a cool single.

I don't remember the A-side, but the song I'd really love to find is called "There Is A Man." It's this really weird thing, more spoken than sung. The narrator talks about a little man over in the corner that only he can see. When he tells other people about the little man "They beat me" whereupon the rest of the band chimes in "We beat him." Does anybody know of an LP or CD that includes "There Is A Man"?

I picked up a clutch of Imperial/Stax LPs...fairly clean, tho' not without any marks...right, and they feel like they are pressed on the evil styrenne (the imperials LPs are of that unfortunate hazy grey wax...think Golden Crest quality)...point being, these are relatively static filled w/o being excessively worn or dirty...HOWEVER, last night I noticed the static only really plays through one channel...so, here's my question, so when playing a Mono record through a stereo (magnetic even) cartidge, which channel actually plays the correct side to side reading of the Mono record? Second question...Should I presume I can find a ceramic Mono cartridge for my stereo rig or do I need to set up another system w/a (older?) turntable rigged for Mono only? xonipper ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 13:32:37 -0500 From: "Blair Buscareno" Subject: Re: burners > i'm pretty sure the newest G4s can be purchased w/ a cd burner inside. that > would definitely be the way to go if you're getting a mac Yep. I mentioned this off-list to Lee, but others might be interested, as well. Go to http://www.apple.com for more info. I think the important addition in this respect is the new program they're including called iDVD. Yep, the new Macs are being set up to burn DVDs (CDs, too, I think) right outta the box. Now *that* sounds fun! Use iMovie to create your own flicks, then burn 'em to DVD and show 'em. Actually, I'd love to shoot video of some bands, then burn that to DVD for my friends. Hmm... *I* want a new G4. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 10:41:55 -0800 From: Alan Wright Subject: RE: WORST show by a garage-inspired combo << Now, how about the WORST show by a garage-inspired combo? >> I can't remember what they were called, but I saw this band once at the Silver Dollar in Toronto, it was at that Chesterfield Kings show I think, and they were terrible. They did all the "typical" garage covers you know, "City Of People," "99th Floor," "Green Fuz," "I Can Only Give You Everything," etc. etc., but with this awful female vocalist trying her hardest to do Janis Joplin but failing miserably. Also, they had an incredibly wanky lead guitarsist pulling out Eddie Van Helen-esque riffs, and who seemed like he hated playing this stuff, and doing these stupid guitar solos was all that made him excited about it. A year or so ago, my band the Infernal Three played a show with this band 24 Robbers opening, and they really sucked. They did the worst version of "Have Love Will Travel" I've ever heard. They later played with the band I'm in now, the Reckless Bastards, but before I joined, and apparently they were so lame, they got kicked off the stage by the promoter!!
