Bomptime! Yestertime! On February 1, in 1928, Frank Stokes recorded "Bedtime blues", "Downtown blues" and "What's the matter blues", in Memphis; 1958, Elvis Presley recorded "Doncha think it's time", "Wear my ring around your neck" and "Your cheatin' heart" at Los Angeles' Radio Recorders; 1959, the Nighthawks recorded "Good time girl" and "Queen of love" at Norman Petty's Studio in Clovis. These guys were from Texas and, as far as I know, are not connected to those Washington DC Blues Rockers; 1963, Dion DiMucci recorded "Fever" and "Gonna make it alone" at Los Angeles' Columbia Studios; 1967, the Beatles recorded the title song for their next lp, considered by some to be 'the most important lp of all time'. Some others think it's slightly overrated... The song, recorded in 9 takes, got one more take, Paul's lead and the group's backing vocals, on Fab. 2; 1967, the Beaux Jens recorded "She was mine" at Sparta's Great Lakes Studios; 1967, Wilson Pickett recorded "Funky Broadway" at Sheffield's Muscle Shoals Studios; 1967, Joe Tex recorded "Show me", in Nashville; 1970, the Free recorded "Remember" at London's Trident Studios; 1973, Rory Gallagher recorded a BBC session at London's Paris Theatre.

We're pressing 'em onto good old fashioned 7"s (some color, some black vinyl) and all we're asking is that you subscribe to the series. Then every other month for the rest of the year (or for 6 months if you'd rather), we'll send you two freshly minted 45 rpms. Two highly esteemed bomp-list members are putting stuff out through WAX, so you definitely won't want to miss it! Some of the bands in the line-up are: The Dirtbombs, Stevie and the Secrets (featuring ex-Devil Dog Steve Baise), Causey Way, Dimestore Haloes, Electric Frankenstein, and lots more.

Tony beat me to this - here's the compilation details - Suicidal Flowers by Crystal Chandelier, their 2nd 45 from '69, first appeared on the classic Pebbles Vol.3 "The Acid Gallery" , later on the CD version and The Pebbles Box Set. Also on Acid Dreams Epitaph CD and The Complete Acid Dreams.

The singer, real name Douglas Trendle, 40, was taken ill during his trademark energetic show during a European tour on Wednesday night. He was taken to hospital in Perugia, northern Italy, with a strangulated hernia. Doctors have said he needs an operation urgently, but because of his size - he weighs some 30 stone (400 pounds) - they are worried he might not survive surgery. A spokesman for the singer said: "He is very worried and wants to come home but the doctors have said they must operate. Unfortunately he is so big that any operation could be extremely dangerous." Bloodvessel, whose band has had hits with Lip Up Fatty, Special Brew and Can Can, is married with two children, Charleigh, nine, and Trudi, six. Bad Manners formed in 1979 and had a string of hits during the 1980s. Bloodvessel, who once owned a hotel in Margate, Kent, called Fatty Towers recently appeared in a TV commercial mocking his poor financial state. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2001 22:25:37 -0000 From: "sara sherr" Subject: girl rock night in philly Hello all, Sorry that I've been so behind lately, I think Bomp has more Digests than just about any other list I'm on, and work has been nutz! I work for a certain online music store, and if you've been reading the news lately, you can well imagine. Anyway, if any of you are in the Philadelphia area on Thursday, February 8, I'm doing another one of my Sugar Towns again (girl bands + DJ's). It's at The Balcony (above the Trocadero, 10th and Arch, 215-922-LIVE), $6, 21+, doors at 9. Featured entertainment for our anti-Valentine's day edition is Gal Lombardo (2 of the founders of mid '90s Philly garage band Mae Pang), who are mixing things up with sort of a Wanda Jackson feel, and plus they do a killer cover of "You Don't Own Me." On the artier side is another Philly band, Bilenky Cycle Works, who remind me of a bit of Siouxsie and the singer's a dead ringer for The Busha Tetra's Cynthia Sley. My fellow DJ's and I will spin rockin break up songs by fabulous ladies all night long. And we're also starting up the Sugar Town merch table with zines and other items by/for women. If anyone wants to get in on the action in any way, or just to make a request, e-mail me offlist...Or maybe we can start a discussion of good break up songs! In other news, has anyone seen The Gossip, White Stripes, or Slumber Party play? I'm eagerly awaiting their Philadelphia appearances.

I wholeheartedly agree...the Warlocks are amazing!... Too bad this very fine review of Fred's hasn't yet been re-printed in the L.A. New Times, the local alt weekly affiliated with all of the other New Times papers, including the Phoenix New Times...what's wrong with the local L.A. free weeklies? They rarely review L.A. bands' releases unless they're Tsar or someone less interesting...where was the smallstone review?
