THAT is a very good question - it should be commonly available, as it was a Top Five hit in Australia in '66. The original 45 still turns up here, although I've seen it sell for extortionate amounts overseas. The Throb's 'Fortune Teller' has been comped on 'The Raven EP LP Volume 1', but that has been out of print since 1982! (It may have appeared elsewhere since, but not on anything I have at hand.) Incidentally, the Throb were Sydney's ugliest, most long-haired and raving R&B punk band along with the Missing Links. Be sure to check out their other raving killers - "Black" (Devil's Children vol.1 CD), "I Need You" (Ugly Things #2 LP) "One Thing To Do" (Ugly Things #3 LP) as well as "Believe In Me" and "Turn My Head" (the latter are on a couple of Euro comps who's names escape me - I'm thinkin' Diggin For Gold#1 and Infernal World #2). There exists a cache of additional unreleased Throb material too, and it is - I hope - a matter of time before a complete THROB comp sees the light of day. - -Peter M ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Feb 01 00:36:48 +1100 From: Subject: Re: ROUTE 66 >And the first version of Route '66 that pops into my mynd is by the Pupils >(aka the Eyes)...natch!

For one reason or another he is not as loved as guys in the British Walkers, Hangmen, Lawrence and the Arabians, etc. when I talk to people who know the score they usually have nice stories about the other bands but not the English Setters, who I have an interest in because of an add for a show they did a mile or so from my parents' house. honestly, and I don't want to piss anyone off, a guy I wrote to on email went OFF on Punky as a napoleon-complex personality. After the Cherry People went away Punky was in a band called Daddy Warbux/ Bux which is when I think he got hooked up with people from New England. AFAIK all the other guys in Angel were from the Boston scene when the band formed. Angel werre marketed as "white" to Kiss's "black" and AFAIK, costumes, marketing, etc were done by the same people. Casablanca records was intimately involved in the film Foxes, I'm not sure how, but one of the characters (Randy Quaid) is a casablanca rep, I think. I forget the details though. has anyone heard the following cds?

It indeed includes "Surprise,Surprise"(Jagger/Richards) as well as the ORIGINAL version of "Here Comes The Night". Lulu's version of HCTN is bombastic and schmaltzy. Nowhere near as Bompworthy as the hit by Them. But my fave is "Try To Understand"(definitely not The Seeds song!!!) which you will dig if you're into finely crafted girl pop. And it has very fine subject material,as Lulu tries to explain sweetly to her boyfriend why she wants to shag some other guy:TRY TO UNDERSTAND,I LOVE YOU,I LOVE YOU,I LOVE YOU...which is an amazing hook. -- Nancy Neon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 09:03:30 EST From: Nancyneon01@aol.com Subject: Re:Question Mark/RYL/The Greenhornes 3/31 Bompers And Bompettes,Question Mark/RYL/The Greenhornes will be playing the Village Underground in NYC,Mach 31.

I recommend getting drunk first, since you will have to listen to a lot of CRAP, but no education is free! Find your local "oldies" station. In New York, as we've discussed before, it's WCBS-FM. They try to replicate the 60s top-40 experience as faithfully as they can, right down to the reverb tank they use. Their on-air guys are culled mainly from New York's two main top-40 stations from back in the day (WABC and WMCA.) Harry Harrison, "Cousin Brucie", Dan Ingram, etc.....each still using all their original jingles. (In fact, when one of the ex-MCA guys is on, and they play Len Barry's "1-2-3", during the second verse--when Len sings "ABC"--they STILL, to this day, play a sound clip of an audience booing. Cute.) Sounds like a good idea. Thing is, the New York charts, back in the day, were much more parochial than we really knew.....and I'm not talking about their playing "local sensations" at the expense of national hits. Far from it. The Four Seasons, from Newark, got no more play than, say, Herman's Hermits. (NOW, it's different. Now WCBS plays the Four Seasons more than they play the Beatles.) What was weird, at the time, was how much nationally-charting music was just skipped over. The first James Brown song I heard was "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag." And, you may say this is just a reflection of how badly black music was ignored by white radio.....but plenty of white artists got skipped as well. What's weird is to listen to them NOW. Because twice a week, they do a "survey countdown" from the current day in a random year from the past. Complete with what movies opened that week, what episode of "I Love Lucy" was on, how much a loaf of bread cost, etc. But they're using the NATIONAL charts now, not the local ones. Often I have found myself howling at the car radio, "BULLSHIT!! You NEVER played 'Soul Man!' LIARS!!!" Glad you mentioned the Cryan' Shames. More Chicago heroes. And the ONLY one of their hits that NY radio ever played was "Sugar And Spice." Even their version of "Up On The Roof," by New Yorker/Brill Building Girl Carole King, didn't make it to the radio here.

My company created the video files for the discs, and we'll do the clips for the upcoming Chocolate Watchband release as well. We're also producing the "Knights of Fuzz" CD-ROM, which will have 7 big-screen, high quality videos from garage bands 1980-2000 (as well as the book and an audio compilation). The technique of adding video to "regular" audio CDs has been around for a while, but is now really taking off... There were some technical questions about adding video to audio CDs, so here's a few answers: the video is added after we know the running time of the audio portion, so that's why the video windows and image quality will differ from release to release. (The shorter the audio portion, the more digital room on the disc for video.) We have to balance video screen size, frame rate, and type of compression (among other techno things) to get the best possible result for the space allowed. We prefer at this point to make the video as QuickTime movies. Because different codecs (compression/decompression software) are used with different approaches for making the QT video files, it's important that version QT 4.0 (or newer) is on your computer to see the clips correctly. There could be some other problems that could hamper good viewing -- but these will be problems in your own computer's system, not in the video itself... Anyway, I think this is pretty exciting stuff -- to be able to get garage and psych sights out (affordably) in a way that many fans can see. And garage DVDs will be the next step... I'll write soon with the complete band line-ups for "The Knights of Fuzz" CD-ROM...

Good to see that low-tech sounds better than high-tech even for millionaire rock stars. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 16:20:32 EST From: SoundViews@aol.com Subject: DEAD FLOWERS WEBZINE updated, 2/2 (new picks, the monks, jagged edge, etc.) just uploaded... february's music picks/reviews!

"Street Fightin' Man" is the song that began w/ Keith red-lining his acoustic on a cassette player. Jimmy Miller later dubbed that on a multitrack and the band developed the song around that.

What might I listen to hear styles that are similar to what the Swamp Zombies played? I particularly like two albums they did: "A Frenzy of Music and Animation" and "Fink". They played, I guess what could be called, a space-age beatnik sound. Any you cats know of any similar bands?
