Mono Mann took a dive into the audience during the last song of their set and no one was there to catch him, it happened a few feet from me, but I somehow missed it. I just remember kind of hearing it, looking at the stage, seeing him not there, then looking towards the ground and seeing his head behind the crowd. I think he was walking around later, but I am not sure.

Dylan and the Band, separately, remade a few of the songs they did jointly on the Basement Tapes. Ian Gomm remade some of the songs he wrote for Brinsley Schwarz. Aren't there "update" covers (original song title + year of update)? I'm thinking of "Shaft 1996" and the like.

I was gonna go, but > decided to just stay in town and party down. Any fans of Sloppy Seconds-style punk'n'roll should definitely pick up the new CD called "Planet of Blood" by St. Louis' own DED BUGS. These guys have been around for over six years now and this CD (the band's fourth) is incredible and is easily one of my favorites of 2001. 10 songs in 22 minutes for just $10... You can get it here: http://www.dedbugs.com/bugmerch.htm (For those of you who picked up a copy of Head in a Milk Bottle #1, guitarist/vocalist Matt Bug was the one who wrote the great Joey Ramone eulogy.) Their bio: Ded Bugs are rock'n'roll! Reared on Ramones records and renowned for staging annual bottle rocket wars in their sleepy DeSoto, Missouri hometown, this hi-energy quartet started mixing their own concoction of frenzied punk'n'roll back in 1995. Taking equal parts '60s bubblegum and garage rock, '70s power pop and three-chord punk, horror/B-movies, cartoons, comic books and an irresistible fun attitude and mixing it all together, we can safely say that these four cretins have indeed mastered the "art" of hyper-hooky punk'n'roll. Less than a year after the release of "Songs for the Possessed and Insane," hey are back now with a vengeance on their fourth full-length slab, the ass-shakin' creature feature CD, "Planet of Blood!" These root beer swillin' B-movie addicts have been churning out their brand of up-tempo, fun, energetic punk rock since crawling up onto their first stage back in '95. The band's previous three CDs released on their own IBC Shadows label turned heads and melted CD players as the band set out to splatter its sound all over the Midwest! Now they've have hit their stash of Nerds, Runts, Laffy Taffys and Bottle Caps again, recruited punk rock producer hero Mass Giorgini to twist the knobs, turned the amps all the way up and let loose with a frantic 10-song soundtrack to your favorite zombie nightmare. The result? Twenty-two minutes and twenty-one seconds of blazin' melodic retardation that's sure to get all the baby dolls to move their feet. This release has more hooks than Captain Ahab's tackle box! Primary ingredient? F-U-N! Influences? The Ramones to The Dickies to The Undertones to The Damned to Cheap Trick to Motorhead to Sloppy Seconds to The Groovie Ghoulies to The Smugglers... (you get the idea). Loud, fast, fun and relentless: The Ded Bugs' "Planet of Blood" CD.

I was gonna go, but decided to just stay in town and party down. Mark I went. It was their usual good show, except I had trouble hearing the drums where I was sitting. They played a lot of new songs, including one called "You Can't Kill Joey Ramone" that I really liked, and B.A. got smashingly drunk during the set. The Beautys, from Ft. Wayne also rocked the place, as did Fat Ass (bass player Erick's other band). Didn't get to see Destination: Earth, but I did see the Dirty Little Secrets, whom I like, and Chronic Chaos, who I didn't. Beat the hell out of sitting home, that's for sure.

I bet Blair knows! According to one of the Crypt cheapo samplers, which I was listening to over Christmas, one of the band took their Childish produced recordings done at Coyote Studio and owed Time Warren money for them. The session featured three Billy Childish originals (e.g. Hose Bag) that the Devil Dogs later re-recorded. I do not know if the original recording ever ended up being released though.

Nowhere on the cover or in the 8 pages of liner notes (that talk about how he wrote all the songs) is there any indication that half the songs are remakes or that all the rest are just current album cuts--not really "the best of..."

One of my all time favorite examples: Pere Ubu recording "30 Seconds over Tokyo," "Life Stinks" and "Final Solution" and the Dead Boys recording "Sonic Reducer" and "Ain't It Fun" from Rocket from the Tombs. Laughner also recorded later versions (great ones, too) of "Ain't It Fun" and "Life Stinks" on his own. "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell and the Voidoids started out as a Television song, come to think of it.

As well as playing keyboards for English acts like the Love Affair and Mott the Hoople, Fisher also produced albums by the Dead Kennedys, Wayne/Jayne County and Cherry Vanilla. 1953 - Country's greatest songwriter Hank Williams dies in the back seat of a Cadillac driving him to a concert in West Virginia. He was 29. Thanks to drink and drugs, he looked a lot older. 1955 - Record label RCA Victor kicks off "Operation TNT" today. To boost record sales, they drop the price of LPs two dollars to $3.98. Singles fall from $1.16 to 89 cents. Other record companies soon follow suit. 1957 - The first edition of the UK television music show Cool For Cats hosted by Kent Walton, is broadcast on ITV. 1962 - The Beatles perform their first audition for Decca Records in London. However, the company's A&R man Dick Rowe is unimpressed by their 15-song set of standards and originals and signs the Tremeloes instead. Rowe tells manager Brian Epstein that 'Guitar groups are on the way out'! 1963 - The Beatles kick off a five date Scottish tour to promote their debut single "Love Me Do." Somewhere a Decca A&R starts kicking himself. 1964 - First UK broadcast of BBC weekly television chart show Top Of The Pops, introduced by Jimmy Saville. Featuring bands performing their chart hits, the show becomes an institution and is still airing today. 1965 - The New Musical Express reports that the Nashville Teens, the Zombies and the Hullabaloos have all been denied work visas that would permit them to perform in the United States. Unfortunately, the English groups have already entered the country to start a tour. Just imagine ... if history had gone the other way, the Hullabaloos could have been bigger than the Beatles! But we don't think the Decca A&R man signed them, either. 1966 - Simon & Garfunkel knock the Dave Clark Five off the US No. 1 spot with "The Sounds of Silence." 1966 - The Beach Boys hit US chart with "Barbara Ann." 1967 - 'Freakout' show takes place at Roundhouse. Featured bands include Pink Floyd, The Who and Move. 1967 - The Grateful Dead and Big Brother & the Holding Company perform at the New Year's Wail/Whale in San Francisco. The bash is held by the Hell's Angels to thank the Haight-Ashbury hippies for bailing their member Chocolate George. 1967 - Gary Lewis of the Playboys is drafted into the U.S. Army. 1968 - Figures released today show that American consumers spent over $1 billion on recorded music in 1967. Album sales were 192 million and single sales 187 million. 1976 - Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant walks unassisted for the first time since his car accident in Greece in August 1975. Planty says, "Every day I walk more and more without the stick and I'm going to need physiotherapy so I should think it'll be the beginning of the next soccer season before I'm running about again." 1977 - Former gay disco the Roxy opens again as a punk club in London, with the Clash headlining the first night there. 1984 - Alexis Korner, whose band Blues Incorporated gave many English musicians their start in the business, dies aged 55 of lung cancer in London. Among Incorporated's alumni are Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Jack Bruce, Steve Marriott and Manfred Mann. 1991 - Buck Ram, who produced records by the Penguins and the Platters, dies aged 73 in Las Vegas. He also wrote the Platters' great hit "Only You." 1997 - Townes Van Zandt, the singer-songwriter who wrote the country hits "If I Needed You" and "Pancho and Lefty" and gained a cult following for his blues-inspired recordings about life's losers, dies from a heart attack aged 52. 2000 - George Harrison leaves hospital following a knife attack at his English mansion by a crazed fan. Doctors tell him that he will be able to play the guitar again, despite suffering a hand wound. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2002 #2 *************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
