I didn't even know what was being asked about! Danny Banks is essentially correct. During the last song of the DMZ set (and a flaming great set it was, I say) Jeff jumped off the stage onto the floor. It wasn't a "stage dive" or anything, lest you get the wrong impression. It was a reg'lar old vertical jump. It's not that no one was there to catch him, as would've been necessary for a true swan-like Stage Dive. He just slipped and fell when his feet hit the floor, that's all. Thing is, he landed on his FACE. When I call it a "non-event", make no mistake, I probably would've considered it an "event" had it happened to ME. I just meant that there was no serious injury. We were, though, rather worried at the time......it took him a LONG time to get up. A couple of people were trying to help him up (I was in the wings, behind the amps, so I had a better view than anybody) but it took a while to get him vertical again. So, naturally, the people who couldn't see too well started to panic. About a minute and a half later, he was up. He waved to the audience, walked back up thru the stage door and the band walked off. He was hurt bad enough for him to decide not to give the audience the encore they were screaming for, but I think everyone understood. I was expecting them to be great--I had never seen 'em back in the day--and they were better than great. Jeff, in particular, was more "on" than I've seen him at any recent Lyres gig. And that's saying quite a bit. When I was talking to him in the dressing room upstairs about a half-hour later (after repeated efforts to get the Detroit Cobras on the stage!) he was fine. Sitting down, mind you, but fine. JJ turned to me and said "Okay, are we on yet? When do we go on?" and everybody laughed. I replied, "Yeah, I'll get you guys back on there sooner than I'll get the Cobras on." Said Cobras were alternately sitting around, writing up set lists, having an impromptu acoustic rehearsal in the stairwell......everything except heeding my repeated entreaties to head stageward. Oh well. They were very nice folks, all, as it turns out. Apparently the only thing they can do QUICKLY is whip an audience into a frenzy! So no harm done. The Mighty Hannibal was, simply, amazing. His excellent Norton comp CD, "Hannibalism", gives you no idea what his show is like. James Brown, Sly, and Jackie Wilson comparisons abound. The Rogers Sisters......now them, you'll have to make up your own mind about, if you get a chance. I liked 'em. The singer, though, has one of those Helium Voices--possibly THE most severe Helium Voice I've ever heard--and that drives some people nuts. Interesting songs, though. And they would, also, fetch a high rating on the Fuscareno Scale--in other words, if you are a male human you may wish to go see them even if you don't care for the music, and that's all I'll say about THAT. One of the most fun things about these NYC shows is bringing BOMPers (and other on-liners) together face-to-face for the first time, who only know each other from communiques like this one. But we had an unusual First Encounter on Friday night during the DMZ set. I was in the stage-right wings, and Jen Rassler was in the stage-left wings. I saw her frantically waving to me about halfway through the set, so I walked around back to see what she wanted. She pointed across the stage, to the other side (which I could not see from where I had been) and said "Who IS that guy sitting on the stage?? Should we call security?" Before I even LOOKED, I said "Uh, there ISN'T any security. Except me...." and then turned to look at what Troublemaking Behemoth might be my newest Big Problem....... Edgar. I laughed and said to Jen, "Well, I think you may have heard of that gentleman on the BOMP list......." She was still concerned, so I told her it's usually best to just let him work things out on his own. Sure enough, after a minute or so he just rolled off the stage onto the floor and I didn't see him again. I understand he, uh, Left Sooner Than He Had Planned To. With Some Help. So, where does that leave us? 1) Conolly is in fact subject to the laws of physics, if you doubted it. 2) Hannibal is not. 3) Edgar, plus price-of-admission, equals half-show attendance.

I bet Blair knows! To my knowledge, no actual Rat Bastards tracks were ever released. The band (as it was in November '88: Pete Ciccone - guitar/vocals; Andy G. - guitar/vocals; Steve Baise - bass/vocals; Paul Corio - drums) went into the studio in the week following the Bad Music Seminar presented by Tim Warren/Crypt Records (and, if memory serves, Pete Ciccone may have had something to do with putting it together). The idea was that Billy Childish would produce. [Childish was also supposed to produce New Haven's very cool Double Naught Spys, who included Danny Ly and Mop Top Mike. I know Danny's told me the story about what happened, but I can't completely recall. If he's still on the list, maybe he can tell us.] The Rat Bastards went into the studio and soon had internal problems relating to song lyrics/titles. To some extent I can understand how the faction that became The Devil Dogs couldn't understand why this was an issue, considering the band's name was The Rat Bastards. But I wasn't there when the conversation(s) in question took place; neither were most of the people who've written about the event since. The Devil Dogs have gained greater prominence (especially since they've been gone) than The Vacant Lot in the past 6 years or so. [More on that in a bit.] Many non-musical reasons exist for this as I see it: (a) the D Dogs toured a ton; (b) they were on Crypt, which certainly helped them build a fan base; and (c) they had a great live act. My point? I've read many articles on the Devil Dogs both in fanzines and on the 'Net in the past 7 years or so that basically call Pete Ciccone a jerk. I find it to be unfair. (No, not just because Pete's a friend, either. I happen to like Andy & Steve, too.) There was tension in The Rat Bastards before that recording session ever happened. Getting back to Rat Bastards' recordings. When the group broke up, the split was pretty much Pete & Paul on one side versus Andy & Steve on the other. The reason nothing gets said against Paul (also a very cool guy and a damn good drummer, too) is because he ended up joining The Devil Dogs as their first full-time drummer. Well, Andy & Steve (and Tim Warren, I guess, since it was his dime) wanted to do a record. I don't think they did the whole record over. From what I recall at the time (about 13 years ago now), they erased Pete's parts. Well, probably not all, since a look at the credits in that first D. Dogs' LP shows Pete listed as one of the additional musicians (along with sax guy Pete Linzell, who was in, I think, The Dragsters at that point... or maybe The Cyclepaths; drummer Al Caiati from The World Famous Blue Jays; and guitarist Mike Mariconda of The Raunch Hands, who'd not only produce much of their recorded output, but even joined the band for awhile.) Interesting note: the band wasn't sure what its name was going to be at the start. I believe their first gig was at the Pyramid on Avenue A in March of '89, and it was definitely billed as The World Famous Raunch Bastards, a nod to the fact that the drummer for the night was Al Caiati and that Mariconda was playing guitar with them. Now, some more thoughts on actual Rat Bastards' recordings. Some stuff must exist from the original incarnation of the band (which was as listed above, but with Eric Tretbar - who some know from The Funseekers in Mpls - on drums and a 3rd guitarist, Joey "Psycho" DiCurzio. A bunch of years ago (I'd guess at least 6), Joey was talking about putting out some stuff that lineup did. Unfortunately, he didn't. Ah well. Now I'm wondering if any of the guys in the band have any live tapes. I had some great times at Rat Bastards' shows. I was bummed out when The Rat Bastards broke up, but since Andy & Steve got the D. Dogs into high gear pretty quickly, it was OK. It took Pete awhile longer to really get cooking. I know that Hallowe'en '89 still didn't have The Vacant Lot in high gear, 'cuz I'm almost positive they didn't have what would become known as their classic lineup yet. In fact, former Secret Service (and one-time Pussywillows') bassist Jim Gange was in the group for a bit there. However, pretty soon it became clear that Pete was writing some amazing melodic punk songs with definite garage roots. Paul Corio left the Devil Dogs and joined up with Pete. Also on guitar was Mitro Valsamis (which I've likely misspelled), who'd been in The Bowery Rhythm Kings and would later join up with The Trick Babys. (These days, Mitro records bands at his studio, Uncle Mitro's, which is where Jahna's band, The Demands, has done their stuff.) Brett Wilder (who, like Mitro, would join The Trick Babys) joined on bass. The way I saw it, we'd ended up with two great bands when the Rat Bastards split. Most people outside the NYC area these days are only aware of how great the Devil Dogs were. (And they definitely WERE great!) Unfortunately, few seem to understand that The Vacant Lot were just as good at what they were doing. Sure, it wasn't as hard, but Pete had quite a way with a melody and really knew how to get a song moving. The first recording I remember from The Vacant Lot was on that Brian Wilson tribute, Smiles, Vibes & Harmony. I think Dr. Landy had stipulated that at least one song had to come from Brian's solo LP, so The Vacant Lot did "Meet Me In My Dreams". Personally, I prefer their version to Brian's. (No flames, please.) The Vacant Lot also can be given credit for giving many on the NYC scene at the time their first intro to The Real Kids, via a sped-up version of "All Kindsa Girls". When Norton re-ished The Real Kids debut LP, many people wanted it so they could hear the original version of the song they'd grown to love thanks to The Vacant Lot (who recorded it for the flip of their debut 45, "She Gotta Leave"). I've always thought The Vacant Lot should've gotten their first LP out quicker. In fact, I think they wanted to, but things got in the way. Luckily, they put out a couple other early singles, including one written by Mitro called "(Ride The) Cyclone" ("No matter what I tried / I couldn't get her off that Cyclone ride.") Actually, that first V. Lot LP, ...Because They Can, is pretty damn fantastic. OK, I've said more than I meant to. - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 20:53:46 -0500 From: "James" Subject: RE: Shop Assistants/C86 "What is/was a "C86" pop band? Dave M" In 1986 the New Musical Express put together a promotional cassette called -C86-, which featured tracks by English indie bands like Primal Scream, the Pastels, the Shop Assistants, the Mighty Lemon Drops, McCarthy, Wedding Present, Wolfhounds and Tallulah Gosh, among others. Basically, a group of jangle-heavy UK pop bands influenced by the Scottish band Orange Juice and the Postcard label they were on. The word "C86" has basically become a kind of catchphrase for this style of music -- kind of like the UK equivalent of the terms "love rock" or "K Records-esque." Music scenesters who tend to dislike jangly and/or shambolic indiepop music from England tend to use "C86" as a putdown, though (as in "a C86 band who can't play their instruments."). I love this style of music, personally, but I try to avoid using the term because a lot of musicians who actually play that style hate it (understandably).

Just curious if anyone else found Life on the Line a disappointingly weak followup to Teenage Depression--which I LOVE. I remember seeing them, I think with Nick Lowe/Rockpile and Elvis Costello, and LOTL had just come out. The singer's out there with no shirt and a Daltry hairdo, doing ghastly superstar moves, and Dave Higson, who had a real rockin' feel, is relegated to rhythm guitar while some metal-esque wanker wanked away. A sad progression from a KILLER beginning, seemed to me.

I tried to post this last night but it didn't seem to work, so we'll just try it again. Happy New Year again, and may 2002 be better than 2001 for everyone. Personally, while 2001 was not a great year for me (and not just because of Sept. 11, but for other personal reasons as well), it was a great year for indulging in my passion for 45 collecting. Here, now, is a relatively small sampling (but a LONG list) of some of the 45s I've laid my ears to this past year, direct from the auctions, set sales, record shows and used record stores of America (well, at least Texas and Indiana). Some will have a little description, some will not. All, however, are more than worth years. And if this gets too long for you, the delete button will be your friend. So, here we go: Johnnie Walker: "You're All Mine" (Tollie) This one got a huge number of spins from me. It's a direct Beatle rip-off complete with "Whooo's" produced by Burt Bacharach! Who woulda thunk it? Even so, it's quite a winner, a catchy song with raw, jangly guitar playing that sticks to ya! Bert Convy: "Gorilla"/"The Monster's Hop" (Contender) Two-sided killer novelty tune from the future game show host. Wonder if he recorded anything else. (I do know he was involved with The Avant Garde's "Naturally Stoned," but that's about it.) Joey and Danny: "Rats In My Room, Pts. 1 and 2" (Swan) I've heard that this little stomper was later covered by NRBQ. Can anyone confirm that? The Seven of Us: "Jamboree" (Red Bird) And speaking of NRBQ, this one's a precursor, so I'm told. Stompin' soul garage a la Mitch Ryder. The Eliminators: "The Beetle Bomb"/"Stomp 'Em Out" (Chancellor). Rockin' instrumental with an anti-Beatles theme: "I say, old chap, if you're really my friend, get the Beatle bomb, here they come again!" The Moon Man: "The Moon Man Is Back" (Good Sounds) This guy mumbles something about the Satellite Stroll while the band lays down a raucous groove behind him. The Jordan Brothers: "The Jordan Theme" (Cheltenham) Driving sax instro that fades just as the guitar starts to work out. Ah well..... The Shaggs: "Mean Woman Blues"/"She Makes Me Happy" (Capitol) Previously discussed on this list, this has got a great jangly popper ("Happy") and a mean cover of the Orbison tune. Willie Mitchell: "Ooh Baby, What You Do To Me"/"Lucky" (Hi) Typical Mitchell grooviness. Harvey Russell and the Rogues: "Keep A Knockin'" (Hands) Smokin' cover of the Penniman classic with fuzz guitar that punks it out even further. They later did a cool cover of "Shake Sherrie" as well. The Ban: "Bye Bye" (Brent) (Garage killer) Small Faces: "Whatcha Gonna Do About It"/"What's A Matter Baby" (Decca) (I've always heard The Evil's version has more feedback, but this one's no slouch in the feedback department either. The Buddies: "The Beatle" (Swan)(Poundin' Bo Diddley style instro.) The Blue Banana: "Our Love" (Kanwic) Anyone ever hear of this band? It's a stompin' fuzz rocker recorded in stereo, as the opening bit will make you all too aware of. Tommy Dae and the Tensions: "1967 Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" (Diamond) The Brian Hyland ditty done up Mitch Ryder style. Difference is, when she's afraid to come out of the water, everybody else jumps in with her! Dae was from Boston, I believe, and recorded a lot of stuff for many years, including the righteous psych 45 "I Shall Walk" in 1970. The Five Dops: "She's Out of Mind" (Ger. Polydor) I believe this was a German group, but this is a killer beat stomper! Peck's Bad Boys: "Crazy World" (Scepter)Garage killer. Don Pierce: "Spook-A-Delic" (Majesty) Raw funk. Slim Willis Band: "I Say That" (Reginald) Rawer funk. The Shapes of Things: "So Mystifying" (Laurie) Killer cover of a Kinks tune done by a studio group. The Instrumentals: "Chop Suey Rock"/"Are You Nervous" (Hanover) Where the "Chop Suey Rock" comps got their name. Dave Bartholomew: "The Monkey" (Imperial) "The monkey speaks his mind!" Screaming Lord Sutch: "'Til The Following Night"/"Good Golly Miss Molly" (UK His Masters Voice) (His first and wildest, especially that "Molly" cover.) Lost and Found: "Professor Black"/"When Will You Come Through" (International Artists) Texas band. Out of two singles I've heard, this one's easily the best with killer fuzz on "When Will You Come Through") The Runarounds: "You Lied" (MGM) Great garage. The Pilgrimage: "Bad Apple" (Mercury) 'Nuff said. The Continentals: "Coffee House" (Union) Stompin' instro.) The Chancelors: "5 Minus 3"/"Dear John" (Fenton) (Both sides of this one smoke!) Bubble: "Cho Cho" (Dot)(Great garage rocker in which there are horns but they don't get in the way.) The Runaways: "You Can't Sit Down" (Fine) (Great frat instro cover of the hit by Phil Upchurch and later The Dovells) Luke and the Disciples: "Three" (Fannin') (Great instro.) Dave Berry: "Don't Gimme No Lip, Child" (London) The Sons of Adam: "Saturday's Son"/"You're A Better Man Than I" (Decca) (Smokin' Randy Holden guitar work.. or was it someone else?) Buddy Holly: "Rockin' Around with Ollie Vee"/"I'm Gonna Love You Too" (Coral)('Nuff said again.) The Flares: "Scorched Earth" (Hot Spot) (Instro mayhem) The Chocolate Moose: "The Chocolate Moose Theme" (Spotlite) (Psych-punk mayhem. "Chocolate moose are everywhere!") The Gamma Goochie: "You Got The Gamma Goochie"/"I'm Gonna Buy Me A Dog" (Colpix) Same song The Monkees did on the B. The Golden Nuggets: "Everybody Bird" (Hawk) The Human Beings: "You're Bad News"/"Ling Ting Tong" (Impact) (I've heard this is the same group as The Human Beinz. Any truth to that?) Jimmie Johnson and the Lucky Hearts: "Let's Start A Line, Pts. 1 and 2" (Stuff) Fever Tree: "I Can Beat Your Drum" (Mainstream) (Their more punkish beginnings, I hear.) The Juveniles: "Bo Diddley" (Jerden) (NORTHWEST MONSTER!) Big Jay McNeely and Band: "Psycho Serenade" (Swingin') (When they say "Psycho," they mean it!) The Rocks: "Because They're Young" (Woodrich) Magic Swirling Ship: "He's Coming, Part 2"/"Love In Your Eyes" (Cadet). This Kasenetz-Katz production has Bobby Bloom singing a song he wrote on the A ("Love"), but the B's this crazy psyched-out fuzz workout that's really cool!) Strum: "Time Kinda Drags Me Down" (MC3) Don't know who this is, but it's a nice garage popper that I found for a buck somewhere. Somebody's Chyldren: "Going Back To New York City" (Uptown) Need I say more? __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2002 22:27:50 -0800 From: Rick McCullough Subject: Re: covering themselves years later Neil Young re-did "Mr. Soul" on his Trans album. Some would say he butchered it, but I would never stoop to that kind of mudslinging. -- Rick ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 23:22:01 -0500 From: "Tom" Subject: Re: covering themselves years later > > > It was from Something Anything, wasn't it? > > Yep, side 4 track 3.

I didn't even know they had two consecutive albms. They're not completely non-bomp though. They cover "Soul Finger" on the 45 I have. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 20:55:26 -0800 (PST) From: brian marshall Subject: Favorite Finds of 2001, part 2 Okay, before we took that short break, here's more of my "Favorite Finds of 2001" rundown: Bob Moore and the Temps: "Trophy Run"/"Braggin'" (Daisy) (Stompin' instro guitar madness from Roy Buchannan. The Isley Brothers: "Testify, Pts. 1 and 2" (TNeck) Hendrix is said to have played on this, but The Isleys outshout him! A real soul screamer if ever there was one. Bill Doggett: "The Worm" (Columbia) I'm a Doggett fan, but this one's by far the wildest record I've ever heard from him. Any other Bill Doggett fans out there? Lonesome Sundown: "I'm A Samplin' Man" (Excello) (stompin' rhythm & blues madness) Billy Rat and the Finks: "Little Queenie"/"All American Boy" (IGL) WOW! This has to be the wildest record I've ever heard on IGL! Two sides of crude, attitude-filled garage punk 'n' roll with fuzz scuzz! The Tropics: "Time"/"As Time's Gone" (Columbia) Second only to "This Must Be The Place" as my fave single from this FL band. The Honey Duo Twins: "Come On Baby" (Yam-Bo) Soaring female rhythm & blues produced by Willie Dixon! The Rockin' Rebellions: "Drums and Other Things" (Gold Dust) I had another single by this group that I wasn't too thrilled with, but this instro is a real rocker with a crazed drum solo! Scatman Crothers: "Golly Zonk (It's Scatman)" (HBR) Golly zonk! The Atlantics: "War of the Worlds" (Aus. CBS) (Smokin' surf from down under 1963...somewhere around there.) The Briks: "Foolish Baby" (Dot) (One of my fave garage 'n' rollers of all time) The Dartels: "Clap Your Hands"/"Where Do We Stand" (HBR) Two-sided stomper from the "Hot Pastrami" guys. The Wig: "Drive It Home" (Goyle) (Rusty Wier early band on this smokin' garage 'n' roll punker) Gary Criss: "Good Golly Miss Molly" (Strand) Wild as all hell version of the Penniman classic with murmured vocals and an out-there guitar solo! The Goldberg-Miller Blues Band: "The Mother Song" (Epic) I saw the clip of this group doing this song on the "Hullabaloo" DVD and was stoked to find it. "The only woman in this world you can trust is your mother!" The Majestics: "The Boss Walk, Pts. 1 and 2" (Dunes) (Crazed instro) The Buck Rogers Movement: "Baby Come On" (21st Century) Billy Harner: "Homicide Dresser" (Kama Sutra) The Innovation: "I Can Make It Without You"/"Heartaches and Headaches" (RCA) The Jaybees: "I'm A Loner" (RCA) Sunday Group: "Edge of Nowhere" (Downey) The Mile Ends: "Bottle Up and Go" (5th Estate) Animal Jack: "Gotta Hear The Beat, Pts. 1 and 2" (Prism) This one's bizarre! A man chants "Gotta hear the beat" over and over until it drives him crazy and even the cops can't stop him! GENIUS! Jimmy "Preacher" Ellis and the Odd Fellows: "Put Your Hoe To My Roe" (Round) Sebastian and the House Rockers: "Nobody Can Do The Dog Like I Do" (Key) Big Mack: "Rough Dried Woman, Pts. 1 and 2" (Dawn) Soul Inc.: "The Alligator" (Fraternity) Kim Fowley: "Reincarnation" (Tower) The Morning Dew: "No More" (Fairyland) DDT and the Repellants: "Fly Swatter" (RCA) Joe Dodo and the Groovers: "Groovy" (RCA) UZI: "Morning Train" (Decca) Larry Dowd and the Rock-A-Tones: "Pink Cadillac"/"Blue Swingin' Mama" (Spinning) (Rockin' two-sided rockabilly raucousness) Bo Dudley: "Shotgun Rider"/"Coast To Coast" (F-M) Bo Diddley rip with some really wild guitar playing! The Mersey Men: "I Can Tell" (Diddley cover with fuzz.) The Banana Splits: "The Tra La La Song" (Decca) Savage Resurrection: "Thing In E" (Mercury) The Avantis: "Wax Em Down"/"Gypsy Surfer" (Chancellor) (Pat and Lolly Vegas do surf and do it well) The Church Mice: "College Psychology of Love"/"Babe, We're Not Part of Society" (House of Guitars) Eldridge Holmes: "Pop Popcorn Children" (Atco) Electrified People: "Electrified People"/"One Thousand Dimension In Blue" (Red Lite) (Psycho instro madness on the "Buzz Buzz Buzzzzz" comps.) Jim Duvall and the Gauchos: "Mama, Keep Your Big Mouth Shut" (Dimension) The Royal Guardsmen: "Leaving Me" (Laurie) (The Guardsmen's finest moment before Snoopy got a hold of them. Scored this for five bucks!) And with that, we leave 2002. There were a lot more I could tell you about, but it's late and I'm getting worn out! I hope you enjoyed this list as much as I enjoyed sharing 'em with you. Okay, on with the new year!............
