    i hate to beatle a dead horse, with the recent ringo talk, but for my 
money, you can't beat ringo's fills on "a day in the life." that's a great 
point you make about a good fill being much like a good hook, and i think 
this a good example of the same - CATCHY drumming....
    kind of unrelated, but another really good drummer that i like is george 
suranovich - this is the guy that drummed on those post-"forever changes" 
love records.....some really great martial-type drumming, lots of snare. i 
don't know a thing about drumming, but he is doing some kind of march-type 
thing on "willow willow" that's just great. whatever happened to this guy??? 
really good drummer.

Two more great Husker Du instrumentals: "The Wit and the Wisdom" (great

As for music being out, I was considering a couple of Mogwai recordings,

- -Time Fades Away- and -Journey through the Past- are also MIA on CD. -Trans-
isn't available in the US, but it has been issued on CD elsewhere (it's the
only Geffen album not on CD here, even though a lot of people think it's the
best thing Young cut for them. Go figure).

If you look in the usual places, you can get good high-quality boots of
those records on CD. I have -On the Beach- alone, a -Time/Beach- twofer
(with some nice outtakes as bonus tracks), a -Stars/Reactor- twofer,
and -Hawks- alone. All were mastered from vinyl, but the sound is pristeen
with only the faintest needle hiss (and I have to really concentrate to hear
it). And the album artwork for each is reproduced in the booklet fairly
well. I passed on a -Journey- CD boot, only because pretty much everything
I've heard about the record is pretty negative.

And, to defend side two of -Hawks-, it starts off with one of my favorite
"rare" Neil tracks. "Staying Power" is a really cool piano doo-wop number.
Just about the last style of music you'd expect Neil to tackle, but he does
it really well (and keeps it short before it starts dragging). It's a great
pop song for a sing-a-long too: "We've....got... staying power!"  :)
Play it for someone who only knows Neil for his long guitar-heavy freak-outs
and see what kind of reaction you get!

    hey james - 
    i have a CDR of the "on the beach" boot CD, too & i agree, it's good 
soundqualitywise....it's just amazing to me that this album, of all of them, 
has never come out on CD, as it's easily as good. IMHO, as "zuma" - if not 
better. that's something something, too, cuz i totally love the zuma album. 
danger bird flllllllies alllllllone.....
    so let me second james' rec - if the other boots are as good as the "on 
the beach" disc, they are most definitely worth tracking down.
    
    <<And the album artwork for each is reproduced in the booklet fairly

    i have been toying with the idea of scoring this on vinyl - found it 
someplace for $20, but i just can never bring myself to take it up to the 
register! i am sure i will freak out whenever i get back to the store and the 
LP is gone...

    <<And, to defend side two of -Hawks-, it starts off with one of my

    i'll give that LP side another spin - maybe it suffered in comparison 
just cuz i dig the first side of the LP sooooo much. are those tracks 
("little wing" et al) "homegrown" outtakes? they definitely have that 
mid-seventies spaced feeling to them. my prob with side two wasn't so much in 
the quality of the songs, just in the BAND neil had play them, it just had a 
real slick 70s-sessionman vibe to it that just doesn't work with neil's 
music....but that is just my recollection of the stuff, i will give it 
another listen, maybe i'll like it better than i remember....

Folks,

New stuff getting a BIG "thumbs up" this week includes "The Preflyte
Sessions," a double CD of pre-Columbia signing, 1964-era Byrds (on
Sundazed), and "Radio Waves," the Aqua Velvets newest surf excursion, which
was recorded live on-the-air (Milan). Not exactly new but new to us anyway
was Buddy and Julie Miller's terrific "Keep Your Distance" (Hightone), the
rockabilly of the Black Knights, ("20 Years of Highlights and Blackouts" on
Enviken) and the Buffalo Springfield box, which we are finding a mixed bag
needing more time to digest.  Lastly, we only now found the copy of last
year's Andre Williams disc "Bait & Switch" (Norton) in the station library
- -- the "system" initiated last summer numbers and arranges incoming
releases in the order they were received, not alphabetically(!!!) so
nothing can ever be found -- but that disc is great!

As always we say thanks to the artists and labels responsible for producing
tonight's music, and to the loyal listeners who encourage us to air it
every week! (For seven years now, Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast
Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and
106.7 St. Paul. The show also streams live on the Internet, and as always,
our most recent show is archived in its entirety in RealAudio. YOU CAN
LISTEN TO THIS ENTIRE 90 MINUTES OF MISGUIDED GENIUS RIGHT NOW! Just link
up through the RRR web page ANY old time to listen to this noise and catch
Jean and Ron spouting the usual fabrications and preposterous "statements
of fact!")

So enough already -- here's what we played on Friday, January 4, 2002:

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always locally recorded!)
Echomen -- Long Green (Hipsville, Vol. 3: The Return of the Frozen Few;
Kramden)

The Echomen were from Hastings, Minnesota. This was the A-side of their
sole single, released on the Fox label in 1966. Members of this band went
on to form the Bedlam Four of "Hydrogen Atom" fame.

Slow Slushy Boys -- Baby Lou (Make Mine Slushy; Wildebeest)
A-Bones -- That Jim (The Life of Riley; Norton)
Diane Renay -- Watch Out, Sally! (Growin' Up Too Fast; Mercury)
Del Shannon -- Move It On Over (Jump, Jive & Harmonize; Teenage Shutdown)

Jefferson Airplane -- It's No Secret (...Takes Off; RCA)
Buffalo Springfield -- Down Down Down (Buffalo Springfield box; Elektra)
Mamas & the Papas -- Straight Shooter (All the Leaves Are Brown; MCA)
Continental Co-ets -- Let's Live for the Present (IGL Dance Jamboree '66;
Arf! Arf!)

Curtiss A -- Pearls of Wisdom (Just Because We're Not Together Doesn't Mean
I Don't Love You) (A Scarlet Letter; Twin/Tone)
Morells -- I'm a Hog for You Baby (self-titled; Slewfoot)
Ronnie Self -- You're So Right for Me (Ain't I'm a Dog; Columbia/Epic/Legacy)
Andre Williams and Ronnie Spector -- It's Gonna Work Out Fine (Bait &
Switch; Norton)

Blue Mountain -- Mountain Girl (Dog Days; Roadrunner)
Byrds -- She Has a Way (The Preflyte Sessions; Sundazed)
Buddy & Julie Miller -- Keep Your Distance (self-titled; HighTone)

Aqua Velvets -- Bravado (Radio Waves; Milan)
Sir Finks -- Steel Pier (Guitars Don't Argue 7" EP; Wildebeest)
Die Sputniks -- Sputniks Thema (Surfbeat Behind the Iron Curtain; AIP)
Pharos -- Pintor (Pulp Surfin'; Del-Fi)

Black Knights -- Rock & Roll Party Man (20 Years of Highlights and
Blackouts; Enviken)
"Groovey" Joe Poovey -- Move Around (The Big "D" Jamboree Live, Vols. 1 &
2; Dragon Street)
String Kings -- Bloodshot (Bloodshot!: The Gaity Records Story, Vol. 1; Norton)
Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two -- Leave That Junk Alone (Roads Less
Travelled; Varese Sarabande)

And that was that.  Stay tune in two weeks for the "Big Beat Badger
Blowout" -- a show's worth of prime Sixties rock'n'roll and rockabilly --
all from Wisconsin.

Subject: Re: bass & guitar

when it  comes to amazing bass all I can say are two words.... Headless 
Horseman!!! Peter Stuart plays the greatest bass - like a good drum fill. It 
fits in the parameters of the song. It creeps up on you, doesn't overwhem you 
or the rest of the band. But when you notice it, you are knocked on you 
ass!!!!
    I'd nominate the Buzzcocks for some great bass work as well and locally, 
Ken Fox of the Fleshtones and Tom Jorgeson of the Swingin' Neckbreakers. 
    And in a larger note, (Sir) Paul McCartney doesn't get half the props he 
deserves for the seemingly simple bass lines he plays. Try learning them and 
then you realize he packs more bottom end bounce in those songs than a full 
Hefty bag.

Check out the instrumental series that Sonic Youth released on their
own SYR label. Not officially titled, they're known by the first
track on each: 'Anagrama', 'Slaapkamers Met Slagroom' and 'Invito Al
Cielo' or simply SYR 1-3. (there's also 'Goodbye 20th Century, SY's
tribute to the avant-garde). Interesting stuff, although I'm not sure
how many Bompers would be into the longer pieces.

It wasn't actually released in the UK until after they'd become famous. The

still in the top ten guitarists of all time. If I sent you a CD of one of
those live shows (Colin Mohair Sweets will tell ya) you'll hear just how

I'd buy nothing but 7" vinyl were it possible! A lot of younger kids don't
have turntables these days but I'd reckon that most anyone into this type
of music would have one. How else would I play those original sixties
garage and seventies punk 45s?!

It was Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever that was kept off the top spot
by Engelbert's Release Me, a week after knocking Petula Clark's This Is My
Song down to number two. After two weeks at  number two the Beatles were
replaced by Vince Hill's Edelweiss (!), before Harry Secombe's version of
This Is My  Song took over at number two for two weeks.  After six weeks at
number one Engerbert was forced out by Something Stupid by Nancy Sinatra.
All clear now?

OK, three questions:

"Hungry" left in the can with sitar... this may not be true, but I know I 
didn't dream it...

2. You said similiar to "Rock 'n Roll High School" and a good movie and 
didn't I notice in the promos that at least one Ramones song was used in the 
movie?

3. Not to open up a psychological can of worms... but if Ringo was so great

Subject: Re: 7-inchers

Ugh.  Bad memories!  (Sort of.....)

I recorded some stuff on 4-track in 1979.....finally scraped together enough 
$ (it was $500, I think) to get some singles pressed--a full year later, in 
July 1980.  With no idea, of course, what I was gonna do with 'em.  There was 
an ad in the back of the Village Voice for this "studio" which happened to be 
in the Beacon Hotel, next door to the Beacon Theatre in NYC.  Went up there, 
with a CrO2 cassette with two songs on it (that's right...this was BEFORE 
metal tape....!) gave it to the guy......scratched out a label "design" with 
a black Sharpie......

Got a call from him the next day......he told me there was a problem.  With 
both songs being in the six-minute range (yeah, yeah, I know....I hadn't 
learned any self-control yet!) he couldn't fit them on a 45 RPM.  So I, of 
course, dazzled him with my knowledge of exactly how many 6,7,8, and almost 
9-minute songs I had at home on singles......to no avail.  He said the 
pressing plant that he uses couldn't do it.  But they COULD do it at 33 1/3 
RPM.........

Well, okay, I sighed.  Stupidly.  I shoulda looked around more.  But I went 
up there and amended my label-design to include the correct speed in VERY 
LARGE numbers.

Picked 'em up a week later, on a 98-degree weekday evening, with my 
girlfriend in tow.......NYC folks, I'm sure you know just exactly how far you 
have to park from the Beacon Theatre!......finally got all ten boxes (500 
pieces total) in the trunk and, drenched with sweat, headed straight down to 
Bleecker Bob's to "celebrate."  And that, really, is all you need to know 
about ME.... :) .....we didn't go to a bar, we went THERE! (The "old" 
location, on McDougal, just off 8th street.)

I mention this last part only because I, of course, gave the guy behind the 
counter a copy so we could HEAR it.......he really liked the B-side, as I 
recall......and also because I, of course, picked up a whole lot more stuff 
than I had $$ to pay for.  The punch line is:  Bleecker Bob was so thoroughly 
smitten with my girlfriend that he accepted her personal check.  It must have 
been snowing in hell that night.......

(Sidebar:  does anybody remember the name of the counter-guy I'm talking 
about?  This was like, 1980 thru 81.....he was ALWAYS there.  Any time you 
went in, seemingly, but definitely every afternoon.  Looked a little bit like 
Peter Tork, had a similar speaking voice also.  No, it WASN'T Peter....!)

Anyway--I didn't realize till I got home that, in pressing those at 33 
instead of 45, I had effectively and thoroughly aced myself completely out of 
any jukebox play.  What an idiot.  And also, a lot of people who got the 
record (after Cub Koda's glowing review, which I sure wish I could find now) 
played it at the wrong speed, despite what it said on the label.  

Oh well!

 Actually, Wilko wasn't the finest person ever to come from Dr. Feelgood. The 
honor goes to Lee Brilleaux who paid for the start up of one of the greatest 
record labels in history, Stiff.

*** There again this depends who you talk to. I know one member of a band signed to Stiff and they have very little nice to say about the label.
Too, there are those who say that Brilleaux wasn't as nice as is claimed. But it isn't nice to speak ill of the dead, and I never met the guy so. The Down By The Jetty book paints a real nice picture of him tho!

I saw this Johnny Moped CD "Basically" at Bomp
supposedly w/ all their studio recordings on it. It is
29 tracks and includes a live set, their album and
their singles. Does anybody know if their demos which
were originally released as a 7" on Chiswick are on
this CD.

He's a strange one. Denny Seiwell (Wings old drummer) told me that McCartney 
deliberately tunes his A string flat--Denny never asked him why, it's part of 
his style. Not down a half-step, but a little flat. And McC sounds great, out 
of tune bass and all, in just about everything.

Subject: Re: The Adverts "Crossing the Red Sea" remaster bonus tracks

There are four hidden tracks on the CD, right before 
track one (track one begins around 9:48 instead of 
0:00):

1) Gary Gilmore's Eyes (alternate version)
2) Bored Teenagers (alternate version)
3) Safety In Numbers (alternate version)
4) We Who Wait

I have no idea how to get them to play on a standard CD audio 
player, but I was able to digitally extract them on my computer
and burn them to a CD-R.

I can post them as MP3s if you want, lemme know.

I honestly don't remember if any Ramones tunes were used in it--at any rate,
none are listed on the soundtrack.

I generally buy fell lengths if i'm impressed with a band quite a bit.
HOwever if the band seem like good folks and mildly entertain me I'll
certainly buy a 7".  So I think in that sense they definitely are worth
putting out.

Hey! I just looked at one of those Sonys yesterday. Yep, $99 at Best Buy. I've got a Technics belt-driven turntable in the shop right now. Had it for about seven years and the motor finally burned out on me. So it's costing me $151 to get fixed ($38 of that I've already paid), so the remainder of what I owe will be around $113. Not bad, considering Best Buy also had the very same model for $150. So it was a toss-up, but I decided since I'd already paid the repair shop the $38 for diagnostics that I'd go ahead and have 'em fix it.

But man, I've been without that turntable now since mid-December and I'm goin' through some major vinyl withdrawal!!

Gotta admit, though, that CDs are a helluva lot more convenient for doing a radio show than spinnin' vinyl (and unfortunately vinyl releases get spun a lot less frequently than CDs because of it). Cueing up songs on vinyl can be quite a pain in the ass, especially if there's little or no space between songs. And ya feel like a real dope when ya start a 45 off at 33rpm (or vice-versa). Or how 'bout those occasional 12"s pressed at 45rpm? The Hentchmen's "Hentch-Forth" on Italy Records comes to mind). God, if I had a dime for every time I've done that! The worst is when 7"s are recorded at 33rpm (or when the speed can't be found on 'em anywhere). When I see a 7" I immediately think 45. So yeah, a coupla sets worth of back-to-back vinyl and I'm ready to call it a night!

True, but vinyl is also a bit more costly to produce than a demo CDR these days (not to mention harder to sell at your gigs). Especially if you wanna press an LP on vinyl. Usually ya have to order so many of 'em to reduce the per-unit cost that you end up with more copies than you'll EVER be able to sell. Ugh...
