You obviously missed the point entirely. I guess the facts surrounding what the Iron Cross has represented for more than a century before the Nazis never made it through your thick skull, did it? And we're supposed to not wear something because of some people's INCORRECT associations? Let their ignorance dictate what "ornaments" I wear? Yeah, that makes sense. And I don't care if it makes me look "cool" or not. What do YOU wear to look "cool?" I happen to like the fucking thing, so lay off and DON'T tell me or anyone else what anyone should or shouldn't wear. Oh, and my father fought in WWII, too, and he actually LIKES the Iron Cross because he understands its meaning vs. that of the swastika (which I would NEVER wear) and doesn't mix up the meaning behind the symbols like you obviously do. What if the Taliban (or any other hated group - just using them because they're the biggest targets right now) started wearing peace signs? Would you burn yours then? Gimme a fuckin' break.

Here's our list (from what I can remember) 1) the Christmas LPs put out by Firestone in the '50s/'60s 2) Tina Turner "Private Dancer" 3) Herb Alpert "Whipped Cream and other delights" 4) Men at Work "Cargo" 5) Barbra Streisand- too many to pick a single one...they all have her name in the title and her ugly mug on the cover 6) Boz Skaggs - (the one with him on the park bench) 7) Linda Ronstadt "Living in the USA" 8) Hewey Lewis & the News "Sports" 9) Anything by Pablo Cruise We started talking about it because we were discussing how many records that have been out of print for some time are suddenly available again (and on vinyl, in a lotta cases). This is kinda like the Neil Young thread, except these records are good! Here's my list of albums that are essential, but still criminally out of print (officially at least) in America: 1) Tennessee Ernie Ford- Ol' Rockin' Ern 2) The Scientists- "Blood Red River," "Human Jukebox" and "Weird Love" (the Sympathy "Best Of" deal was unsatisfying) 3) The Prisoners- "The Last Four Fathers" (soon to be remedied by Big Beat) 4) Bo Diddley- all the 60's LPs on Chess and Checker (WHAT THE FUCK!!!) 5) Alan Vega- "Jukebox Babe/ Collision Drive" (These 2 records used to be available on one CD) 6) Dead Boys- "We've Come For Your Children" (I guess this is available as an import, but my little sister couldn't order it from the Wherehouse if I told her to, so it is effectively "Out of Print" for most people)) 7) Albert Ayler- "New Grass," "Music Is The Healing Force of the Universe," and "The Last Album" 8) Tav Falco's Panther Burns "Behind the Magnolia Curtain" Until recently this list would have included the Pagans, Buck Owens, Electric Eels, and Merle Haggard.

That was probably the Urinals ("Ack Ack Ack"), an great early So. Cal. punk outfit. It's on their retrospective CD on Amphetamine (sp?) Reptile. (It can also be found on the Punk Territory Vol. 1 CD comp. and probably a dozen pre-CD boots) - -DavidH ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 15:38:50 -0600 From: "Susan Castellon" Subject: Re: Farfisa for sale: Hi, Alyssa forwarded this to me.

I like all the gtr on this cut and have ever since the first time I heard it-"I See The Light" By the Music Ex- plosion. There are sometimes 3 gtr leads or lead/rhythm fills goin' on at the same time, but it's way understated and the cut knocks me out every time I hear the 1st few licks come outta' the speakers. And hear's a leak from the liners to the upcoming Sundazed cd-"I See The Light" was actually the a-side on west coast pressings and Little Bit O' Soul" was the b-side. Go check your copies. West coast presses are designated w/a and b sides and east coast presses (where "Little Bit O' Soul" was the plug side) are designated by lower number on the plug side. I believe both Rick Nesta and Don Atkins are playin' Gretsch Chet Atkins models on that cut. Take those 2 like axes, roll off all the tone on both and add a Fender Jazz bass and a dash of reverb and you have the opening riff to "Little Bit O' Soul". That's why it sounds so full. There's a piece of info I couldn't squeeze into the liners. Just so ya' don't get confused when you read 'em, Burton Stahl came up w/the riff on a Hoffner hollow-body. But they couldn't get a good soud out of it when recording so he used the jazz bass on the record.

Meant to mention the song title in the subject. And Mike F. seems to have found even more differences. Check the archives.

I've known for years that they double-tracked the bass in the Melcher years, but I had no idea they did it with keys! I always thought it was Fang times 2. Or session guys, de- pending on personell. Once again, thanks for the great Cavestomp show! All hail The Cavestomp Redcoats!
