Goodness gracious, what brilliant stuff! Speaking of comps, I'd like to bring to your attention a new one called "Vive le Québec...dans le vent" on Echo 67 records from France. Great tracks by Québec bands from the 60's, not all of them in French. Most of them have never seen the light of a compilation before and it is worth the buy even if you thought you've had about all the French music you can handle! Included is Les Sinners' fantastic "Groovy Time", as heard in the movie "Kid Sentiment"! Not as snotty as "Nice Try", but quite a killer! Ultra Chicks volume 6 is also out, haven't heard it yet tho...

Goodness gracious, what brilliant stuff! "Ultra Chicks volume 6 is also out, haven't heard it yet tho... Mimi" I have it. New (slightly different) CD packaging. Great version of "Iko Iko" in French, which is interesting, because parts of the Dixie Cups' original were in French, too, I think.... I also have a neat comp of French-language 60's cover versions called -Histoires de Filles-. Basically big 60's pop hits like "Rescue Me," "You Can't Hurry Love" and "Satisfaction" sung by female pop singers in French. I can't tell if the singers are from France or Canada, though (there are no liner notes; it's basically a bootleg).

Btw, D'lana and her husband James are currently living in Dallas, nice folks, met 'em recently in Austin @ a Feast of Snakes show. Feast of Snakes are definitely a Dallas supergroup, as Alex Cuervo (Blacktop/Gospel Swingers/Now Time Delegation) and Hank Tosh (The Deadites) are also in it. Damned rockin' too!

Caddy Shack didn't condescend. Caddy Shack has memorable scenes and lines. So what if it's low-brow and crude? What the fuck do you think your beloved garage rock or CBGB punk-rock is?

One of the latest Scorcese movies, It had two Clash songs, a few Van Morrison songs, and central-to-the-plot use of Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory." He always has a lot of good music in his movies. Apparently he would blast the Clash on-set during the making of -Raging Bull-. The movie was just OK. It seemed to me that Scorcese, like a lot of directors lately, was being lazy and using our pop music heritage as a cultural shorthand to tell us how we should feel or what's going on in the scene. It's easier to buy the rights to "Born To Be Wild" and play that to illustrate your characters exhiliration at taking a road trip, than it is to show us why we should care some other way. Or am I just totally wrong?

Yeah, I'm a real fancy pants...yeesh. For the record: A) I never said I didn't like "Caddy Shack". "Caddy Shack II" is another story, though. B) If I recall correctly, quite a few of the original punks were former art school students. C) The fact that a movie isn't low-brow and crude doesn't necessarily mean it's only suitable for pseudo-intellectuals and snobs. Would I be correct in guessing that you're not a fan of the Coen Brothers' films either? At 09:48 PM 1/11/02 EST, you wrote: > >Caddy Shack was funny. Caddy Shack didn't condescend.

I've heard the same criticisms made about the Coen Brothers films that you're making about "Rushmore": overly-intellectual and condescending, especially in reference to "Barton Fink" and "The Hudsucker Proxy". I'd have to say that I've found Wes Anderson's films to have more in common the Coen Brothers' work than either have in common with the average Hollywood piece- o-shit (I haven't seen "The Royal Tennenbaums" yet but I thought "Bottle Rocket" and "Rushmore" were both pretty good.)

Hmm. I like Rushmore and Caddyshack. Sometimes I can be a real film snob, but at least I TRY not to pigeonhole my tastes too badly, otherwise I might miss out on something really good. It's like comparing a film like "Seven Samurai" to "Attack of the Mushroom People". Remember that Akira Kurosawa and Inoshira Honda were best friends AND great admirers of each other's films.

Cage is every bit as overexposed as he is guilty of over-ACTING. I just can't take him anymore; he's done so many laughably bad performances lately. As for "Bringing Out The Dead," it's the weakest Scorcese flick I've seen in ages, maybe ever. BUT... for an EXCELLENT treatment of the same scenario, check out the far superior "Broken Vessels," released a full year prior. Excellent flick.

I had "surfin" & it stunk IMO. "Beach Party" on the other hand (I kept) is LIVE & WILD! Really Raw versions of his hits plus a few lesser known cuts. Other Bo Chess titles hard to come by but highly recommended: "Originator" LP (White cover w/ trademark guiar & stool)* excellent lesser known cuts! >> Including extremely odd songs like "Africa Speaks" and "A Background To A Music." <<"500% More Man" LP (White border w/ plants & guitar I think..)Another odd one w/ great lesser known tracks... >> It was a white border with a photo of a statue in the park... I should also mention that Chess confusingly issued two different albums called BO DIDDLEY (the first one has a color shot of Bo and drummer Frank Kirkland, the second has Bo's name in raised letters). Both are recommended highly. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2002 #28 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
