After all, think how much harder it would have been for Island to mass market a simpler "stripped back" product?

Both sides are pounding beat-punkers and have appeared on compilations. The second is a rendition of the Berry Gordy song via the DC5 version; the flip takes on the "Long Island" sound (Rascals, VFudge etc.).

With the now two-CD, digitally remastered The Velvet Underground & Nico (Deluxe Edition) (Polydor/UME), released March 5, 2002, yet another generation will be astonished to discover rock's original cutting edge. New fans will also discover the original album's famous Andy Warhol-designed peelable banana gracing a special digipak version. Disc One includes the originally released stereo version of the album, marked by the classic tracks "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Venus In Furs," "Run Run Run" and "Heroin." Appended are the five selections from Nico's subsequent 1967 Chelsea Girl album which reunited her with VU's Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison. The result is a complete portrait of the group's first recorded line-up. Disc Two brings together the band's own mono mix (issued on CD for the first time in the U.S.), the mono singles "All Tomorrow's Parties"/"I'll Be Your Mirror" and "Sunday Morning"/"Femme Fatale," and the previously unreleased "Miss Joanie Lee," recorded at a January 1966 rehearsal and likely the group's earliest recording in existence.> Bink ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 11:58:30 EST From: Redlabour@cs.com Subject: Re: The Paisley Underground Compromise Greetings, The Bangles continued to make beautifully crafted hook driven pop songs, but they ruined it with the likes of "Walking Like An Egyptian."

In the mid 1980s, I would have sworn that the Bangles were better than the Go Go's. Today, I think that the Go Go's were better. The Three O'Clock did wonderful 60s psychedelic material with the occasional 80s synthesizer to add a new wave flavour. "Sixteen Tambourines" was great. "Arrive Without Traveling" was pretty good too. Although I was disappointed with "Ever After" in 1987, I think it was quite adequate for that year. In 1988, I detested "Vermillion." I still detest "Vermillion" to this day. Although I always thought that the Long Ryders sounded way too country at times, they were an energetic paisley underground power pop band. I like "Native Sons." They had good Byrds-esque Rickenbacker jangly guitar and vocal harmonies. Their follow up, which title escap[es me at the moment from 1985, had decent songs as well. I really like "Two Kinds of Love." "Two Fisted Tales" was alright.

While I do prefer his more "out-there" albums ("Fried" is still my favorite) I do think that his songs really lent themselves to that kind of overdone 80s Lincoln Tunnel Snare Drum sound. I LOVE "St. Julian", and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I'm as glad that they used that BIG SOUND on that one as I am that they DIDN'T use it on "Fried" or "Autogeddon." Hell, if "Spacehopper" doesn't have you jumping around the room, there's somethin' wrong with your feetses. >> Count me in as another "St. Julian" fan. Yes it has that big "modern rock" sound but it's dated FAR better than anything he did with the Teardrop Explodes. Saw him opening up for the 3:00 when he toured that album (don't remember if he did any Teardrop songs - I wasn't that familar with their repertoire at the time - but he did play some earlier solo tunes such as "Reynard the Fox") and was not disappointed. Can't say I was as big on "My Nation Underground" though. (I liked "Droolian" and "Skellington" but I lost track of him during the rest of his tenure on Island and American). I also noticed that, when I left before the 3:00 came on, I wasn't the only one leaving... - -DavidH ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 18:32:32 +0000 From: "Mimi la Twisteuse" Subject: view a scopitone here! I've just visited the site for the label Disques Mérites and I thought some of you might be interested. You can view some scopitones by Les Classels and purchase cd reissues by Les Misérables, Les Lutins or Les Sultans, etc. at a cheap price if you're in the States. Cool site! http://www.disquesmerite.com/ Unfortunately, the mp3's are not free!

The most common thing that gets edited from "broadcast" versions of R&R HS is the Riff Randall smokin' a joint and hallucinating that the Ramones are singing to her in her bed and bath. In addition to the nasty drug reference, P.J. Soles appears (gasp) in her underwear, which is pretty tame by today's Baywatch/MTV standards. Too bad because it is one of the funnier scenes in the movie, complete with Dee Dee playing the bass in the shower while the water's on. And the music is one the best Ramones ballads, "I want you Around" delivered in classic Joey meets Peter Noone. and yeah, AMC is a shadow of it's former self. I guess this means Turner Classic Movies wins. for unexplained mysteries, I'm Moparlary In a message dated Sat, 12 Jan 2002 2:11:43 AM Eastern Standard Time, "cozmikdebris" writes: > > Tonight was the first time I've ever seen this.
