If you dig the Barbarians, Other Half, Shadows Of Knight, Cyrkle, Byrds, Kinks, Raiders, Brian Wilson, and all points in between, it's a safe bet you'll take a liking to Michael's music. Three bucks will get you a half hour's worth of ear candy.

We also cranked the very satisfying Wailers live "At the Castle" disc on Norton (which is not new-new but just exhumed from the station library, where it has apparently been languishing, unbeknownst to us). 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!

It's a pretty good read so far, kind of a glam rock version of Keroauc's On The Road. I was surprised this was still in print. I found it on amazon.com. Any body else ever read it? Yeah, I have a copy of the Mott book. I'm a huge fan. Just saw Ian recently at the Paradise and got to hang out with him after the show. Also, saw him years ago at the same venue with Jeff (Monoman) and again, we hung out backstage with him and I had him autograph my copy of the book. It was a real thrill for me.

It seemed to me that all it was, was griping about how shows didn't go well or didn't come off, then gleeful stories about cool guitars they found in pawnshops, then they got on a plane. Repeat over and over again. I know that's what touring is all about, but I also expected some juicy stories about debauchery and general rock and roll excess. They were hanging out with Bowie and such. And there's not enough about the music either--more bitching about promoters and drooling about cool guitars, over and over. I think it's about the more boring rock book I ever read. Not the worst; I didn't hate it, but I had trouble working up the enthusiasm to finish it.

Does the clip in Ghost World feature an over the top musical production number with Ted Lyons & His Cubs where everyone is wearing Lone Ranger type masks? I saw tape of the Cramps on some local LA video show from about a decade ago where they showed this clip, and have seen them mention Ted Lyons as an influence in interviews.

Yes, but several years ago. The bit I particularly liked was when Mott hit an American town they would visit the local "thrift stores" and look for old equipment and records. At one point, I seem to remember, Hunter is going on about the merits of Buffalo Springfield. Obviously Mott were all A+++ Bompers.

Sure, come round and we can have another laugh at how pissed-off Mike's teenage son feels about his dad going down to the basement in the early hours, getting drunk, playing rock'n'roll, and keeping him awake for the rest of the night. Like, "Thanks for the consideration, Dad!" If each generation rejects their parents mode of life then that kid is definitely gonna become an accountant. What you get is a fly-on-the-wall type documentary about Mike's early day's in Brooklyn, his arrival in the UK in the seventies, hooking-up with the Count Bishops (calm yourselves Jeroen and Colin!), the time he *nearly* joined the Sex Pistols, lots of clips of the present day Cannibals rehearsing and playing onstage, plus Mike pontificating about "garage rock" complete with torn/painted t-shirt and strategically placed dustin with the word "trash" written on the side. All in all a very amusing slice of TV. In fact, it should be syndicated all around the world for educational purposes with the sub-title: "Kids, feel yourself lucky that your dad is not as deranged as this man!"

Someone had snatched up a copy that was selling for 18.99 at Media Play, so I figured it was still a good price. When I took it up to the counter it rang up at 12 bucks. Lucky deal. I had had the first album in its reissue on former producer Matthew Katz's label. Didn't sound bad, but had nothing in terms of liner notes and from what I've read, I really hated helping to line the guy's pockets in retrospect. The first thing I noticed is that this copy of the CD had an "Explicit Content" label. This was fairly amusing, but in a way accurate, as a lot of the studio banter included on the 2-disc set was peppered with four-letter words. In any case, it really is worth tracking down. I'm sure there are still stores that have unopened copies gathering dust behind the "other" Moby section. Dave __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 12:08:00 -0800 (PST) From: David Coyle Subject: Re: Turtles/Byrds/Long Ryders Well, then, I'll be the second to mention "Can I Get To Know You Better?" That was one I was trying to think of when I posted my short list of Turtles favorites. That too is a bit racy for the times if you think about it, even though they do specify that "one little kiss will tell me what I wanna know about you." As for the rest of the song, you get the feeling that "one little kiss" is the least he wants. I like the entire "Happy Together" LP, which is the one where they made the full transition from folk/protest rock to pure radio-friendly pop. It's the one with "Guide For The Married Man," but the horn-laden opening track "Makin' My Mind Up" would not have sounded out of place in some swingin' '60s soundtrack. There's also the delicate Warren Zevon gem "Like The Seasons," which I think was also recorded by Zevon (with Lyme & Cybelle) on the flip of "Follow Me." There's also the druggy goofiness that they would later fully explore on the "Battle Of The Bands" LP, here represented by "The Walking Song" and the ultra-campy "Rugs Of Woods & Flowers" (I know part of that title's wrong, I don't have the CD handy). It sounds like a takeoff on Richard Harris, although I don't think "McArthur Park" had been out yet. I know the other night I was playing the CD in my car, and when the song came on, my girlfriend asked "Is that Adam Sandler?" The bonus tracks on the Repertoire edition are great, too. Including "So Goes Love," "Grim Reaper Of Love" and "You Know What I Mean" (the latter a challenging singalong). There's also yet another alternate mix of "We'll Meet Again," which is even less reverent than the Byrds 1965 LP version. The kazoo break is a classic! That said, I just recently finally picked up the new Byrds "Preflyte Sessions" disc from Sundazed. It has two versions of their original recording of "You Showed Me." Comparing both of those with the well-known Turtles version, I would have expected the Turtles to do the song in the style the Byrds did it, instead of the other way around. I have never heard anything by the Long Ryders, but I'd imagine I'd be a belated fan if I were to pick up a compilation. Sounds like they're right up my alley, given my predilection towards "Sweethearts"-era Byrds, Buck Owens, and most of the current alt-country bands. Would the 2-CD "Looking For Lewis & Clark" collection be overkill at this point?

Me and Sara are playing a gig (under the name "the Stacks") that the Sleepyheads had booked on Feb 9 but we're just not as good without the organist. (Don't tell.) I don't know; we've only rehearsed once with the drummer, some of it sounded pretty good. I just heard the Woggles are coming to town and they asked the Sleepy Heads to open! Shit... Send more recordings when you have them.

Exactly - it was what made them special, and made them different from the other "paisley"-era bands. I wouldn't call them TOO country 'tho. Anybody who saw them live will testify that they were one of the most energetic bands on stage. It such a shame that they gave so soon. In fact it made Sid Griffin a somewhat 'bitter' person, at least that was my impression when I saw him later on with The Coal Porters, and nobody was interested anymore. As a person he's so much different than his (only?) peer from those days, Steve Wynn, who will continue regardless. Wheter 10 people turn up or 500, this man just goes for it. But I'll always cherish those Long Ryders live shows, and wonder if this fame ever spread across the USA? > > I'll just add that there was also a version by J.J.

In fact, most of the stuff on this CD suprised me. There's also an uptempo version of "Here's a heart" on it, that never came out. What puzzles me is that THE LYRES version seems to be based on this one. Is Monoman in the posession of an actetae of this or something, or was the "slow" Dave Dee etc. version simply arranged him. Does anybody know the full story on the Lyres' Here's a heart version?
