Since this was covered in detail the other day, we'll make this one brief: New York BOMPers, Stompers and otherwise, please come TONIGHT AT 10PM to CBGB's to see MICHAEL LYNCH AND THE LYNCHMEN and their 1960's-inspired music. 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. Michael Lynch - Guitar and lead vocals Ken Anderson (of The Rooks) - Drums and vocals Doug Mayer (of The Contrarians) - Bass and vocals PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS Thanks. Hope to see/meet some of you tonight. - ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 15:51:45 -0600 From: Joe Emery Subject: re: long ryders i loved that band. i'd say you can't go wrong w/ anything of theirs, whether it be a comp or any of their original records. all great stuff imo. faves include i had a dream, ivory tower, capturing the flag (awesome tune!), 10-5-60 (although i have no idea what it means), harriet tubman's gonna carry me home, join my gang... joe > > 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.

It takes the piss out of homophobia AND political correctness with a panache and razor-sharp sense of humour I haven't seen in an English-speaking movie for ages. No rock'n'roll soundtrack that I can recall, but hey, that didn't detract from it in the slightest.... Also, "Series 7" - has anyone seen this satire of reality TV shows? Jesus, talk about BLACK humour. I don't generally watch reality TV (preferring unreality, myself) but this film duplicates the dodgy production values, the ridiculously serious contestants, the shamelessness and general lack of any redeeming features that are so central to this TV genre... except the contestants all kill each other as an added bonus! I must admit, I was one of the few people in the cinema who was laughing (or should that be cackling?) throughout this movie, but I thought it was a rip-snorter! It had a crap 'heavy rawk' soundtrack from memory, though... still, it was kind of appropriate for the subject matter.

Hi, Someone, I think it was Jahna of the Demands, posted her band's upcoming tour dates and one listed them as playing the Court Tavern soon with the Detroit Cobras as co-headliners. I asked Dennis of the Blisters about this today (he books the shows there) and he knew nothing about it. Can whoever it was that posted this tell me more? Dennis is interested in booking the Cobras.

I hope I didn't miss too much :) The Anderson Council are on hiatus as we're all writing material for the new record, and Jim Charles, our lead guitarist - came down w/ Appendicitis and has had his appendix removed this past weekend. We're hoping to have a bunch of new material together for our gig in Chicago in April during the Chicago International Pop Overthrow festival. LASTLY: Also - Harry Joyce passed away. Harry Joyce was a legend in tube amplification. He designed amps for Sound City before leaving to make HIWATT amps that were used by Townshend, Gilmour, etc...

Absolutely. I also recommend this one very highly. Be prepared to be a little depressed, though, if you think about it too much. I mean, has society really come to this?

It was recorded live in Japan in Nov. of 2000 and is a pretty hot CD. Has anyone else heard this? It's got the original lineup of Mick Green, Johnny Spence and Frank Farley. *** Yep, I got it Jeff. I guess I should review it too so I'll give a short one here. BUY IT! BUY ANYTHNG WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP! Actually it is quite expensive as those Japanese releases usually are. Frank is not very well and hasn't done the last couple of shows with the guys. He suffers from a respiratory problem. They kick pretty well tho considering they hadn't been playing back together very long. Trippin' Elephant also did a Wilko Johnson Band (in fact I think it was recorded the same night) release as well that is the same as the Pirates but with a red cover! I guess you have to see it but Kopper will know what I mean. Also very good. My only gripe w the CDs would be that they don't sound intimate enuff. Pretty hard to top the Nashville side of Out Of Their Skulls or Wilko Live In London. Still Pirates and Wilko nuts will want them both. No doubt in my mind. Mine came with stickers. What about yours Jeff? Anyone heard the KWACKER EP Mick did w TMGE? Pretty rockin' and MGE almost keep up w Mick.

I just got Ian to sign my copy as well a few months ago in Louisville, really dug his show. Re: Rushmore / Royal Tenenbaums, I thought these two movies were *extremely* good and very to the point theme-wise. Max Fisher was into all kinds of cool fringe stuff (calligraphy/bee keeping). When Bill Murray asked him "what's the secret Max?," he replied "find something you love and do it for the rest of your life." Sounds like record collecting or er, rock 'n' roll.
