Excellent sound and packaging, and lotsa great tunes, from their early folk rock stuff which is like the Beau Brummels and Byrds, Dylan, early Beatles and Searchers, up to their later psych stuff like " Orange Rooftop of Your Mind " which is still a fave. That Long Ryders " Anthology " on Chronicles is a solid collection too ... neat notes n' pix, great sound, and features a lot of great material ... " 10-5-60 "," Masters of War " (tho' I'm still kiunda partial to the Talismen's version ). The Long Ryders, like the Blue - Things, definately require checking out ... and that Byrds " Preflyte " set on Sundazed is incredible ... unbelievable beautiful packaging, that includes 2 neat postcards of Byrds songbooks, and really detailed notes, along with great sound and some amazing music ... one of my top ten re-issues of the past year !!! back to fighting with the printer ... maureen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 08:06:37 -0600 From: "Kip Shepherd" Subject: Pandoras question Hey!

Only months before the kick-off of a ''New Romantic'' tour that threatens to revive shoulder pads and flicked fringes, one singer billed for the reunion concerts was committed to a mental asylum and others were embroiled in a legal dispute. If that's not bad enough, yet another big-name British chart-topper during the decade when the moonwalk and acid-wash jeans were popular appeared in court Wednesday charged with drunken driving. British newspapers splashed banner headlines Wednesday that Adam Ant -- a flamboyant star famed for hits ''Stand and Deliver'' and ''Goody Two Shoes'' -- was committed to a psychiatric ward following an arrest for the possession of a firearm. The Sun newspaper said the singer, a headline act for April's ''Here & Now Tour 2002,'' called its staff from the secure ward where he is held and insisted: ''I'm not mad. They've put me in the Alice in Wonderland ward because they think I'm crazy.'' Meanwhile, former members of Spandau Ballet, spinners of mega-selling lush romantic ballads and rivals to Duran Duran in their day, could be heading back to court in a tussle over use of the band's name. Newspapers reported that Gary Kemp and the band's original manager are suing Tony Hadley to block him from using the band's name for the April tour, scheduled to swing across Britain. A spokeswoman for the Here & Now tour, which also features Belinda Carlisle from the Go Go's, Howard Jones and ABC, said the show would go on: ''We're not making any changes to the current line-up and the concert is going ahead as planned at this moment,'' the spokeswoman told Reuters. Dark headlines for some of the 1980s brightest stars - -- Adam Ant wracked up 15 top 10 hits in the UK -- follow a spate of high-profile arrests and convictions of other top-selling 80s pop heroes. Former ''glam rock'' star Gary Glitter served half of a four-month sentence in 2000 for collecting hard-core child pornography and received death threats while in prison. Pop impresario Jonathan King, who topped the charts and discovered several acts including Genesis and 10cc, was jailed for seven years last November for having sexually abused teenage boys. And Welsh rock 'n' roller Shakin' Stevens, one of Britain's biggest male solo acts in the 1980s, appeared in an English court Wednesday charged with drinking and driving following his early morning arrest on New Year's Day. But it's not all doom and gloom for British stars who once battled Madonna (news - web sites) and Michael Jackson for pop supremacy. Boy George has triumphantly returned to the limelight with his West End musical ''Taboo,'' a show featuring 16 new songs written by the former Culture Club lead singer. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 10:02:17 EST From: Jesskty@aol.com Subject: Sleazefest West Hey all...

It was great watching MTV in the afternoons back in 1985 & 86 seeing these commercials. My favorite two songs by them are are "Too Close to the Light" and "Two Kinds of Love." I could almost swear that it could be the Byrds. NOTE: Thank you all for this listserve. It is most gratifying to find out that there are people with an exact similar musical mindset, as opposed to the generic interest of alternative rock. This listserve allowed me to be able to buy a CD and hear a live performance from the Mockers. It also allowed me to be able to finally purchase a Farfisa Organ, due to Jason Gentry's post on the Bomp List last week.

The Ted Lyons & His Cubs clip is what they show in Ghost World. It's fantastic. The singer (Ted?) is amazing. He's got this great pencil moustache a la John Waters and his dental work leaves something to be desired but it only adds to the, uh, "atmosphere" of the number. And the choreography looks like it was based on the Jet Screamer episode of the Jetsons. You could pull a neck muscle with all that head shaking.

Sleazefest is the brainchild of the former owners of the legendary Local 506 nightclub in Chapel Hill, NC and Rick Miller (Southern Culture on the Skids.) While the club was sold in August of 2001, their spawn is set to live on, so for it's 9th birthday, we've decided to give the kid a trip across the nation and bring the madness west. Frankly, not even that big ass bay will be enough to wash away the sins it will inspire. In addition to the diverse mix of garage, punk and psychobilly bands, we're bringing other highlights from this continually sold out event. Jump in, lock down and show off your goods in the Go-Go Cage and be sure to enter our annual contest for King and Queen of Sleaze... Ronnie Dawson, Southern Culture on The Skids, The Fleshtones, Man... Or Astroman, Nashville Pussy, The Quadrajets, Whiskeytown, Nine Pound Hammer and Drive-By Truckers are just a few of the bands who have laid crowds to waste during this three day extravaganza of debauchery. This year's line up features bands from all over the nation and we expect to continue this grand tradition of no holds barred rock and roll. So strap on your chaps, bust out the garter belts, button on the bustier, and have no fear, you'll be in baaaaad company! Advance tickets available NOW via Ticketweb (credit card only, 866-468-3399 or http://www.ticketweb.com ) and at the club day of show only.

The media quoted the local police as saying that they had earlier questioned the woman, a 28-year-old from Tokyo, after she was found Nov. 10 at a landfill site in Bismarck in neighboring North Dakota. She told the police that she had come to search for the buried money from the 1996 film and showed them a crude treasure map she had drawn based on the film, in which a character takes ransom money and buries it. The woman is believed to have then traveled to the film's location, the town of Fargo, also in North Dakota, and searched for the buried ransom. She may had died from exposure to the cold as she was dressed lightly, the police said. The police said there is no suspicion of a crime as the woman's body showed no sign of injuries. The woman entered the United States in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Nov. 7, according to combined reports from the local police, the Japanese consulate in Chicago and the media. The Japanese consulate declined to identify the woman. man, i guess i should call off that richard benjamin 'scavenger hunt' foray i've been contemplating all these years.... off to austin, mick *juiceisgood _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 14:43:52 EST From: DaGreasyChicken@aol.com Subject: Fuzzco knows Zep fuzzzco66@yahoo.com writes:<> Gotta ruin your lack of Zep knowledge rep, here's 3 LP titles for you: Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II Led Zeppelin III Don't even get me started on all of the Chicago LPs I can name, Andre ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 14:50:34 -0500 From: Rat Pfink Subject: Re: more coen offshoot There's a detailed write-up at http://www.snopes.com/: http://www.snopes2.com/horrors/freakish/fargo.htm At 01:01 PM 01/16/2002 -0600, you wrote: > >not sure if anyone saw this or not, but since the coen brothers are a hot >topic around here now, thought i'd put it up: > >12/10/01 - Japanese woman dies hunting for 'Fargo' treasure in U.S. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 15:13:10 EST From: Shake6677@aol.com Subject: died pretty... any fans? also, how is the *pre deity* cd that citidel put out? lee/dead flowers - --- http://fade.to/DeadFlowers http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/rosesonyergrave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 15:19:38 EST From: Tthunders@aol.com Subject: Re: Pandoras question I'd say yeah, pick it up, although I gotta admit I don't listen to it much, it was one of those things I picked up when buying a bunch of stuff so I haven't given it that good of a listen.

"Mirror Blues" is terrific and so is "Desperate Hours". Melissa and I listened to Died Pretty quite a bit when we first started dating. "Blue Sky Day" is still one of her favorite songs. I always prefered "Stoneage Cinderella".

The "Pre Deity" comp collects the early singles. This is 1980s Australian rock n'roll at its best and most crucial. Their sound is dark and moody, yet positively melodic, revolving around hypnotic organ grooves, screeching shards of guitar, and tremendously passionate vocals. As for their influences, first-album Velvet Underground, "Blonde On Blonde"-era Bob Dylan, Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse, early Pere Ubu and Television are often cited, as well as 1960s psychedelia. Two early LP masterpieces are "Free Dirt" (1986) and "Lost" (1989), both produced by Rob Younger/engineered by Alan Thorne. For a complete picture of the Australian rock n'roll scene, I cannot recommend these albums and singles enough.
