Ant, whose real name is Stuart Goddard, was committed to the psychiatric ward of London's Royal Free Hospital on Monday, police say. Two days earlier, the Antman was arrested after allegedly snapping at a bar and waving a pistol at another patron. "They've put me in the Alice in Wonderland ward because they think I'm crazy," Ant is quoted as telling Britain's Sun tabloid in a phone interview. "They've sectioned me--I've been here all night. The whole thing's a conspiracy and they're just out to get me. I'm not mad." The 47-year-old Ant was taken into police custody and charged Sunday after a scuffle with another fortysomething man at the Prince of Wales pub in North London. The exact nature of the confrontation is still sketchy. Initial reports said Ant threatened to open fire after being turned away from a private party. However, London's Mirror now says Ant was going after the man because he made threats against the rocker's four-year-old daughter. Ant was rung up on charges of possession of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and with criminal damage and assault. Police had him institutionalized Monday night after receiving a call expressing concern over Ant's safety--relatives were reportedly worried he might be suicidal. The singer was scheduled to appear in Highbury Magistrates Court on Friday, but that date will likely get pushed back. Under Britain's Mental Health Act, doctors will be able to hold Ant for 28 days while they assess his condition. Ant has battled depression over the years--purportedly made worse following the downturn of his career. He reportedly had his first breakdown at the age of 21 and In the early '90s, he spent three months in a clinic after another bout of depression. And last year he suffered yet another nervous breakdown. After failing to find success as a punk band in the late '70s, Adam and the Ants (with an assist from Sex Pistols impresario Malcolm McLaren) reinvented themselves as glam rockers, slapping on makeup and funny suits and scoring a string of hits, including "Stand and Deliver" and "Prince Charming." Adam ditched the Ants for a solo career, topping the charts with "Goody Two Shoes" in 1982 before losing his hitmaking touch. An attempt at an acting career never took off and he went back to recording, releasing the would-be comeback album Wonderful in 1995. He was slated to re-don his vintage highwayman suit and stage an oldies tour of Britain with other '80s pop relics this spring. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 18:48:54 -0500 From: "Blair Buscareno" Subject: work life and fun life collide again So Saturday night, Jahna and I were on our way to that Purple Wizard/Lyres' gig at Club Luxx in Brooklyn... I found myself stopped at a red light on the Bowery, waiting to make a left on Delancey to head to the Williamsburg Bridge. Three guys around 20 cross in front of my car, one with long blond hair. He looks familiar... Uh-huh... Yup. So I roll down my window as he gets to the other side and yell out a last name. It was one of my ex-students, who had graduated 2 years back. Now, I know De is pretty into music, so I had a pretty good feeling he was probably heading to the Bowery Ballroom. Late in the school day today, who knocks on my door, but De himself. I ask him where he was heading at the time (The Realistics at the Bowery) and he asked me. I told him. He said, "Oh, we've been compared to them." Now, I figured he was talking about a local band called The Liars. "No, I know who you're talkin' about. Some writer said we sounded like a cross between The Lyres and The Makers." (What's kinda cool is he remembered me playing _Howl_ for him years ago.) Then he hands me a CD. What CD? "The Best of Little Steven's Cavestomp Garage Rock Band Search: Volume I". Why? 'Cuz his band, Clover, is on it. I'm still flipped out over that one. Psyched, actually. OK, I don't like every one of their songs he's played me, but there are a few I really like, including one that's on their MP3.com page (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/24/clover.html) called "She's Got The Fix". Funny thing is, I remember a version of this that was more Lookout-punk than this one. And I like this one better, 'cuz it's got a real rock'n'roll keyboard part and it's revved better, but still keeps the lead vocal I like, as well as the melody that captured me in the first place. The song on the Cavestomp... disc is pretty good, if a little long. But it's got a keyboard sound that reminds me of certain Beatle bits. (This doesn't surprise me 'cuz I remember either him or their then-bassist coming into class the Monday after Beatlefest at the Meadowlands one year to tell me they'd won the band contest, though they weren't using their regular name.) Anyway, now I'm gonna go out and buy the Cavestomp disc... I already have the tracks by The Mockers and Muck & the Mires, but I'll be glad to have stuff by The Deadites and Purple Wizard. PLUS a ton of other bands that I'll get to hear. (And a couple of them are from pretty damn close by.) Besides, it's only 9 bucks. - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 18:49:24 EST From: YeeYeeMgt@aol.com Subject: Re: Warriors The Furies may have been pussies, but pound for pound, the Orphans were the biggest pussies. That girl gang had some evil potential. If my memory serves me right, somebody in the suburbs of Boston got held captive in a van and got a couple of fingers cut off by some kids saying that they were the Warriors and "you're on your death ride". What was the Joe Walsh song in that movie, was it In The City or At The Station? I can't remember.

Think anybody's gonna show up to a Clover gig expecting to see Huey Lewis and his old cronies. Bomp worthy mention: Huey Lewis' Clover was the backup group on Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True.

This one looks like a winner...it's mostly R&B oriented (and I would recommend it for that reason), but the rockabilly lineup on May 1 is astounding in and of itself.

I actually mentioned that Clover had been used (not to mention 'The Clovers') not long after they formed the band. They didn't seem to care. Hard to blame them, considering how many times many other band names have been used. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 20:01:14 -0600 From: "mohair" Subject: re: Bouncing Jesse From: Steve Coleman : He has seen the bouncing Jesse in fact!

Who knows what collaboration may have foisted upon an unsuspecting and sartorially challenged public eh? ;o) He sure did a great version of "Move It."

I can't remember. MJ >> It was In the City. (the movie's now available on DVD, though it's on the higher end of the price spectrum and the only extra is the trailer). - -DavidH p.s. Here's what our old friends at AMG had to say about the soundtrack: "Shot on location in and around New York City's grimy night-time subways, flaunting a virile cast of unknowns, Warriors remains a '70s cult favorite, featuring violent gang warfare and a perfectly matched movie score. Barry De Vorzon's bone chilling compositions envelop hard rock and sub-disco funk with gritty apocalyptic urge. Conjuring strange film images, "Theme From Warriors," "The Fight," and "Baseball Furies Chase" are testosterone-laden instrumentals, combining sinister guitars and plodding drum work peppered with creepy sounding keyboards. Adding laid-back soul texture is a smooth Mandrill rarity, "Echoes in My Mind", highlighting solid bass lines popping over funky horns and catchy vocals. "In Havana," performed by Kenny Vance with Ismael Miranda, boasts deep-cut ethnic spicing and seamy horn-work dressed in easy rhythms. Memorable audio clips from the mysterious female DJ informing rival factions of the Warriors' brutal clashes are placed between tracks, as well as the infamous battle cry complete with clacking beer bottles, "Warriors...ome out to play-aay!" The film's exhausting conclusion is forever cemented to Joe Walsh's desperate survival anthem "In the City", as our heroes walk triumphantly into a dreary Coney Island sunrise. This dark slice of pop culture was available only on vinyl sources until 1995, when Polygram International released an import version on compact disc. â€" Craig Curtice" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 23:02:17 EST From: JeffSNYC@aol.com Subject: Re: work life and fun life collide again In a message dated 1/16/2002 6:49:55 PM Eastern Standard Time, buscareno@home.com writes: > And a couple of them are from pretty damn close by.) > Besides, it's only 9 bucks Is this disc available at stores or only on the Web? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 22:45:55 -0600 From: "mykel" Subject: Re: Warriors (the movie's now available on DVD, though it's on the > higher end of the price spectrum actually, i picked mine up at best buy for only 9.99...whatta deal!! later np: the solarflares THAT WAS THEN AND SO IS THIS what a great album, i'm thinking mr day might just be my fave vocalist in this big groovy world ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 16:36:33 +1100 (EST) From: Dr Goldfoot Subject: The Intercontinental Playboys Hello Bompers, For the next two weeks you can download some mp3's by Sydney's premier voodoo sexabilly band THE INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYBOYS at: http://www.sbs.com.au/whatever2/music/music.html# "The Intercontinental Playboys, who have been compared to both the Cramps and Roky Erickson and may I add such bands as The Wailers and Sonics. Such comparisons aren't unfounded either, with their reverb-drenched guitars, 'spooky' vocals" Any feedback would be much appreciated. We now return you to your normal scheduling.
