It's available via the Slumberland site (www.dropbeat.com) for 8 bucks. There's also a CD version... See the site for MP3s and more info. The SPs also have two shows coming up: - -- Friday, Feb. 15 at Brownies, NYC -- w/Trembling Blue Stars, Ooberman, Aden (see www.futurepopshop.com/tickets) - -- Monday, Feb. 18 at The Metro, Washington DC -- w/Barcelona, Kleenex Girl Wonder, Allen Clapp from www.indiepages.com: The Saturday People - s/t cd (Slumberland) Really, how could this not be perfect? This band released 2½ amazing singles, all of which are included on this cd, though some are re-recorded (the additional piano in "California Girls" totally changes the feel of the song). And I've been waiting for this cd's release ever since I heard their first single. This is perfect pop in the vein of early Creation bands like Biff Bang Pow!, the Weather Prophets, Primal Scream, the Loft... this band is totally up there with all of them. This is probably the best thing to happen in American jangle pop since the Springfields/Choo Choo Train. Sometimes elegant, like on "Grace" or "Ghost Of A Chance"; sometimes totally shambolic, like on "Slipping Through Your Fingertips" or the opener "No Matter Where You Are"; always wonderful. I thought "Upside-Down Girl" was kinda funny, though - - the way it starts out with the guitar strum, and the words "It's been a hard...", makes it sounds a bit familiar... And "Twilight Story" is still a brilliant song that forces me to dance around foolishly! This is an instant classic! from dropbeat.com: >The Saturday People s/t (Slumberland) CD 'DC's The Saturday People know, understand and revere classic pop, jangling 12-string guitars, angelic harmonies and timeless arrangements. And, of course, they also make it. Featuring an impeccable pedigree boasting members of Velocity Girl, The Ropers, Tree Fort Angst and The Castaway Stones, The Saturday People effortlessly combine 60s folk-pop and soft-rock with power-pop and 80s jangle-pop. Fans of Biff Bang Pow!, Orange Juice, The Grass Roots and The Weather Prophets and the Creation, Pink and Sarah labels should feel right at home with these sweet sounds. The guitars clang and strum, the drums pop along and the stellar tunes put you in orbit. The arrangements are full and effective, supplementing the standard band line-up with added percussion and piano. Its an all around triumph, really, and further proof that quality tunes are always in style and bands need not kow-tow to the latest trends to make relevant music. Eventually it all comes down to classic tunes, great playing and infectious enthusiasm, and The Saturday People have all of that in spades.'

Somehow I sent my message incomplete. I always thought the concept of "Christian Rock" was absurd. After all, isn't Rock and Roll the devil's music? Some years ago, while working part time at a local record store during Christmas, I had several customers buying gifts, and many would ask for the new "Stryper" LP. The store had a big display for Stryper, but some pranksters had placed a bunch of "Slayer" LPs in the racks of the Stryper display. The names are somewhat similar. The lady I waited on was confused when she brought a Slayer LP to the checkout, and I straightened her out, but I wonder how many god fearing teens got a Slayer LP for Christmas? The same night, I sold 3 different Jimmy Swaggart LPs to some guy who said he was buying them for his Momma, and had to chase the guy out of the store with some Cramps on the store stereo when it was time to close. I also had a customer that was sent in by her daughter to buy a Bad Brains LP. Her daughter told her they were a Christian band so her mom would buy it for her.

You could always count on a bunch of bible belting Jesus freaks on hang out in front of the Worcester Centrum back in the 80's distributing pamphlets. I still have one that had "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" on the cover and it went on to list all these dead musicians according to their respective instruments. "Man, imagine what sounds they could lay down!". It went on to say that Jesus did not hate rock and roll music. Hell, he shouldn't, we made a rock opera for him and put Ian Gillan in the lead vocal role. I'd be flattered. I remembered being really drunk and actually having a discussion with one of them. The guy would point out how all the spandex clad, large breasted , and large haried metal chicks looked like whores. (like that was a bad thing). I asked him about the difference between a Jesus groupie and an Aerosmith groupie was. Other than Aerosmith groupie being better looking in spandex and fuck me pumps, I couldn't see a big difference. The phony worship idea seemed the same to this guy. He got flustered and gave up. It was fun watching him stammer. I told him to let his hair grow long, buy a guitar, and maybe, just maybe, he could get some for himself. Didn't the Children of God cult recruit people through sex? I thought I read about it somewhere. I still think Koresh was my favorite. He fucked half of Texas and had them all convinced they were doing it for God. A sick man, yeas, but also a smart man.

You're absolutely right about Rhino Handmade droppin' the ball on these groups Maureen.

An example: "Lies" ("...they're telling me that God's not real...") I also realized that no one has mentioned another song that has some religious references, that was recorded in 1966 by a Bomp-revered group, the Remains. "Don't Look Back," written by Billy Vera, has a decidedly gospel-leaning sound to it, and includes that little aside from Barry Tashian: "The truth is the light, the light is the way....I'll light a candle and I'll pray that the Lord will bless you..." Hope none of the atheists and non-Christians on this list will hold this against Tashian, even if you've never forgiven the song's writer for the dreadful '80s schlock of "At This Moment"... You want me to promise that I will never work for the "other side"?? Which side are we talking about? Are you afraid I might start writing Christian garage rock songbooks for Jack Chick? Are you afraid I might start a Chesterfield Kings-type Christian rock band complete with bowl haircuts, Vox amps and Rickenbackers?

This is the essence of what makes those early songs so danged British in the first place. Try singing "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" by the Kinks without an accent. You can do it, but it won't be "English" anymore. One "faux-Brit" song no one has mentioned is "Hey Little Bird" by the Barbarians. Even though the Beatles, whom they were lampooning, didn't use their Scouse accents in their early songs to the extent of, say, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Barbarians try to pull it off. "Since I saw you standing _thur_..." It's a subtle attempt, but it's there. Compare the Beatles version of "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" to Billy J. Kramer's, and you'll also hear what I mean about the difference in Liverpudlian accents used by Liverpool groups.

This might be the only reason I'd buy a Tull album these days. Great song that sound very little like J Tull. My single is was bought used in 1975, so it's pretty worn out. When they put this on a rarities cd a few years ago, they faded it out half way through its 6+ minutes!! You know there was a time that the Tull was the hot ticket. After Thick As A Brick, the record company thought they could sell zillions of Passion Play. I was working in a record store at the time, what, '73? They were taking advanced orders in expectation of it flying out the door. It finally came out, and no one bought it. Just sat there. Ooooh. Sort of the end of Tull as the top dog.

Fleshtones...coming out with another new record...that's a hot one! No, sorry, no new record. They are still out supporting "Solid Gold Sounds". Remember, this is the band who had to re-record "Soundcheck 2000" as "Soundcheck 2001" cause it took so long for "SGS" to come out. Anyway, the Fleshtones are not to be missed. 99% of the time they put on an amazing show. NYC area Bompers should be aware that the four most exciting men in rock and roll will be at the Warsaw on Saturday Feb. 16th, with the Ton-Ups and the What IV (aka The Vacant Lot doing British Invasion covers). I'd suggest checking out www.fleshtones.org to find out who the opener is for the Columbus gig, but as it doesn't even have the date listed...COLEMAN!!! __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 21:53:52 +0000 From: Steve Coleman Subject: Re: Savage Young Sonics At 12:26 24/1/02 -0600, Moparly wrote: >Spealing of Collectors Choice, they've also reissued a CD of Sonics tapes of >dance shows, etc from 61 to 64 called "The Savage Young Sonics" . Anyone >heard this disc? Is it worth buying??? This disc is great and should be considered as "baby snaps" of the Sonics. It has great charm but, apart from a few tracks by the paint stripping Rosalie line-up, less of the all-out-attack of the two Etiquette albums we all love. You need to put these early tracks in the right context (i.e. kids figuring out how to play Link Wray) rather than making a direct comparison with say The Witch or Psycho. Do that and you will have a lot of fun listening to this disc as I did a mere thirty minutes ago.

NO, but fair point about the "re-channelled stereo" mix Mr K. However, Compactor Studio is no more and the next album is gonna be recorded, obviously, elsewhere. Any suggestions how we can lock the 'Tones out of the control booth and get Billy Miller/Andy Shernoff or Ben Vaughn to produce the next opus? Now with regards to the actual songs on SGS, well IMHO "Test The Flesh" and "Daddy-O" are two of the very best tunes from the boys but "Good, Good Crack" just does not float my boats. Iam Fuzzco may care to disagree with this though as he has been known to stagger (!) home from shows whistling said tune. TIP: If in doubt about the mix, press the MONO button on your amplifier!

When it's the last song they do, and they do it for 10 minutes, it kinda sticks in yer head. Most of the songs on SGS are good songs, however, the production - BITES. If I had it my way, I would trash a third of the songs, replace them with other ones that were recorded, but not included, dump the keyboard tracks on all of them, and force Zaremba to do another stab at the vocals. As far as I can tell, Fleshtones records are like Star Trek movies, every other one is really good, and the one in between, not quite. Still, they are really good guys and consistantly put on the best live shows I have ever seen. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 19:14:16 -0500 From: "Tom" Subject: Just A Rumor > > Ed, I heard Rabbi Schneerson years ago on a talk show-Phil Donahue I think > which lets you know how long ago it was-and he said this "Sex through > sheets(with a hole)" wasn't true. I don't know what his official title was Rebbe (Bomp translation: Big Kahuna) of the Lubavitch sect. They're a movement within Chassidism. If anyone remembers my Christmas mitzvah mobile story, these are the same guys. http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/schneerson.html > but he was representing Ultra Orthodox Jews(I think he was like he Jewish > version of the Pope in that he was the MAIN MAN) in the US. Only among the Lubavitchers, not even among all Chassids, though they're the highest profile sect, at least in NYC. But if Donahue explained all this, half the show would have been gone right there. (and I didn't even get into the messiah stuff) But what if they > did DO IT through the sheets! It might be erotic with satin sheets !!! Just as an example of how ambiguous these things can be, I came across two pages that talked about the same passage in the Talmud, one interpreted it as meaning that sex should be gotten over with quickly (at least for Rabbis), the other thought it was instructions for foreplay. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 19:36:14 -0500 From: "Dave M" Subject: Re: Solid Gold Steve Man, I agree completely, but I've shied away from saying so, because I totally love those guys. Besides, those songs performed live really do rock. I don't know, maybe it's just the live element, but the SGS tunes I've seen them play onstage are just so much more dynamic. The record, by comparison, sounds like a funeral dirge...... Still, it may not be a Solid Gold album, but they will always have the Solid Gold Sound.....

I really wish I weren't so broke right now because there's a Ramparts Magazine on eBay right now from 1971 with an 11 (!!!!) page article on him from that time period. It says "There is a major article, The Second Coming of Bo Diddley (11 pages and six black and white pictures) about his life in 1971 in the San Fernando Valley." Probably answers all kinds of questions about that weird album. I would love to buy this right now, but not for $14.00, which is what the guy wants. Why don't one of you buy it and scan it in for the rest of us! http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1504853031 And while you're at it, why don't you buy yourself a '68 Plymouth GTX and let me borrow it indefinitely...
