[By the way, this is the same night Red Planet & Sylvain Sylvain play Don Hill's, but that can be dealt with on Saturday evening.] Maybe the trick is to drive down to Jackson, NJ's Ocean County Library on Saturday afternoon for Deke? Then hop back in the car, head to Brooklyn to Club Luxx (http://www.clubluxx.com) for an 8 PM show with Red Planet and Sylvain Sylvain before running back to Manhattan for Jahna & the Demands at 12:30 AM at Acme Underground. My only problem with all this is that I've got to be up at 6:45 AM on Saturday to take the school bowling team to sectionals. So...

This system is basically cubes 15 inches deep and 16 inches high & wide. You can buy one cube , 2 cubes or 4 cube units. They can be easily rearranged in any configuration you want & are also easy to add on to later. And you can add optional glass doors if you want. There is a bit of wasted space since they're about 3 inches higher than you really need but I have 24 of them & they've worked out great. The problem with using Ikea bookcases for the LPs is the weight of the LPs can cause wide shelves to sag in the middle. I've also had the metal support pins used for the shelves tear out of the sides (which are just fibreboard) under the weight of heavy books. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 08:42:04 -0600 From: "Kip Shepherd" Subject: Re: Yee Yee(again) >From: yardleygrl@aol.com >No, I don't think Rodney Yee has recorded any music, but I think he's just >as >pertinent to this list as Britney,Tiffany,etc...that's right,not pertinent >at >all-I just thought we females deserved some drooling time,too. --NN > Hmmmm, I was joking about Yee making any records, I guess it wasn't as funny as I thought it was.

This system is basically > cubes 15 inches deep and 16 inches high & wide. I'm a fan of the Ivar shelves. You can put shelves at various heights (about every inch or so), buy more to add in whenever you need them, plus you can add more to the sides, if you like. And, again, you can have glass doors, etc., if you like. Also, they have corner pieces, if you need to round a corner. _________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 08:25:29 -0800 (PST) From: barry goubler Subject: brittney ad > Subject: Re: Pepsi...For Those Who Think Britney > > The worst thing about these ads is their annoying > air of "Oh, we know so > much better now".

It'll be a silverface twin sound through a big Marshall. Or a pretty good approximation. Someone suggested playing through a Big Muff, but that isn't the sound you're looking for. I used to have the same problem you're having right now (but I was playing a Sovtek head and a Marshal half stack...pretty similar predicament) and the Big Muff just made it sound too metal-y. His guitar might also be part of the problem. The best solution would be to sell his rig to someone in a Thin Lizzy cover band and go get a Twin! Chris ps- Your band sounds cool!

Come get a taste of 1960's garage and jangly pop with... MICHAEL LYNCH AND THE LYNCHMEN Monday February 11 7:45 PM at... ACME UNDERGROUND 9 Great Jones Street (btwn. Broadway & Lafayette), NYC Their sound is a box of assorted candy of Beatles, Byrds, Stones, Shadows Of Knight, Barbarians, Kinks, Gants, Cyrkle, Raiders, E-Types (Heck, name any five bands that were reissued on Sundazed, and we'll bet that Michael Lynch And The Lynchmen show influence of at least four of them) and more. Michael Lynch, on guitar and vocals, is on the rise on the New York scene. His music has received positive reviews for faithfully reviving the feel of 1960's pop and nuggets, and his recent New York shows (at CBGB's and The C-Note) were quite a success. Come hear why. The Lynchmen consist of Ken Anderson, formerly of The Optic Nerve and currently of the Rooks, on drums, and Doug Mayer, of New York's garage rockers The Contrarians (themselves making waves on the East Coast) on bass. A number of BOMP-listers have already announced their intention of checking this out. Come put faces to the names you often see here, and hear some BOMPable and stompable music at the same time.

"Y'see, I'm not a natural musician," he explains. For the first time in the former Headcoat's career, you wouldn't have guessed. While the Medway eccentric's name tends to conjure up vague memories of untutored, dour, clanking two-chord rubbish, with the Buff Medways...Childish is threatening to go tuneful." Does this man not know what he's talking about? Any fans of the Pop Rivets, Milkshakes, Mighty Caesars and Headcoats want to bombard the NME with vituperative complaints, be my guest. ("Untutored, dour, clanking two-chord rubbish"? Sounds like a description of so-called dance music to me!) ...as the last true bastion of nihilistic R&B, Childish can still teach young pretenders like The White Stripes and The Hives a thing or two about direct action rock'n'roll. "Punk rock ist nicht töt," Childish bellows with conviction as the years pour off him. He's not lying. Well, it gets a bit better. But notice how the Buff Medways get reviewed only now, when they've played in London at somewhere other than the Dirty Water Club. Or maybe it's just that they're having a record released by Graham Coxon from Blur's record label? Or maybe I'm paranoid. Not that I really want to see gigs at the DWC being reviewed in the NME to be honest. It'd probably do us more harm than good, like, it would totally ruin the vibe, maaan. Or something... Anyway, Billy Childish is back at the Dirty Water Club this Friday night. Come down and be one of the people who can say they saw the Buff Medways before NME started hyping them as well. (Even though the White Stripes are playing in Australia the rag, sorry, I mean mag, still manages to mention them while the Hives are featured on five separate occasions in the one issue... If you'd have told me six months ago that I'd be reading the NME then I'd have said you were mad, but if you had told me I'd have been reading about the Stripes, Hives and Childish all in the same issue - not to mention a pretty good review of a Joey Ramone album - I'd have said you were mad and on some serious hallucinogens too.)

The running order on that one is so well picked. Who came up with calling this hybrid form of garage/punk acid? A very diverse album, yet when playing it it seems to make sense. All other compilations after this one claiming to be Acid punk (the Beyond the calico wall etc.) never worked as well as this one did. The very one song to define "Acid" as in acid garage must be T.C. Atlantic's "Faces". They must have made more stuff on this level (besides their blues-rock album), so am I the only one to look very much foreward to the upcoming T.C. Atlantic comp?>> Well, there was Greg Shaw's term of "acid-punk," which I always liked. I used to use it a lot more to distinguish what I considered really farout '60s psych from stuff like the Dead. In Kingston, it seemed the Dead were synonymous with psychedelia, something I never agreed with. I think former Black Flag singer/guitarist Dez Cadena said it best: "I take my psychedelia very seriously. The Dead were not psychedlic, they were a country band." I once wrote an article on what I considered "real psych" for a local indie paper there, and I didn't even really knock the Dead, I just mentioned that I wasn't a fan and failed to get al there supposed "trippiness," etc. The next day after it was published I was literally accosted in the middle of the sidewalk by some Deadheads who saw it and were really mad that I dared to put down there al-time fave group, so they recognized me and started yelling and arguing with me. On top of it, one guy was the younger brother of a friend, who in high school was a huge metalhead. I mean, he used to have the BOC symbol on the back of his jean jacket! In fact, I think I introduced him to BOC! So much for "mellow Deadheads." That said, the term "acid rock" still, gets used. I saw a recent CD comp. at Tower the other day called "Best of Acid-Rock," with Iron Butterfly and Blue Cheer to name a few. Oh, and both bands had members with beards BTW. Not so much in the early days with BC, but definitely by their last two LPs, one guy had a full on beard. Of course, that was the early '70s by then.

I've been using the Ivar ones ever since I was a little boy now, and to address Rdten1's concern, I've never had one warp or collapse on me. If you're gonna fill them top to bottom with LP's I would check that they won't start leaning forward though (I usually put some bits of cardboard or somthing under the front legs to make sure they lean backwards a bit.)

Oh, well. No worries here, mate. I laughed at BOTH posts!

I also affixed a doubled strip of 1 1/4" lattice to the back wall to help counter sag. I wouldn't recommend using screws as sole support, they help hold things together, but if one gives way...bye bye shelves...the brackets shift the weight to the side walls...the screws just keep it together. Oh, the brackets used, if set low enough, can scrape or possibly damage any LP sleeve which rests on the inner wall. To counter that problem, as I do w/all my shelving with or w/o brackets, I keep a LP size piece of cardboard on both inner walls of each shelf to protect the sleeves from any in'n out drag, so the brackets are covered. You can find thicker 1" thick laminated press board...I reconstructed another shelf using this 1" size and its strong enough to support 30" expanse (200+ LPs) w/o sagging. Speaking of sag...it's something I've yet to successfully counter (on cheaper shelving) but I've never had anything collapse. however, there is always the method of slipping in a bit of plywood as tall as the shelf is deep and high, on each shelf from the bottom up to the last shelf from the top. I dunno if they'd even really need to be attached as the weight of LPs above will sandwich the insert and its weight in turn should be transferred via these inserts to the floor, therefore fixing the sag...in theory. Oh, if you do build shelving ALWAYS use a level. > > BTW...the Ikea 6'x6' shelves are great looking and worth the $$$. > >It's a lot pricier than the Target shelf, but these are my RECORDS >I'm talking about well...I NEED 'em bad (I've like 5k LPs but only room for 4k!!...don't tell my GF)...but I don't have 'em, unfortunately I don't have any wall in my house which runs 6' without a damn window, so I bought/made UGLY shelves...however, I've friends who have 'em as there is an Ikea minutes away. As for the specs...I'd need to find my catalog...but if I remember correctly they are big cubes, 14"x14"x16" or close to that, and about 6'x6' overall, I've been told they hold 3000+ LPs... 16" is about 110 LPs @ about 60lbs. check here...tho' this GIANT unit isn't featured, but the "Billy" is... http://www.ikea-usa.com/product_presentation/cat.asp?id=468 nipper ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2002 #79 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
