Dr. M. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 13:45:51 -0800 (PST) From: David Coyle Subject: Langley Schools Music Project Following the comments about this CD from various Bomp-listers, I finally broke down and bought it. Albums recorded by school choirs are a dime a dozen and can usually be found in thrift stores from time to time. And they're usually Christmas albums. This is something else entirely. It's worth it for the rudimentary instrumentation alone, which includes electric and acoustic guitars, basses, drums and percussion played by the actual students themselves, although I think the music teacher plays as well. None of these could be considered the definitive versions of the songs by any means, but David Bowie was apparently knocked out by their version of "Space Oddity" (which sounds fairly psychedelic even here) and Karen Carpenter had an affinity for their take on "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft." I checked out the website, which is essentially an advertisement for Irwin Chusid's book "Songs In The Key Of Z." There is also a links page, where I have discovered there is now a Shaggs website, with input from the Shaggs themselves. This was a surprise for me. There are also links for Wildman Fischer, Joe Meek, Hasil Adkins, Lucia Pamela, etc. Highly recommended for outsider music fans.

Just so the guy who asked doesn't get too confused, "acid rock" was a term that came about in the late 60's. The garage band era was virtually over and "acid rock" referred to music that had become heavier than garage, tho' there may be other differences. "acid", when used to describe garage band music, is generally a revisionist term that probably came about in the 80's. Tho' "acid rock" and "acid punk" can have psychedelic influences in common, "acid rock" is rock and "acid punk" is rock and roll. Dig.

I bought two 6'x6' Expedit from Ikea when they were on sale for $99 a piece. The openings are around 13" by 13", so you can fit @ 85 to 90 lp's in each cell. Each of my shelves holds around 2200 lp's. They look great, too. I really like the 15" depth.
