Was up to the shopping center with my dad and at Eckerd Drugs, they had a table of cut-out albums set up near the check out. I was looking through them and found a copy of Iggy and the Stooges first album--for 59 cents!!!! Now these guys I'd read about in Creem for sure. Not having any money, I asked my dad to loan me 75 cents (to cover tax, too). He looked at the record and said, how much is that, 59 cents, I'll get that for you! So he did. My dad started me down the road to Iggy-dom!

I had no idea what it was but then noticed that songs by the Attack made up the second half of the CD. A small label wanted a psych album, so John DuCann organized the project by the seat of his pants and with a drummer who didn't even know the material when they went into the "studio" (jerry rigged in an off duty kindergarten school room). This is good, melodic, psychey freakbeat recorded in all of FOUR HOURS. The songs were written in the space of ten days, I think, and the title track is one I can relate to all too well (the 9-5ers then were popularly known as "Plastic People," but John DuCann thought he'd be more creative and call them "Straw People"). "Carwash" is a driving instro that could easily be the soundtrack for a party scene in a 60's Eurotrash movie. One song is a bit too reminiscent of Cream's "Strange Brew," and "Feel Like Havin' a Party" is silly and plodding, but the rest is pretty good. They played out a lot, opening for the Small Faces and the Move.

I don't know why I'm bothering, considering how most people's views of St. Louis are less than admirable, but it's still quite affordable here in the great Midwest. When I tell people from out of town that we bought our house for $49,900 back in '96 (it recently appraised for $87,000) their jaws drop to the floor. I've heard that similar houses (built in 1917, all brick, flat roof, 2-bedroom, hardwood floors, detached garage, etc.) would sell for upwards of $200k out in California or elsewhere. Music scene? Yes. Book stores? Yes. Libraries? Of course. Good radio? Yes (KDHX). Culture? Yes. Food/entertainment? Yes. Good climate? Well, really, our winters are pretty mild compared to Chicago or even KC, and most of the time it's in the 30-40 degree range with maybe one or two relatively small snowstorms a year. Summers get hot and the humidity can be a bummer, but that's what AC is for. Beach? Does the Mississippi River count? I don't know... I've been all over the US and I still love Missouri. In fact, I know of two people who moved here recently (one from Portland, OR and the other from San Francisco) who are really enjoying it. Oh, and Art Chantry seems to like it, too. I met with him recently and he had nothing but great things to say about living here, although one thing he pointed out is that St. Louis needs a good punk rock record store, and he's right... lots of record stores and plenty of vinyl, but no one store that caters to punk/underground rock'n'roll. King Kaufman wrote a great article last summer for salon.com after he moved here from SF, too. Check it out: http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2001/08/08/moving_on/index.html kopper P.S.

I got the Capitol album with "2+2" on it for a quid in a flea market just off the Holloway Road during the summer. And it doesn't have too great a sound, by what I mean is that it's a bit on the quiet side. My 45 of "Rambling Gambling Man" has "Tales of Lucy Blue" on the flip. For sheer awesome power neither of those records compare with the 45 of "East Side Sound" on Hideout that I picked up last time I was in NYC.

During the early 80s to mid 90s the towns were stuffed full of great bands and cool clubs. You could go out near enough every night of the week if you were happy to hear either garage-beat, punk or rockabilly. In the local newspaper they'd print the national top 20 and a local top 20, compiled from local record shops. (There were more indie stores back then...) In the local stores, some of the records by the Prisoners, for example, were selling more than the national hit makers. According to the published chart anyway. When I was about five or six years old I'd dug out my parents' old records from the basement and the sound of Little Richard, Larry Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and one of their few British records, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, got me excited. For several years from the age of 12 onwards, when I was beginning to get enough pocket money to afford records, I was just buying current garage and rockabilly groups and old r&b and rockabilly. It was at a rockabilly club actually where I first remember hearing the Sonics being played. I asked the DJ who they were and then got it into my head that I wanted to find out more about the original sixties groups.

My introduction to punk was seeing the Sex Pistols on ABC TV when they did their ill-fated American tour. I was in eighth grade. Then I met and started haging out with this guy, older by a couple of years, who already had the Pistols LP, and he played it for me. Joe was a good guy, he also introduced me to the Turtles and the Zombies and the orig. "Nuggets" collection, a litle while after that.

I'm not that into the "Black Godfather" album that Andre Williams did, but "Silky" ruled and the one on Norton sucked. I'd rather some garage rock producer take control, but not over-do it. I think Jim Diamond, Tim Kerr, Mick Collins, or Billy Childish should kidnap Bo and make his American Recordings/Silky type record before it's too late. As far as Bo goes, if you put on the show and talked to him and everything, why not mention the possibility? Obviously he must have noticed that all these young people turned out for the show and were bummed out. Or that you were playing all this great music and not his Triple X albums from the 80s or whatever. If anyone meets Bo Diddley, it is your responsibility to save him from this shit-a-thon he's been doing for the past 25 years. Ike is one of my all-time heroes. When I was in high school, he lived in San Marcos, CA, which was right next to Vista where I grew up. it seemed like everyone I knew had his autograph on their cooler from meeting him at the beach, or on some scrap of paper from meeting him at the mall. But none of my friends really listened to his music and regarded my interest in him as similar to being a GG Allin fan. My little sister was a waitress at the IHOP in our town, and Ike was one of her "regulars." I gave her my "River Deep Mountain High" record to leave at work and have him sign when he came in next. Even though he really liked my sister (if you know what I mean) and everything, he refused to sign the record. So he would sign my friend Warren's glove box in his car, but not a record he did with Tina. Hmmm.... So a few years later I'm at the Carlsbad airport, which is this commuter airport no one really uses. I'm outside, about an hour before my flight takes off, and this shiny black Mercedes pulls right up to the front and Ike Turner gets out. He sees me getting all excited and walking up to him and immediately he starts in on me "You know I fly in from Italy, I haven't slept in days and now you fools lost all my guitars!" He thought I worked for the airline. But it was nice to finally meet him. I saw his set last year at SXSW in Austin and it was awful. As was the album from last year. The last decent thing the man did was his book "Takin' Back My Name." Unfortunately, he was nominated for a Grammy this year for "Best Traditional Blues Album" and the hawaiian shirt wearing "House Of Blues" crowd probably buys more records than the stained DMZ shirt wearing garage crowd...I think it may be too late for Ike.
