Dr. M. Most of the '60s ex-punks I've spoken to who who started in the late '50s were only 13 or 14 at that time; therefore they were still only in their late teens or very early 20s by the time 1965 came along. Maybe a few older rocker-types converted to Beatlism in the mid-60s, but they weren't really accepted by the new generation. Sonny Bono was one geezer to hop on the youth bandwagon (namely Cher), but he wasn't a '60s garage guy. There are obvious exceptions like Paul Revere Dick & Sam Samudio who were mentioned recently, + Sean Bonniwell.

It's got a semi-garagey Tex-Mex feel, mainly because he's got most of the Sir Douglas Quintet backing him up! If you ever see this album for $5 or less, and you keep your expectations low, it's not a bad find. Sure, the lyrics are far from sunshiney (Gene's moaning over a lost love whose "grown tired of chasing rainbows"), but hell, the beat is fairly danceable and his voice held up well...it's not "Be-Bop-A-Lula Revisited" but it's a great deal better than Link Wray's country-rock albums from around the same time. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Feb 2002 10:30:52 +0000 From: Jeff Kopp Subject: Re: The Buff Medways On Thursday, February 14, rat fink wrote: > >> Their "Tribute to the Daggermen" 7" on Sympathy is pretty cool.

At the age of nine, I knew nothing about NUGGETS or the fact that the Ramones' debut was released that year...but I did see a connection, in my mind, between the Beatles, Monkees, Kinks, Shadows Of Knight, Them, Music Explosion, Swinging Medallions, Sir Douglas Quintet...all of whom were spun on the local automated "nostalgia" station at least once or twice.

Somewhere between repeated hearings of "Wooly Bully" and MONKEES reruns on the local UHF station, I stopped laughing - there really was a wealth of good music back there in the fifties and sixties. I might also add that (a) "punk cred" didn't matter back then, and (b) oldies radio was still new, so the formats weren't chiseled in stone yet. You could hear "Incense & Peppermints" followed by Sammy Davis, Jr. followed by Slim Harpo, "Endless Sleep," "Johnny Angel," Jimmy Reed, and a then-recent hit like Charlie Daniels'"Uneasy Rider." Getting back to garage, I didn't fully understand the punk connection until '79, when Creem ran a two-part series on the "history of garage," drawing a straight line between the Kingsmen and the Clash. In a sense, my radio experience is the same as Jeff Lemlich's was, only a decade later. It was during my high school years, when I started going to record stores more often. I had one foot in the mainstream - I remember liking Rick James (one of the few post-disco soul acts I dig) and AC/DC, but when it came time to buy records, I found myself buying scratchy 45's at thrift stores, and seeking out Raiders and Kingsmen albums at used shops. Without even thinking, I found myself going back to this kind of stuff. I don't really have an emotional connection to what was on the radio and in the Top 40 between '81-85. Then as now, the new stuff I like(d) was, and is, on the off-chart indie-label level. (I was also digging the Ramones, the Blasters [ESPECIALLY], NRBQ and the Morells, as well as reissues of old R&B on Chess and Duke, but that's a whole 'nother tale - I thought I'd just focus on garage-rock this time.)

I started listening to the Carol Tayor Show on WNOR around 1983. Around the same time, MTV was added to the Cable Service. On MTV during the afternoon at the age of 14, I was getting exposed the New Wave acts like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Violent Femmes, R.E.M., Let's Active, Split Enz, the Psychedelic Furs, Modern English, Romeo Void, the Cure (which I didn't like at first),Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Ramones (which is actually punk), and many "underground acts" at that time. Remember, this is 1983; MTV was much different back then. They even had "I.R.S., The Cutting Edge" back then. At night while doing my homework, Carol Taylor would play her hybrid of 60s and 80s garage bands, 60s psychedelic acts, 70s and 80s new wave and post punk. It was an evening where I could listen to the Fleshtones, the Long Ryders, the Three O'Clock, the Fuzztones, the Vipers, the Chesterfield Kings, REM, Let's Active, the DB's, the Plimsouls, the Dream Syndicate, Patti Smith, the Cramps, Pylon, Love Tractor, X, XTC, and well you get the picture. I grew up in Ahoskie, North Carolina. It was a hard place to grow up. I was the odd ball. While mullets were in, I wore a mop top haircut with bangs dangling over my eyes, paisley shirts, Beatle Boots. For many people, I was the scorn of ridicule, but I figure that I'll move out of Ahoskie one day. That dream came through. Throughout the 1990s and especially through my college years at ECU, I was very much living in the 1980s post punk mode (although I was really briefly into shoegazing from1989-1993). Since the mid 1990s, my taste and love for garage rock, surf rock, rockabilly, Britiish beat, etc has grown to what it is now.

Mucho drug stories, and funny as hell. My favorite is when Waylon and Johnny Cash (and I think Willie Nelson, although I read this a few years ago and could be wrong) were all coked up in the mid 60s staying at a hotel after some concert. They'd been up for days, giddy and loaded, so they called room service for some food. When room service came into their room, Waylon and Johnny had sawed the legs off all the tables, chairs and beds and were walking around the room on their knees. I'd "highly" recommend reading it!

The version of YOung Lords on the other Stiff comp (the black one) is a different, better mix. You get Deke's background vocals, that were removed on the lp version. There is also an ep called "Sean's Demos" which came with the first album. For more about Tyla you should read the Help Yourself piece that was in The Terrascope. It's on their web site too. A very funny story. The flip of the Helps Christmas single also features "Space Truck Tyla and the Freight Yard Marshals". You gotta have it. The Duck cd is both of the albums, minus one song.

My tale is that I'm 36 years old and had a bunch of my older siblings' 45's lying around. They were all scratchy and as a young kid, I'm sure I ruined them even worse on my Kenner Close and Play record player and my GE Show and Tell turntable. But amongst those, I had 45's of The Twist, Danger by Vic Dana (neat intro), So Much In Love by the Tymes (neat b-side on it), and a few others. Some of the oldies songs got absorbed as well. When I was growing up, my tastes shifted from AM radio (Boston had some good stations late 60's through the 70's), Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones, classic rock, hard rock, new wave, punk, the Stones, heavy metal, some college radio, and finally, after going to the gym (I wasn't always 230 lbs), the guy running the gym played the first Lyres album over the sound system. That would have been 1987. I didn't get to see them until 1990, but have been more or less a garage and psych fan ever since. I ain't limited to that stuff though, as I still have some classic rock leanings (I still listen to Uriah Heep and Black Oak Arkansas) and lately I've started to appreciate 50's R&B and 60's soul more. I don't have any set pattern, I just like what I like.

Just last night I was perusing the CD racks at Walmart and came across one by Waylon & The Waymore Blues Band, one of Jennings' later projects. And yesterday I signed out a book at the library called "In The Country Of Country" which had more than a passing reference to Jennings, plus a very youthful studio shot from 1964. Everyone has heard the story of how Waylon lucked out of taking the ill-fated flight that killed Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper, after telling Buddy "Hope your old plane crashes." Anyone who believes in an afterlife would have to believe that the two of them are having a nice reunion, and that Waylon is finally able to get much-needed forgiveness for his tragically prescient wish. I suppose I never respected Waylon Jennings when he was truly popular, when "Waylon and Willie and the boys" were inescapable on country radio and my mom's car tape deck... Looking back, songs like "Luckenbach, Texas" aren't just great outlaw country songs, but viable pop as well. R.I.P., Waylon...

I'm listening to the last program as I type this. Great soundtrack for mailchecking! Keep it up and keep those RA files coming! NP: "Down" by the Rockin' Roadrunners...now it's "Buzz The Jerk" by the Pretty Things. Funny thing is, I'm in the juvenile section listening to savage garage while kids are surfing the Nickelodeon website. Quite subversive...

I'm a few paragraphs into the Shaggs chapter, and while it looks like a repeat of the Rounder CD liner notes, there are a few more tidbits thrown in, and plenty more surprises as I continue through the other chapters. Looks like I may be looking up another whole genre of CDs...

I heard "Who Loves The Sun?" first on one of the digital music channels that I get on my TV, and couldn't believe it was the Velvet Underground. My only other VU exposure has been "Venus In Furs" and the song that was featured in "The Doors." I forget the title, but neither song has led me to check the Underground out much further. So I just realized that the song also plays in "High Fidelity." Is it on the soundtrack album? Another reason to look it up, without having to resort to a VU comp...
