Aw, damn. Sad. Got to meet the man himself in 1990 or so whilst hangin at CBs on a NY vacation. Seemed very unpretentious. Is there a recording of the last show w/Patti Smith? Couldn't find one last time I looked thru the interwebs.by MrFab
I don't think shostakovich or mingus slayed the father (and come on, I'm a die-hard Laker fan, but I gotta admit that NO-ONE has slain jordan) in the sense that they become more succesful then their mentor. However: Gun Club > White Stripes Schoolly D > Ice T, NWA Chuck Berry > Keith Richards Pixies > Nirvanaby MrFab
Oh, I'm well aware that Bo's still with us cuz he comes thru town every now and again - saw him a few years ago. Beware! He actually doesn't do much BoDiddley-beat type stuff, more Chicago blooz. But if that's your bag, he's fun. I was actually reading about Chubby recently and he's basically given up trying to do anything else except The Twist on the nostalgia/stby MrFab
"the fact that my 1st wife knew all the TP bands actually contributed to the difficulties in a way" Eh? How so? (Oops, might be too personal - you don't have to answer.) Post Edited (08-26-07 00:35)by MrFab
Tito Puente encoring with the theme to the I Love Lucy. The Hollywood Bowl crowd went nuts. (And here we are back to vintage tv again.)by MrFab
>>Jeez, Ira didn't say a bloody thing when I pointed out that the Yankees actually had a Yaz Day in the Stadium back in '67.<< Yaz in '67, eh? Their psychedelic era, before they went techno-pop?by MrFab
All right, now y'all got me doing it. But really, does anyone have a longer TP entry then The Fall? For that matter, does anyone have a bigger discography ANYWHERE? Has even Mark E. listened to them all?by MrFab
The Henry Rollins show on IFC has a wealth of good musical guests - recently saw Shane mumble (in a compelling way) thru "Dirty Old Town," Manu Chow, Stooges. Sinead O'Conner's coming up. Gotta get one of them cable/satellite thingies tho.by MrFab
They just added that Music Page recently on the Nortons site. Until a couple of months ago or so there was nary a mention of his music past. Oh, and after the meal?by MrFab
It should be served if we ever have Sunday Brunch at The Nortons.by MrFab
The Germs film came and went at the Los Angeles Film Festival. I think the Joy Division film already opened in England. The Roky Erikson film is on the road. I'l finally get to see it in Sept. There's a Cramps movie? Post Edited (08-16-07 19:36)by MrFab
I think they were dismissed at the time because of their wimpy preppie image. It was assumed their music must be similiarly lightweight. But I also heard them again recently and, after having listened to a lot of Latin music in the interim, I instantly picked up on the heavy Cuban flavor of some of their hits. They had more complex rhythms then most of the contemporaries, but the vanilla singiby MrFab
Yeah, decent is the word for 'em (I, however, love Television). I'm generally not really into that hippie-era stuff anyway. Love did some terrific rawkers like "7 & 7 Is" and "Little Red Book" as well as plenty of stuff on their most famous album "Forever Changes" with flutes and strings that I can take or leave. I prefer the "Nuggets"-y gaby MrFab
DEVO (everything) Clash "London Calling", "Sandinista" Eno/Byrne "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" Kraftwerk "Computer World" Wall of Voodoo (first 3) Suburban Lawns s/t Bowie "Ziggy," "Scary Monsters" whatever that Thomas Dolby album was with "WindPower," "Submarines" etc Pretenders s/t The Specials s/t "by MrFab
Ha, well erik, allow me to prolong it thusly: The Standells were NOT from Boston. We Angelenos have true bragging rights as they were a Sunset Strip club band. (So they could have sung "I love that dirty air...")by MrFab
Muchos grassy-ass! And those first album-outtakes look pretty wonderful, too... Anyone heard the new album? How's the new drummer?by MrFab
Anyone remember that Geraldo guy? The Latin Vanilla Ice (that would make him...er...Burrito Ice?) Biz Markie has a lisp like Erik Sermon, but it fits his goofy persona. Wouldn't want him any other way. Some comedian's joke after Ol Dirty Bastard was arrested: "He just wants his good name back."by MrFab

I was at the show Devo recorded for "Live At The Hollywood Palace." Was at the tapings of the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Fight Like A Brave" and Beastie Boys "Shadrach" videos as an extra. I cannot be seen or heard tho, try as you may.by MrFab
Haven't heard the whole album, but "White Blood Cells" has "Fell in Love With A Girl," the one White Stripes song I really like. And McCartney's silly new wave album "II"? Come on people, you can do worse then that! I've been trapped in cars on long rides with the likes of Nelson (astonishingly bad), the Cher album with "Believe," and Van Haby MrFab

Never got into oi - always sounded a little fascist to me, like for football hooligans. Music to beat-up-immigrants-by. Having said that, I do really like "Banned from The Pubs" by Peter and the Test-Tube Babies.by MrFab
"God Rules!" He he, yep, I had a friend who was briefly into Xtian rock (he even took me to a Resurrection Band show) who played me some Undercover. I thought the idea of Christian punk was funny. Also remember seeing some "God Rules!" bumper stickers around that time...by MrFab
Pogues "Rum Sodomy & The Lash"? Kate Bush?by MrFab
Toppermost of the poppermost! Great list. Props for remembering the likes of Polyrock, Wall of Voodoo, "Trans," TSOL, and the Paisley Underground crowd. I'd substitute "Wild Gift" or "Under the Big Black Sun" for "Los Angeles" tho. And speaking of Big Black, no "Atomizer"? I think we could lose Robin Lane for something like that, or theby MrFab
"Wall of Voodoo" Suburban Lawns "Baby" Black Flag "Nervous Breakdown" Brirthday Party "Mutiny!" Beastie Boys "Love American Style" and of course: Count Floyd! Post Edited (07-24-07 17:45)by MrFab
Ah yes, this one. WFMU's played it quite a bit, you can listen in their archives.by MrFab
BUMP. Come on kids, if I was a poor college student, i'd be on the first flight to NYC.by MrFab
"with voices buried so far in the mix I'm still not sure if they're really there or if my imagination conjures them" Electronic Voice Phenomena! Art Bell's retired again - think I'll track this music down and play it in his honor.by MrFab
