What really sucks, though, is that Feathered Apple deleted their account here because of this stupid bullshit. As hard as it is to actually get people to COME HERE and use this site (and keep them coming back), it kills me to see people actually leave the site because of a little flamewar over the Chesterfield Kings, for fuck's sake. Take that as a lesson to watch what you say or post publicly about certain band members and other people involved with the scene. Posting that you've "heard stories" about people isn't cool... this he-said/she-said crap doesn't belong here. Other folks reading this site may very well be close friends of theirs and will take it very personally. Remember the Golden Rule, gang, and put the shoe on the other foot... how would you like it if someone posted something like this about one of your friends on another message board that they "heard stories" that your friend was an asshole or whatever... you wouldn't like it, either. So let's avoid this kinda crap here, please. Thank you.

Sorry about that (the above) -- the forum app seems to have froze up.

I'm 65. Does that make me the old man of this forum?  Been playing since around `60 or `61, in my first band by at least `62 -- actually a two many duo called, appropriately enough, the Bi-Tones.

The Bi-Tones morphed into a series of short lived but locally successful bands until in 1964 we found the right combination as The Abstracts. By May of that year we were in the studio and in 1965 our classic recording "Always Always" was released.

This past November all of our studio stuff (and a couple of live tracks) were released on a fine LP "Hey, Let's Go Now!"  (http://www.break-a-way.de/bands/abtracts.html) 

All the living members of the band, btw, are still making music. Too old indeed! :D

Sometimes it's a bit difficult to start a week.

This one quite good to begin a day.

How do you top that!!!!!!! Funny creepy and bad all rolled up in one.

Here, back to the minor league bad.

I just checked, I don't seem to be signed up, but some of my music is on there.

I will be on the air and the web from 1:00-3:00PM EST on Saturday June 30.  You can listen at 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu

still up for grab?

Cause I'd really be down!

Slowly but surely, I'm uploading things onto my flickr which you can check out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/annaehhm/

Just received this press release from their record company:

FLESHTONES QUATRO x QUATRO.

.........................................................

Yeah, I actually have the first and the third, but not the second one. I thought ten was a bit salty, especially given the condition it was in. I actually didn't even look at the vinyl it's self as the cover had seem splits, water damage or something of the sort.

I don't know the particulars. I would'nt buy it for $10 unless it was almost stone mint. I LIKE the Nazz , mind you , but , their stuff is'nt THAT rare. It still turns up . I have'nt heard of it being released on anything other than the red vinyl......But , it's possible they released it on red vinyl first , then reverted to standard black vinyl when they saw it was'nt taking off....

I have it , and I can't even remember if it was a gatefold (But , I don't think it was.). I PAID ABOUT 5 0R 6 Dollars for it. "Nazz Nazz" MAY BE THE LESS ATTAINABLE OF THE THREE , I DON'T KNOW.

Does anybody know about pressing info on Nazz Nazz (2nd album). Discogs and google were not much help. Saw a beat up copy today for 10, but passed on it cause of its condition. Was wondering if this was issued as a gatefold, like the first one? Also saw some on red vinyl, is this the first pressing?

I'd say any list of "Bad Gurl" songs needs to include "All Women Are Bad". Ivy said the group was accused of sexism for releasing the , obviously tongue - in - cheek , song , even though SHE wrote it !   I'd say "Like a Bad Girl Should" , but that's almost playful (Esp. if you've seen the video. ).
 
Alex said:

Maybe I'm being too literal, but what about "All Women Are Bad" by the Cramps?

Also, anything by the Donnas.  Those girls were trouble!  I've always liked "It's on the Rocks."

We're over, I'm done
Yeah, it's time to have some real fun
So I'm callin' all my ladies
We're gonna key your Mercedes

[Chorus]
Well, you're the kinda guy
Who needs attention around the clock
Well you can't even talk
'Cause baby, it's on the rocks
Yeah, it's on the rocks
Well it's me you gotta detox
'Cause baby, it's on the rocks!

Your luvin's like a car crash
You're gone and I got whiplash
You're a stain I can't get out
I tried bleach and I tried Shout!

I apologize for all the noise
I just had to tell all the boys
That you'd rather have a Mai Tai
Then a tall glass of Bud Dry

[Chorus]

It's on the rocks
(echo)It's on the rocks
Yeah, it's on the rocks
(echo)Yeah, it's on the rocks
It's on the rocks
(echo)It's on the rocks
Baby, it's on the rocks

Nice. The Potatoes , a MALE group , covered it , too, around the same time The Cramps released their version. The Potatoes , based in Dallas , were an offshoot of the original Shitty Beatles. Anyone else using the name , now , only does because of the joke in "Wayne's World", released at least 5 years after the Shitty Beatles started. I do know how they came to use it , too.....BFD , I know.

"Get Off The Road", the theme from the Herschell Gordon Lewis film "She Devils On Wheels", is a trash classic about "maneaters on motorbikes". It's been covered by both The Cramps (after the "Girl on a Motorcycle" trailer in the vid below) and The Lunachicks.

Did someone beat me to it? "Black Mona Lisa" by The Retreds (Back From The Grave #7.)

Not only does it have lyrics about a judo-choppin', ass kickin' femme fatale that'd do Tura Satana proud , they even lifted the hubcaps from "Boss" by The Rumblers , a good ten years or more before The Cramps did the same , and came up with "Garbageman".

Dean Carter - "Rebel Woman" . Garage Punk meets Crime Jazz in an atmospheric , tuff as nails rocker about a man longing for a woman in tall black boots , even though it means his DOOM.

It did appear that there was more of a fan personal connection on Dee Dee's grave (notice the lipstick prints) but Johnny's is in such a visible spot right along the drive, the cemetery folks probably don't let stuff like beer cans and what not stay on his very long. It was cool to see the statue on Johnny's memorial. It's kind of in your face especially since it is a very traditional cemetery despite all of the famous people buried there. If you are ever in Hollywood you have to go.

John Battles said:

Beautiful pictures. I hear Dee Dee gets a lot more stuff from fans than Johnny. I did'nt know the line from " Highest Trails Above" was inscribed on Dee Dee's tombstone.  I think The Ramones did just two songs from "Subterranean Jungle" , when I first saw them in '84 , and that was one of them.....Some critic said it was a silly song. Whatever. I always liked it , especially that machine gun guitar break (Again , probably Walter Lure.).
Dalevis said:

Went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Monday to pay my respects to Johnny and Dee Dee. It was comforting to know that they weren't buried in a pet cemetery. They didn't want that.

Get ready! Volume 8 ("Supercharged Sounds") will be coming out two weeks early... on Monday July 2!! The page won't be live until that morning. Cheers!
