Always a bummer to miss FIDLAR, couldn't get to the recent show in Montréal because of work crap, they were also with The Orwells and that is definitely a band I'd love to see live too

Yes! I'm missing out on the opportunity to see them tomorrow in MN...fucking bummer, this show would be rad! Sucks that The Orwells cancelled out on this show, that would have been rad too

Dick Dodd , legendary Lead Singer and Drummer for The Standells , has been diagnosed with Stage Four Cancer. Available reports were somewhat conflicting.

He is reported as having Spinal , Liver, Spleen and Esophogeal Cancer , though a spokesman retracted the statement about the latter. He was also reported to have two tumors to the brain , though treatment on that will be put on hold , as other factors have impaired his ability to eat. Combined , the reports strongly suggest that all of these reports , barring the Esophogeal Cancer , are true.  Surely , more information will be made available in a matter of days. Dodd told the press that he is determined to perform again.

Dodd had recently rejoined The Standells , whose current lineup includes founder/Keyboardist , Larry Tamblyn , "Try It " era Bassist and founding member of Love , John Fleckenstein ,and special guest Guitarist , Johnny Echols from Love. However , his rapid departure caused some low - key controversy. I don't know the whole story behind that , so I won't get into it here. More information on how you can donate to Dodd's medical fund , or just send him an encouraging message can be found on Dodd's Face Book , and elsewhere.    Dick Dodd enterred showbiz in the 50's on "The Mickey Mouse Club" (His Father was Jimmy Dodd , co - host of the program.). He drumed for classic Surf groups , The Bel - Aires and Eddie and The Showmen , and joined The Standells (In'64?) , appearing on TV SHOWS LIKe "tHE bING cROSBY sHOW" , "bEN cASEY" , AND , OF COURSE "The Munsters"  . tHEY ALSO APPEARED IN THE MOVIES , "Zebra in The Kitchen" , "Get Yourself a College Girl" , and teh Teen-Drug Exploitation fave , "Riot on Sunset Strip".

IN 1966 , THE BAND BUSTED WIDE OPEN WITH "DIRTY WATER" , FOLLOWED BY LESSER HITS LIKE "SOMETIMES GOOD GUYS DON'T WEAR WHITE" AND "TRY IT".

They split up in 1968 or '69 , though future Little Feat leader , Lowell George would briefly join the band in Dodd's absence , and a later comeback attempt was made in the early 70's , with only Tamblyn and Guitarist , Tony Valentino in tow. The two would try to reform the group , again , in the early 80's , briefly bringing Dickie back into the fold. The classic "Dirty Water" lineup played at the Super 60's Festival in 1986 , WITH lOVE , sKY saxon , Eric Burdon , Spirit and others ,  and the band would turn up off and on into the new millineum.  In 1999 , Valentino , Tamblyn and Dodd played a triumphant set at The Cave Stomp in New York , doubly impressive , as they had to follow an astonishing set by the monks. Both bands took the prize that night , if for totally different reasons.  Dickie also fronted Joshua in  the early 70's , who , despite a wretchedly Hippie - sounding name , released one LP , of Latin - tinged Hard Rock , not thoroughly removed from The Garage. He's performed Soul - flavored Rock under his own name and as The Dodd Squad since THE 80'S.

 

Think a good thought for the man. We all owe him a debt.

I used to come up with band names as a teen, often of one word, so see what did you come up with? I came up with this:

Lathe
Pants
Bomb
Combat 18 and a half
A House Full of Naked People
Motorpsycho FC
Tri-power & The Hemis

Later:
The Spindle Mounts
The Whitewall Slicks

Of course. And I love the Cruising video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZULMk1zy0
Unfortunately, I've never seen them live. But I also do not know if they are ever come across the pond.

Right on! I'm missing out on a show because i'm one month shy of being old enough. Dammit, I'm pretty pissed, would have been a rad show. I've only listened to a couple songs by Sneaky Pinks. Nobunny is friends with Hunx and His Punx, listen to them? They're awesome.

Me too.

A few months ago finally seen him live with Bad Sports.

Was a great show and I was pleased that even songs from the Sneaky Pinks were played.

Any Nobunny fans out there?

Radio What Wave Playlist Oct 31/2013

Originally this was going to be a Halloween oriented show with the inclusion of a live to air with one man band Fireball Grant. Things changed when we got the news about Lou Reed....hence the following playlist.

 

 

1. The Gruesomes....Bikers From Hell...from the Hey CD on Ricochet Sound. This is an 85 basement demo, called The Garbage Pail Kids Demo.

 

2. The Beechnuts...Cycle Annie...from a 1962 compilation LP called Soundsville on Pickwick Records. No doubt that this is Lou Reed on vocals.

 

3. The Regulators....Satellite Of Love....live recording from Halloween 1979 at the Polish Hall. Local combo heavily influenced by Lou and The Velvet Underground. Had to play this, so i could turn over the Soundsville compilation LP.

 

4. The Roughnecks...You're Driving Me Insane...another song from the Soundsville compilations LP, and yep, it's Lou all right!

 

5. Velvet Underground...There She Goes Again.

 

6. Velvet Underground....White Light White Heat.

 

7. Velvet Underground...What Goes On....

 

8. Velvet Underground....Sweet Jane...

 

9. Fireball Grant...Subway....live over the airwaves.

 

10. Fireball Grant...90...as above.

 

11. Fireball Grant...Jean Genie...as above.

 

12. Fireball Grant...Perfect Score  as above

13. Fireball Grant....York Hotel....as above.

 

14. Fireball Grant...Alright Now...as above.

 

15. Velvet Underground...We're Gonna Have A Read Good Time....from the 1969 Live Double LP.

 

16. Velvet Underground....commercial. This is from the VU box set of singles on Sundazed Records.

 

17. Lou Reed....Heroin....live recording from 12/26/72 in NYC.

 

18. Lou Reed....Lady Day...from the Rock'n'Roll Animal LP. There's 2 Canadians on this one, Prakash John on bass and Pentti Glan on the drums. Another Canadian, Michael Fonfara has played keyboards for Lou on many releases. Michael is sometimes seen at This Ain't Hollywood in Hamilton Ontario playing killer keyboards!!

 

 

This was our annual fundraising show....ya it was mass confusion with a live to air and a Lou Reed special, but it's all for fun!!!   Big thanx to the following for pledging during the show; Rena, Kerry P, Cora L and Mark H!!  And thanx for all the emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! All appreciated.

Back again next week with more Lou Reed and lots of new material.

 

AND.....a Huge Thanx to all that said hello or came to yammer about music at the CHRW table at the record show on sunday!!! There's WAY more people out there digging this show than i ever imagined!!! Thanx Tons!!!

 

Here's a link to the podcast for this show:

Still onmy to listen to list. I go through stages on Masters Apprentices. So loved in Australia -- so unknown to so many outside of Oz. *shrug* Still so much fun to watch the daggy film footage. :D

Anyone visited this place yet?

 

They had a bit of buzz going when they launched a few months ago, but there hasn't been much talk since then. Has anyone been there that cares to post a review of the place or share their experience? Their Facebook page talks a lot about their radio show and film screenings and DJ lessons for the kids; but I'm wondering about the records, of course....

 

Is it a good collection (both selection & condition)? Are they courting all genres? All formats (like 78 rpm and obscure old 45s)? Do their members take care of the records they borrow (or will their stock be destroyed in a year)? What's the perception from the locals: does the library have staying-power? How big is it? Is it run by people who actually know their way around the history of music on record (now over 135 years and counting)? Is it just piles of unplayable or unwanted junk that belongs in the trash? etc.

 

I like the idea a lot, but it seems like one of those things that could either be really cool or really disappointing. Just wondering what any visitors might have thought of the place. Since I'm 5,000 miles away, I might never get to see it (been to London once, and if I'm lucky I might get to go again sometime before I die).

 

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can check out their Facebook page here, or hit up the search engines for various press articles and blog posts.

 

If you live in or near London, you can find them here: Unit 1 Foulden Road, Stoke Newington, N16 7UR, London

 

Would love to hear a first-hand experience from a fellow vinyl junkie!

My blog post on Screaming Lord Sutch:  http://revrock.blogspot.ca/2013/10/screaming-lord-sutch-purple-people.html

The second Blues Magoos record , the second Electric Prunes record , the first Moby Grape record , the first two Blue Cheer records , and as far as records that have an undeserved bad rep , the last Chocolate Watchbandand 13th Floor Elevators records.

 

"Spoken word "- Leroy and Skillet "The Goodly Soul", "9 or 10 Times a Day" , anything by La Wanda Page or Rudy Ray Moore , and almost anything by Redd Foxx (His worst still beats today's "Talent" at their best.).

.....ok , I looked up the Face Book Page. The movie is currently "On Tour'. I saw it listed in nearly every major market , except Chicago. Maybe we got washed by the blood of the lamb. One innacuracy you can't avoid , Iggy looks like he did in 1972 - 73. WTFity FUCK?!

 

CHEETAH IS A CAB DRIVER , CHEEEEEEETAH IS A CAB DRIVER , NOOOOWWWWW......

You saw The CBGB's movie? I had'nt heard anything about it since MIKEL mentioned Eugene O'Connor , the pissed - off , Punk - hating Cab Driver some six months ago.  I know what you mean about coming up with laundry lists of historical innacuracies , tho' Spike Lee beat these guys to the punch with "Summer of Sam", CBGBs Punk rockers with giant mohawks , liberty spikes , and green hair , in 1977 ! I asked my Sister - in - Law , who went to CB's , Max's , etc. , as early as 1976 , if she EVER saw a mohawk in New York in '77. She said MAYBE RICHIE STOTTS WAS WORKING ON HIS VERY FIRST ONE , BUT , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FLAT , TRAVIS BICKEL NUMBER. That's so weird about using Joey's solo material. I'd have rather just heard a band trying to approximate The Ramones sound , if they could'nt get the rights to their back catalogue , even though I like Joey's posthumous solo albums.

 

Maybe , just like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" , this movie will (Or has?) bomb (ed) so badly , that in later years it'll make the rounds at Mdnight Movies (Already an almost non - entity , I know...) , and "enhancements" like John Waters Odorama cards that smell like urine , will be passed out.

I hope they dedicate it to Lou Reed's Memory.

Wipeout ! Not much is ever said about Lou and John's Pickwick Record days. There's probably a book , there.

I still like The Downliners Sect's version , better , but both versions are historical....

When I first saw The Sect , they said they just lucked onto a demo of "Smile" and decided to cover it.

MIKE l.   It could be spiritual intervention.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT'S EVEN FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME AROUND. LUX WAS , AND IVY IS , A VEGETARIAN , SO , I FIGURED THAT WAS WHY THEY HAD SOME FUN WITH THE MCDONALD'S APPLICATION.......WHEN IN REALITY , THEIR BURGERS ARE MORE GRISTLE THAN MEAT.

 

The Mrs. Grindsnatch joke might have been a reference to Julien Griensnatch , who briefly replaced Bryan Gregory....no , I don't think that was her REAL name , either.....
