He sure did. Of course , so did Judge Rhinehart (sic) , Jennifer Jason Leigh , and , briefly , anyway , Phoebe Cates. I still love that movie. I did'nt go see it when it came out , because it looked so stupid. I did'nt realize  that , besides being pretty fuckin' funny , it dealt with some REALITIES , like teen pregnancy , abortion , go - nowhere jobs , and the illusion that High School is where life peaks .

Sean Penn did pretty well for himself after playing the stoner dude in that movie:)

Cheap Trick WERE yesterday's news by 1982 , unless you lived in Chicagoland or Rockford , I guess. They still sold records , just not as many , and they played smaller halls , I guess , than before. But , bands were forgotten a lot quicker, in those days. Who knew or cared where Kiss or Aerosmith were in 1982? They were around , Ted Nugent was around , but , it'd be years before their megabucks comebacks.     Sorry....to answer your question....I remember "Pink Lady and Jeff".I watched all those Summer Replacement , or planned obsolescence TV shows , back then. The show was criticized for excessive Asian jokes. I don't remember , but , I think a friend gave me a tape with one or two episodes on it , but I only ever watched the Lancelot Link reruns on the same tape , more than once. Pink Lady had an album out on the US market. After the show tanked ,  I think they went back to Japan , and did well , there , for a few years. Jeff was the White guy. He stayed here.

Yeah , whatshisname in "Fast Times ". What a TOOL , but , capable of getting your trust. We all knew guys like that. I never saw him in anything else again. It's too bad , he was actually pretty good.

I just put D'addario Flatwounds Chromes SS on my Squier jaguar SS and it's sound very good. They are low but still got treble.

A very good bass, easy to play, made to rock, good choice !

Bonniwell Music Machine - Take Time Out For a Daydream. A rare Pop - oriented song by the late , great Sean Bonniwell , but , an effective one.

The Low Numbers - Try It (Standells) . This was a VERY early Punk Rock Joke band , on Rhino.   So bad , it's passable , but, i TAKE IT THEY WERE NEVER A REAL BAND. In their liner notes , the Guitarist said he holds the title to the name "Johnny Thunder'' as that was his real name ,  and Johnny Thunders was'nt The Dolls/Heartbreakers' Guitarist's real name , it was Johnny Gonzales (Genzale. Close.). Never mind they already had a Johnny Thunder ("Loop De Loop".) . When asked their opinion on The Ramones , they said "We don't like Disco.". That's worse than what Crime said about them.

Try it (Standells' own remake , ca. 1987. Reportedly just as bad.).

Did'ja know there was a Chocolate Watchband in England , and a Velvet Underground in Australia , in the 60s? Where I COME FROM , THAT JUST AIN'T RIGHT.

Probably for the better.

Ha! I think she was still incubating when Urge Overkill got together. I feel kinda mean making fun because it just goes without saying.

No , no , no. You're thinking of Neko Case. Nash Kato was The Green Hornet's sidekick.
 
Andy Climax said:

Wasn't Nash Kato, Inspector Clouseau's assistant in dem Panther movies??? haha

Yeah , that was a joke. I , unfortunately, live in Urge Overkill , Liz Phair , Smashing Pumpkins , Ministry , etc. etc.'s home town , so , I always had to hear how great all that stuff was , but , I'm still not feelin' it . A former friend told me Urge Overkill was up shit creek because their record had only sold 100, 000 , which , in Punk Rock terms , is a Gold Record.

NAUGHT TO DO WITH SXSW , BUT , I THINK "HEY HAMBURGER PIMP" MIGHT BE THE BEST NAME ON THIS THING , TO DATE.

"Well...If it is'nt my old friend , The Hamburger Pimp."

"Man , you better watch who you fuckin' with. I'm so bad , I gotta kick my OWN ass twice a day !".

I do a radio show in Canada. I named my show after the Cavemen's hit B Side It' Trash!

Was wondering if there was anyway i could contact the members?

Recorded a single on 'Chelle Records ( PH 148) in 1966 with A side the Pillow Bit.  Would like to get a interview with them.

On discogs it refers to the song being Written By – A. Johnson, B. Jabour, T. Rey

Engineered by Steve Kimball.

King Khan just sent me this great piece about the first time he met Jay Reatard. I guess there's a Jay Reatard documentary coming out. King Khan is making movies. Here's the piece.

The older I get the less of a fuck I give & the more Rock&Roll speaks to me.

The English Subhumans did a couple of concept type records. "From the Cradle to the Grave" tells the story of being born & trapped in the system & it's basically one long song.

I'VE CERTAINLY READ PLENTY ABOUT RODRIGUEZ , AND COULD HAVE SEEN HIM FOR FREE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO , BUT , MY FRIEND WHO WAS PLAYING WITH HIM INVITED ME WITH ABOUT AN HOUR TO SPARE , AND AN HOUR WAS'NT EVEN REALLY ENOUGH TIME TO GET THERE.

I just saw Searching for Sugarman about a month ago. Not a single Mongolian Nazi in the whole thing.

Actually I loved the movie. Not really crazy about the music, but a great story and a fascinating character.

Boy , if this had been available for (Ugh) viewing and (UGH!!!) listening in the 40's , The Axis powers would have imploded much faster , and The Allies would have won WWII without dropping the H- Bomb.
