    • the tremolo is a little slight, good for single note runs but it kind of washes out if you do a bo diddley-type rhythm.

    • What's the tremolo like on it?

    • Yeah , I still like those abums , too. I'm not saying they were remarkably consistent, but I'd hardly say The Ramones embarrassed themselves on their farewell release.

      ''Rainbows" is a lovely song , tho' I like Ronnie Spector's (Prod. by Joey.) version better . She did "Here Today , Gone Tomorrow" , twice, too. Great stuff.

      Two albums after the difficult 80's

      1993: Acid Eaters for the great 60's songs' covers

      1995: Adios Amigos, they came back to the roots with this album - it also includes one of the most beautiful (yes!) Ramones songs (She talks to rainbows)

      Maybe a little OT, but this seemed like a good place to share this poster, since I don't pull it out very often.

      The show was in 2001 about a month after Joey died, at a tiny club in Springfield, OR. It was the 8th Birthday Party for University of Oregon campus radio station 88.1 KWVA. My buddy Goro from The Snukas hand screened these, and only made about 30. He gave me one to put in my shop window, but it went straight into my music collection. Not sure if any more are still around.

      Dee Dee seemed to be in good sprits that night, mixing at the bar during the warm-up bands. He and Goro hit it off, and he brought Goro up onstage to sing Blitzkrieg Bop. It was a fun night. I saw a couple of camcorders running, but haven't seen any footage on the web - let me know if you know of any. I DAT taped it, but haven't been able to find it since I moved 4 years ago... I fear it's gone for good.

    • How was Rotten? I just got it in from a local bookshop, but not sure if it is furniture or really something to dedicate time to.

      MikeL said:

      I'd also like to add "Neon Angel: Memoir of a Runaway" by Cherie Currie, which I just finished this past weekend, and "Rotten" by John Lydon.

    • Well, yeah, but all he has to do is get in the limo and show up. It's not like he has to hump his amp or tune up or anything.

    • VIVA the FLESHTONES!!! I'm a wee too young to have caught any of their 80s live shows, but everytime I've seen 'em lately they go wild like fine wine ages, baby... (& double down on the quality of the songwriting and albums steadily improvin' with every decade)

      John Battles said:

      A

      Point well taken. I first saw The Fleshtones in 1984 , and , make no mistake ,it was a great show , but , they're so much better , right here , right now , right everything.

      YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND SUCH A HIGH ENERGY SHOW , ESPECIALLY FROM SO MANY YOUNGER BANDS WHO NEVER HAD TO PLAY AS THOUGH THEIR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT.

      This is not a lie. Hound Dog has never been bad, but if he'd died before making those seminal Alligator albums, he would be remembered as just another no-name on the third tier. The early singles were okay and worth hearing, but too "controlled." I'm guessing he was wilder in the club. And those Alligator albums captured that wildness in a bottle! Possibly one of the few musicians who sounded better in the 70s than in the 60s!
       
      John Battles said:

      That's what's funny , because when you listen to Hound Dog's pre-70's and pre - Alligator Records (Who took a steady nosedive after his death.) material , it's GOOD, it's honest , but it's not the FOOT - IN - ASS REAL PUNK BLUES "JACK WHITE? NEVER HEARD OF HIM"
      SAVAGENESS he attained in the latter years of his life

      AND THAT IS NOT A LIE , EITHER , EXCEPT THAT , WERE HE STILL LIVING , AND SOUNDING LIKE HE DID IN THE 60'S , HE'D STILL SOUND BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIER ACTS , TODAY.

      PLEASE COME TO CHICAGO.....BUT , DON'T COME FOR "THE BLUES"

    • I do a short daily podcast M-F. It's usually two songs (more if the songs are shorter), under ten minutes and feeds out at 5:55am.

      I do some "theme" days, Monday is usually covers, Thursday is Two for Thursday (because fuck Tuesday, that's why), Friday is usually Psychobilly. Occasionally I'll do a theme week, a couple of weeks ago I did an SST Records week. 

      I'd like it if y'all checked it out. I'd love it if you gave me some feedback. 

      It's over at http://terminalsignal.net

      Thanks!
