    • Ahh, it's Leo, isn't it?

      I haven't seen Spectreman.  I've seen Mirrorman.

    • Dead Boy , Udo Taro Dao Man is the English , phonetic spelling of Ultraman Dao (OR Daeo?). I'm not saying this spelling is correct. That's just how I've heard it from other people. BUT , I WAS TOLD , IN THE 70'S , THAT THE THREE KEY Ultramen were Ultraman , Ultraman Dao , AND ULTRAMAN TARO. 

      I never saw Ultraman , Kamen Rider , Spectreman , etc. on TV in the 70'S OR 80's. i ONLY KNEW ABOUT THEM FROM A FRIEND WHO LIVED in Okinawa ,and another who lived in Thailand , I think.....

      Spectreman , I saw , briefly ,, in the early 80's. But , that was it.

    • Hmm, I had NEVER heard "Udo Taro Dao Man"!  Is it English?  So, I don't know...  There was Ultraman Taro (Tarou) ...

    • Dead Boy , I've always heard it pronounced "Udo Taro Dao Man" in Japanese. I MUST HAVE HEARD IT WRONG . I think even my friend who worked for TSUBURAYA studios said that.....How is it pronounced in JAPANESE ? Can you write it out here ?      

      Back to the subject. Teengenerate played two shows in one night in Chicago in '95. They played the Fireside Bowling alley (Better known for it's UBER - stank men's room. I went to CBGBs. This place was as bad or worse.),  then the Empty Bottle , opening for NEW bOMB tURKS (sORRY , IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THO' The NBT singer told me he saw me at the Bowling alley , and that Teengenerate's set blew him away.). THEY WERE MUCH BETTER LIVE THAN ON RECORD.

      I met Fink , later on. Very polite. WE SPOKE VERY SLOWLY FOR EACH OTHER'S BENEFIT. HE SAID HE WISHED HE COULD HAVE BOWLED WHILE THEY WERE AT THE FIRESIDE BOWL (THEY STOPPED HAVING BOWLING AT SHOWS , EARLIER.) , AND THAT IT WAS A VERY COOL PLACE , THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT IN JAPAN , AS FAR AS PLACES TO PLAY THAT WERE'NT JUST CLUBS AND CONCERT HALLS.........

    • May 15, 2014 8:57 AM CDT
    • I was right! :)

      Maybe, I guess you thought it was Japanese.

    • May 14, 2014 5:21 PM CDT
    • YES , iVE ALWAYS SEEN AND READ IT PRONOUNCED "UDO TARO MAN" , PHONETICALLY.

      If that's not right , how is it pronounced?  

    • May 14, 2014 7:41 AM CDT
    • Udo Taro Man?????????????????????????????????????

      Did you mean Ultraman?

    • May 14, 2014 1:25 AM CDT
    • Someone taped their first show in Chicago . I can be heard shouting all the Japanese I knew -

      Gojira ! Radon ! Ghidora ! Minilla ! Udo Taro Man ! Udo Taro Dao Man ! Furankenshutain !

    • May 12, 2014 11:08 PM CDT
    • Looks great!  Wish I understood Japanese!  :)

    • I found this interesting piece of musical knowledge from Dangerous Minds:

      Henry Rollins produced an unheard album by Charles Manson in the 1980s...

      Henry Rollins has had one fascinating life. He was in one of the most important punk bands of all time, he played Vanilla Ice in a music video, he has been the voiceover actor for Infiniti, he had a talk show on IFC, he had a small part in Jack Frost.....In the 1980s Rollins also produced a full album by Charles Manson for SST, which would have made the noted psychopath and cult leader, who wanted to bring about a race war, labelmates with Bad Brains. The release of the album, entitled Completion, was cancelled due to safety concerns. Only five copies of the album were ever pressed; two belong to Rollins and the other three apparently are Manson’s.

      In December 2010, Rollins participated in an event at the Echoplex in Los Angeles to benefit the Santa Monica radio station KCRW in which he played a variety of ultra-rare tracks, including a live rendition of “Pay to Cum” from the second show Bad Brains ever played, the first-ever Fugazi demo (“Waiting Room”), several Black Flag rarities, and one of the songs from the Manson album Rollins produced for SST. When he played the track—the title of which has, to my knowledge, not been made public—Rollins joked, “I can hear you all listening to your hair grow.”

      In 2008 Rollins told the NME of the correspondence with Manson that led to the recordings:


      “He wrote me a letter out of the blue once and he said, ‘I saw you on MTV and I thought you were pretty cool’.

      “So we corresponded a few times in 1984; I’d just tell him about what we were doing with our new record and he’d send back semi-lucid responses.

      “He made references to The Beach Boys stealing his ideas, which sounded like sour grapes, and told me to tell everybody else to take care of wildlife. That must have been the old hippy in him talking.”

      Rollins outlined that he was very young when he started corresponding with Manson—who was sentenced to life in 1971 for the infamous Manson Family Murders which took place two years earlier.

      “At the time I was very young and having him write me letters made me feel very intense and heavy,” he said. “I’d always know I’d have a letter in my PO Box from him because the woman behind the counter at the post office would give you this awful look.

      “His letters would always have swastikas on them so they were easy to spot.”

      According to a 2010 article in The Guardian, “A lawyer representing Manson wrote to SST, asking them to help complete and release a collection of Manson’s songs. Then as now, Manson was serving a life sentence for his role in the Tate/LaBianca murders. ... Rollins agreed to produce the songs but a string of death threats forced SST to call off the project.”

      In the mind of almost everyone, Manson is first and foremost a homicidal lunatic. It’s quite clear that in his own mind, Manson is first and foremost a musician. During his detainment before his 1971 trial, Manson was “very anxious for his music to be heard” and enlisted his friend Phil Kaufman to get his music released. Indeed, an album called Lie: The Love & Terror Cult was released on March 6, 1970. As recently as 2010-11 Manson has released two albums of folk music on Magic Bullet Records called Air and Trees.

    • Radio What Wave Playlist May 8/2014. All Teenage Head show to help celebrate the book release of: Gods Of The Hammer

       

      1. The Flamin' Groovies....Teenage Head....from the LP of the same name and this is where Teenage Head got their name back in 1975.

      2. Teenage Head....Picture My Face....live recording from 10/31/78 and broadcast on Q107 in Toronto.

      3. Teenage Head...Little Boxes....as above.

      4. Teenage Head....Tearin' Me Apart....their first single from 1978.

      5. Teenage Head...Top Down....another 7" from 1978 and my absolute fave version of Top Down as they bring in the motorcycle sound effects and the Beach Boy style harmony vocals. If they had broken up at this point, this record would have made them legends in their own time....but Teenage Head did so many more things in their career....ie manic performances, riots, appeared in a movie or 2, released many records, CD's etc.

      6. Teenage Head....Curtain Jumper....from their self titled debut LP that came out in 1979. If you're searching for their first LP, go for the second issue on OPM Music from 1981....WAY better mix and the picture on the rear cover of the LP is smaller than the original. The difference between the 2 releases is quite apparent on even a casual listen.

      7. Teenage Head...Wild One.....recorded live in Edmonton 2/1980 and broadcast over the radio. Around this time, the band was moving towards it's peak. Constant gigging, partying and touring across Canada to insane audiences!! Then the SHIT started to happpen....if you were in Toronto on June 2/1980, the place to be was Ontario Place, an outdoor facility which was hosting live bands. On the bill, the one man band Nash The Slash!! Master of the tape loop, electric mandolin, electric violin, load of other electronic noises as well as being covered in tape from head to toe. Yep, this was the act to catch......except Nash was opening up for out heroes, Teenage Head!! The streetcars, trolleys and subways were packed with kids going to see Teenage Head at this show. Hot on their second LP, Frantic City and the AM radio (but only in Canada) Let's Shake, this was the band to see....unfortunatly WAAAYYYY too many people showed up and couldn't get in or were turned away. What do you do when you can't get in to a free show, why you riot!! Destroy a few police cars and join in on the ultraviolence and scare the shit out of the average Torontonian! And the final result, no more bands playing at Ontario Place, a ban that was in effect for several years due to the shit that went down.

      And now we go to September 1980 and the band has a major car accident on the way back from a gig. Guitarist Gord Lewis is out of commission and won't be playing guitar for almost a year!! All those plans to go to the US have been put on hold. A fill in guitarist, David Bendith is recruited and the band soldiers on, playing only in Canada and this delays the finishing of the 3rd LP.

      8. Teenage Head....Total Love....from the Frantic City LP 1980.

      9. Teenage Head....Let's Shake....single version from 1980.

      10.Teenage Head....Get Off My Back....live at The Spoke and Rim, Western University 2/18/1981. I recorded this live from CHRW back when it was broadcast live over the airwaves. It was only available on cablecast and only a portion of the city could pick it up. I lived with my parents at this time and was able to tape the entire show. Included are some great Frankie and Nick quotes, both battling for supreme smartassery!! A few of the comments probably should have been censored at the time, but what the fuck!!! It's rock and roll and how else would you ever learn that Elvis Costello was hung like the heater hose on a Mac truck?? And that he had Frankie's eyes popping out of his skull like a fish on the line....important trivia that we all need to know....and what was Frankie hinting about happened between him and Keith Demic...hahahahaha.

      11. Teenage Head....Kissin' The Carpet.....as above. And did you know London is the VD capitol Canada? Not only have Teenage Head mentioned it, but also the Brutal Knights! Therefore it must be fact!! Why do you think Keith Demic was singing about 'wear your raincoat in the rain'?

      12. Teenage Head...Something Else....as above.

      13. Teenage Head....C'mon Everybody.....as above.

      14. Teenage Head....Teenage Beer Drinkin' Party....from the Some Kinda Fun LP

      Right around this time our good pal Dave Rave phoned in to talk about all things Teenage Head. Dave was in the band at the begininng and joined fulltime around 82/83 and eventually replaced Frankie when he left.

      15. Dave Rave....Picture My Face....recorded live on Radio What Wave 8/1/13 when we had Dave on for a full show!!!

      There was sooooooo much more Teenage Head that i wanted to play....we'll have to do part 2 one of these days! Big Thanx to Dave Rave for making the time for us here at Radio WW!!! Hope you enjoyed our little chat with Dave and our Teenage Head special!

      Next week, we celebrate Ray Condo Day as it's Ray Condo Day in Toronto on May 16th!! We'll be playing only Ray Condo music....some of his punk stuff, Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners and some of his later swing material!! There'll be lots of rare and live stuff from the WW Archves throughtout the show AND,  we'll be chatting with Gayle Hurmuses who will be releasing a photo book about Ray Condo on the 16th. It'll be an action packed show you don't want to miss!!!

      See ya next week!

       

      And here's a link to the podcast:

    • Good call , MikeL . I remember seeing that on TV and not knowing who Sparks were  except that I'd seen them a couple of times in Circus magazine.

      If you're a Plimsouls fan (Always been on the fence with them. Saw them in '81 , and made a mental note to see them again if I had the chance. 25 years later, when I had that chance , for almost 30 bucks , I said , that's OK.....) , you should see "Valley Girl" (You should see it , anyway , it's a dumb fun teen comedy that tries to make a statement .....But  a young Nicholas Cage as an LA Punk Rocker is laughable at best. )....Tho ' there's is'nt a cameo , they get decent- sized screen time , as does Josie Cotton , VOTED "BEST DRESSED WOMAN IN ROCK'N'ROLL" in CREEM for refusing to look like a bleached - blonde skank-ing mantis.... 

      GAYE ADVERT - about 10 seconds , "The Punk Rock Movie".

      THE SEEDS - "PSYCH OUT "- Same deal as their pals , The LOLLIPOP SHOPPE. THEY ARE'NT IN THE MOVIE LONG ENOUGH (Though long enough ,I guess , to not be called a "Cameo" by most.)  , AND SKY SEEMS TO BE DIRECTED NOT TO LIP-SYNCH SO HE WON'T GET A SAG CARD , THO' I USED TO THINK IT WAS THAT HE WAS TOO STONED.   Of course , he got to lip - sych "Pushin' Too Hard" and actually say a few lines in his endearing mumble'n'bumble patter on the TV show "The Mothers In Law". 

      Chocolate Watchband - "The Love - ins". Their MUSIC is all over this picture , but the band is only visible from the back , and once , in a full - screen shot , for mere seconds. When I interviewed Dave Aguilar in the 90's , he told me he hated "Riot On sUNSET sTRIP" so much ,he neve rbothered seeing "The Love - Ins" ( I mailed him a copy.).  He later told another interviewer , the reason the CWB is shown so briefly in teh movie is that they were being made an example of , for all the pranks they pulled on the set.

    • I liked the appearance by Sparks in "Roller Coaster," a 70s thriller about a psycho sabotaging roller coasters.

    • Chris, Ya woulda been an early MOD ?! GET THE BOOT IN !!!!!!       I'm kidding.

    • John Battles said:

      'Little Sister" b/w "Marie's The Name (Of His Latest Flame)" , the perfect Rock'n'Roll record , did come out in 1961.   The Stones ARE THOUGHT OF AS HAVING FORMED in 1963 , though their original incarnation , as Little Boy Blue and The Blue Boys , with Dick Taylor of The Pretty Things on Bass , were together as early as 1962.  The Beatles , I think , formed as The Silver Beatles , with Stu Sutcliffe , in 1960 , but , I may be mistaken.

      In The UK , Mods were making their presence known (It's believed Mod went back as far as The Late 50's.) , and Teds , no doubt alienated by The Rock'n'Roll of the day (As were Rockers) distanced themselves from current trends.

      Elvis performed just two shows , in Memphis and Honolulu in 1961. THE ONE EXISTING RECORDING , THE LATTER GIG , PROVED AN ALL - AROUND TRIUMPH.HE WOULD'NT PERFORM A LIVE CONCERT (BARRING THE 68 COMEBACK TV SPECIAL) AGAIN , UNTIL 1969.


      If I was around in England in the late '50s, I think I would have been an early mod.
