I totally forgot about this. Took a look on that myspace page (something I couldn't do really before because of crappy internet connection/computer problems ) and all I can find is that it played at some film festival last year. Nothing else. Oh well.

I also would really like to know that!Only saw the Trailer from the official (?) myspace site.

I thought those two small buttons on the front near the left were what you used to change between 45 and 33. That knob with the red light? I remember some kind of turntable that had a pitch thing like that. When the red light came on, you knew youhad correct speed.

Yeah, the pitch slider on the right, that's what I meant. Didn't remember the term. Anyway,I never saw the point. Some turntables had a pitch adjuster that was more like a knob that was hard to twist but I think those were on Sony turntables. It had like a little light that would let you know when you finally were on the correct pitch. Definetly a need for 45 and 33 knob.

Do you mean the pitch adjust slider on the right, or the 45/33 speed adjustment knob on the left?

Well that stinks. It was a good product. Only thing I didn't like was the speed adjuster (but I'm not a DJ either).

Why on earth would they do that? It's the industry standard, nothing even comes close for broadcast duties that I've come across. If you had enough of them you could probably invade a small island nation using them for ammo!

Panny made the announcement that they'd cease Technic sproduction because of "a decline in demand for these analog products and also the growing difficulty of procuring key analog components necessary to
sustain production." In a word: obsolescence.

3.5 million SL-1200 turntables sold since 1972. Countless audio mixers and stereo headphones that also bear the Technics name. But with sales of analog decks being just 5% of what they were 10 years ago,
Panasonic's finally pulled the plug on a classic.

What made Technics so good? A reliable Direct Drive turning mechanism. A heavy, rock-solid 27 pound base. And three decades of tradition.

I was very heavy into Teenage Fanclub in the 90's, also liked Shonen Knife. Saw TF with Mudhoney once, then once with Afghan Whigs, I think. I finally listened to TF because of the Big Star comparisions, but I ended up liking them so much because they use a lot of Neil Young chord sequences... a lot of them.

Jeez, ya gotta include the Dutch Outsiders in this one!
Also, the NEW ENGLAND TEEN SCENE series specializes in the moody folk punkers, I'm thinkin'...

Yeah, maybe... Still doesn't give him a lot of room to be throwing around wickedly backhanded compliments.

Bebe Buell claims in her autobiography that Keith was the real heart and soul of the band musically before he got into heroin, so maybe that's why so much of the Stones' output was kind of spotty in the 70s and beyond.



Ken said:

I don't think that Keith has much room to talk about quality of music post 1972 or so. Or being overblown.

For that matter... What's wrong with playing bars in New Jersey?

Keef is not ripping, he's saying that there's been nothing better than B.S. in tha last 35+ years. That's quite a compliment!

LOL! I do like Springsteen, but I can see your point. And yeah, many people do consider Meatloaf to be an even more over the top derivative of Springsteen. BTW, I like Meatloaf too, but he's more of a guilty pleasure. BTW, I love that picture you use of Lester Bangs for your profile.

Further proof that Keith's musical tastes are those of a true rock and roll fan. Springsteen's stuff is definitely "overblown" to the point that it mostly sounds like it's from some godawful Broadway rock musical, ala Meatloaf's stuff.

Now THAT would be a potentially awesome movie...the tripping Elevators VS. 60's redneck Texas and the cops, the insane power of their live show in its prime, bringing free-style acid-rawk to San Francisco (via Texan Chet Helms) when all the bands that are known for acid-rock were still playing good-timey folk, the Elevators sad self-destructive career choices, and drugs drugs drugs drugs...

They should just make it about the 13th Floor Elevators instead. Drugs, drugs, drugs, cops, rock & roll, Janis Joplin, drugs, crazy people, the Austin psych scene, drugs, cave dwelling, drugs, and drugs. All the bases covered right there.

"Jack The Ripper" by Jack & The Rippers, FORT WORTH TEEN SCENE VOL. 2.

Oh yeah and The Decemberists (I think that's their name) wrote a song about the Shankill Butchers. They're not generally thought of as serial killers though, it's kind of borderline. Their story is far more fucked up than any serial killer's.

Slayer did a couple - Dead Skin Mask about Ed Gein and 213 about that Jeffrey Dahmer chap.

did a set of serial killers on the radio a couple of weeks ago (some already mentioned)...

One Way Streets: Jack The Ripper (Sunrise)
Tutu & the Pirates: Wham Bam Son Of Sam (Sub-Urban Insult Rock For The Anti/Lectual)
Hollywood Squares: Hillside Strangler (Square)
Viletones: Richard Speck (A Taste Of Honey)
Adverts: Gary Gilmore’s Eyes (Anchor)
Mentally Ill: Gacy’s Place (Autistic)
Le Face: Tylenol Killer (Isolation)
Donnas: I Wanna Be A Unabomber (Radio X)

Harry Horror - Gern hab ich die Frauen gesägt (I Loved sawing women) about Fritz Honka (german Mass Murderer).The 7" was forbidden due to the personal rights of Honka. Heres is a youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-fuUseFebY

They were an all-female band from Sacramento, CA, who put out a few CDs in the early 2000s. I discovered them on last.fm, and I really liked this one song called "Snapshot," which is on their "Take Off" release from 2001. The rest of the album is pretty good too ("Snapshot" happens to be the standout track). I was just wondering if anyone else around here discovered them or got to see them live.

The first two things I thought of:

The screams that start every track of Funhouse

and (this will blow some cred) the scream at the end of the guitar solo before the last chorus of "Won't get Fooled Again"). All these years later, despite all the overplay and the whole CSI thing, it still gets me.
