Actually, when I saw them at Maxwell's, they did a ton of old songs like
"Dinosaur", "Snow", and "I Know", along with the ripping saxophone parts
in "Apple".  I still wish they had done "Earthbound", though.

Well, I saw the show at Maxwell's where the Spinanes did NOT play.  They
did play at Bicycle and at the Wetlands, but unfortunately, the Wetlands
show started at 4 PM or so and so when my friend Jon and I got there at
5:15 or so, Oswald 5-0 had only 2 songs left and the Spinanes had
already played.  Wish I had seen them.  SVS and Oswald were still great
at Wetlands, with a smaller crowd than at Maxwell's  :( .  In the two
times I saw them, there were perhaps a total of 50 people there to see
them, with most being in the other bands playing on a particular night
or at least on a guest list (unlike me).

Well, I like them for a lot of reasons.  They play a totally bitchin'
farfisa organ (the instrument of the gods), they have really intelligent
lyrics (listen real close to "Refrigerator Door" some time), and they
just sound right to me.  Admittedly, it might not be for everyone.  But
early 70's Cleveland music had a lot of great things to offer, and it
seems that people tend to recognize only the noisier parts, like Rocket
From The Tombs and The Electric Eels and the Mirrors and Styrenes, while
leaving out quieter but still interesting music by the likes of Human
Switchboard.  And if anyone has one of their lps which they don't want
anymore, drop me a line. :)

Yes, I'd say so, maybe not quite so weird in places is all (like
Spider).  Their first (self-titled) album I'd describe as more
electronic, Lincoln is... hm... pretty solid and weird, hard to say

To quote the Ottawa Citizen:

  As for the NASA ambassadorial post, it came about when the group,
having decided on the _Apollo 18_ album title, approached the space
agency archives looking for cover artwork.
  "It's not a post you can aspire to, it just has to fall into your
lap," jokes Linnell. "NASA was intrigued enough by our project and the
fact that we had a world tour booked, that they offered to put us on
their agenda of activities and we agreed to carry the message.
  "It's the celebration of international space exploration in
opposition to military uses of space and commercial exploitation of
space.  It's an attempt to get back to that initial idealistic concept
that started the whole program.  International borders should end on
earth.  Space is not another place to be quartered up and armed."

Anyhow, there ya go!  There's a TMBG mailling list, if you're
interested...

First of all, let me point you to an excellent book on the subject.
"England's Dreaming - The Sex Pistols and Punk Rock", by Jon Savage (Faber
& Faber -- I could look up the ISBN# if you want me to). Well-researched,
detailed, with awesome photographs. Totally brilliant except for the bits
where Savage tries to prove that he deserves a Ph.D. in sociology. Anyway...

Believe it or not, but at a very early stage, they actually did a Rod

That last US tour was really a shambles, according to Savage.
It was no coincidence that they split up right after the SF gig.
Many articles and reviews from 1976-77 suggest that they at that time
were a great live act.

That's *McLaren*. Who originally wanted a rock group that could make
PR for his clothes shop.

Anyway, one thing that Savage reveals in his book
is that the TV appearance that shot them into stardom and infamy,
the Bill Grundy interview, was not at all a planned thing, as has
been claimed. On the contrary, their guest spot with Grundy was caused
by the pulling out of the group originally intended for the
programme. The Pistols were merely a last-minute replacement.
And the group that the Pistols replaced? Queen -- believe it or not.

I've heard that Flying Nun is going to release a Doublehappys compilation. 
That would be really incredible. I was totally blown away by the two Double-

Wow, another Able Tasmans fan. This band is just too good a secret to keep. I
just got a copy of their first CD, _A Cuppa Tea And A Lie Down_. It's 
fantastic, all those musical styles coming together like that. The CD also
includes their first EP plus a couple of other tracks. Essential stuff. I

Here's Velocity Girl's discography (I am almost positive that this is complete.
Please tell me if it's not)

- "What Kind of Heaven Do You Want?" A Slumberland Compilation.  DRYL 001.
  V.G.'s "Clock" is on this out of print 45 as well as songs by Black
  Tambourine and Powderburns.  Out of Print.

- "The Pre-Moon Syndrome Post-Summer (of Noise) Celebration Week!" This is a
  12 inch comp of a bunch of bands playing live at D.C. Space.  V.G. plays
  "Blackzilla".  This record is not really on any label that I can see, but
  most of the songs are C+P by Sun Dog Propaganda.  Other bands include: Unrest
  The Go Team, Whorl, and the Reverbmotherfuckers.

- "I Don't Care If You Go" 45 on Slumberland.  DRYL 004.  The other song is
  called "Always".  First pressing black, second yellow.  Out of print.

- "I Don't Care If You Go" import 45 on Summershine.  SHINE 006.  Released
  first (and maybe only) in Australia.  "I Don't..." version has more acoustic
  guitar and the flip side "Not At All" is really good.

- "My Forgotten Favorite" 45 on Slumberland.  DRYL 010.  The other song is
  called "Why Should I Be Nice To You?".  First pressing black, second red, and
  third purple.

- "...One Last Kiss" compilation CD on SpinArt.  The CD includes a track called
  "Forgotten Favorite" which is the same version as on the single.

- "Warm/Crawl" on one side of a SubPop split single with Tsunami.  Since this 
  is the January 1992 singles club 45, it will be expensive.

- "Fortune Cookie Prize" compilation CD on Simple Machines.  This is a tribute
  album to Beat Happening and V.G. covers "Tales of Brave Aphrodite".

- An unamed SubPop promo CD.  There are five songs on the disk, all of which 
  have been released.  This is not, to my knowledge, available in stores, but
  then again, you never know.

Soon to come out:

- A Slubmerland V.G. collection with all the Slumberland tracks.

- A full-length SubPop album.


That's about the size of it.

Yeah, that's a stretch.  I could see it tho'.  The one that people

Okay, this is reasonably obvious that alternative is non-popular music. 
But the real question is, what exactly is popular?  Fugazi sold over
100,000 copies of "Repeater".  Does this still make them alternative,
even though they sold more copies of that album than most top-40 groups
sell of theirs?  I still say they're alternative becuase they provide an
alternative to the top-40 culture.  Not for any other reason.  I
couldn't care if a group has alot of listeners.  What does it matter to
me if alot of people listen to a group?  They're not me.  What attracts
me to the music is that it isn't that horrendous top-40 stuff.

Also, as someone else correctly pointed out, Black Flag guitarist Greg
Ginn started SST records in the very early eighties.  Sub Pop wasn't
started until 1986 (I believe) and Sub Pop's first release was the "Sub
Pop 100" comp (or maybe it was a Green River record).  I dunno.  At any
rate, SST doesn't really have any bands left that are still recording. 
They're reduced to putting out lame comps.  As a label, they're
bankrupt.  Sub Pop is still at least signing new acts and putting out
some decent records.
