Right, J Mascis worked with Barry Adamson (former Magazine bassist) on
that project. (Strange pairing, no? But even stranger would have to be the
rumored collaboration of Braindead Sound Machine and the Jazz Butcher on
an upcoming project :-o) I have read that on one piece of the _GF&L_

Mascis, he's such a nut...

By now you have probably heard that Columbia has signed Mercury Rev, the
exceptionally bizarre, difficult-but-rewarding acid psychedelic band led
by former Flaming Lip John "Dingus" Donahue. But if you thought that was
strange, guess who Elektra just signed... no, not El Vez... WEEN. Yes,
Ween. Ween, the playable-at-any-speed, high-on-Scotchgard, demented,
crazed band that Spin praised as "the greatest band on Earth" (typical
Spin hyperbole, but they are pretty good.)

Dean and Gene Ween, headed for a major label. Who's next, Foetus? :)

But seriously, what are the big labels thinking here? They know they can't
sell enough CDs of either of these bands to turn a profit... I smell a
Redd Kross-style fiasco coming, folks...

I'm not a big Nick Cave fan, but I travelled 700 miles to see him in SF
anyway.  The show was great.  Some of the songs I remember were "The Ship
Song", "The Weeping Song", and of course a terrific rendition of "Carny".
Nick did "Carny" as a request and stated that they hadn't played it in five
years.  He read the lyrics from a notebook.  There were also many songs from
"Henry's Dream".  All in all, quite an incredible show, made a bigger fan out
of me.

I know of a few other Ramones cover bands. In Australia there is a band
called the Joeys, that actually have released some vinyl items. I have a
single with 'Rockaway Beach' on the A-side, and a composition of their own
on the flip side.

Here in Sweden there is a band called the Gabba Heys that only do Ramones
songs. I've seen them, really fun. Then there is this band called the Hymans
(Joey Ramone's real last name is Hyman) that have released a few singles with
Ramoneish type music.

In Finland there is another band called Ne Lumeet (sp?) that do Ramones covers
in the Finnish language. They've made some albums, haven't heard them, though
I'd love to do. BTW, their singer is a carbon copy of Joey. Uncanny.

I have all of the rem albums on cd, with the exception of their
greatest hits (released by IRS, I'm not talking about eponymous).
I think they all sound at least good, in terms of sound quality 
alone.

Life's Rich Pageant (the cd with superman) is the favorite among some
of my rem-liking friends, however, i disagree and choose reckoning as
my favorite (not necessarily their best) rem album. 

BTW rem is supposed to be releasing a new studio album this fall (sept?)

Does anyone know anything about the band LSD (from the Chicago area, I think)?
I saw a clip about them on eMpTyV (of all places) and they were killer.  My
questions about them are:

     What is their history?
     What albums do they have out and which ones are the best? 
     What label are they on?
     Would a national record store chain carry them and if so which?

I really want to find some of their stuff to add to my collection.

Organization: U.C. San Diego - SIO
NNTP-Posting-Host: coast.ucsd.edu

The thrash group Vincent's Ear kicks off their Live/Dive
tour '92 in San Francisco tomorrow night at Morty's.  They have been training
in the Redwoods outside Santa Cruz in preparation for this assault on the 
jaded masses.  The Ear, as they sometimes like to be known, have released two
albums independently, _Give_ and _Welcome to Palm Springs_.  While the
success of groups like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Red Hot Chile Peppers
have given thrash a popular surge, Vincent's Ear carves (no pun intended)
into the genre and creates a space all their own, combining youthful 
anger with a wicked sense of humor. 

If you are tired of the 3-ring circus that big stadium shows have
become, if you would like to be part of the raw energy that this group
makes possible in smaller venues, or if you want to remind yourself what
live music is all about, Vincent's Ear is for you.  I would be interested
in hearing any feedback anyone has about their live performances.

Here is a list of the dates and venues.

		Vincent's Ear
		Live/Dive Tour Itinerary



26 August	San Francisco, CA	Morty's
28 August	Garberville, CA		The Cellar
29 August	Eureka, CA		The Powerstation (cancelled)

True, true. If you would start thinking for a change, you would see that
I was *not* saying that anyone sold out. I was disputing the previous
poster's logic in saying that bands like REM and Nirvana "sold out"
while Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. haven't. The fact is, they all sell
millions of records each. That's all I said. Their logic implied that
since Nirwanna(bes) and REM have "sold out" 'cause they sell lots and
lots of records, but the Pearl Jam hasn't because they've only sold
lots of records. (Er...) BTW - I thought 'Nevermind' was okay, but not
something I'd spend money on. I don't think they've sold out. So there.

Strangeways is not my most listened to Smiths' album, but I think you missed
the whole idea of Girlfriend. Seems to me they had, as most people do, a 
relationship of good and bad times. He remembers the bad times, when he
"could have murdered her," and regrets them as he sits by her bedside. 
He definitely does not want her to die. This is a very sad song.

If you want to argue with me, please do!
