I'm guessing that the fIREHOSE reference you're referring to is "Good Time
Boys" (_Mother's Milk_; "...he'll tell you 'bout a band called fIREHOSE!").
The same line which mentions fIREHOSE also mentions John Doe (of X),
Fishbone, and Thelonious Monster.

Speaking of fIREHOSE, does "Under the Influence of the Meat Puppets" count?
The song doesn't mention the Meat Puppets in the lyrics, but the title does,
and they are big MP fans (witness the number of times the Minutemen covered
"Lost").

On _Flood_ (I think the song is called "Twisting"), They Might Be Giants
mention the Young Fresh Fellows.

  Of course not! I meant that to be pro-choice usually means that one
believes moral/personal issues should not be legislated but left to
each individual to make his/her own personal decisions.

 So, even addressing Bush/Quayleatatoe's 'Family Values' platform
indicates to me that they do believe in upholding values through
legislation.  This isn't completely accurate but I think it's an 
indication of potentially dangerous politics.

 I would like to suggest that we all move this now non-Zappa thread
to another group. Any suggestions? alt.politics.zappa-fans?

 Oh, one ore thing, I truly do think that Cuomo is one the most
brilliant political personalities alive today. He's a deep thinker
who puts people first. I generally have a great distaste for all
politicians but I find Mario very appealing, maybe it's just because
of his oratorical skills but he's got something I like.

Dark Side Of The Moon was released 1974. Wish You Were Here was released
1975. The Wall was released 1979, and I know The Final Cut was released
in the 1980's. Pink Floyd had been in existence since 1964 and had been
recording since 1967, so it was ten years into their career when they
did "Dark Side of the Moon".

The Animals song Montery is the ultimate name dropper I can think of.
It mentions (and imiates) most of the bands that appeared at the
Montery pop festival (the Who, Hendrix, and lots of others I can't

a friend of mine who is assistant dramaturg at the La Jolla Playhouse
called last night.  i'd seen a blurb on the newly renovated, updated,
decaffeinated production of the old Who rock musical _Tommy_ on MTV, and
asked her how the old boy was doing.

"oh, it's easy.  it's slick.  it's seamless.  they've distilled the story
down so that anyone can understand it.  it's incredibly bland.  and it's a
smash hit, setting all sorts of southern california ticket sales records. 
we've extended it for months and months.  i don't think it will ever go
away."

on the up side, elissa got to work a bit with pete townshend.  both he and
daltrey were brought out to help update the production and make it more
tasty to a new 90s audience.  elissa was never a Who fan before -- and
probably hasn't become one now -- but she raves about the sharp wit and
intellectual prowess of townshend.  "you haven't lived 'til you see him
handle a press conference," she said.

"yeah, i always wondered why God didn't spread the self-awareness around a
little more in that group," i said.  "it seems that Pete cornered the
market."

"oh god, that's so true!" she raved.  "roger daltrey ..." and her voice
dissolved into laughter.  "marck, i wish you could have seen this
50-year-old guy with long, blond "tommy" locks, show up at the opening
wearing his _Tommy_ white jumpsuit."

i shudder to imagine it.

has anyone on the west coast shelled out bucks to see this yet?

Is the song "Talk Talk" a cover of the old song "Talk Talk" by Music Machine?
(At least I'm pretty sure that's the name of the group that did it--mid to late
 60's I believe.  Definitely a primordial punk tune.)

Oh yeah, if you can't find the song on 7" or album (trust me--you wont), you 
can get it on the "Nuggets" series that Rhino put out a years ago.  Do they 
still make that series?  Great.

  Here is a few lyrics from a Barclay James Harvest song called
  'A Tale of Two Sixties' which is by no means one of their best songs
 but does fit the category....

	I'm cutting out now before the NEW WAVE
	takes my surfboard flair
	Remember the time when Zappa said
	'Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hair'

	There's so many who's who's Rolling Stone's
	Rod Stewart's and Small Faces
	And Tommy's the king of Pinball flings
	that chased MY GENERATION

	David Bowie was Hunky Dory
	Aladdin quite insane
	Give me the sound of Arthur Lee with
	Forever Changes I'll Remember
	and more again don't leave me ever
	Buddy Holly said 'Baby, please be mine...'
	    ..  all the time.


  By the way, is it 'cause I live in a different country, or what, I get the
  impression that all/most of you don't really give a sod about BJH.  From
  the albums I have(which is most of them) I think that they have done
  some stuff which easily rates among the best of them, especially the
  Wooly and John songs.

  If you don't like them, please say why - do you think they have sold out?

I didn't get the feeling that it was totally ignored.  One of Live's
songs was in MTV's regular rotation for a while.  At least I saw it
several times, and I don't really watch MTV religiously.  So either
it was being played a lot or I just tuned in at the right time.

Some Pearl Jam members were previously members of other successful
(i.e. on college radio) bands -- Green River, Mother Love Bone,
Temple of the Dog.  The popularity of these bands, especially 
Mother Love Bone, probably had a lot to do with the bands success.
It provided them with an instant fan base.

The styles (Pearl Jam and Live) do seem similar, although I like things 
a little bit edgier (a la Green River/Mudhoney).

Yes, John has signed with Polygram for the US. He owes MCA one more album
(after "The One"). His older catalogue, everything until he signed
with Geffen I believe, will soon be reissued by Polygram. There is currently
a 6 month sell-off period, during which MCA is allowed to sell their
remaining inventory. You'll notice the John catalogue at very cheap
prices in many stores, as a result. Polygram has promised better masters
and better packaging. I'd also imagine that Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
will finally be issued on one CD.

Well, FZ hasn't done any guitar playing since 1988, and isn't very likely
to, given his health.  Steve Morse is great, but I haven't felt much 
desire to get his last couple of discs based on what I've heard.

Let's see, someone else mentioned Helios Creed... how about

  Elliott Sharp, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Sonic Youth, Robert Fripp,
  Justin Broderick (sp?), Sonny Sharrock, Forever Einstein, Loop, 
  Robert Quine, Skip McDonald, Dean Ween, Jim O'Rourke, MX-80, Michael
  Brook, Helmet, Nicky Skopelitis, Vini Reilly, Vernon Reid, Bill
  Frisell, Glenn Branca, Rudolph Grey, etc.

Specific recommendations for a good guitar fix:

  Elliott Sharp / Carbon - Tocsin (1992)
  Fred Frith - Step Across the Border (1990)
  Rudolph Grey - Mask of Light (1991?)
  Henry Kaiser - Re-Marrying for Money (1988?)
  Bill Frisell - Before We Were Born (1987)
  (various) - Guitarrorists (1991)

Hi,
 I'm new at this but I need info on the following.

In 1985, I heard a mini LP by a US(Californian?) band called POP ART, which
played 60's influenced garage rock. The mini-LP is self-titled and contained 5
tracks. Local record shops that I have been to have not been able to find the
album and it is not listed in any CD/Record catalogues which I have seen. Does
anybody out there know whether the album is available and how to obtain a copy?

I would appreciate recommentdations from fans of New York hardcore music for some
vital hardcore albums to lay my hands on. 

Thanking all in advance.

Always...me!
