Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
This is all I've got Tom:
[Pierce] met Kid Congo Powers and insisted he learn guitar, and they formed the Creeping Ritual in 1980-81....the name changed to Gun Club after a suggestion by the Circle Jerks' Keith Morris....Jeffrey's longtime friend, then-roommate.
Sorry to butt in. A hypodermic is sometimes referred to as a "gun." OK, butting out, now.
The dBs opening for REM on my list of Best Shows EVAH. At the Tower Theater in Philadelphia (well Upper Darby) in, uh, '84?
Happy Birthday Bicyclops!!
Another band covered it on one of the Bloodshot comps too.
Trailer Bride. Melissa Swingle also sings on Alejandro Escovado's tepid cover of "Sexxx Beat" on his Bourbonitis Blues EP.

I'm sure that was a factor in the name selection, now that you mention it. Sure beats Creeping Ritual.

Saw that tour! Saw them in Providence, RI actually.
Also saw the following bands open for REM at different shows: Let's Active, Husker Du, The Neats.
I think I saw them with Let's Active. Brain fuzzy. sooo long ago.
Husker Du playing at an Elk's Club in Philly (in '85/'86?) was one of my other best shows. I saw Bob Mould recently here in baltimore and I told him that and he said someone else had come up to him that night and said they were at that same show.
(I also told him about how they helped me survive high school and how i quoted "Chartered Trip Away" in my yearbook and how he looked fantastic and how I do pilates now... I was xtra babble-icious fangirl!)
I bet Bob dug that.
I bet Bob dug that.
He did, I think. He was a little bemused but nice.

this is where I saw Husker Du way way back inna day:
funny the stuff you can find on the internet. what i really want now is a list of all the bands that opened for REM on their various tours so I can jog my feeble brain.
