Seriously, though, why don't they hook up with Wayne Kramer and get one joint "reunion" band? The NY5? The MC Dolls?
They already did that in the 70s - Gangwar.
Some of the great scenes from the documentary include:
Coooooool.
Nobody does movies about the really fascinating scenes like Tropicalia or Krautrock. They should!
Seriously! Although I've missed each of the Serge Gainsbourg documentary and Jandek documentaries twice.
That man is great. These days, he looks like a German oompah guy, especially in the early 90s footage, where he's wearing goofy suspenders and carrying around a flugelhorn. And, oh yeah, he studied with Stockhausen and masterminded one of the most influential experimental-music rock bands ever.
Wasn't it Malcolm Mooney, not Michael?
Yeah, absolutely. Sorry, the movie ran late, and I've been half-awake all day.
John Perry of The Only Ones. I wonder if he's dead.
He wasn't in 1995 - he turned up at a Huggy Bear gig. I think there were reform rumours a while back
I've been avoiding my work (that's gotta be redundant by now), and I went into some threads I don't usually visit. Found this in Bureaucracy and wanted to share it with the rest of you who don't go in there.
Jon B: My point, which was stated very poorly, was that 27 being equal to three cubed is FUCKING AWESOME, and shouldn't be tossed aside like it's no big deal. Just like Carl Douglas shouldn't be marginalized because he only had one hit. Because that one hit was FUCKING AWESOME!
And so's that post, Jon. So awesome that you should work 3^3=27 into your show and play "Kung Fu Fightin'". Not that I'll be able to hear it since I can never get a connection, but still.... OTOH, I am enjoying the archived anniversary shows & it makes me sorry that I never get to hear the show.
In October they're releasing the album that Elliott Smith was working on at the time of his death.
