I remember when this was number one. I was in the car with my parents on a Sunday evening coming back from somewhere. Drove my dad absolutely spare as it went on & on & on and I kept saying 'it will be over in a minute'. Great song & a top jam Bucky.
Oh - thank you for this great trip down memory lane - LOVE her:) Been off line for a while so thought I'd check what you were up to first - so delighted! Performance Art/Music - I don't care -I really think she is genius,I got to see her in the '80's - lucky me: floating clouds made of cotton balls:)
@lesakramer5 I've missed you. I need more than two musical foils (@debutch and @adrian4acn) on this site. p.s. you lucky, lucky...seeing Laurie Anderson live.
Just posted an Iggy and Stooges show I went to in SF in 2011 but LOL kept calling him Ziggy as that's my dog's name ...but I am true fan (she said very seriously). How embarrassing, but quite funny:)
@BukowskiThat's my Ziggy and I just saw your comment and you didn't put me down for saying Ziggy not Iggy Thx:)...I am serious, my room mate had never heard off him yet she climbed her way to the front and as I said licked his spit - I was floating in the pit - was thick - fell down/shoved down a few times, scared but would tug on peoples jeans - get pulled up - no harm - the good old days when the pit was a caring place:)
@lesakramer5 Brilliant! (I knew you meant Iggy when you said Ziggy). Yes, the good old days when if someone fell down in the mosh pit you helped to pick them up, tacit understanding. Unless it was a King Kurt gig; and then all the niceties where suspended. WOW! They were rough gigs!
@Bukowski -Oh and do I have some great Iggy stories - I lived in Orlando when he played at the House of Blues and my friend's band opened for him so I got to go to back stage, but the HOB back stage is like a luxury suite...and what i saw there, well..I love Iggy soo much not sure I will repeat - let's just say it involves a pool table, a very well fed woman, and I had to quickly exit stage left to the regular room where the cocktails were:)
@Bukowski Do you even want to hear about what he does when he has to go poop and he is on stage? I can tell you - he just shakes it out from the top of his jeans to the bottom - what, Iggy's gonna stop a show to go..NOPE! It's extreme, but in my mind, an artist can't be stopped from making art:) He is Way above GG Allen - who I will not see - my poor friend owned a club and GG literally shat all over the place - got a great clip - I think the hairstyles of the newscasters are scarier:)
@Bukowski i was so very lucky to live in Cambridge/Boston in the ''80's Yes to so many amazing bands..but if you want my stand out...It was seeing Philp Glass doing an opertta at the American Repertory Theater (Cambridge) - Fall of the House of Usher...I have and always will love performance art - that, to this day - my fav ...site specific temporary installations is where it's at:)
oh I know I have been in some rough Pots but I will tell you that in the beginning in the eighties they were gentle if you fell down you tug and people would pick you up in the nineties you could get your jaw broken
@debutchOh do I have stories:) Yes, I WILL take the love - lol -Just let me know wht you want? MY Great PIL story (sorry I love the Sex Pistols...and the live PIL show was - umm - a story; how anyone can get up front -I know how to do it - been doing it for over 20 years - LOL...How NOT to get booted out of an Iggy Pop show when your best friend is out of her mind? Yes....I have the solution to that - make quick friends with sound guy, so when security comes you have an ally;saved me in 2011:)
I think if I reflect, my best music story is about desperation to hear good music...in order to do that we would, as, teenagers, have to break through locked fences in order to get to the top of the ridge in West Marin to hear true FM radio....and we thought it was special - I learned upon moving to Cambridge 1981 we had ZERO clue....

Now - who wants to hear about how I can ALWAYS get to the front - White Stripes, Elvis Costello, Pixies, Pretenders (big venues) - there is a trick to it:) Small venues, that is is easy peasy...
@Bukowski Jim Leatherman is such a dear friend...do you now him personally or just through Jam - I saw your post and,had to ask - Jim has such a special place in my heart - known him for many years:) Madly in love with him (platonic-ally)...If you know him personally then I bet we know a lot of folk in common:) If you know him through Jam, it just reinforces that you have GREAT taste:)
R know them as a one hit wonder Red Crayola - Nuggets search would be the next step as they are by far the go to for garage and one hit wonders:) I'm curious now too as I know the name but have done no research - will think about it:) Love a puzzle:)

@Bukowski Nothing on Nuggets:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets:_Original_Artyfacts_from_the_First_Psychedelic_Era,_1965%E2%80%931968
I scanned through the discography and didn't see them listed - they must be very obscure -find them - I want to hear them:)
@Bukowski@lesakramer5 I only have minimal knowledge of Red Crayola although I DID see them live around 1980. They were part of a 'post-punk' package touring the UK with ( I think) Pere Ubu, Scritti Politti & maybe Cabaret Voltaire or something. I don't think you would like them Paul as they were VERY much 'scratchy angular guitar' based...more extreme than Gang of Four. Funny enough, the singer (Mayo Thompson) later joined Pere Ubu
@debutch;
@Bukowski
Now that;s what I call a fast and furious music follow up:) Love the Gang of Four reference (saw them - of course I did) in Boston; l love them:) But I'm sticking to my Vanilla Fudge reference - LOL
@Bukowski@lesakramer5 ... But as you rightly said Paul, they were originally a 60s band ( Crayola then spelt with a 'K') from Texas ( I think ) and made an album SO "out there", it was too freaky for most people to listen to...free-form Avante Garde Albert Ayler type stuff mixed with "nuggets" style tunes... It was called "The parables of..." Oh! I forget! Along with the 13th Floor Elevators, one of the very 1st psyche albums.
@debutch@Bukowski Gotta say debutch knows more than me, though I did see the package he listed Pere Ubu, etc. - God we are going deep and old school:)...I actually thought they had a hint of surf sound, but maybe that's 'cuz I live in Cali....LOL
@Bukowski@debutch - Yup--I'm sticking to the surf sound on the you tube I posted - that beat is Cali surf Dick Dale style (in the drum/back beat), then moves to psychedelia: Just me:) are my posts getting to you guys? still a newbie:)
@debutch@lesakramer5 Thank you for the posts and link. 'The Parable Of Arable Land' has been referred to as "a sixties psychedelic classic" by Pitchfork Media and lauded by The Independent.
@lesakramer5@debutch On the subject of 'post-punk angular guitar' (Magazine, Wire, Gang Of Four and Television); I just find it to be overrated (meaning; I have listened to it many times and all I have is; 'I just don't get what all the fuss is about'; (this applies to 'Station To Station' and 'The Wall'))
@Bukowski "On the subject of 'post-punk angular guitar' (Magazine, Wire, Gang Of Four and Television); I just find it to be overrated"... This from a Joy Division fan!
@Bukowski@debutch Props for the Red Krayola knowledge, "Parable" is up their with "Piper" and "Nico" as far as psych debuts from 1967 go, but unlike Floyd and the Velvets they never got reappraised on a massive scale. Definitely also check out "God Bless The Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It", remastered in 2011 by Sonic Boom who of course reinterpreted "Transparent Radiation" under the Spacemen 3 moniker.
@lesakramer5 Oh! Yes, THe MC5!...Well, to be truthful, I was too young to know anything significant about them before I saw them. My elder brother took me to the London Classic Rock 'n' roll concert at Wembley stadium , London in the summer of 1972. All the old rockers from the 50s were there...Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley...EVERYONE ( except, of course, Elvis ) This was an outdoor all day concert and there were many up & coming bands ( continued...)
@lesakramer5 ..and lesser known bands lower down on the bill. The MC5 were ones of those! Hardly 'pure' rock 'n' roll, I know but 'Back in the USA' had some of those moments...Anyway, a large proportion of the fans were "teddy boys" I don't know if you've heard of this British fashion /cult fad but they were true hardened followers of 50s rock 'n' roll with their own fashion & clubs and they had no time for poor rock 'n' roll imitators and as GREAT as the MC5 were.....
@lesakramer5 ....that's exactly how they saw them & when the band appeared covered in flags & silver suits & ranting "Kick out the jams", well, they took an instant dislike to them. A storm of tin cans & cups flew at them onstage but that just encouraged the band. They played harder, faster & more aggressive ..but then the glass bottles came! THings got very ugly with cuts, lacerations & injuries ( mainly in the audience before the band finally withdrew......
@lesakramer5 That was my first exposure to the MC5 & I thought their energy was incredible..."Lookin at you" Sister Anne" "Baby wont ya" "Shakin street" "Rambling Rose" " Motor city is burning" I bought "High Time" the very next week! ...I remember it like it was yesterday.....Funny thing bubblegum glam-rocker Gary Glitter ( who was also virtually unknown) ALSO got bottled offstage! So funny to think of him having something in common with Detroits' own white Panther anarchists!! :-)
