*Dress warm!! This is an outdoor event - RAIN or SHINE!
Maybe if you practiced harder and listened to some of those crazy new drummers like ginger baker and the guy who's in that new english band The Whos.
oh yeah, and don't take any more "free lessons" from Dick Dodd, he's just using you to get to girls.
Better luck at next year's open "2nd drummer" audition! we'll be kicking out the same new crazy 2-lead-guitar jams like we heard the Butterfield Blues Band are going to be doing at the Fillmore again when we drive up there in february!
JIM HEAD c/o the DEL RAYS BLUES BAND featuring Jim "blues motherfuckaboy" Head December 1966
out with the old shit, in with the new shit, man. GUITAR SOLOS are where it's at in '67!
oh man. in the back of a Staples Office Supply in stockton on a day-trip (one of four, all to the north or northeast between 20 to 70 miles one-way, if you count no.2 which was all of Oakland plus 4 hrs in berkeley rasputins/amoeba piling up about 150 lps for 75cents ea/average) trolling for new-merch-cheap-shirts (29 walgreens and 12 99 Cents Only stores by the time i'd also hit all of fremont/hayward/castro valley before and afterwards on other weeks)
there was this crazy long/wide "metal" thing that fits 45s for someone's p/s display if it was screwed up to a wall somehow. it kinda looks like it would hold 4 "bins" that're two sectoins each (with a metal divider inbetween) of maybe 80 to 100 each = major p/s 45 damage.
i left it out on my front porch on top of the stray "piece of furniture" that took up a home there (beneath and beside the porch mailbox). it'll be there all winter anytime you want to bump over in route home and take a look at it (and take it no problem).
oh yeah if anyone has a real cheap $$ christmas budget to buy you junk. there's prettty good tonnage of good 50 cent and 1 dollar lps piling up (for about a year maybe) over in the dining room that are the kind of bad-music crap no one but you likes. yeah and those "hotrod sounds" lp(s) on Riverside or whatever.

"Sounds like it was not only recorded live, but recorded live down a tin can to a tape recorder at the other end of a phone, and sounding great for it!" - Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2
from spring-early summer 1980A (before i split in July to the new job up here intheBay area, quitting the band until Dec 81 when the second 12-inch/lp was still long-unfinished)
sound sucks (no drums), vocals are slightly (or totally) subpar -- BUT
IT DOCUMENTS our two-identical-Mesa-boogie-amp heads (into different cabs) with killer 1961-1964 Gat ibson guitars
WHITE NOISE GUITAR, automatic every gig from PJ's first Sept-79 gig onwards
we're talking 1977 Saints or 1973 Stooges here, awesome world class white-noise rhythm guitar grind ( = PJ). we intentionally used that equpment/amp setup so that we wouldn't have a "lame generic Marshall amp sound" like 100 other bands.
"Inside My Brain" is faster (than the recorded version cut in March) because even two or three months later, our tempos across the board were ramping up "early hardcore," and getting faster all on their own
