TRANQUILITY-- Their first great lp from 1972 is finally on cd! If you love superb layers of pop harmony vocals, I highly recommend you pick this up. This band made two excellent albums. Lets hope the second gets released too. BRAHMAS----TRY BABY Another great Spanish power pop band. I would put this right up there with Zinedines and Carrots! THE DAY TRADERS--- More great US pop. They used to be called The Dent. This is basically the same band under a new name. LUND BROTHERS----Tangents This band has a singer that really sounds alot like Robin Zander at times. This band used to be called INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW, and before that LOSER... Good, good, stuff ED JAMES----Big Time The long awaited 3rd release is here! Available from all good pop venders! THE RINGLES----Take a ride The long awaited 2nd release from this Illionios psych-pop band! Again, available from all good pop venders! jeremy www.jamrecordings.com On Tue, 26 Oct 2004 02:00:18 -0400 audities-owner@smoe.org writes: > The Audities Digest: for the discussion of insanely great pop > Volume 2 : Issue 800 : "text" Format > > Messages in this Issue: > Re: SNL [Mike Nattboy > ] > Re: SNL [Mike Nicholson > ] > Re: Ashlee Simpson Meets Milli Vanilli > ["Jaimie Vernon" > ] > Re: Underground Garage & Cotton Mather > [Donmand@aol.com] > Brian Wilson and Cliff Hillis on UnderGround Radio > ["Adam Waltemire" > ] > Popboomerang Sale ["info" > ] > Re: Rocking My World > [DanAbnrml9@aol.com] > Acoustic Stones: Batdorf & Stanley- All Wood & Stones > ["Keith Cook" > ] > silver > [BCMcLane@aol.com] > Getting Hives > [erhoek@comcast.net] > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 17:56:45 -0700 > From: Mike Nattboy > To: audities@smoe.org > Subject: Re: SNL > Message-ID: > > Yeah those were the days when SNL was actually hip unlike in recent > years when they've tried to look hip by booking all the acts the > marketing folks at big media companies tell SNL what is hip to the > 14-30 year old demographic. > > It's what Lester bangs refer to as "the industry of cool." > > SNL ain't what it used to be! > > > On Monday, October 25, 2004, at 05:41 PM, MCGaudio@aol.com wrote: > > > > >> "Eytan Mirsky" wrote: > >> > >> While I didn't see the debacle with Ashlee Simpson, I think that > the > >> real > >> vitriol should be directed at SNL and uber-sellout Lorne Michaels. > > > > I'm always amazed when I see a repeat of an old SNL and the > musical > > guest is > > Ornette Coleman or someone else equally non-commercial (okay, > someone > > else > > non-commercial, not equally!)
