The Perfect Opening Band
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m walking in Memphis …
I’m walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale …
Be forewarned – this is one of those letters Pat mentioned a while
back…One of those where someone is a bit innebriated and decides to
fire off a little note to the rest of the group. I apologoize ahead
of time!! This town is so full of good music I just can’t help myself!
First I wanted to bitch bitch bitch that I got here one day too late
to see a surprise appearance by Dylan at a Leftover Salmon show last
Friday (12.50 and only 400 people DAMN THE LUCK!!!) But more
importantly I wanted to tell everyone I came across THE opening band
for the Femmes last night. Actually I first heard this band way, way
back in the early 80’s before I’d ever heard of VF and I was as
shocked as I could be when I got to Memphis late last week and came
across a reunion show listing for (drum roll please) Tav Falco &
Panther Burns!!!! Rockabilly, punkabilly – they still have that
stuff!!!!! The place was a veritable who’s who in Memphis music – and
the show was flat out ROCKIN’!!! Ahhh the nostalgia …
Whatever happened to that guy who was putting together the inertia
tour thing?!?!
And hey did anyone else see that piece with Johnny Rotten on Vh-1?
Punk is not dead! Amen!

-Pat. Says: The Inertia tour: an unfortunate choice, perhaps..Doomed to
live up to its name

Brian’s DMFD Intro
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last year at the April 1st VF show at Salem, MA, before playing DMFD
Brian spoke. He said something to the effect of, ” You know what’s
great about Salem Mass? If you don’t like how someone acts, or talks,
or dressed, or if you simply want something they have, you just tie
them up and burn them! If you think someone has prettier eyes than
you, you just tie them up and burn them! But the one thing all these
people have in common, the one thing that ties them together is that
everyone of thems last words were, ‘You best dance mother fucker!’

Mercy Seat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Europe it’s impossible to get stuff by the Mercy Seat, so I’ve never
heard their music. I’m curious to know what readers think of it – is it
similar to the Femmes or is it something completely different. My guess
is that it must be similar to the Femmes because I think Gordon writes
the music and sings too. I’ve got all the Femmes CDs (except Freak
Magnet- we don’t get promotion CDs unfortunately) so I’m keen to
explore new territory. By the way, the last time the Femmes did a
European tour as far as I know was in 92. It’s time to put that right.

-Pat. Says: They played London in Oct. 1997, and somewhere in
Portugal, too. But no actual tour.

RE: Gordon Solo Album
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m surprised nobody brought this up, but is this album which is
supposed to be released this year truly a solo album, or is it the
long-awaited soundtrack for the movie that never was?
