Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!

I'm in Portland OR, married to Tara (who you may remember) and recently picked my bass back up after 20 years.
Hope you're well.
I'd LOVE to hear stories from you about any memories you have doing those recordings. The machine was in Dano's basement when I visited there in February 1984. Bought the machine from him and he threw the tape in with the deal.... though I had to throw in my Memory Man analog chorus / delay.
Any details you can send me about equipment used in the sessions, who was there playing etc.... I think parts of this tape simply MUST be included in the MFT permanent archives. Got any photos from that era?
It appears there were two different sessions, btw. Audio on the first credits the engineer of the first session as "Dean Phillip Atkins." (very nice of somebody to include that reference).
Still trying to figure out exactly when these songs were recorded. Must be no later than February 1984. Wondering if some of it could be from late 1983.
Also, any idea about the proper song title for the instrumental that I've labeled as "Tough Enough To Be Your Dog" ?
Nice to see you in here!
