HAD COME HOME WITH A BIG BOX OF OLD CASSETTES HE
GOT FROM THIS OTHER GUY. THIS IS THE KINDA THING
I GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. THE BOX WAS FULL OF
A COMBINATION OF THINGS: MIXTAPES, ALBUMS DUBBED
ON OLD MAXELLS WITH PRINTED TRACKLISTING, RARE ROKY
ERICKSON RECORDINGS, ORIGINAL TROUT MASK REPLICA AND
RAW POWER TAPES, A COPY OF THE SUPER OUT HARRY
NILSSON RECORD "THE POINT!" THAT IS A LIKE A CONCEPT
ALBUM ABOUT THE ONLY ROUND-HEADED BOY IN A CITY
WHERE, BY LAW, EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE A POINT...
AND SO ON.
THE 39 CLOCKS ARE MY FAVORITE THING THAT I DISCOVERED
ON THIS NIGHT. MY FIRST REACTION TO THEM WAS THAT THEY
BARE STRIKING SIMILARITY TO THE VELVET UNDERGROUND.
I WAS EXCITED BY THIS "PSYCHO BEAT" TAPE. SONGS LIKE
"TWISTED AND SHOUT" CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. AND THEY
SOUNDED SUPER GERMAN, WHICH ALWAYS MAKES ME INTERESTED.
SOMEONE MADE A MYSPACE FOR THEM
http://www.myspace.com/39clocks
AND THIS GUY MADE A WEBSITE DETAILING ENCOUNTERING THE BAND
EARLY ON AND GOES INTO DETAIL ABOUT HOW UNLIKE THE VELVET
UNDERGROUND THEY WERE. IT'S A LOT OF INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
HOW THEIR SHOWS OFTEN ENDED IN EVERYTHING BEING SMASHED...
