Oh, I forgot, here's my thesis: Johnny is selling himself as caricature and Iggy is selling himself as the real deal. Just imagine Iggy prancing around in the butter commercial's ironic vignettes or imagine Johnny trying to pull off the Ig's I'm-coo…

Funny that the music in the Country Life bit is so cheesy. They obviously said, "let's get Johnny Rotten" and they obviously said "there will be music that kinda, sorta rocks" but when it came down to it, the music was more goofy than it could have…

Hey Phil, thanks for the information on the book of Brian's writings. I ordered it and spent some time with it - some bittersweet time. Thanks for helping to put it together.

Hey, Phil,

I was with an improv group at IU, and sang in an a capella group called "Something Blue" started by Mark Kellam. Entirely possible that we did stealth gigs at the mall -but memory fails me on that. I hung with Eddie Moore, Jyl Sammons, and Brian Baldus, and sat in listening on many a session with 'Betterment' and Sign Language. I'm in the Washington DC area doing web development and Jyl is Richmond (http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/s/shiners-bonnie.shtml) and unfortunately suffering from Lupus. I now am married, and have a 5 year old, and some visitors for the innaguration, but will post pics to my profile later this week.. I'm on Facebook, tho, with photos. This interwebs thing is such the time machine!

Hi Phil.
Why the hell don't I remember you? Did you send thought criminals in to wipe my mind, or something.

Fuck...Refresh my memory.....

Your stellar guitar work is featured on two recordings from the atumn of 1984 that I just posted on my page... "Buck Suckers" and "Drum Mask"

Yukki is playing drums and I'm playing bass. This is the stuff John McCool recorded for us in his basement.

For what it's worth, Phil, I did get that message you sent via the message function. I just don't check my home e-mail often enough.
Did you see that you can download their new album here:

Phil- Learning to use these various buttons for responding. Slow learner. I'd meant to send you an email two years ago after finding your website in a fruitless search for Mr. Gipson's whereabouts. But I am slackness.

Anyhow, always good to hear the Guano Bros. again!

Hey Phil - great collection of pix you've posted! And you've floated thru a wonderful lineup of bands over the years. You again graced us with your tasty musical work with JT&TMW the other night live on 'FHB. Sweet.

Very cool getting to see you guys—now your 'avatar' makes even more sense to me...! Thanks again for everything—including the recording: I already listened to all but the last track and am very glad I did.

interesting. Now if you could actually hit a button and somewhere a large jukebox would find the album, put it on the turntable and stream it, that would be something!

Oh, and the records from my parent's collection that really launched me? Their collection of "original Broadway cast" musicals made me think about telling stories through music; Allan Sherman's "My Son the Nut" taught me that music can be both serio…

I’ve probably mentioned this before here at MFT, but the first time I really, REALLY wanted a particular recording and found out it was only available on CD...late July of ‘95...that was one of the saddest days of my life. Crushing. I’m not sure jus…

I need to write a blog totally marginalizing vinyl. I'll get to work on that ;) Seriously, good piece. I need to find my way back to vinyl - I need to convince my wife to let me set up the turntable in the living room again.

My family still had 78's and a record player that would play 'em when I grew up in the '50's. My father had big band, Beethoven, country, all kind of things. My mother worked at the RCA plant that made records in Indianapolis, when she left to have…
