Good move getting the first Dead Boys record this time around, too. Makes that second LP sound like an aural turd, don't it?" We played "My Baby Does Good Sculptures" last time and so decided to play the head kicked in song this time. As a matter of fact, the only song that we repeated on this shift was "Suspect Device" by the SLF but since that's the theme song it makes sense. I gotta say I still like the second Dead Boys LP, but you are right, the first one rocks. And "Sonic Reducer" is one powerful song. Cheers. Steve
Inflammable Material on WXDU Playlist
Since we've been talking about Iggy and stuffhere's a show I did with a friend a few days ago. Inflammable Material hosted by Two Geeks Named Steve 3/16/99 5-8pm on WXDU-Durham Classic Punk Rock Inflammable Material is a show of classic punk that is aired on WXDU every now and then during break weeks. The hosts the first time were Steve Kelley, Eric Labow and Steve Gardner. Eric didnt make this one, though, because he was playing tennis (how punk!). We didnt have a year cutoff or anything, yet most of the stuff we played could be considered classic or proto-punk. Heres the setlist. The setlist from the last show we did can be found on my website under the special shows and lists section. (www.topsoil.net) I was amazed at the number of phone calls and requests we got. Hopefully well be doing this again sometime soon. Cheers.

Soft Boys/Yodelling Hoover/Wading Through a Ventilator Does anyone know if it is possible to find Soft Boys albums anywhere? I have been searching for a while for anything I can find on CD or LP on the web and in used record stores and special order stores, but no no avail.

http://gemm.com/ is a good starting point. Watch out for any site that claims backorder ability - particularly WMI, who seem to have a catalog of nothing but backorder items. http://www.cellophane.com - has the '76-'81 comp, fyi. Great store, I can vouch for them. WA local outfit. Chris Soft Boys/Yodelling Hoover/Wading Through a Ventilator Does anyone know if it is possible to find Soft Boys albums anywhere?

Soft Boys (was Re: Inflammable Material on WXDU Playlist)
Ryko's contract to distribute the Soft Boys' catolog expired late last year. You might try looking on the www.fegmania.org site to see if they have any leads as to where to get the deleted titles. Hopefully, Hitchcock will sign a new distribution deal for this stuff soon, as it ranks with his finest work. Carl Z.

Re: Soft Boys (was Re: Inflammable Material on WXDU Playlist)
You can also try here: http://www.robynhitchcock.com/giftshop.htm There's some Soft Boys stuff, but most of the listings are for the UK releases, which do not have the bonus tracks that were on the Ryko reissues.

Re: Inflammable Material on WXDU Playlist
As Chad was saying: Soft Boys/Yodelling Hoover/Wading Through a Ventilator Does anyone know if it is possible to find Soft Boys albums anywhere? I have been searching for a while for anything I can find on CD or LP on the web and in used record stores and special order stores, but no no avail. If anybody can find this for you, Jeff Weiss at Miles of Music can (www.milesofmusic.com). I s'pose you could try EveryCD, too, if Jeff has to punt (www.everycd.com). The 2-CD set on Ryko that came out a while back is phee-nominal, even for a fella that owns *all three versions* of "A Can of Bees" such as myself. All the essentials, and boatloads of rarities. And I should add that your show was pretty damn phee-nominal, too, Steve. Although I think I would have played "My Baby Does Good Sculptures" from that Rezillos album... Good move getting the first Dead Boys record this time around, too. Makes that second LP sound like an aural turd, don't it? ___ Mark Wyatt * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * One Riot One Ranger * Columbus, OH http://members.aol.com/oneriot/oneriot.html ** "That ain't no part of bluegrass... that ain't no part of nothin'" (Bill Monroe) **
