Re: Our Favorite Band (the band)
Our Favorite Band first put out a 7" vinyl EP on Praxis Records. Yes, the very same label that put out the first Jason The Nashville Scorchers EP. It´s sort of lo-fi kind of trash country. The LP however, is much better produced and is full of great "alternative" country. Check it out! Jerker Sound Asleep Records Sweden PS. Does anyone know what ever happened to the band after the LP?

It was still sealed (and a cutout), but I need more convincing that it's worth the $15 the dude was askin' for! (i'm especially cautious, due to the fact that he had a sealed Dead Milkmen - "Big Lizard" LP for $25 and a used (which cover wear) "Metal Machine Music" album for $40!) I remember being terribly underwhelmed by it when released, expecting a more Scorchers sounding record. Of course, that was years ago and now I'm more amenable to the country sound. I bet that didn't help one bit.

It was on Bigtime. paul i wouldn't exactly call myself a music scholar, but i actually had or have this in my collection of vinyl, and i actually went and searched for it when you posted this the first time but i had no luck, so i dunno if it's been lost or just hiding from me. i remember there being some scorchers connection - warner or jason i'm thinking??? and maybe i'm completely spacing out but wasn't there some alex chilton connection, too? it's been so many years ago i honestly can't remember what it sounded like. that was back in the days i listened to the replacements, dream syndicate, love tractor, etc almost exclusively... so this really isn't much help, sorry. ro

I wanna say it was Warner...the front of the album listed a whole slew of guests. I recall Doug Easley's name on the list as well...and wouldn't be surprised if Mitch Easter were on there...but i'm not too sure. and you're trying to tell me that you no longer listen to the 'Mats, Dream Syndicate, etc. almost exclusively anymore??? I'm very disappointed in you! g Paul np: Buffalo Tom - Smitten

np: boot of the stones from nov '69 in calif. courtesy of my little bro. i like this better than "get your ya ya's out" ro Hey Ro, I don't know if you have the capacity to dub tapes, but if that show is better than YaYa's, I'd love to hear it. That's one of my favorite Stones records, and I've discovered it to be somewhat of an undiscovered gem for my buds who've only heard "Midnight Rambler" (cuz it's on Hot Rocks). BTW: I would've done this offlist, but unless someone actually lays out their address, is it possible to do a private post? Anyway, let me know if you can. Lance [EMAIL PROTECTED]
