(TV) Speaking of compilations (OT)...



Dangerhouse Volume 1 is pretty great (LA punk bands
from the late 70's

I was being serious about that screen play comment.  I
find the short liner note reference to a CBGB band
whose first record master is stolen fascinating (in
the ROIR compilation we have been discussing).  A lost
time.  A lost band (turns out it's US Ape). And a lost
record.  

Similarly, I have always been fascinated by the story
of the garage band, The Rising Storm (excerpted from
allmusic.com):

While still at prep school in the mid-'60s, this New
England group recorded one of the rarest and most
respected garage band albums, divided equally between
outside and self-penned material. This effort was
distinguished from many other recordings of the sort
not by the respectable covers (of material by Them,
Wilson Pickett, Love, and fellow Boston garage bands
the Remains and the Rockin' Ramrods), but by their
beautiful, haunting original folk-rock ballads.
Disbanding upon graduation, they were rediscovered by
hardcore '60s collectors over 15 years later, and
actually reunited for a live recording at their alma
mater in the early '80s.  Richie Unterberger

"If every museum in the New World were emptied, if every
famous building in the Old World were destroyed and only
Venice saved, there would be enough there to fill a full lifetime
with delight.  Venice, with all its complexity and variety, 
is in itself the greatest surviving work of art." --Evelyn Waugh
