Buckcherry and the J.F.K. Assassination Conspiracy

I'm no elitist, I just give a fuck (or eight) about music.

And while it's easy to bitch for a straight month about the infiltration of assembled, overproduced mediocrity taking the place of music that deserves the attention and passion of human beings to listen, record and be heard, I will make this short.



I just got my Buckcherry popped, because I had no fucking clue these people were crawling around the earth until today. They are the reason for my own degrees of musical… Continue

Song Seven: ??? – This song isn’t mentioned in the liner notes, but I got it at the WFMU record fair at the Norton table, and they had written on it that it was a Mad Mike Favorite. Great little ballad…

More Mad Mike Madness Part One!

Well, here we are. This is part one of a 6 week series of songs mentioned in the liner notes of MAD MIKE MONSTERS from Norton Records.



I’d like to thank Howie Pyro of INTOXICA radio for some of the samples.



Also, please check out FOOL’S PARADISE on WFMU. Rex did a show on Mad Mike when the LP’s came out, and I took some Mad Mike bits from that show. It’s archived at the FOOL’S PARADISE website.

Mad Mike Fun Facts 5!

"bigger than the beatles and the rolling stones!"



Back in the day, Pittsburgh record chain N.R.M., put out a series of LP's called MAD MIKE MOLDIES (check out the covers over at the Mad Mike Myspace page). These LP's are highly sought after collector items. They feature tracks hand picked by Mike himself. One of them featured GOO GOO MUCK by RONNIE COOK AND THE GAYLADS.



This is where Lux and Ivy first heard this song (and a few others) and the rest, as they say, is… Continue

Mad Mike Fun Facts 4!

"crazy 'bout them rekkids"



Mad Mike was famous for doing whatever it took to find a cool record. He drove all over the country, and even traveled the world (when he was in the service) to find cool tunes to play on his show and at the various dances in Pittsburgh.





There are some great tales in the liner notes to the Norton releases. I'm not going to spill all of them (you need to go buy em!), but one of them was a neat story about a Moonglows record he found at a… Continue

Mad Mike Fun Facts #3!

record cutting...



From very early on, "cuts" or acetates played a big role in the Mad Mike mythos. Mike used to confound collectors and fans alike with seemingly impossibly rare records.



Of course some of them were rare, they were doctored (mad scientist'd?) by Mike himself!



Mike had a record lathe and he made his own cuts/acetates. Acetates were usually metal discs with a vinyl coating made with these giant record cutters. So Mike would make these cuts into 45… Continue

the stains and NO WAVE NY

Well at 5 am this morning I awoke to the sound of an alarm - and when it was still going at 5:30 I knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep - so as usual when I wake early I get up and watch something.



This morning I finally I got to watch 'Ladies and Gentlemen...the Fabulous Stains.'



I've been on the hunt for it for a long long while and finally I tracked down a copy. Stuff like this is really hard to locate in the UK and I resigned myself a long time ago to having to… Continue

Mad Mike Fun Facts 2!

"Records worth dying/killing for!"



Mad Mike had the kids in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas in such a frenzy that they had to find out the names of certain songs he played, or die trying!



The thing that frustrated so many was that he never mentioned the names of the songs he played, unless they had been "discovered" first. Otherwise, the only way you could hear a particular song, was to listen to his radio show, or go to his record hops. This ensured listeners on the… Continue
