    44. The Driving Stupid  (who recorded the immortal "Horror Asparagus

    45. The Chocolate Telephone Pole
    46. The Uncalled For
    47. The Craig
    48. It's All Meat


I'll have to go home and dig through my Pebbles, Back From The Grave, 
Mindrocker, Scum of the Earth, etc. etc. collection and look for others.

By the way, has anyone else heard the new (actually recorded over a year ago)
Golden Palominos single? Wins my award for most improbable record of the year.
Bill Laswell -- bass, Anton Fier -- drums (core members of the old Palominos),
Chris Stamey and Henry Kaiser on guitars, Michael Stipe (REM) on vocals. The
song: Moby Grape's "Omaha"! Sounds like heavy duty, slightly minimal REM.
Amazing!

P.S. Was there really a group called the Electric Rectum????

"In-a-Gadda-da-Vida"?
