Heard on the radio this morning (KXLU, since I'm driving
the San Diego Fryway) that the legendary Germs demos produced
by Jack Nietzsche have been release on an Austrialian label
(the address given was in Melbourne).  A couple of these songs
were on the _Cruising_ soundtrack and live versions appear
on _What We Do is Secret_.  I know these cuts are great cause
Rodney Bingenhiemer (too-tendy LA DJ) has played some of 'em.
Has anybody seen this record?  What songs are on it?  How do
I get a copy??

Fear add:  I doubt that Belushi had anything to do with "I Love
Living in the City" cause they were performing it long before he
discovered punk rock.  I think it was their first (ultra rare) self
produced single (b/w "Must have been something you said (now you're
dead")).  Belushi did work with them on "Neighbors" (c.f. _Wired_),
another bunch of demos that vanished into thin air.

Upcoming: Dag Nasty, Uniform Choice @ Fenders
	  Butthole Surfers @ Variety Arts
	  Soul Asylum @ UCLA (3/30 @ A-Level, Noon for those in
		the neighborhood).
