Really-From: kk4fs!s_fungus@crdgw1.ge.com (Slender Fungus) Any Kate-fans out there into Bongwater? (no, not THAT...the MUSICAL GROUP!!!) Ever seen the movie "Making Mr. Right" ??? The leading actress, Ann Magnuson, is the lead singer! What is BONGWATER like? Mix the weirdness of King Missile with, well, a girl shrieking her head off. They do some really strange covers, like the Monkees song "Just May Be the One" and a version of Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" all done in Chinese, called "Dazed and Chinese"...they even beat up the Timelords song "Doctorin' the Tardis" for a song about a groupie. Heck, are there any King Missile fans out there, also? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /_ | /_ |\ | |\ /_ |/ |_ | | |\ | / | | /_ _/ |_ \_ | \| |/ \_ |\ | |_| | \| \_> |_| _/

"Breaking No New Ground" is great..."Double Bummer" is even better... Unfortunately, all the record stores around here are poorly stocked, and I was thinking of ordering the new bongwater stuff through Tower's 1-800 number thingo. Were my eyes deceiving me, or did I see bongwater on TWO compilation tribute albums? Specifically, "The Bridge" (for Neil Young) and "Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye" (for Roky Erickson). Another GREAT band on Shimmy Disc is King Missile...I got their "Mystical $hit / Fluting on the Hump" CD at Tower for $14.95! That's a great buy for 60+ minutes of hilariously funny music... I suppose the 'band' Dogbowl was formed by Dogbowl himself, formerly of King Missile fame? I need to check that out... Many thanks for the person who posted the bongwater stuff... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % _ _ _ _ __ % % /_ | /_ |\ | | \ /_ |_/ "Jesus was way cool...he turned water into % % _/ |_ \_ | \| |_/ \_ | \ wine...and if he wanted to, he could turn % % _ _ _ wheat into marijuana, sugar into cocaine, % % |_ | | |\ | / | | /_ and vitamin pills into amphetamines..." % % | |_| | \| \_> |_| _/ --- King Missile % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
