who knew?

I can't resist posting this little bit of local music news. Did you know that legendary E st. band member and worst regular character on the Sopranos (well, besides Janice) Little Steven is a big Th' Losin' Streaks fan? That's why they're playing with the Zombies in SF at his underground garage festival. I heard that OMF has talked to the man a couple of times.

    Worst right behind Janice? Them's fighting words -- worse than Artie and his wife?

    Has Lil Steven ever played Th' Losin' Streaks on his radio show? He does a syndicated weekly garage rock show--I don't remember what station I heard it on...

    Does anyone remember when The Four Eyes got played on Dr. Demento?

    I have to agree that Janice is pretty high up there on the brutal-meter. The sex scene with Ralphy didn't help matters.

    I remember reading an article in the Guardian about him being a big garage rock fan about four or five years ago.

    SVS seems like a very nice guy-- and a huge fan of straight ahead rock'n'roll. He called up to say that he really likes our record and was very down to earth for a guy who has to have 5 platinum records on his wall.

    and yeah, he's been playing the record. 'Your Love, Now' is in rotation, dubbed 'The Coolest Song in the World (this week)' on his sirius station. He put it in his Billboard garage 'picks' chart too.
    It's all a little bit weird.

    And yeah.. the Zombies. I'm still in shock over that. anyway, this whole thing is flattering but very very strange....

    I gotta say that Little Steven calling OMF is the coolest thing that has ever happened. That is so badass. But, did he introduce himself as Little Stevie Van Zant or Miami Steve Van Zant? Will he have a role in Pirates of the Carribean Part 3?

    By the way, official Heritage Party II "Try Burning This One,Asshole" date: September 16th. Be there and get patriotic.

    Little Stevie is one of the best on "The Sopranos". Perhaps you've forgotten this immortal line:

    "Cheesefuck!"

    I rest my case.

    By far the weirdest thing is that little steven organized that 'Sun City' anti-apartheid record/concert in the mid eighties. it was really cool to talk to a guy who's on a first name basis with nelson mandela.

    Not only was he THE guy behind the Sun City record, he was the reason Joey Ramone got on it. He has always talked up The Ramones and Iggy and it appears that he knows more than just Walmart Rock.

    Congrats to Tim and Stan and Mike and Matt. They deserve all the attention they can get.

    I love Artie even though he is a total douche and his wife is kinda sexy in a harridan way.

    So, are the Four Eyes playing The Four Eyes Present: A Salute To American Heroes at the Heritage Party 2: Try Burning This One Asshole"? Because if so I think there should be a commemorative T-shirt with all of the above titles on it.

    I've spoken to a guy who knows a few of the Four Eyes and he says that it could probably totally happen. Cross your fingers.
