The I-94 Bar: Sydney Rock Action via The Bowery and Motor City. GO!
Some time ago Steve and myself put up a virtual shrine for long lost pubrockers The Count Bishops. A true labor of love that obviously doesn't generate too much traffic but every now and then throws up a response from some far flung corner of the globe, showing that we're not alone in our flag waving for these guys. I wouldn't dare claim our little site to be the final word on the subject, but I figured it was pretty comprehensive. Not so; this week I was contacted by Herve Colombet from France, who put up his own Count Bishops site that really holds an insane amount of information about the band providing hours of fun for people like me in search of a life. Please go 'n take a peek and say "Hi!" to Herve when you get there. GO!.

"Once music was a simple thing. People played a jolly tune into a recording device, people played it and danced about a bit. Now we need professional psychiatric care for an audience assaulted by the likes of 'Weekend' on a regular basis. People have accused my reviews of being generated by a computer. Well, of course they are. You think anyone in their right mind would listen to The Dictators all day? I'm all digital baby. "
This month's releases from Ace. GO!.
