Now we're talking! My old roomie had the box set of Bongwater. I was going to copy it all off of him, but then I went to Cheapo in Fridley & Uptown, and I found everything from the boxed set used! And I've found some Bongwater vinyl, too. Natch.Is there anything more ironic than Fred Schneider singing, "The power of pussyyyy"? I love these guys. Right up there with Cocteau Twins, Julee Cruise, and Lush, in the Monty Carlos's Favorite Headtrip Laidback Gals Who Sing Like Angels, music genre.

WOW!! Ann was in the Panic Room, eh Pete? Was she a real estate broker along with Ian "Richard Tremain from Twin Peaks" Buchanan? That's awesome, now I need to see that movie.

Is this a song that CamperVanBeethoven covered? "I hunger for your porpoise mouth"? IP: Logged |

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoiceWanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

"Porpoise Mouth" was, I believe, a Chocalate Watchband song or something like that. I haven't listened to "Camper Vantiquities" in years. Great covers on there. Ringo's "Photograph", the Kinks "I'm Not Like Everybody Else". "The Ax-Murder Song" is just great. [This message has been edited by monty carlos (edited 11-05-2002).] IP: Logged |

I always dug the Bongwater takes on Roky Erickson... Splash and (expecially) You Don't Love Me Yet.Did Ann M. ever tour with Bongwater? When they played the Entry (opening for Redd Kross?? was that who they played with??) she wasn't with 'em but even without her their set was surprisingly good. She WAS there, however, for one of the more surreal televised music events that I've ever seen... Bongwater on Night Music. Their bit started out with a noisy free-for-all that was the audio backdrop for Screaming Jay Hawkins(!) as he adlibbed some crazy mumble-jumble that included the phrase 'You dont love me yet'. And as soon as he stepped back the band abruptly started into a majestic version of Roky's 'You Don't Love Me Yet'. Furthermore, the regular Kramer/Rick Bongwater lineup was, this night, augmented by Rob Wasserman on upright bass, Hiram Bullock, Rob Weir (of the Grateful Dead) and three female backup singers who went by the name Pussywillows. Dave Rick was decked out in a mod dress and Ann Magnuson looked (and sang) like she was heaven sent. insane.
