Alan Lewis<p>THE REMAINS ON PBS<br />Mastodon Post</p><p><a href="https://06880danwoog.com/2025/02/21/roundup-board-of-finance-budgets-earth-animal-project-staples-stem-champs/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">06880danwoog.com/2025/02/21/ro</span><span class="invisible">undup-board-of-finance-budgets-earth-animal-project-staples-stem-champs/</span></a></p><p>We had nothing quite like The Remains until this band came along. Widely known for loudness - loudest band I ever heard was a common expression - The Remains ought to be at least as well known for tightness. One of the bootlegs had a track that, no doubt, was not intended for the public to hear. Vern's bass started out too loud, Barry's vocal was a little tentative. It sounded to me like a song they had just reworked and they recorded it promptly to get the arrangement down for reference in future sessions. Then they came to the refrain and the four just hammered it in really close formation. They transformed instantly from four guys working out a song to THE REMAINS ready to take on the world. It was a terrific thing to hear. Some of the available film footage shows a young Vern Miller characteristically hopping about on stage and Barry answering with hops of his own. "Remains Nights" at the early-1960s incarnation of The Rat were where Boston's highly productive rock scene got its start. When Chip Damiani left the band in the lead-up to the Beatles tour, The Remains added a remarkable drummer, ND Smart II. ND was subsequently in a John Hall group, Kangaroo; and then he was in one of my all-time favorite bands, The Great Speckled Bird with Ian and Sylvia. Chip is the drummer The Remains wanted but the band, nonetheless, aced the percussion position with ND, easily one of the very best drummers I ever heard live. Bill Briggs, as The Remains tech guy, was a big part of the band's success. The best equipment and knowing stage set-up were fundamental to what made these four musicians The Remains. This was a highly professional, focused band with what Nancy Neon calls "garage spirit." "Ticket To Ride" by Barry Tashian is one of New England rock history's essential books. A music store in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, displayed a collage made up of various newspaper headlines and notices, each in its own way speaking of The Remains blowing The Beatles off stage. It was great! RiP Chip Damiani.</p><p>[This is an expanded version of a comment I posted at the Music Museum of New England's Facebook page.

Alan Lewis<p>HYPNOSONICS: A MARK SANDMAN BAND<br />Mastodon Post</p><p>There is something pure and iconically rock n' roll at the heart of all of Mark Sandman's projects and bands, which manifested to an apex with his impossibly grooving band Hypnosonics. He knew: girls always, ALWAYS, want to DANCE - first and FOREMOST. Standing in front of a live band - they want to melt away their minds, forget about their emotions, let go of the world, and land - IN THE BODY, ON EARTH, eyes CLOSED - where the blood starts to pulse, and the hips start to shake, and the feet start to twitch and one is just - gone baby gone... to the beat of course, but also to every surprise thread of instrumentation - which is where the hands rejoice in their flourishes and the soul flies free alongside of every note and improvisation...

This morning's question had to do with hair. My suggestion was "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl" by The Barbarians. "With your long blonde hair You look like a girl." It pleases me to say Corny went with it. This track never made the Billboard Top 40 but its memory outlived many records that did. The Barbarians laid some claim to being the first punk band. It definitely came with a garage punk quality. WFUV has a very large audience stretching through a big part of the United States and probably abroad. It is easy to access through its excellent mobile app.</p><p>Music Museum of New England: The Barbarians article</p><p><a href="https://www.mmone.org/the-barbarians/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">mmone.org/the-barbarians/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>:</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/1960sbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960sbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1960smusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960smusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1960srock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960srock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/areyouaboyorareyouagirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>areyouaboyorareyouagirl</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/barbariansband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>barbariansband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonmusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonrock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cornyoconnell" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cornyoconnell</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/garagepunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>garagepunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mmone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mmone</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mobileapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mobileapp</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mobileapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mobileapps</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicmuseumofnewengland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>musicmuseumofnewengland</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>musicnews</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nemsbk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nemsbk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newenglandbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newenglandmusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newenglandrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newenglandrock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/newyorkcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>newyorkcity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/punkband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>punkband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/punkbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>punkbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/punkrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>punkrock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/questionoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>questionoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>radio</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/radioapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>radioapp</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/radioapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>radioapps</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thebarbarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thebarbarians</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/wfuv" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wfuv</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/wfuvradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wfuvradio</span></a> </p><p>:::</p>

The Ultimate Spinach, a prime example of The Boston Sound, was a better group than I remembered. If any band members ever stop by, I will apologize.</p><p>The Boston Sound, which came to be called Bosstown, was a major label promotion (MGM Records). It fizzled and Bosstown became a joke; but this was not entirely deserved. Some very good music came out of the Boston Sound and the better tracks recorded then hold up very well to this day.</p><p>At the time, I was of the view, which would seem to put me in the minority now, that the Jeff "Skunk" Baxter lineup of the Ultimate Spinach was the best.</p><p>Hooray for the all-around great John Cooke, Earth Opera, David Grisman, The Ramrods (renamed "Puff"), Peter Rowan, Teddy and the Pandas, the Ultimate Spinach, John Lincoln Wright, and a whole host of others. New England hippies had a wicked good time.</p><p>One of the Bosstown-era singers, who came out of Boston, went on, in the 1970s, to become the biggest dance music star in the world: - Donna Summer. I am a big fan. Donna Summer's late '60s Boston band, The Crow, played innovative psych/pop arrangements at the Psychedelic Supermarket.</p><p>:</p><p>Music Museum of New England (MMone) Ultimate Spinach article</p><p><a href="https://www.mmone.org/ultimate-spinach-2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">mmone.org/ultimate-spinach-2/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>:</p><p>Music Museum of New England (MMone) article about The Boston Sound (Bosstown)</p><p><a href="https://www.mmone.org/the-boston-sound/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">mmone.org/the-boston-sound/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>:</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/1960sbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960sbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1960smusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960smusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1960srock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1960srock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1970sdancemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1970sdancemusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1970smusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1970smusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1970svocalmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1970svocalmusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonbands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonbands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonmusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonrock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bostonsound" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bostonsound</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bosstown" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bosstown</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dancemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dancemusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/davidgrisman" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>davidgrisman</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/donnasummer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>donnasummer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/earthopera" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>earthopera</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hippies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hippies</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hungupminds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hungupminds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jeffbaxter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jeffbaxter</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jeffskunkbaxter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jeffskunkbaxter</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/johncooke" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>johncooke</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/johnlincolnwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>johnlincolnwright</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mgmrecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mgmrecords</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mmone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mmone</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicmuseumofnewengland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>musicmuseumofnewengland</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musicnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>musicnews</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/peterrowan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>peterrowan</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/plasticraincoats" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>plasticraincoats</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/plasticraincoatshungupminds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>plasticraincoatshungupminds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychedelicrock" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>psychedelicrock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychedelicsupermarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>psychedelicsupermarket</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/puffband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>puffband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/pufftheband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pufftheband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ramrodsband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ramrodsband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rockinramrods" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rockinramrods</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/teddyandthepandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teddyandthepandas</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thebostonsound" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thebostonsound</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thecrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thecrow</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thecrowband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thecrowband</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/theramrodsband" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>theramrodsband</span></a> </p><p>:::</p>

Someone has loaded the first several years of Boston Rock, as a PDF, at Archive.org. Depending on your Internet speed, this isn't necessarily the easiest thing in the world to download; and it can be a little hard to use; but, gee, is it ever worth it! If you are researching or just reading about New England music, this publication is essential.</p><p>I downloaded this PDF in 2022 or earlier and haven't checked back since.
