Are there any outtakes or B-sides from Ridgeway Era WOV?
I've been listening to Call Of The West and Index Masters since I started high school in '95 and I found an vinyl copy of Dark Continent last winter but it's still not enough. So if there's any songs with Stan on vocals that were only available on import albums or singles or bootlegs could someone please pass along the information.

I've been a big Wall of Voodoo fan for years. I remember wearing out my cassette copy of Dark Continent not long after found it in a bargain bin at a record store. My introduction to them was the video for Mexican Radio and This Way Out from Urgh! A Music War.. Joe Nanini's inventive percussion, Stan's unique lyrics, and the Morelands guitar style blew me away. Not many people I've met really know anything about WoV, except for Mexican Radio which is a shame really because WoV are one of the best bands of the early/mid 80's.

The album CALL OF THE WEST is in my top three CD's. I've listened to it since I had the cassette 14 years ago (and I wish there was a CD pressing with added "There's Nothing On This Side" and "Exercise".) Dark Continent is another favorite, as well as THE UGLY AMERICANS live album - simply brilliant. HAPPY PLANET and the acommpanying very odd "Do It Again" video promo were a disspointment. I've enjoyed the songs "Tomorrow" "Call Of The West" and the amazing "Lost Weekend" since I was a teenager. I have hopes that bands can bring back the songwriting and bountiful lyrcis as we had from the Moreland's, Prieboy, and Ridgeway.

Hi, there is a petition available at http://www.flora.org/coat/appeal that calls for a less violent response to the terrorism. Yeah sure it would be great to bomb wherever until they retaliate with nerve gas or bombs at some US mall or school somewhere, then we really bomb them and they really bomb us back and what's left after that? A bunch of ashes and 4 billion people with radiation poisoning.

The terrorism that targeted the US last week was beyond horror. But the president may only be guaranteeing that we get more of that with his gun ho "smoke em out" response, unless he smokes em out to have them prosecuted. It's not ok to toss bombs at a bunch of civilians just because they did it to us. The Taliban has just committed their only act of humanity in that they let their severely oppressed women (and children) out of Afghanistan rather than risk their exposure to military threat. We need to respond but it is possible to do it appropriately and not just piss all countries off by bombing the heck out of the middle east.

Song from "The The" aka Matt Johnson 1989 :
Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)
Are you ready for Jesus?
Uh huh
Buddha?
Yeah
Muhammad?
Ok
Well, I like this
Let's Go
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
Leaving vapour trails against a blood red sky
Moving in from the East towards the West
With Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
It's war, she cried
It's war, she cried
This is war
Drop your possessions all you simple folk
You'll fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You'll thank the good Lord for raising the Union Jack
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
Watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
"Get the gun, get the gun, get the gun"
"Stay away from the gun, stay away from the gun"
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the CIA
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God doesn't belong to the yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here

Some XTC song lyrics to ponder (originally about the Northern Ireland dilemma, but it still applies in current context):
Terrorism - by Andy Partridge
Terrorism
You're writing your diary in innocents' blood
You're vain and you're ugly, you're no Robin Hood
You don't steal from the rich to help the poor
You just take life from both and what is more
You break your bread and drink
But post-confession you'll still stink of
Terrorism
Terrorism
But you're Sikh, Jew, Muslim, and Christian, you say?
Now which religion will you wear today?
And in whose Bible do you find your cause
That says bomb children in department stores?
I hope your god is pleased
To see all creation on their knees for
Terrorism
Terrorism
Angel of death with black woolen mask
Freedom they bring you is a long wooden cask
They never doubt that right is on their side
When that right is rifle-shaped where can you hide?
Don't want daughter sweet
To be target practice in the High Street
Terrorism
God bless all who lost their lives in this horrible tragedy, and their loved ones left behind to cope somehow...

I'm as angry as anyone is over this but maybe we should be more stealth and secret about our KILLING of unwanted, demented fanatics, which is what they are.
America AND the free world is a place that was founded and continues with the idea of tolerance to all and religious freedom. What we are dealing with now is a strain of humanity that does not want to belong to that idea or concept.And they want us gone because we are "the other"...sci -fi? you bet!

There are a couple sites or more

Admitedly comparing the two, Ridgway

But that is besides the point (although

Toby here -
I forwarded the Eye Protection question to Andy and he replied and asked me to post it here so here it goes:
> Hello Andy,
> I gotz a question... it was asked on the WOV.com board... who sang lead on
> Take Her Where the Boys are besides you? Or was it only you? It doesn't
> all sound like you. And also, was your brother Joe in Eye Protection?
Hello Toby,
Joe was not in Eye Protection.Joe created a number of posters for us, along
with Eye Pro drummer David Dean. Some of Joe's work can be seen in a book
called "Street Art" and another in Rock Art, or Art Rock, or Rock n' Art, or
Rockin Art or some variation of that oxymoron.
Joe also managed us in between our sociopathic first mananger, and the
fuckin'idiot who produced Take Her Where the Boys Are.
That's a very good question about the dual voices on Take Her. Whoever asked
has good ears.
The truth isn't as good.
In fact, it's moronic.
To make a long story short: The idiot producer insisted I "fix" my vocals
at the same time I had a lung and throat infection.
So,there are indeed two voices. One healthy....and one sick.
I don't want to infringe on WoV.coms hospitality or patience. I sent the
long version of the Take Her Where The Boys Are story to Jazzcrowd, where I
think it might be of more interest.
Talk to you soon.
Please pass on my thanks for all the love and support WoV.com continues to
give Marc. It really means a lot to him, and does him a world of good.
Yours,
AP

Hey guys, was just surfin the net and found my ol mates from way back. Well this is Mary from Sydney, Australia. I went to see u play at every gig in Sydney when you were hear in 1987 or 88, not sure now. We went clubbing and stuff. Well alot has happened and we are not that young anymore, well young at heart anyway. It's good to see u guys are still around. I still listen to some of your ol stuff now and then and think back how much fun we had. And this goes to Marc Moreland, Remember me? You had a "Crush" on me and wanted to take me back to the states with you but I couldn't go, I was too young. I was the one with long long black hair, the Yugoslavian one. I know, you can't remember but that's cool. Just want to say, cheerio from Sydney and maybe I will get a reply from. Get well too, I read somewhere that u were ill. Please recover fast!!!

Hey, I have a few comments for VH1 and all those dirtbags in their suits who think that Wall Of Voodoo was nothing but a worthless, no talent 80's band. First off, VH1 had the Top 80 Of The 80's on today. I figured hell, maybe this show will be good, and who knows? Maybe Wall Of Voodoo will show up on the countdown. How could I have been so stupid? I should have known the idiots at VH1 wouldn't have known good music from the sound of a vaccume cleaner!! I was so ticked that Wall Of Voodoo's masterpiece, "Mexican Radio" did not make the countdown. But hey, I wasn't really shocked, knowing that all that boy-band and wannabe pop rockers filled their airwaves. And get this, they actually chose Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" to be on the countdown! (Laughs histerically.)
How could they deny that Wall Of Voodoo was the GREATEST band of the 80's? And if anyone disagrees with that statement, let me tell you why I think they are the greatest band of the 80s, and I think some posters on here will agree...
1. Their sound is always fresh, exciting, interesting, and fun to listen to. Especially back in the days with old Stan. His tongue-in-cheek and demented writing style still intrigues me today!
2. The band members themselves were the kind of guys you could go have a few drinks with, laugh with, and never get tired of. Stan Ridgway with his ability to play guitar, keyboards, and harmonica, do lead vocals, and still come up with great tunes made him one of the most gifted and talented people I have ever known. Chas T. Gray with his incredible keyboard and synthesizer ability, bass guitar ability, and backing vocals made him truly stand out. He was always the most mysterious one in the group, which makes me wish we could have known more about him. Marc Moreland with his tastfully gritty guitar is something you could only get from Wall Of Voodoo. Good ol' Joe Nanini, may he rest in piece. His unique style of transforming ordinary pots and pans into effective percussion instruments truly made him shine. Get this, The Police began copying Joe by using pots and pans after watching Wall Of Voodoo at a concert. And Bruce, was there for only a short time, but his grumpy bass lines will always live on forever in our hearts! And that my friends, is why Wall Of Voodoo is the greatest band ever!
Thanks for reading!
A True Wall Of Voodoo Fan!

Cute Toby. I am serious though. I have the Montezuma Was A Man Of Faith CD, and ...Upon My Wicked Son on CD and LP. Both which have the lyrics in the booklet. Thanks to my brother-in-law a couple/few years back I foolishly lent them out to him. He loved the Wicked Son
album.. and I being the generous guy I am, and wanting to spread the word of Andy to as many as possible let him borrow BOTH CDs. Well he was only supposed to be gone for a month (he lives in FL) and he was up for a visit with his Wife during Thanksgiving. Christmas he promised to be back. 1 month without Andy I thought would be okay. Little did I know that 1 month would turn into 1 year and 1 month. Between that time he LOST the Montezuma EP but managed to keep the case. Wicked Sin has the scatch from hell. It nearly brought tears to my eyes. One can actually quite easily see thru the scratch. The CD coating is scratched right through. He made up for it buy getting mea copy of Sins Of Our Fathers. He warned that I probally would not like it because it didn't have the same sound. And he was right, at first. Being quite upset and not liking change too much I ignored it (did I mentioned it was dubbed on tape? yuck). Eventually I allowed myself to listen through the whole CD and realised what a truly great album it was. When This Dream Is Over grew on me first then When The Heart Awakes. Build A Better Garden and Boobjob Followed shottly after and with them I manged to sit through then all of Psycho Ex where as I usually hit fast forward. I couldn't believe I would skip this one. It was hilarious. Anyways after this point the whole album was soon my favourite work of Andy's be it solo or with Wall Of Voodoo.
Enough of the bitter-sweet trauma I have endured though. The matter at hand is the lyrics. Suffer me no more please. Look, I am on my knees begging here. Let's see, yup that look's good... see my puppy dog eyes? I am looking as pitiful as possible. 8`(
Ooh, is that a tear? Why yes, it is. Boy do I like sad. Oh the humanity!
:^) [if anyone can fulfill my request I would be most appreciative]
Speaking of Andy, I finally heard Take Her To Where The Boys Are. That is quite a catchy tune. Who sings lead in that though? From what I understand, Eye Protection is Both Andy and his brother Joe.
I listen to that quite regularly now. It's a MP3 though so I listen to it on the computer only as I havn't a burner. What I collection though got a few MP3's, Cassettes, CDs and LPs. The CDs being the only thing I can listen to while I drive my truck as the Cassette play is screwed, but I managed to get a CD/cassette adapter to work so I can here my CDs. My Wall Of Voodoo/Prieboy cassettes I listen to in the wife's car. And the LP's on my stereo. The few Mp3's I have I listen to while I surf.
One day, I hope to have everything On CDs.

Hello all,
Someone posted asking what the Voodoo-dudes have been doing to make a living since the band broke up. Well, here's what I know.
Andy Prieboy: Andy has been very busy over the years. He's put out a couple excellent solo CDs and is now working on getting his musical play "White Trash Wins Lotto" back to a New York stage...or should I be so bold as to say get it on Broadway? If you want to learn more about the details of "White Trash Wins Lotto", visit the excellent http://whitetrashwinslotto.homestead.com/start.html web site. There is also a Yahoo mailing list devoted to Andy. You can join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JazzCrowd.
Ned Leukhardt: Last I'd heard, Ned's in a really cool Norwegian rock-a-billy band called Toini and the Tomcats. I have one of their CDs called "Going Wild". You can get it at Hepcat Records, http://www.hepcat.com/.
Chas Gray: Chas now works building sets for movies. He's worked on such films as The Fabulous Baker Boys, Batman and that Grinch movie with Jim Carrey.
Marc Moreland: Since WoV broke up Marc's kept making music. If you don't have his Department of Crooks CD he made in collaboration with his wife Frederique and Sheldon Ferguson you're missing something spectacular. The CD is called "Plan 9 from Las Vegas". You can find out more about it on my web site at http://www.geocities.com/vieuxdo/crooks.htm.
Bruce Moreland: Bruce has been the most elusive Voodoo-dude to pin down, at least for me. I know he's been in a few bands since the demise of WoV, but I don't recall the names of any of them and I don't know if any of the bands have released CDs. His mother tells me he's in good health and had recently been doing some construction work in the San Francisco Bay area.
Did I get everybody? I think so. Hope this satisfies at least a little of the curiosity. Hasta la vista!
Rock on,
Ms. Vieuxdo

Ned,
I hate to tell you this, but I got one of those emails supposedly from you with a virus attached. It looks like your computer may be infected with the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm worm. You (and everyone else) can get more information on it at http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html. There is also a cure for it there that you can download.
For anyone else who's gotten this thing, DO NOT open the attachment that came with it. Just delete the entire thing. And don't blame Ned for the problem. If it is indeed coming from his computer, he had no clue what was happening because the worm sends itself without the "host" knowing it.
Rock on,

Well, I guess I have to 'fess up, raise my hand and say "Um, I'm Ms. Vieuxdo." I'm not sure what it is you want to know about me, but thanks for saying I seem super great. I'm really just a normal (well, maybe not all THAT normal) person who's been a Wall of Voodoo fan since very close to the beginning of the band. I lived in Los Angeles back then and just kinda got sucked into a friendship with the guys after being introduced to them in the early 80's. And now here I am, nearly 20 years later, still enjoying the music and trying to age at lest semi-gracefully. I don't know if that answers the "Who is..." question, but it's the best I can do. And now, having said all that, on this Labor Day holiday weekend, the fish (and I) are on vacation...
Rock on,
Ms. Vieuxdo

Hello all,
Just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know that Edward of Nervous Gender still has a few of those CDs left of the guys in Wall of Voodoo backing Nervous Gender. I got one myself and I'd forgotten how cool the music was! The CD's got 8 tracks of the Nervous
Gender "Live at the Roxy" show and 1 track from the Variety Arts Center show all of which include Marc, Bruce, Ned and Chas, with Joe appearing on the Variety Arts Center cut. It costs a mere $25, which includes postage, and you can get it from Edward by emailing him at Nervousgender@yahoo.com. Speaking strictly for myself, I'm glad I've got one because it brings back good memories. Get one while they last!
Rock on,
Ms. Vieuxdo

Hello all,
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted an update on Marc, but there hasn't been all the much to report. At this point it's just a lot of tests and a lot of waiting. But I got an update from Frederique, Marc's wife, while I was out of town. I'm finally home and caught up enough on everything else to compose a post. Most of what follows comes as an edited copy & paste from what Freddy told me, edited for conciseness so this post doesn't run on forever. Here goes!
Marc has been transferred to another hospital, the one where his surgeon is and where the surgery will take place, so he can complete the last few necessary tests for the transplant list. He's tired and feels weak most of the time, but doing ok considering, and he's happy to be in this hospital (if he has to be in one at all) cause it's really good and has the reputation of being the best for liver transplants.
Freddy continues to give him emails I pass on to her and the stuff from the open forum here and he's always happy to read them, though he feels bad not being able to write back and thank the people who send them. He wants you all to know that he appreciates everything you've all said and sent and is thankful for all the friends and fans who've taken the time to wish him well.
Also, Marc's new solo CD is getting closer and closer to release from Kitchen Whore Records and I'll keep you posted on that as things develop.
I think that's about it for this update. Thanks to one and all for all you've done to make Marc's ordeal a little more bearable!
Rock on,

The rockabily version of "Mexican Radio" can be found only on the WOV Horror Demo Tapes from the late 1970's. They are frequently for sale on Ebay and usually run no less than $25.00. I have the tape and the quality is pretty poor (expected). The funny thing is is that WOV sounds on par with any other decent LA punk band on those recordings. Stan's voice is very strange.

"my drug buddy" is from the movie "FLOUNDERING" dir. by Peter Macarthy. It plays sometimes on the Comedy Channel, although the movie is more quirky than laugh out loud funny. It's the first song you hear in the movie as James Le Gross rides his bicycle thru Venice beach. Stan also wrote the title song "Floundering" for the movie as well.

The version of Far Side of Crazy that's found on the 12" is actually a different mix than what's on the Sammystown album. It's not THAT much different and I know at least one person who swears she can't hear the difference, but I can. And I've seen the 12" that has both mixes on it (hell, I may even have a copy buried somewhere). The differences are more subtle nuances (more focus on Marc's guitar on one than the other, etc.) rather than huge differences. So that's my 2˘ :)

Hi, I'm a rather new Wall of Voodoo fan with a couple of questions. Recently I found, at a used record store, a 12" Far Side of Crazy single. At first I thought it might have been the single with Wrong Way to Hollywood and Dance You F*#%ers on it, but on both sides the label reads "Side 1 Far Side of Crazy 4:02" and that it was Re-mixed by Pete Hammond, along with having a different cover. I would listen to it and see what's on it, but my record player is in the not working state. Another question I have is about a live performance of Back in Flesh. It starts out with Stan introducing Joe "Wildman" Nanini, Bill "Billy-bob" Nolan, Chas Gray, and Marc Moreland. Stan then talked about Marc's new tattoo with a cow on it and then they went into playing Back in Flesh. At the end of it Stan thanks the people at the El Mocombo(?), CFNY, everyone in Toronto. Then he mentions something about a herpes epidemic and it ends. Thanks for any help that can be given.

hey everyone. Sheldon here. Just a little note about the song "I wanna be a boss." One long weekend I was digging in Marcs' box of demo tapes (and there are a ton of them) and I stumbled on an instramentel that was the band playing what later became "I wanna be a boss" I asked Marc and he said he never hear the song but he remembers practicing it with the band right before stan left. So I played him the song "I wanna be a boss" and his jaw dropped and he let out a little laugh then left the room. Sorry about my spelling. I can't spell worth a tit.

Hello,
I have been a Wall Of Voodoo fan for a while now and I was wondering if anyone knows of another "Mexican Radio" music video? I have the
video by Wall Of Voodoo on the tape called "The Beast Of I.R.S." but when I was around seven years old I remember a video for "Mexican Radio" that wasn't done by Wall Of Voodoo. It was on Mtv when Colin Quinn was a vj. I was wondering if El Vez might have done the video. As you all know El Vez did a remake of "Mexican Radio" on the album "Graciasland". If any of you might know if El Vez did a video, or if Wall Of Voodoo had a second video for "Mexican Radio". I would appreciate it immensely. Thank you very much for your time!

Hi all, I'm a longtime WOV fan who is trying to find someone who will trade live WOV shows (preferably on CDR, but I can do tapes too). I have a ton of live shows by other bands, but can't find anyone with WOV, so I'm hoping somebody here can help. My email is aml65@excite.com and my list of live shows is at: http://pages.prodigy.net/amlsds/
Also, sad news about Marc's health, but glad he seems to be doing OK for now. I work in a hospital, and this seems like a good place to put in a plug for anyone who cares to go out and become an organ donor - and then make sure your friends and family know you want it that way. While you are at it, drop a line to your congressman about getting some national health care - Marc probably owes his life to the fact that he got sick in a civilized country where health care is considered a right, not the priviledge of the rich. I read lots of bellyaching here about how it sucks to be in a bidding war over a rare CD, and how unfair it is that music is scarce (and I agree) - think how it feels to be on the liver transplant list in the USA.

Hello all,
This is for those of you who were wondering how to get your hands on some Nervous Gender music backed by the guys in Wall of Voodoo. Edward, former frontman of Nervous Gender, is now making CDs of that available to those of you who would like to buy it. The CD consists of 8 tracks of the Nervous Gender "Live at the Roxy" show and 1 track from the Variety Arts Center show all of which include Marc, Bruce, Ned and Chas, with Joe appearing on the Variety Arts Center cut. Edward has also included two cuts from Gobscheit which was a side project of his own from the same time period. Those don't have any WoV personnel on them, but they're cool bonus tracks. In addition to all that he has included two tracks from his current project, "Kali's Thugs". All of this can be yours for a mere $25 (in the form of a money order), which includes postage and handling. Email Edward at Nervousgender@yahoo.com for the payment address and for answers to any questions you may have about the CD. This is a great opportunity to get some rare music that's never been available to the general public before, so grab it while you can. Happy listening!
Rock On,

He's now seventeen and has probably forgotten that he was ever famous. If anyone knows which video this is or where I can find a copy, please let me know. Thanx! -Michael Richardson

Ms. Vieuxdo here,
I've been emailing back and forth with Edward, former frontman for Nervous Gender, the past few days and he'd talked to me about the bootleg recordings mentioned below. I know how suspicious all of us are of people claiming to have known band members or, even worse actually BEING band members. I wanted to let you all know that Edward is entirely legit and so are the recordings he has. I personally attended several of the Nervous Gender gigs back in the old days when the guys from WoV were playing with them and I remember Edward well. He was a nice guy back then and he still is. At the moment he's working out the logistics of making the music mentioned here available and you'll all be the first ones to know where you can get it when everything is worked out. So keep an eye on the wall!
Rock on,

Well, my 'puter crashed about a week ago. It fried a few drivers such as the sound card & video card,floppy. I am on the net & that is about it!!!!! I am trying to work on a few things & will let you know when they are done. One is a interview with STAN RIDGWAY called "THE 5 DEADLY THINGYS & ONE ALTERNATE." Don't ask me why I named it that. It will be up I hope by this weekend on the STANFAN site.
STAN if you are reading this, THE DISC IS HUGE !!!!!!! I love it...
I will also list it on STANFAN. The name I am putting it under is "BUGZAPPER-the demos" (sorry guys, but no trading on this one right now. Can't do any burning with the shape my computer is in.) But JTL, TOBY D. CHROME OXIDE & J.T email me, trust me....
I have noticed with SHADOWOV as well as RED TOWER, true the sound is that good, but not to many boots are, except for DANCE OF DEATH. Only because it was taped from a radio broadcast. Also SPIT OUT THE WINDOW is great. As for an ANDY era, Is there is a cdr out there of the MADAM WONG show from 6/2/88 (TOBY ????) That show has great sound.
As for what JOE NANINI did after he left, In the last few years on this forum it was said he worked in a sewing factory & once shared a candy bar with them while pumping gas. I had always heard he ran a junkyard. Musically, He joined THE LONESOME COWBOYS . In the 90's, he did session work for DANGERHOUSE RECORDS(?) 80% of which he didn't get credit for doing.In 1996 he made a recording called SIENNA NANINI-BOHICA. A 7 song blast at head of the christian coalition RALPH REED. One song is actually called "WHY I WANT TO F#$K RALPH REED" As far as known the band SIENNA NANINI didn't really exist. just JOE & some friends having fun on this recording. If there was ever to be a full cd released instead of the ep, we will never know. With JOE gone, that is that....
more to come.

During my teenage youth my sister and I would pack up and hit Hollywood to see Wall of Voodoo, just about every show between 1980-1983. So many years of joy I experienced seeing them and loving their music. Now, I finally join the 21st century and get a computer, go on-line and find this site. This is so cool that there are people like me out there that still love Wall of Voodoo! Thanks for being here!----Marois // howl_lovey@hotmail.com

i have an odd question. How come if you look at the band's set lists from about 1981 onward they play almost nothing from their demo days or play them on an infrequent basis? You'd think they would thrown the demos more often to give the crowd something special to remember.

Stan Ridgway's new one...
NEW TIMES / Los Angeles 11/4/99 Stan Ridgway / "Anatomy" - New West/UltraModern Records
If it's true that beneath the chest of every cynic beats the broken-heart of an optimist just wishing his eyes weren't so damned good, the longstanding party line on Stan Ridgway may be just slightly askew.
Too often remembered either as the bolo-bedecked New Wave smart-ass whose mug surfaced from a pot of boiling beans singing the glories of Mexican radio, or some seen-it-all musical reincarnation of Raymond Chandler with a penchant for Ray-Bans and filter-tips, the "real" Ridgway has often seemed elusive at best. Small wonder; plying his trade in a devalued cult of personality, Stan's never underestimated the value of a good persona - indeed, it's those second and third party viewpoints that have made many of his story-songs so tellingly jaundiced, if perceptively right on the money.
Set against that history, Ridgway's last outing, the largely acoustic "Black Diamond" was a warm, often brilliant surprise from an artist many broken-hearted critics probably thought they'd neatly pegged and filed away long ago. Ridgway may have emerged from this fair city's vaunted early 80's Punk/New Wave history, but that so-called "scene" wasn't much more than a well-timed venue for a band (his original Wall of Voodoo) whose instincts were much artier and - dare we say it - tasteful than their peers.
It came as no surprise to longtime Stan fans that his disparate affections for Sun Records, be-bop, Merle Travis, Dylan, Mose Allison and the intrigues of history were genuine and not the product of some cynical, irony-of-the-age marketing shuck. But it was refreshing to hear him weave them so effortlessly into his work, that quirky, distinctive baritone suddenly finding its rightful niche as a true American original; no surprise he's often more appreciated on the far side of the pond.
Frustrated with the vagaries of the pop music game, Ridgway also embarked on a second, promising career as a film composer, work that's seemingly shaded his recent "Anatomy" release as much as that afore-mentioned singer-songwriter canon informed "Diamond". The new album's perspective is often oblique, if increasingly personal (and in the case of the haunting "Mission Bell," ever more gripping), even if it comes at the immediate expense of what record-biz crit-wits call "accessability" - you're mature adults, so deal with it.

How'd it go down? Why'd it crumble when they were on a sales high with Call of the West? Sure it wasn't Dark Continent, and they had that dorky guy (Stan's friend???)who
looked like a misplaced devo cover band dude playing keyboards(just my luck he probably posts on this forum - sorry, man, was just exaggerating a little) ... but still damn good and not much compromising. I still can't get enough of "They Don't Want Me" - even recently had a dream I was at a WOV concert and they opened up with they don't want me and Marc just killin the place with his guitar and doing half the vocals and joe had the mother lode of frying pans to pound out that percussion- even better Bruce put down the grumpiest bass line of all time for this intro. .. was weird like most dreams
OK enough tangental rambles. Right off the bat I'm not a huge fan of Stan.. so maybe this is skewing my guesses here but:
reasons they broke up:
1.) Stan got an ego after he got his smirky mug known nationally for the video of that fateful song Marc wrote and then decided he wanted to be Uncle Remus and write bland albums which cried out for the guitar that made him? Little did he know this would lead to a lifetime of playing the coach house once a year for people who get their jollies out of hearing that little nasal toned mouse who bailed on WOV mumbling about fraternity guys from Tulane in the audience???
am i completely off?
oh well, I just get depressed when I see what they had- check out how cool they were doing back in Flesh at the improv. They all had some kinda group sickness that was great. They looked good, they sounded completely mega outer space, and were even kind of intimidating. And it all went up when they were album away from really carving their names in the tree
damn
oh well, at least it led to Andy coming on board and creating some cracking concerts and twisted little collection of great, seedier songs
who was there- tell the story

Hey Bill!
Early in '83 (April, I think), Wall of Voodoo played at place in Milwaukee called "Palms" or some such.
A band called "SpiderVision" opened. I remember some of the members were dressed as spiders and one of the songs they played was "Rock the Casbah."
Palms was in downtown Milwaukee. I'm pretty sure it was Milwaukee....

Hello all,
Marc isn't in the States anymore. I got an email from his wife a couple days ago to let me know Marc had returned to France and the hospital there for a little while. His visit to the States really wore him out and he had a little relapse, but his wife is confident he will get better and stronger after some rest and relaxation. With the healthcare system the way it is in the United States, treatment is so expensive here it's out of most people's price range. However, he can get treatment relatively free in France, so that's where he will be. I'm still forwarding emails and snail mail cards to him if anyone wants to give him a boost.
That's all I have to report at the moment. Bye for now.

Hollywood the second time is an amazing song. The song is about a guy who left Hollywood on tour with a band and they had a huge going away party and he left a hero, then he got kicked off the tour and came back to town a total loser. Hence the name. The whole song is about him trying to get home. "Arm hurting bad" cuz he can't get any "Junk".

Hi Toby,
The soundtrack to Cafe Flesh is by Mitchell Froom... no WOV participants, I think, but it is a very WOV-like score. I think it is basically all lifted from an early, long OOP Mitchell Froom album, the title of which I can't remember. I recently got the film on DVD and was surprised to see it had been edited (not the porn scenes), slightly changing the outcome of the plot.
And also, I believe you're right about FX Pope being Jerry Stahl (Stahl appears on Froom's recent CD from a couple of years back).

Toby Dammit here:
Can't we all just get along?!?!?!
What's on the soundtrack to Cafe Flesh? Any Voodoo participant's? Rinse Dream used Voodoo's ring Of Fire without their permission in Night Dreams his movie before Cafe Flesh. He paid them back by doing the cover to Call Of The West and the video to Mexican Radio with his partner FX Pope who I think was Jerry Stahl, the author of the book (and now film) Permanent Midnight.
What's going on with Marc? Is he coming back to the States?

RE:the "Crack the Bell" video-This video is a basically a lip synch performance of the song filmed at The Central club on Sunset(which is now The Viper Room).Pretty entertaining though. Both "Crack" and "Call Box" are featured on "The IRS Special" filmed in 1981 and shown a few times in 1982 on MTV."Call Box" and short interview with WOV were filmed at Wall of Voodoo "office" on La Brea.Also shown is a short clip of Stan and Belinda Carlisle berating Jools(the host) for being such a Copeland brown noser. The IRS Special was an hour long show dealing with the then roster of Miles Copeland's record label. also featured were clips of The Go-go's ,Oingo Boingo ,Dead Kennedys,The Cramps and The Alleycats as well as Jools Holland's band.Most of the performance clips of the bands -excep WOV & Go-go's- are outtakes from the "URRRRRGHHI A Music War" film.

To be accurate, on the West of Sammystown CD, Stan sings on "Hands of Love", "Mexican Radio" and "Drive She Said". Marc sings on "Museums" & "The Missionary" (which became "7 Weeks" on the Department of Crooks CD). And Andy sings on "Deep in the Jungle", "Bonnie O'Callon", "In My Night", "Far Side of Crazy", "Frantanize", "Business of Love", "Dance You Fuckers", "Blue Light" and "Faith". "Pick It Up",and "Sammystown Instrumental" are both instrumentals with no vocals.
As for the upcoming album from Marc Moreland, "Take It To the Spotlight" on Kitchen Whore Records, yes Marc does sing on it along with Lisa Dewey and John Parish. As far as I know, it's still due for a June release.
Rock on,

I agree, weetoddid's attitude is pretty shitty. About 5 years ago I got the Take Me... demos as well as some shows that I've not seen on others lists until after I started trading more. But am I the reason they're out there? No, of course not. The guy I got them from obviosuly got them from someone else and so on. Unless you got those demos directly from someone in the band, and they told you "hey, we never gave these to anyone else", then you may have something. Otherwise someone else out there has them also. And not everyone who trades tapes is on the internet, so don't assume just b/c no one else sold it on ebay that you're the reason people are hearing it.

If it wasn't for you we would not be enjoying these demos right now?
Did I just read that right? YOU ARE THE REASON?
Are you ANDY? STAN? MARC? BRUCE? no? maybe you are CHAS or NED maybe?
If you are NOT. Then it is not because of YOU. How dare you.
Did you make this music?
Did you write it?
Did you even tune MARC'S guitar?
If you did NOT, then it is not because of YOU. How dare you.
What a jerk.
You wanted to make a profit with them?
I don't even know what to say to that.
"a few others may have had these demos in their possession"?
It sounds that way doesn't it.
You "excepted the best of the offers"?

From: Weetoddid
It's fun and amusing reading the buzz surrounding the "West of Sammystown Demos." You see, if it wasn't for me...you wouldn't be enjoying them now. I don't mean that to sound like boasting, it's simply fact. The story is a long one, but here it is nonetheless.
I have owned those WOV demos plus many others since the early '80s. (Some before Call Of the West, others after Stan's departure.) How I attained them, I obviously can't say, but I sat on them, enjoying them privately until early last year, when I thought it might finally be time to both profit from them, and let other fans enjoy them as well.
I attempted to auction the demos on Ebay in late January 2000, with the title "Look At Their Way." The song list was:
1) Hands of Love
2) Mexican Radio
3) Pick It Up (instrumental)
4) Drive She Said
5) Museums
6) Deep In the Jungle
7) Bonnie O Callen
8) Dead Puppets
9) Far Side Of Crazy
10) Night of Nights
11) This Business of Love
12) Seven Weeks
13) Dance You Fuckers
14) Blue Light
15) This Nights Not Over (instrumental)
16) Faith In the Bottle
The auction was going well until Ebay pulled it. That happens. I then began to receive private offers from interested bidders. I decided to accept the best of the offers, thus releasing these cool demos into the public domain. A few others may have had these demos in their possession, but prior to my sale, I had NEVER EVER seen them. Not on Ebay, any other auction house, fansites, bootleg sites...anywhere.
Someone... possibly the "Anonymous" writer to this open forum from 3-12-01, Renamed the demos "West of Sammystown, changed cover art, and re-titled a few of the songs...but again, that's half the fun of having this stuff right?
Is this an April Fools joke?.. Nope, not a bit. Can I prove all I've told here?..Yes, I think so. Firstly, any Wall Of Voodoo fan who saw the aforementioned auction from over a year ago can at least confirm seeing it on Ebay as early as last January . Secondly, I may re-release "Look At Their Way" with a couple of EXTRA SONGS which I intentionally left out of the collection the first time. I have NOT SEEN these extra tunes listed on any other WOV demo collection. (That includes "Take Me To Your Leader".)
I also have very rare demos and live shows by Oingo Boingo, The Police, The Go-Gos, and others...none of which has EVER been released, bootleg or otherwise...At least yet. But I'm working on it. Any suggestions Voodoo fans? Anyhow, that's the story. Enjoy the demos!

A little Marc Moreland health update...
As I said before, Marc's still in France, but out of the hospital, doing the rest of the tests he needs done and receiving the care he still needs on a regular basis, as an out patient. Overall, his condition is better than it was. From the last updates from his doctor, he's had a 60% improvement. The doctor's still against his returning to the State, saying that it's still too early and would jeopardize his health and the progress he's made. They should find out more about what the doctors now think needs to be done, and when it can be done and all that within the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, although things are looking up, Marc is far from cured, and it doesn't mean he's completely out of trouble yet. I'll keep you posted when I hear more.
And now for a Marc Moreland music update. His new cd is being mastered as I type. As far as we know right now, it's gonna be released on Kitchen Whore Records in June. You can find out a little more information on the News page at Kitchen Whore's web site at http://www.kitchenwhore.com.
That's all for today. Rock on.

Well, the mysteryman (or woman) has spoken... and quite eloquently I might add.
And BTW I as well LOVE Adam and the Antz, as can be detected whilst perusing my boots list. It's the first listing and there are many demos included there.... really early rare shit.
So now that have gotten on to more important things, let's talk about said demos.... I played them for Andy and he has floor that these are making the rounds. I recorded him talking about them and will transcripbe it and post what he said, but really quickly... Museums and In My Night he thinks were recorded during the Call Of The West sessions and Stan was not real big on them so they got shelved. They may have been recorded with Richard Mazda... Richard are you out there???? And while we're at it, what about Pick It Up (And Put It In Your Pocket) and Just Drive She Said? Were you around for these demos as well?
Blue light was a demo that he is really perplexed about... because it was only ever a demo that he did himself and no one would have had a copy of that. Frantanize is actually called This Night of Nights. The Missionary is a demo of Seven Weeks that ended up on the Dept of Crooks album.
So There you have it. I'll post more later....

Ok, I might as well speak about the SAMMYSTOWN demos. After all, I am the one selling them on ebay.Pardon me for not stating my name.
Believe it or not, I have had these demos for about a year & did not know it. I did a massive trade once covering everyone from PETSHOP BOYS to THOMAS DOLBY in video, MADONNA to SOFT CELL in posters, tapes, albums, cassettes & cds. I had put in the request that if any WOV was in her tradeables, I would take them. When I got this package, one of the cds had written on the disc "WALL OF VOODOO demos". Thinking this was the TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER demos, I filed it away as an extra. A few weeks ago, I lost my job. So I started selling on ebay again. I remembered that I had the extra demos cd & was putting it on ebay at the time. I put it in to listen to it (becuse I am crazy about the song TEST TUBE BABY)My jaw dropped as I started listening to this. I mean, it is like hearing a long lost album. I start it out at $9.99 not knowing what will happen. When they have been selling rather high I have been adding extra stuff for the winner, to make it right in my mind. If you want to buy a copy but can not go through the ebay process, email me through ebay and make me an offer. If you want to trade, make me an offer. As a matter of fact TOBY, I love ADAM & THE ANTS. You never know, so just ASK ME. I am not trying to break anyones bank, just put food on the table & put gas in the car.
Oh, and ED, let me tell you, I am so envious of you. Wish I had that bass myself. I hope this makes what I am doing seem a litle bit more acceptable to our writer with such harsh words against us "WOV FANS"

Hello all, and thanks to Mrs Vieuxdo to update us about Marc.
Thanks to Toby for "Joyride" infos
I didn't want to offend anybody about ebay. And Mrs V. is right auctions are generally starting at a low price. But an Eminem fan can
buy a record at $12 and a Wov when have to pay $80 (plus various fees so let's say $100). I'm not sure it's very fair. That's nobody's fault, just a fact. Sorry but I don't care about Eminem and I do love Wov...I didn't complain, I tried to make more people happy (Including me :-). That's why I suggested to share copies of oop's.
PS : I also trade nuclear secrets. Low-price copies welcome.
Later.

Hello all,
I haven't posted anything in a long time because there hasn't been anything much to report. The last I heard about Marc was he was well enough to go home for a while but still had frequent trips to the hospital. There's still a possibility that he'll need a liver transplant, but I've had no official word when, were or if it will actually take place. When I hear more, I'll let you know.
On the subject of Bruce's ex-bass guitar, yes I sold it to Ed before I made a cross-country move a couple years ago. Since I bought it from a pawn shop many, many years ago after it was hocked and never picked up, I legitimately owned it and it was mine to do with as I pleased. If someone has a problem with that, that's tough shit. I could just as easily sold it to another pawn shop instead of to Ed who I know will treasure it as much as I did. And the band member's jacket the fool was ranting about being sold is still in my closet and will stay there. As Ed said, before you stick your foot in your mouth again, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
On the subject of trading and selling on ebay, I agree with Toby. There's nothing wrong with it and from what I've seen in the past, most of the auctions start at a very reasonable price. If people want to bid items up, that's their perogative. And if fans want to trade back and forth, let 'em trade! These aren't nuclear secrets, folks. They're CDs and tapes.
That's it for me this time. Rock on.

O.K. there people....
I have a plethora of boots and have always opened my doors to trade's, I have just never gotten any takers. For the record, my boot's are listed on:
http://www.smutzine.com/boots/
I got a copy of West Of Sammy's Town and it's amazing!!!! And I traded for it. So it's possible to trade for it. You can not fault a guy for posting something on e-bay and letting it raise in price. he didn't start it at fifty bucks or anything. All of those people that bid on it could have e-mailed the guy and tried o set up a trade. It is usually considered good ettiquete to offer something in the trade besides blank cdrs or tapes. I think for the most part we all listen to other stuff too, so if you don't got any Voodoo maybe some old Adam and the Antz or Bow Wow Wow boots will do. So quit complaining and get e-mailing. I started with nothing and emassed a collection through percerverance and hard e-mailing.
BTW Ensenita Joyride WAS a band that Marc was in. They were around in France the first time that Marc went there to live. This was after Voodoo broke up (or as Andy puts it "Went away"). Marc was fed up with the States and went to france to live with his now wife. I believe that they recorded an album. Then when he finally made it back to the states he found out that there was another band with the same name and they were on Dr. Dream records, which ironically was the same label as Andy at the time.
So There you have it.

Hello all, Jim and John.
John : OOP copies are enough for me. I'm fully conscious that I'll never get all the original bootlegs except if I win lotto. I try to get original official cd because I don't want to steal my favourite band and I can pay $15. But "Out of print" or "bootlegs" are too expensive for me. Currently I have not "Dance of death" yet, and your copy should be welcome. Of course I'd like to send you, in return, a copy of what I will find in the future, and also pay for your charges.
Just let me know if you're still ok.
Ed : Are you the friendly guy from New Orleans who wrote me ?
You got Bruce's bass ???? Congrat !!!
Jim : I'm not sure to fully understand what you wrote hereunder about
the winner of "Grampa" because of my bloody bad english.
I fully agree with the end of your message, and I apologize for my ambigous previous one. I'm still ok to send a copy of what I got to anyone ask for, but oop's only. No way to injure the band who enjoys me for years.
About ebay : If some of you are ok we could help each other :
I could (and maybe you could) do the best, in order to win an high bid once a year (for example) and share it with the "ring of friendly fans in touch" in sending a cdr to you.
When I said it's impossible for me to get official bootlegs, I actually can spend $80 for a cd once a year, but not much.
If you are in the same situation, maybe we could organize an such
arrangement. (And overall not to bid against each other)
Let me know what you think about it.
PS : GET WELL MARC ! Plz, Mrs Vieuxdo, keep us updated.
PS II : Someone said to me that "Soul Coughin" sound as Wov (Stan's era) Unfortunately (or fortunately ?) It's wrong .
I guess nobody sounds like Wov and that's also why we do love them and
do need their unique records.
Have a good day,
Chris

Hello All! Christophe, I can't believe you have stuff posted on this board, small world!
I for one don't have any problem with the guy on EBAY selling his demo CDR's. Face it, if not for him most of us would have gone through life without knowing of its existence. At least now the possibility exists that we can hear it. Getting something 'new' from a favorite band that's been gone for a long time is incredible. For me it's impossible to put a price on it, it's worth far more to me than I paid, that much is certain. I currently have the "West of Sammystown" and have the "Take me to Your Leader" and "Grampa's House" enroute to me as we speak. I only received one through auction, the balance through requests and trades although I did end up paying for "Grampa's House" though nowhere near the 70.00 that the winning bidder paid at the most recent auction. Yeah it takes some nerve to request a trade from someone who just shelled out 70.00 for a CD on EBAY, but I teach my kids that it never hurts to ask. The seller in question seems like a good enough guy (great guy actually), although I don't have any way to verify it. I consider email correspondence to be private so I will not divulge any information that we exchanged, I will suggest that the complainer consider that he knows nothing about the seller and his particular situation. Given the tone of the complainers message I'm not certain that it would make a big difference in his attitude but I'm going to give him (the complainer)the benefit of doubt.
I will include my email address although it will change in the next month or so. I've been looking at boards for a while but never posted, my mistake. I've been fortunate enough to make internet friends with several folks who enjoy the same tunes as I do. By and large it's a great group. For the record, I will not sell anything, period. I will not make CDR of anything that is not OOP, so don't even ask. If there is interest in trades, so long as it doesn't violate any policies on this board I'd be willing. Love to hear some bootleg Dept. of Crooks, Prieboy, WOV, Stan.
So Long For Now,

Hello all,
Frenchie is back :)...I'm sure there is some guitars players here and
I'd like to know if Marc plays normal or open-tuning.
I'm Fully UNABLE to understand how to play "Back in flesh"
Where do these chords come from ??? Is it a matter of effect ???
Is it the "Blue Box" touch ? I guess It's just the Marc touch but
I'd like you to confirm. It's stranger than "Gang of four" first album.
Thanks for your help.
PS : Following my message from yesterday I forgot to mention: some wov fans are really nice and friendly guys, especially both who emailed me.
PS II : Plz could you confirm that Marc played with a band named "Ensanada Joyride" in 1989 and if a record from them still exists ???
PS III : What's about Marc's health ?(again)

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for my broken english :-(( I'm french and learned
english with "Ultima on line", not the best school isnt'it ?
The first time I heard Wov was in 1981 (Back in flesh)but I didn't realize how good the band was. (I was a fucking metal freak) Now they are my favorite band for years, and I used to listen my old "Dark Continent" Lp once a day at least. But it's too late...I missed all the videos and rare tracks released during the 80's and early 90's.
Of course I got all the new and used Wov/Stan/Andy records available in my region (Southern France)...But it's not enough for a true Wov-addicted.
I tried e-bay, but I can't afford to pay $60 or 80 (plus shipping and
bidpay fees) and just won "Montezuma"
What about dance of death, what about West of Sammystown or Grampa's house ???(I'm currently bidding for $45 but I probably will lose the battle tonight) I even never saw Wov live nor in a fucking video clip !!!
What can I do ? I can't spend $300 to get 3 cd's and I guess I'm not
the only one...
Why do the others Wov fans refuse to share their unavailable records
and videos, as it's impossible to buy them ?
I don't understand a such greedy attitude, and I promise to send a
copy of all my future Wov unavailable records to anyone who ask for it
(for the price of shipping and blank cd only)
At this time I just own the complete official Wov/Stan/Andy discography except "dance of death"
But if anyone is interested, no problem, just e-mail me
nyxdorf@altavista.fr
Later
PS : The most important : What about MARC'S HEALTH ????????????

The guy emailed you ? So who is this guy? What is his problem? To good to offer them to us? why does he have to sell them on ebay?
Then again, why am I asking you guys for? wasn't one of you selling a band members jacket? & I think I heard one of you was selling BRUCE'S BASS? What CRAP! Give him his bass, don't sell it. What is wrong with you people? Are you crazy? If you people were true fans you wouldn't do this. You so called WALL OF VOODOO fans make me sick! Go on and bid on your SAMMYSTOWN demos TATTOO, when you get it, turn it sideways & shove it up with the rest of your crap.

Here is what the guy e-mailed me aobut them.....
"As for this cd... wow, songs like MISSONARY. It should
have been on there. As for DANCE, it is not the same
version. FAITH would have shaken a few people up.
Not to crazy about the song FRANTANIZE. As for BONNIE
O'CALLON I can't put my finger on it, but I have heard
that somewhere in another form. FAR SIDE is the "easy
listening" version pehaps. DEEP IN THE JUNGLE it pretty
much the same just a little raw in this demo. As for
IN MY NIGHT, the sound is prety darn good I think.
I can see why the song BLUE LIGHT was not used. whew..
The Stan songs are interesting. Hands of love is the
same except the ending is different. Whole different
mix of MEXICAN RADIO (most noable is the vocals & the
"mexican keyboard" part in the middle is not there.)
Th instrumental of PICK IT UP & PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET
is great. DRIVE SHE SAID (voodoo syle)has a few
different lyrics, he still hadn't figured it out yet on
the direction he was going with this song."
So maybe that gives you more of an idea what they are...
I would bid if I were you... I've never seen them before and I have a shit load of stuff.

Hi Everyone,
If anyone is intrested, I know there can never be another WOV but the closest thing to them is a band from Australia named "The Cruel Sea" and I've been listening to them for years. I've always considered them to be the Australian Wall Of Voodoo. They are really cool, to sample them, go to Napster and look up the band under artist then try the track titled "Dakota" and see if you see any similar threads. They are still together as well.
The cd "This is not the way Home" is great, so is the title song from the cd. They have a the same gritty feel as WOV.
But like I said, they are not WOV nor will they ever be, but it's really cool music and who isn't open to new cool stuff that's not the same boring stuff on the airwaves these days.
Happy listening
Get Well Soon Marc!

I never understand this, they could be making so much money on this if they charged what they charge on eBay. Well talk 2 you all later.

Say, there is a guy who knows what he needs. Ok, KAWASAKI, asid from the HOLLYWOOD show, CATALYST CLUB & the ATANTA SHOW, all the little 5 minute tv shots (american bandstand,Urgh a music war, MV3, etc.) can be found on one video. It is called MEXICAN OVERDOSE. It also has ANDY era stuff too (A. HALL show, etc.)Also missing from your list is DDRYWALL LIVE @ THE ALIGATOR LOUNGE & STAN live @ TEMPO RECORDS vidos. I am also convinced that there is SO much more out there. With the discovery of a 1980 show in England I found as well as the CD WEST OF SAMMYSTOWN on ebay. GOOD LORD, that sounds like something SHATNER would say:

I'd like to have a beer with that character. By the way, whose idea was it to stick talking tinas voice on the disc? You were part of an alltime classic album. one day the world will wise up

Hello all,
Sorry I didn't answer the last post sooner, but I was out of town last week and I'm only now catching up on things.
I've had nothing new to report on Marc's condition other than his spirits have definitely been lifted due to all the cards, letters and emails he's been getting from all of you. He is still in France and will remain there for an undetermined amount of time. While it would be nice to be home where he can understand the doctors and such, the medical care he's receiving in France is free of charge. As all uf us here in the U.S. know, the medical care system sucks and extended hospital stays like Marc's would bankrupt all but the very richest. So, for the moment, Marc remains in France. If I have anything else to report, you'll see it here first.
That's all folks!

Hello all... against my better judgment, I have decided to become a college radio DJ! The show's name is "Exhuming The '80s" and, as you can probably guess by the fact that I'm posting here, yes, I will be playing Wall of Voodoo! And no, I don't mean I'm gonna slap "Mexican Radio" on once and then forget about the boys. My first show (tomorrow - 1/22/01, 2-4 pm EST) will end with Dark Continent in its entirety. For more info, including a RealAudio link to the show, check out http://members.aol.com/exhumingthe80s. Thanks all, and long live WoV!

First.... MARC. get well man, we need more music out of you. Can't get enough of that sound. You think we would forget you? 'yer crackin' me up. When I was in high school, all the kids blasting VAN HALEN & that other metal crap. I could stop traffic going through town blasting RING OF FIRE & CRACK THE BELL. Since you are going to read this, I wanted to thank you. JTL got you to sign a beer coaster for me. It has got to be the coolest thing. While others sign promo pick, if they were even the one who signed them. From a member of WALL OF VOODOO, JTL agrees with me, it seems not only cool but fitting. WALL OF VOODOO was, is and will always be part of the soundtrack that I lived to.
Did I just say that? hhhmm, 'nah I'll leave it....
Second. RICH, (hey, nice name.) You need that ROOM with a view alternate, their actually is 2 alternates. making 3 out there. E-me dude. let me see what I can do to help. Here is that e-thing

If you haven't sent anything off to marc and you like wall of voodoo in any way- write him a little something. After all, Marc was the heart and soul of WoV (in my humble opinion). Plus Ms. Vieuxdo(Ms. E) is making it easy on us and saving us postage by giving us the USA P.O. Box
now my query...
A while back when I was really getting caught up in WoV it was right after Stan left and I was finally old enough to get into some clubs (that's why I'm a bigger fan of Andy, I think?.. well there are lots of reasons but that's a different topic)I bought the single for big city . It was a 45 and had an extremely cool version of room with a view on it. Way better than the one on Sammystown. Anyone know if that has been MP3'ed or if it can be bought anywhere?
get better marc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, it was the first record I ever bought. I was 6 or 7. Someone

LP. Someone please help me clear this up.

MARC MORELAND UPDATE
While there's no official update on Marc's actual health, I did get an email from his wife this morning and I wanted to let you all know what she said. So far he's received the cards that were sent to the address in France plus I've been forwarding all the email good wishes to his wife. She's been printing them out and taking them to the hospital for him when she visits. She says all the love and good will being sent to him has definitely boosted his spirits just like we hoped it would. So please keep those cards, letters and emails coming!
Hard as it may be to believe, Marc really has no idea how popular he is and how many fans still exist. I know a lot of you feel the way I do about him and the music he's given us. Marc and his music have been a part of my daily life for two decades now. Even after 20 years I still speed down the road in my car creating a major traffic hazard playing air guitar along with Marc to Can't Make Love and Tse Tse Fly. And I scream down the highway with Dept. of Crooks Plan 9 From Las Vegas blasting from the car stereo too. Marc has created his own style of playing that is so unique no one else will ever be able to duplicate it. And you know what? When I'm 90 years old, I'm STILL going to be speeding down the highway playing air guitar along with Marc! And on a personal level, Marc has to be one of the nicest people I've ever met.
So how about the rest of you? What is it that you really love about Marc and/or Wall of Voodoo in general? Tell all! I'm forwarding all email and copying and pasting all positive posts to Marc's wife so she can print them out and read them to him. So keep posting and keep emailing. You really are helping!
Ok, I'm outta here. Bye for now!

BREAKING NEWS ON MARC
The Moreland family are trying very hard to get approval from his doctor to
sign off on him so they can bring him home to the U.S. No one's quite sure
yet how it will happen or what the time frame is, but if all goes well he
won't be in France much longer. The new address is:
Marc Moreland
PO Box 1384
Coos Bay, OR 97420
Things are moving much faster than we ever thought they would and the
situation is literally changing daily. It's no problem if mail is on the
way to the France address because it will just be forwarded here to the
States by his friend if it gets there after he's gone. But any new mail
should go to the PO Box.

I don't have time for more stories today except to say that life is way too short and that i am too painfully aware of my own mortality to forget that i am the limey bro of one of the most original bands that ever crawled outa west hollywood and that it was an honour to be a part of it. mazda

Ok, this will teach me to copy and paste without making sure the original is correct. I've been informed we have yet another typo in Marc's address. Here's what is should be in its entirety(Here is the latest address 1/3/01 JtL):
Marc Moreland
PO Box 1384
Coos Bay, OR 97420
For those of you who have already sent something off, don't worry, I'm sure it will get there with much headshaking from the French postal clerks and mutters of "Those stupid Americans...." Thanks to everyone who has contacted me and posted on The Wall so far. Looks like we're going to be channeling quite a lot of positive vibes towards Marc.
It's also nice to see you joining in as well, Stan. I've always had high respect for you and your music. You've got as unique a view on life as Marc always has. Rock on.
Cheers,
Elizabeth

Ms. Vieudo, this info on Marc is appreciated. We've talked over the years, of course, but not for a few. The world needs Marc's guitar and wonderfully askew world view now more than ever. Thanks for the address.
And to someone here who's favorite song was "They Don't Want Me" - that's Marc's song all the way, I think I added a line here or there, but it was Marc's grand metal opus to "?" and I was simply the singer.
I always took the song as an answer to some of the critical swipes the band was getting at the time. You know ..one week you're IN. the next you're OUT. But that was my take. Marc has the real answer..so let's get him well and then we can ALL ask him what it REALLY meant?
a happy new aluminum to all,
Stan Ridgway
