I just got back from Israel this week. I had a great time and met tons of
people and it was great. Guess what! I get to see Bio Ritimo in two weks at
the Philly Folk Fest. And I just bought two pavement albums, their new one,
Terror Twilight, and "Westing (by musket and sextant"). terror twilight is
wonderful and Westing is just as godd if you listen through the static and
disturbance. But I guess that's what you get for recording in a garage on a
four-track and then deciding to not produce at all. I'm very happy.

And the album cover for Oh! The Grandeur is on the Rykodisc site.

Friends, Thought you might enjoy this. O those wacky Deutschlanders!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
DANCE BAND RULES AND REGULATIONS DURING THE 3RD REICH
[This is an authentic set of German rules, unfortunately not a joke!]
1. In the repertoire of light orchestras and dance bands, pieces in
fox-trot rhythm (so-called swing) are not to exceed 20%.
2. In the repertoire of this so-called jazz type, preference is to
be given to compositions in a major key and to lyrics expressing
joy in life ("Kraft durch Freude"), rather than Jewishly gloomy
lyrics.
3. As to the tempo, too, preference is to be given to brisk composi-
tions as opposed to slow ones (so-called blues); however, the pace
must not exceed a certain degree of allegro commensurate with the
Aryan sense for discipline and moderation. On no account will
negroid excesses in tempo (so-called hot jazz) be permitted, or in
solo performances (so-called breaks).
4. So-called jazz compositions may contain at the most 10% syncopation;
the remainder must form a natural legato movement devoid of hysteri-
cal rhythmic references characteristic of the music of the barbarian
races and conducive to dark instincts alien to the German people
(so-called "riffs").
5. Strictly forbidden is the use of instruments alien to the German
spirit (e.g., so-called cowbells, flex-a-tone, brushes, etc.) as
well as all mutes which turn the noble sound of brass-wind instru-
ments into a Jewish-Freemasonic yell (so-called wa-wa, in hat, etc.).
6. Prohibited are so-called drum breaks longer than half a bar in four
quarter beat (except in stylized military marches).
7. The double bass must be played solely with the bow in so-called jazz
compositions; plucking of strings is prohibited, since it is damaging
to the instrument and detrimental to Aryan musicality. If a so-called
pizzicato effect is absolutely desirable for the character of the
composition, let strict care be taken lest the string is allowed to
patter on the sordine, which is henceforth forbidden.
8. Provocative rising to one's feet during solo performance is forbidden.
9. Musicians are likewise forbidden to make vocal improvisations (so-
called scat).
10. All light orchestras and dance bands are advised to restrict the use
of saxophones of all keys and to substitute for them violin-celli,
violas, or possibly a suitable folk instrument.

Here's what a couple of folks said when selling copies of this video
on eBay:
"This is an official Mammoth records release titled simply, Squirrel
Nut Zippers Live. It is in a nice box with a full color group photo,
the box is in great shape. It contains over 30 minutes of live footage
and band interviews for the serious Squirrel Nut Zippers fan. Recorded
live in Denver, and issued in 1998."
"Live footage and band interviews for the serious Squirrel Nut Zippers
fan. Featuring performances of several tracks from thier new release
"Perenial Favorites," along with favorites from "Hot" and "The Inevi-
table." Recorded Live at The Ogden Theater in Denver Colorado."
Let me know if you'd like me to email you JPG images of the front and
back of the video box. (They're low-res images form the eBay listings.)

Yes, there is a video. My brother actually got one for me for my birthday.
It's a video with some interviews(Chris, Tom, Jimbo, Katherine, and Ken all
had stuff to say) and songs off all three of their albums. Let's see...there
was "Put a Lid on It," "An Evening at Laffitte's," "Hell," "Ghost of Stephen

MAN SLIDES HIS TROMBONE & KILLS MUSICIAN IN FRONT OF HIM
By Randy Jeffries/Weekly World News (January 23, 1996)
Bocholt, Germany - A band musician died of a brain injury
when the trombonist behind him jerked the slide of his trom-
bone forward and struck the trumpeter in the back of the
head. Police say the tragedy occurred as the Gratzfeld College
band was rehearsing the spirited American jazz classic, "When
the Saints Go Marching In."
According to other band members, trombonist Peter Niemeyer,
19, "got carried away" with the music. He started gyrating and
thrashing around as he played. At one point, he jerked for-
ward and the rounded metal slide on his instrument hit trumpet
player Dolph Mohr, 20, dropping him instantly to the floor.
"Niemeyer was pumping the slide very hard," said medical exam-
iner Dr. Max Krause. "But it wasn't just the force of the blow
that killed Mohr. "The slide struck him in the worst possible
place--the vulnerable spot just behind and below the left ear.
"Bone fragments pierced his brain, killing him instantly."
The incident has provoked a storm of controversy over whether
or not American jazz should be played in German colleges. "I
believe the music is to blame," said Gratzfeld band director
Heinrich Sommer. "I was pressured to play that selection by
school administrators. But I've always said jazz is dangerous
music, "Our musicians can't control themselves when they play
it. They move and rock back and forth, creating chaos. If I had
my way, American Dixieland would be outlawed in Germany. I've
been directing bands for 30 years and I've never heard of any-
one dying while playing a German march."

There is also a 25 minute documentary that I made on the band back in '96 for
the release of "Hot." It is titled "Squirrel Nut Zippers Musical Candy." It
focuses largely on the bands' history and the recording of "Hot." Most of it
was split up into the "Hot" CD-ROM but it exists as a stand alone piece. It
has shown at a couple of film festival type things. The label sent out about
1000 or so to use as a promotional item for "Hot." It got chopped up into
little video clips all over the place. I always felt like it kind of got
squashed by the label because they weren't interested in distributing it
after so much work was put into it.

This video was a promotion given out free to the first 50 or 100 (I forget)
people to buy PF at Best Buy. The interviews are from, what looks like,
backstage at the concert.
The problem I had with the tape is that Mammoth was so cheap that they it
is on SLP so the quality isn't that great. I mean the thing is only 30
minutes and it was a limited release, couldn't they splurge a bit. I guess
I'm just a bit bitter because I should be listening to Tom's album by
now....

They could always stand a little farther apart. It's also possible that
the trumpet player was an asshole (hey, it happens!!).

Is there anything lately that HASN'T been squashed by "the label"?
Radio stations no longer play SNZ - at all - and MTV apparently won't play
the Stephen Foster video (although I can't say I've watched it round the
clock to find out).
I think sabotage of their own artists (certainly from a marketing
standpoint) ought to be grounds for cancellation of the remaining contract.

Being a trumpet player myself I know a lot of other trumpet players. And if
there was a fight it was most likely started by the trumpeter...thats just
the way most of us are (not me though).

Subject: Tom Maxwell...
Hey everyone... Since Kenny's last post, I haven't seen anything said by
anyone about Mammoth dropping tom from their roster. What's going on here?
I have seen his CD advertised no where, and no one knows anything about
it. As we all should know it was supposed to be out on Tuesday, and
still... nothing. Any one know anything i don't?

Yeah, and the cybercast of one of their concerts was recently pulled from
the archives at hob.com. I bet you Mammoth had something to do with it.
I'm really mad now.

For an interesting (animated) bjork video, go to www.spumco.com. (Yup,
that's the same website that's hosting a high quality version of "Ghost
of Stephen Foster". Just go under entertainment. Here's the direct link

Hello everyone. I'm new to this digest and wanted to introduce myself
properly (takes a bow...).
Anyways, I was listening to Christmas Caravan while I was drawing one night
and I left it playing after the last song. After a while, it started playing
the original version of Hanging Up My Stockings by Chester Church. Did
anyone else notice this. Its kinda neat.

I was playing this at a friend's house and when that old version came on it
scared her half out of her wits (she thought it was over and went into the
kitchen). She said it "sounds like some old drunk outside the window".
I never knew who the original recording was made by... since it is
uncredited... how did you find out?

Subject: RE: dixieland death
Hey all, still here in NC. Haven't seen or heard from Kenny yet but Hobex is
playing saturday so we'll see. I saw the countdown quartet sunday, by chance,
at Henry's Bistro (20 pts. for you if you know why that place is famous!) and
last night i went to see Insignificant Others at the home of writer/director
J. David Moody aka one of TOm's best friends. More on that later.
but anyway, in regards to the Dixieland thing someone posted....Most jazz
bands i know have the trumpets behind the trombones, and saxes in front of
them. If playing trombone is so deadly to those around them, i can see why
they'd position the saxes so ;) andy ;)
for the record, the rubber cover came off the "foot" of my trombone slide
years ago, and i have since sharpened it to a point :)

Well, I went to Anrew's Birds show in Narragansett, RI. While I was there
a friend and i met some people interest, anmely Je's wife and her mother
and son. Je's son was a little cutie. Anyway, we asked them about the
album and they said they had recieved a copy for them selves and it was
"like the Zippers on Acid" hehehe. So we asked when it was coming out and
they told us.
The thing is, I've seen it advertised no where else. :(
