I don't like the holiday season very much but this is going to make it a LOT more tolerable...

The Showcase Showdown, New Bomb Turks and The Konks, plus Sara J. from WMBR DJ-ing, on December 19, at The Paradise

I'm sure "Merry Christmas I Fucked Your Snowman" will be on the set list.

Terrence “Terry” James Stamp 1945-2026. I’m still devastated from Jesse Hector passing away this past week. Two of my musical heroes and two wonderful guys that I had the pleasure of knowing and having on my label. As much as Jesse’s passing hurt, Terry’s hurts even more because unlike Jesse, I kept in regular contact and visited him every time I was in LA. Jesse didn’t have a phone or email so I could only see him on rare trips to London.

Terry made music for all the right reasons. I believe the most pure reason for making music is that it’s something inside you that you just have to get out, whether or not anyone hears it. After you complete that song, it’s a relief, and you can’t wait to get the next one out of you. It’s a purge of emotions and part of your soul.

Terry started his music career in the early 60s in various local rock n roll groups around London. A little later, he was playing bass for Mike Rabin & The Demons, the house band for the Wimbledon Palais, who had the opportunity to open for the likes of Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Kinks, The Who, The Rolling Stones, just to name a few. Check out their excellent single “Head Over Heels” b/w “I’m Leaving You” 45, cut in a single 30 minute recording session at Abbey Road. After the Wimbledon Palais closed in 1967, Terry became a songwriter for Schroeder Music Publishing, after a brief spell as a banjo player in a jug band. There, he met John Fenton who would put him together with Jim Avery (ex-The Attack, Thunderclap Newman) to form Third World War. Terry and Jim commenced to writing and recording demos in Fenton’s flat. TWW cut two incendiary albums of authentic working class rage that were far, far ahead of their time. TWW called it a day by late spring ‘73. Terry resurfaced in July 1975 with his debut solo album, Fatsticks. I cannot stress enough the greatness of this woefully neglected LP.

Terry emigrated to the US by summer ‘75 and never stopped writing and recording until the very end. He loomed large in my life and I cherish every minute we spent together. Rest easy, Terry.

Special thanks to @dr_faustroll & @theheavyjamz for helping spread the gospel according to Terry.

Finally found this pic. So sad a second Dictator has left us (along with my one time huge crush Top Ten). One of my all time favorite bands, always a fun time. This was at the fairly short-lived Lilly’s in Somerville. Oh wait that’s where I bugged Ross to give me a t shirt cuz I’d seen them for so many years. This was at Once in 2016. In any case a sad day. I wish I could post two songs but figured I’d mix it up with a little Manowar. RIP Ross.

To celebrate my @wmbrfm anniv this year, I’m looking back at my favorites at the @paradiserockclub People don’t have as fond memories of that club compared to the Rat and Channel but they had great shows, esp in the early days. Lots of bands have gotten played on past anniv shows so no Gang of 4, Dictators, etc. but plenty on tap. Hope you can tune in this Thurs 1/30 from 10-noon, 88.1 WMBR.org (archives up for 2 weeks). (Wish I’d brought my instamatic during all those in between years). 1-3) pre show in-stores at New England Music City conveniently located below my apartment, 4) with @danielashofficial in 2002 and at @stompboxboston The Zulus and MC50, 5) @girlschoolofficial in 2024 but not quite like the first time in town, 6) @airbourne 7) before late nite food w Leonard from @the_dickies_official 8) the awesome Chris Doherty benefit 9) words of wisdom from Springa 10) Jerry’s Kids scorcher 11) amazing Outlets set 12) a few old fliers 13) @thedamnedofficial in 2017
