Newt Gingrich New York Post piece with TMJ reference

2010-08-22T20:23:00.000-07:00

I found this piece about Newt Gingrich and Al Franken in a Summer 1996 issue of the New York Post. This was perhaps one of maybe a dozen times in ever buying this newspaper.
Apparently, according to the NY Post, TMJ is Newt Gingrich's favorite music (even beyond "Theme Song"). If memory serves correct the only thing accompanying this were blotchy black and white newspaper-print photos of Al and Newt.

I took about thirty photos of the band at this show. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed that afternoon and was heavily under the influence of Vicodin that night. I figured I wouldn't remember any of the show - so I should take a few photos.

Tim wore his red pants. The band completely flat-out rocked. It was a wonderful show.

2010-02-16T12:08:00.000-08:00

Joybuzzer was a great zine run by Clive Young, Dave Streich and S. Scott Lessig. It featured discography updates, news, creative editorials, fan letters and answers and the like. I'll be uploading some (if not all) of the issues on here. However some of these will be edited (i.e. published fan letters with names and addresses) but most will be brought to you as they were. Enjoy.

Coney Island High ...finally Record Release Show 3/4/96

2010-01-26T02:36:00.000-08:00

This was the record release show/party for ...finally. It was a great show and everyone was in very high spirits. If I remember correctly it was in the smaller room on the first floor. There was talk of some supposed local TV News being there (I think it was supposed to have been WWOR-TV Channel 9). But there were no such people there. The band played songs from the album ("Skyline", "How To Be Happy", etc) that were to be performed less and less over the coming months. The band had recently been interviewed on WDRE-FM and were enjoying a brief spell of some well-deserved publicity. They played NY about six more times that year.

This was the only time I ever saw the band billed under the "Discovery Records Presents/Recording Artists" banner.

Joybuzzer Subscription Order Form!

2010-01-25T12:13:00.001-08:00

This was the subscription order-form for the official TMJ fanclub, Joybuzzer. It was seriously very well-produced, well-written and was actually a good read.
Note: the appropriate section was filled-out and sent to the appropriate party a long time ago.

Map Like Mine

2010-01-25T11:55:00.000-08:00

This was sent out in issue # nine of Joybuzzer. So the idea behind this was that there was overlap of multiple maps so that various members would get the same map (i.e. a "map like mine"). Which was a clever and very cool, if cute, idea. Since it's one of my very favorite TMJ songs - and the namesake of this site - I figured I'd include the actual map that I received. This appears to be a map of Tunisia.

Irving Plaza 4/21/95 opening for The Rake's Progress

2010-01-25T11:40:00.000-08:00

This was during the band's unsigned period. It was a pretty groovy performance opening for a significantly lesser band. Aside from some dude who hopped on the stage and quickly dry-humped Tim (really), the band didn't get much of reaction. The crowd was largely there to see headliners The Rake's Progress. Who, by the way were very-nearly a forth-rate smirky version of TMJ, but not quite. Better times were just around the corner for TMJ though.

The Mercury Lounge 2/22/95

2010-01-25T11:28:00.000-08:00

Probably the only (other) time I ever got a physical ticket for a TMJ show. This was fantastic show, if recall rightly. It was during the band's lean years and they were looking for a contract. I'm fairly certain that this was Tim's birthday.

A wonderfully informed seven-page band interview with TMJ fan Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller. Possibly (probably) the largest article/interview/piece on the band ever published. Again, this was photocopied as I came into TMJ full-on after Cereal Killers had come and gone, promotionally speaking. And copies of the late, great Reflex Magazine were always on the scarce-side.

Being a general record geek I always used to stop and look at such things. For whatever reason (oh yeah...TMJ fanboy) I kept this from a catalog because they used the out-of-print Cereal Killers in their ad for a crappy clock radio.

Enjoy.

TMJ CD Section Placecard Holder (or something)

2010-01-25T03:52:00.000-08:00

In the mid 1990's I knew a girl who worked at Tower Records. I also knew that all they had to do was print up another label and stick it on a plastic card, like so. So I asked her for TMJ's section placecard holder. After all, their Giant albums were out of print at the time. "Sure", was her reply without even so much as looking. And into a folder it went, and remained. And this my friends is fanboy-dom at it's least logical.

2010-01-25T03:33:00.001-08:00

A Receipt! Hooray!

On the day of ...finally's release I went to the same record store where I purchased Mutiny (in longbox to boot), Tower Records. They didn't have it. Being vaguely familiar with Tower's QC policies (or lack thereof) I asked if they wouldn't mind checking the back to see if they failed to actively put it out. Turns out Discovery were late in sending it to one of the then-largest record stores in the United States. Way to go Discovery! Soundscan purchase be damned! So I bought it at only place who did get it in that day, the now-defunct Slipped Disc Records in Valley Stream, NY.

Gods & Sods CD Purchase Reciept

2010-01-25T02:42:00.000-08:00

Wow, I saved everything! Fanboy, fanboy, fanboy! Well, obviously I purchased this at the Virgin Megastore at Union Square on the date the album was released (apparently along with the first T.Rex album 'My People Were Fair With Sky In Their Hair...'). I loved the album and thought - given the tracks that were relegated as outtakes - that a third-party should have picked the band's album tracks. How could songs like "Hello Love Tractor (Too True To Be Beautiful)", "Gods Make Love" or "A Texas Sunday" (which could've easily replaced a variety of songs on ...finally) evade their obvious place on TMJ albums while "Just Like A Man" and "Underneath A Jersey Sky" questionably appeared on albums for sake of diversity? Such is the silly voting-process that bands subject themselves - and ultimately, their fans - to. So many initially questionable outtakes however did make for an albeit disparate but fine collection of songs. If memory serves correctly I was really looking forward to a tour in support of this fine album. Or...one show in Ohio. Well, unfortunately neither one ever materialized. But, being an XTC fan I knew perfectly well how to make do with an album, alone. Without tour.

2010-01-24T11:03:00.000-08:00

I'm pretty sure this was a gift for subscribing to Clive Young's fantastic Joybuzzer zine. In addition to this there was also a mustard yellow firecracker sticker, a membership card and a white firecracker button/badge.

Somehow (luck?, I asked Clive?) I managed to get two of these sweet stickers. The other one resides on the hard shell guitar case for my 1978 Fender Telecaster.

Joybuzzer Issue Three Interview

2009-07-22T02:26:00.001-07:00

This is an interview with the band on the Forever In Your Face Tour, January, 1993 that appeared in Joybuzzer Issue Three.
Although the zine always got tons of soundbites and firsthand information from the band on various things, strangely, this was the only interview done with the band for the zine. Note: Tommy's Joybuzzer T-Shirt and Tim's Mutiny shirt.

2009-07-22T02:23:00.000-07:00

Here's my very own Joybuzzer ID Card. Joybuzzer was the official TMJ

Video Pass: The Bayou, Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Finally Tour 9/13/96

2009-07-19T00:45:00.000-07:00

This is a video pass for a show that I filmed on TMJ's Finally Tour. Which I'm guessing was required (at least legally or without hassle) to film a performance at The Bayou. The opening band at this particular show was Jesse Taylor Is Dead - a band whose debut album William Wittman produced (at Pie Studios where TMJ also recorded Finally). Coincidentally, Jesse Taylor Is Dead also featured Mike Cronin on bass who was a then-bandmate of mine.

Although TMJ were from NY they never really seemed to enjoy playing there quite so much (especially Jay). This could be because they hated playing at home, or, because their biggest fan-base was in the D.C. area thanks to the amount of airplay the band had received on WHFS-FM from 1989-1993. According to Joybuzzer TMJ were they only band to play the WHFStival twice. Although the program director at the time (onetime WLIR-FM D.J. Bob Waugh) refused to add Finally to the station's playlist - the place was still packed on this night.

I'd seen shows (on VHS, that is) filmed from the balcony at this venue from the Mutiny Tour '92 and the Forever In Your Face Tour '93 - so I did the same. The show was very good and the results were pretty good. In fact, of all my submissions to Tim for the Dante's Disco Inferno home video he chose to use a few things from this performance ("Weak", "Train In Vain", "Let It Be" and "Gramatan").

Wow, three paragraphs dedicated to one sticker. Amazing.

In Perpetuity (1993)

2009-07-15T20:03:00.000-07:00

This, according to Joybuzzer, was released to radio on February 9, 1993. Had Giant Records chosen to invest in the music video that the band already shot, would have (at very least) been a minor hit. The Forever In Your Face Tour in 1993 was in support of this single. There was no front or back cover art so this is all you get. I love that it gives the proper pronunciation and definition of "perpetuity" on the CD itself.

Live At The Malibu, Lido Beach, NY 2/29/96

2009-07-15T19:35:00.000-07:00

TMJ played a WDRE-FM sponsored free show at The Malibu Night Club on Lido Beach, NY on Leap Day 1996. I hung out at the bar with Tommy before the show for a bit and he bought a few cans of Fosters. I recall him being pretty excited about the show. The headlining band was to Spacehog but they canceled, so TMJ were the default headliners. The show was great and TMJ really rose to the occasion. Of the two-dozen or so times I've seen TMJ I only actually ever got a physical ticket maybe two-times. This was one of them.

The review and photos are from Mixx Magazine Issue #58 Volume #8.

Perhaps not worthy of my triple exclamation points, but still funny nonetheless. I think this popped up in the Finally liner notes. Actually Liz, "Stay At Home" sounds like The Cars (or whomever Roy Thomas Baker applied his multi-tracking vocal technique to that week). But yes, we both agree that Tommy Vinton is TMJ's secret weapon.

Donna Everywhere (1992)

2009-07-13T02:27:00.001-07:00

This was the quintessential TMJ single, which also means it wasn't a tremendous hit but should have been. An absolute power pop masterpiece of the 1990's. The video was actually very good (and directed by Teller of Penn & Teller). I still remember WDRE-FM playing this seemingly non-stop in August of 1992. Ah, the Summer of '92.

The Cereal Killers poster had an ideal combination of all of these and was/is very nice indeed.

The Finally Press Kit

2009-07-13T00:22:00.001-07:00

Okay, so I actually did write for a local zine with a few like minded friends called The Inferno. I called Discovery Records publicity department and was sent the press kit for ...finally. Which included two photos, a bio and the advance CD - which had some alternate phone operator ending on "You Will" that changed before the released version (the song about AT&T couldn't use an AT&T operator - oh, the irony!). Well I never ended up reviewing the album for whatever reason. But here's the press kit.

Crush Story (1991)

2009-07-13T00:05:00.001-07:00

If there was ever one song that TMJ did that out and out deserved to be a hit, it was "Crush Story". Sure the intro rips off The Clash's "I'm Not Down" but the song itself is every bit TMJ. MTV was very influential at this time and the music video is a bit schizophrenic. The band visuals actually suit the music perfectly, however the video itself simply looks very inexpensive-looking (which surely did not help its cause). Everything else does not suit the music perfectly: the models, the lizards and the old men are all from somewhere else. The intentionally campy feel has nothing to do with the quality of this song. But also surprising was how radio never picked up on an obvious (and easy-to-digest) winner. Even WDRE-FM underplayed this song. A classic. And they even recycled the chords for "Long Haired Guys From England" - how thoughtful!

2009-07-12T03:19:00.000-07:00

I saw TMJ at CBGB's the night of the Shimmy-Disc/Kramer benefit show. The venue was pretty empty, Jay was under-the-weather, Bill was still very new in the band and Tim was very loose. It was still a very enjoyable show. They played a few new songs - "Half Life", "A Texas Sunday", "I'm Your Wallet" and a song that bore more than a passing resemblance to The Kings' "Switchin' To Glide" - "Weak". I was able to obtain a soundboard copy of the show from a fan who got my attention as I filmed it. Granted I drank a bit too much, which affected my filming technique, as the band went on later than I'd anticipated.

Regardless, it's still one of my favorite TMJ concert experiences.

The photo of Bill, Tim & Penn Jillette performing the Bongos, Bass, & Bob hit "Clothes Of The Dead" was swiped from Joybuzzer (issue #7) and was taken by Emily Cameron. Pulse! Magazine (top), Good Times Newspaper (middle) and a listing for the show.

The Knitting Factory, NY, NY 5/4/07

2009-07-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

It had been over ten-years since TMJ played NYC (not counting them as The Good Books). The last time they had played NY was in Spring of 1997 at Coney Island High. They opted to not to play NYC on the Crack Is Back tour that September as The Mekons were playing the night they would've booked a show, so they opted not to play NY and see the Mekons instead(!). Nor did a tour - or show - materialize for Gods & Sods either. So Tommy Vinton's retirement from the NYPD made for a perfect excuse to play again. Although they didn't play personal favorites like "Making Fun Of Buns" nor did they play "Starry Eyes", they did play such rare-items like "Map Like Mine" and lyrically-abundant "My Past Lives". It was a great show indeed.

Here's The Village Voice listing of the show.

2009-07-11T21:44:00.000-07:00

These are T-Shirt order forms that I believe came with issue two of Joybuzzer. Or not. And the bottom one is from the Green Eggs & Crack CD release. Exciting stuff, eh? Granted, unlike very many other bands TMJ had the rare distinction of having genuinely funny, cool and wearable T-Shirts. These order forms are actually pretty funny as far as these things go. There's also a letter from Tim circa 1996. I kinda lived in Too Much Joy T-Shirts throughout the 1990's. Since Tim was the T-Shirt guy of the band I had lots of interaction with him as a result. He even called my house at one point regarding an order. Exciting stuff for a seventeen year-old. I had all of these shirts at various times except for the black Mutiny shirt, the stamped-Mutiny shirt, the colored SOSIA shirt, and the Forever In Your Face shirt. I believe I wore the Cereal Killer The Scream Trix bunny T-shirt the least (for starters it was white and did not seem to reflect band sentiment at all). Followed closely by the Finally shirt, which was a bit impractical and, also...it was white.

It doesn't get more exciting than T-Shirt order forms.

Too Much Joy as The Good Books as The Its

2009-07-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

In Spring of 1998 on a Friday night I was, of all crazy coincidences, bar-hopping with a few friends. Well, after several beers, we decided - on a whim - to end the night in considerable style at a local dive in our neighborhood called Fuzzy's. Fuzzy's is a dumpy biker bar with zero beer selection that we rarely ever went to in our hometown of Bellerose on Long Island, NY - so it was strange that we would choose this night of all nights to go there. We arrived shortly after 12:30 AM and there was still some stray gear in the back of the bar. I asked the bartender who played there that night. He pointed to the flyer posted above. My jaw dropped. I showed the flyer to my friends. Their jaws proceed to drop. Talk about bad luck. Too Much Joy - under their slightly more Power Pop persona The Good Books, later known as The It's - had just played there a few hours before. Ugh! All we could bring ourselves to do was proceed in drinking more beer. What were the chances that TMJ were to play in my small sleepy town a dozen or so miles from Manhattan? Talk about random. They opened for a former-police officer friend of Tommy's whom Tommy had played with in the mid 90's band Artists In Embryo. So it was cop-band night at Fuzzy's but all was left was this poorly-produced flyer.

A few weeks later The Good Books played at CD Warehouse in Huntington on Long Island (now known as CD Island). CD Warehouse (now CD Island) is owned by fellow TMJ fan Doug Mashkow. In fact it was Doug who introduced me to TMJ. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this show either. But, again, here's the flyer.

The Lion's Den, NY, NY November 4, 1993

2009-07-11T03:54:00.000-07:00

This is a listing for one of the first TMJ shows I ever attended (I think it was my third). They had only just been dropped by Giant and this show was during the CMJ New Music Festival. It was a great, if brief show. Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller was to my immediate right, pogo-ing up and down the whole night. They performed a speedy cover of Tom Waits' "I Don't Want To Grow Up" (before The Ramones did) and the then-newish "Secret Handshake". I was seventeen and it was a school night.

Swiped after a sweaty TMJ set by the ever-resourceful fanboy. In the thick of their 1996 ...finally Tour.

Starry Eyes (1992)

2009-07-11T03:40:00.001-07:00

This single was released to radio in November of 1992. TMJ's use "Starry Eyes" was a great use of someone else's song and their verses fit just fine. If there was ever a head-scratcher as to why a certain B-Side was omitted from the final track sequence of an album - in this case Mutiny - and yet others made the cut, "No On Can Be That Stupid" is that B-Side. A blissfully perfect Power Pop confection.

Poison Your Mind (1996)

2009-07-11T03:38:00.001-07:00

This CD promo was released to radio in Spring of 1996. I heard it played only once on WDRE-FM. It was on the day of the Leap Day show in 1996 (and TMJ were there in the studio).

The Kids Don't Understand Single (1996)

2009-07-11T03:35:00.000-07:00

This was released on January 23, 1996. The biggest mistake that Discovery Records/TMJ made was not bothering to shoot a video for this song. Big mistake.
