Flamin' Groovies - Yes I Am (1979)

Jumpin' in the Night in my least favorite of the three late 70s Sire LPs - as much as I love the Byrds, three covers is too many. Still the title track is very strong, and the Cyril Jordan/Chris Wilson tracks (like this one) are also very good.

The Flamin' Groovies - Slow Death

[weneverlearn]

This is a post -- above der! -- from the brain-boggling blog of the one and only Miriam Linna -- she of the Flamin' Groovies Fanclub prez, Norton Records, Kicks Books, the A-Bones, first Cramps drummer, and on and on...

She periodically posts incredible memories and some ephemera from her wild time as a Euro-transplant dropped into Cleveland right when that town was creating punk; then made her way to NYC right as "official history" was writing that genre's birth notes, and off into her position as garage trash prime-mover-rama-lama!

I've known her for years, great gal, fun storyteller, and yet there is always another tale that comes up -- like this amazing little nugget about folding the sleeves for the first Pere Ubu 45, including a letter from WE NEVER LEARN's Zeus, Peter Laughner -- that you think, "How in the hell did this never come up in conversation before?!"

Miriam says she's working on a book or some such artifact for us all to salivate over someday, but until then, check out her Kicksville 66 blog, and always keep an eye out for another Norton sale, as I believe she is winding the label down...

Here's a recent interview below, from a bofo upstate NY fest I wish I coulda made:
