I would've loved _Datapanik_ much more if those cheap bastards @ DGC could've split the albums up properly, instead of just smushing everything onto 3 CDs. Have the albums been reissued proper yet? And more info on the folks that populate Disc 5 of the set would be greatly appreciated.

Speaking of people influenced by Scrawl, the new Jenny Toomey record is really really good.

Nitsuh, the only commercially successful 'industrial' acts from here were NIN and Filter -- there certainly wasn't a A&R feeding frenzy (a la Seattle) here after _Pretty Hate Machine_ hit.
Andy, I've had my share of bad Mexican food around here but don't know the German/Mexican place you mention. Name of it?

Mushroomhead (or is it mUshROOmHEaD?) is the biggest band in Cleveland. You may know them from their battle with Slipknot over who invented the new craze for mask-wearing bands.

And then there's WKRP, though that wasn't a band.
Chris -- Coventry Rd. is east side, Parma is west, so probably a different bad Mexican place than Andy found. Can't think of any Mexican places on Coventry except for a taco place, and tacos are usually pretty hard to screw up.

My friend is telling me that John Morton played guitar for some 80's female pop singer ...anybody know the deal?
― Mark Beef, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Specifically - Bizzarros (OK, from Akron) - I thought they were such a cool band - but I don't know anything about them. Where are they now?
Tin Huey - Butler is still releasing albums. I heard a rumor about a Tin Huey Live release.. anyone know anything about it? Ralph Carney is in San Francisco - blowing into things that make sound. Don't know about Harvey Gold.
My Dad is Dead - Moved to North Carolina or somewhere. I think he's working on a new CD though.
Scrawl - I wish they would get a drummer. They don't play out as much as they used to. Although I saw them using the Casio2000 drum machine - and it was pretty cool .. They did a cover of Marianne Faithful's "Broken English."
Early memories of CLE band - Circus (Cirkus?) "Stop Wait and Listen" I haven't heard that song in 25 years. Was it good? I don't remember. (Search or destroy?)
I think my favorite CLE band right now is Cobra Verde. I saw them a few months back - they totally reminded me of the late 70s CLE/glam/punk scene. Actually, they reminded me of listening to "Clevelank Rawks" & "Friday on My Mind" on WMMS every Friday afternoon. But I still like Death of Samantha better.

Does anyone have more specific info? Mark's a great guy, originator of the line: "Why doesn't Frank Kogan shut up and play his guitar?"

Actually, one of my favorite recent bands was Uptown Sinclair (think Cobra Verde, but, well, more fun), but i think they're defunct now. The lead singer is preparing some stuff with one of the guys from Walt Mink, so i guess i'll have to wait for that.
How can a comparable city like Detroit routinely outshine Cleveland?

I used to live by the Beachland- that seems to be the place nowadays.
Haven't been to the new Grog shop.

I guess David Thomas didn't do liner notes for those things (based on that grumpy Tidal interview with him)

Akron is not Cleveland! Next time you're in Cleveland you should visit Akron.

2 albums....Soul Jazz has released two new anthologies of Ohio proto-punk, punk, and post-punk from the late '70s and early '80s: Burn Rubber City, Burn! (centered on Akron) and Extermination Nights in the Sixth City (centered on Cleveland).

Two lost great Cleveland bands: Terrible Parade and Tripod Jimmie. The former st least has a comp with most of their material whereas the latter desperately needs a reissue.
