We sold out of Roter videos but we'll make some more I guess because there
are orders. But we're expecting to send out PoW orders next week as soon as
possible. As usual we've had delays getting stuff from the pressing plant and
they forgot things that had to be included so now it's next week. We're doing
a small run of Roter vids as well to cover immediate demand within the week.
Personally I'm ready to start working on some new tunes. Not to
say that PoW isn't great, listening to it compared to our other albums I'd
have to say that to my ear it is by far our best sounding album. It even
sounds a little commercial despite the fact that that was the last thing on
our minds when we recorded it. I'm really curious to know what you'all think
when you get to hear it.

tBS practice went great. Sounded pretty good considering. Some may even say
it was an improvement this new cruder sound (others might just attribute to
rust) but we all had a gas. We only played the new stuff. Looking forward
again to next week.

 the lyrics of Queens Boulevard...an Underbelly
tune (words by Sandy Pearlman - about Meltzer, and music - though you can't
hear it - by Donald and Albert)......

Queens Boulevard

El Patio's the place
the place is no waste
and down to El Patio on Queens Boulevard
I see the queen of heaven Mother Mary
on the gates of Calvery Cemetary
Position's just like plastic Mary of that famous song
the Queen - also seen by Suzy
but being Jewish and knowing movies
Suzy thinks horse
cannot figure Mary
from the gates of Cavelry Cemetary

and cross country - another place
Brown haired man from his place on the floor
inclines his head as if to speak to the lady who was his wife

At one time there were three Flieschman's Motorcycle shops.
One in Bayside one Flushing one on Queens Boulevard
but along came your new Suzukis and old Indians
and those bikes just sat
waiting to be bought

And Old Man Fleischman closed up his shop
on Queens Boulevard

and cross country - another place
Brown haired man from his place on the floor
inclines his head as if to speak to the lady who was his wife

So early one morning
early one day
we drove off to Queens Boulevard
Meltzer and me
in a little open car
to paint the queen of the Fauves
she'd had sixten guys in two hours
each one many times
being a real queen -
as she was

and cross country - another place
Brown haired man from his place on the floor
inclines his head as if to speak to the lady who was his wife
