In a feeble attempt to combat my constant homesickness, I compile tales of New York City rock & roll landmarks, most of 'em long gone. Moronic musings on various other enthusiasms are also thrown in for good measure.

1976 Ads: Other Venues and Miscellany, Part 1
1/12/76 issue (previous week's ish was missing):
| "Scoop" gossip column excerpts. |
| First Tramps ad I've found. So far they've only been for cabaret acts but I'm collecting them anyway. |
1/19/76 issue:
| "Scoop" excerpt. Sounds like a potential Altamont II to me--thank goodness it was a hoax. |
| More from "Scoop." |
| "Centerfold" section excerpt. |
1/26/76 issue:
| Did they ever have bands here, or just bewbies? I seem to recall it mentioned as a rock club in a book or article somewhere, but so far the ads I've found for it only extol its titty-bar virtues. |
| Illustrations from a Christgau piece on the "rock-crit establishment." |
2/2/76 issue:
| Speaking of fanboys...I wonder if this article was reporting on the earliest known Trek-specific convention. |
2/9/76 issue:
| At first I thought the name of this store was "Bull," but as you'll see below I was mistaken. |
| "Scoops" excerpt. |
2/16/76 issue:
| "Scenes" excerpt. |
| "Scoops" excerpt. |
2/23/76 issue:
Reviews, articles, etc.:
1/12/76: "Why They Hate the Village Gate" by Denis Hamill--a report on an attempt to shut it down.
2/9/76: Emmylou Harris feature by Geoffrey Stokes
2/16/76: "Kitsch Me Deadly" by Frank Rose--discusses KISS, Grand Funk Railroad, BTO, and ZZ Top.
2/23/76 "Scoop" column has an item entitled "Bowie Accused of Breach of Concept"...kinda reminds me of Bongwater's "David Bowie Needs Ideas." Also, "Riffs" has a great R. Meltzer review of Redd Foxx's "You Gotta Wash Your Ass."
