Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 12, 2003 That's Poppin' Fresh and the Biscuiteers again. That was the hit that propelled their brief comeback in the mid 70s, which was sadly derailed when drummer Doughboy McPie died of a heroin overdose in Paris.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Do you think Poppin' Fresh would've gotten more recognition from the indie scene had Doughboy's replacement not been former glam studio specialist Yeasty Baker? Well, it's hard to say. I think a large portion of the problem was their inability to branch out into new directions. "You and I" was a good start, but by their next album they were back treading familiar territory again. For all its merits, I think it's pretty obvious that "Love Rollin' (Love On A Roll)" is just a stale retread of "The Love Roll," but twenty years removed from the dance craze mindset that made Poppin' Fresh a household name in the first place. Hiring studio musicians was damning evidence of Poppin's dearth of inspiration, but the final straw for me was his tepid contribution to the Keebler Elves' debut platter, We Make Cookies. I've never been so insulted as a fan as I was sitting through the ten and a half excruciating minutes of "Let's Make Love (In A Roll)." That was it for me.

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Kinetic, how dare you forget Poppin' Fresh's 1985 journey into the realm of thrash metal with the band Cutting Board, which also featured Sal Ommy of Nu Deli fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 13, 2003 I'd rather forget it. That was during what Poppin' now refers to as his "lost weekend," which was actually about fifteen years of poor decisions and ill-conceived genre exercises by a man whose drug addictions and expanding girth had finally gotten the better of him. I would rather he never release another record, at this point. With 2/3 of the original Biscuiteers being dead, it feels like a cheapening of their legacy every time Poppin' squeezes a new crop of increasingly mundane songs from the tube.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 13, 2003 What's Chuck Biscuit, formerly of every punk band ever including the Misfits and Dead Kennedys doing right now? He'd be a pretty decent replacement for Doughboy, I think. With the recent deaths of Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone, not to mention the faux-punk image of Avril Lavigne, I think the nation could use a little punk in their system right now. Would you be disappointed to see Poppin' really get daring like that? By the way, I heard he got on some low fat program, and has lost an amazing amount of weight. In fact, Flour Power, a fan zine of the band said that his family members sometimes mistake him for a baguette. That's not to say he's been getting into any French subculture or anything, just that he's trimmed down surprisingly well, and has almost developed a golden brown crust due to hitting the beach with Pecan Sandie, who I believe he met during that whole Keebler debacle. Word is the two are pretty serious, even if it does cost him some indie cred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Poppin' Fresh being concerned about indie cred is a misnomer. He is and always was a commercial artist. His late 60s work in the Exploding Plastic Inevitable--cut emphatically short when Andy Warhol attempted to eat him--was more a byproduct of excessive drug use than anything else. Even during that period, when his art was being taken to exciting new places, he still couldn't shake the ghosts of his past. The period between 1967 and 1970 saw the addition of no fewer than fifteen "Love Roll" knockoffs into the man's canon, including "Psychedelic Roll," "Love Roll '68 (Ride a Pony), "A Roll Filled With Drugs," and "Peace is a Roll." So these latest developments don't surprise me at all: Poppin' Fresh is a cog in the corporate record culture. That he launched an enormous dance craze in the late 50s and was indirectly responsible for the death of the first Dick Clark just makes him a better known cog than most.

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Hey, Kin, is it true that Poppin' has recently signed stoner rockers Munchie McFive to his new label, Papa Poppin Music, as well as Guitar God Egg Phil Young? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 14, 2003 It could very well be. Poppin' Fresh does a lot of things these days, as a sort of futile gesture at raging against the dying of the light. Now well into his late sixties, he is a but a cookie that's been inadvertantly dropped on the floor...and his five seconds are nearly up. I'd hate to think that he'd sign that pompous ass Egg Phil Young to his label, though. With all his boasting, you'd think the wafer-thin Over Easy was half the album that his 1979 debut, Scrambled and I Don't Know Why is. He hasn't had a decent album since the Carter administration and yet he commands all this respect? Fuck that guy. The Egg Youngins haven't been worth a damn since Bagel Lee Sloth left the band, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 14, 2003 But hey, you have to admit that EPY's 1986 album, The Chopstick Symphony, isn't anything BUT genius. From the opening track, "Ho Sung Pow," to the closing track, "Hunan Panda," it's all pure guitar-driven madness. Best guitarist this side of Steve Vai, which definitely helps lend to his arrogance. Oh well. As long as Poppin' Fresh doesn't get his fat cholesterol-laden hands on Boston hardcore band Potato Famine, I'm fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
