hey...

please Please PLEASE take a minute to read this:

i made a stupid video for an IFC contest to win a free trip to
Australia, and it actually made it to the finals.
i never ask these sorts of things, but there were so few qualifying
entries that i think i could actually win if i get enough peeps to
vote for my video.

so, if you could go to IFC's web site, register, and give my video 5
stars, that would rule!
(if you do this, just click on the 5th star - don't click the left
one and try to drag the cursor right)

vote here:

it's been so long since the last update!
TQR&R has a few new releases (and some upcoming
projects) that we think you just might dig...


LEARNING HOW TO FAIL by LISA MARR
DVD-r with bonus CD-r
TQR&R 016

Lisa Marr (you may know her as the lady from CUB,
BUCK, THE BEARDS, THE LISA MARR EXPERIMENT) has a
new dvd which "officially" comes out in
september, but it is now available from TQR&R and
directly from her! more about the dvd:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Marr was a disillusioned musician. After
riding the indie music wave as the singer/bass
player for Canadian cuddle-core darlings Cub, she
moved to Los Angeles seeking fortune and fame but
in the fall of 2003, things weren't going so
well. Her latest band, The Lisa Marr Experiment,
just had its American tour canceled and the
future seemed uncertain. Suddenly she had a lot
of time on her hands and a lot of confusion in
her head. So she grabbed a beat-up guitar and a
video camera and headed out alone across the US
in her '88 Toyota Corolla hatchback looking for
the answer to one simple question: What is the
definition of success?
Marr performed impromptu shows in public places
(tourist traps, truck stops, parks, laundromats,
street corners, shopping centers, bowling
alleysŠ), using her songs as conduits for
interactions with random passersby who took a
moment of their day to stop, look, listen and
enter into the ongoing discussion about the
meaning of success in America in the 21st century.
Learning How To Fail, Marr's first short feature
film, is a document of this journey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

the dvd also comes with a bonus cd of her
performance at the Skrockin' Yer Butow radio show.
they'll be available from her site
(http://lisamarr.org/ ) after she gets back from
touring europe sometime in mid-august. and they
are of course available right now - as are mp3 &
video samples - from Top Quality Rock & Roll
(http://topqualityrockandroll.com/).




EARLY RECORDINGS by THE BIRTHDAY MACHINE
Enhanced Double 3" CD-r set
TQR&R 015

The Birthday Machine has broken up.
This saddens us here at TQR&R, however, we were
able to convince the band to let us release a few
of their earlier recording in the name of
prosperity.

Packaged in a darling little double mini CD-r
set, you get five tracks and a QuickTime video of
Closet Superhero, a song from their first (and
only) 7".

mp3 & video samples at http://topqualityrockandroll.com/




USED WITHOUT PERMISSION by Frankie & The S.E.M.M.
Double CD-r set
TQR&R 017

Frankie & The S.E.M.M. is TQR&R's experimental/noise "house band".
This latest release offers two 74min discs, each featuring found sound.
One of the discs features all the tracks from the
now defunct psycho ex-girlfriend web site, and
the other disc utilizes the soundtrack from a
promotional medical 16mm film that's soundtrack
got totally f'd up during a conversion to dvd.

mp3 samples naturally available at http://topqualityrockandroll.com/




and in the works for late summer/early fall...

THE TREMBLING has been working on a new full
length cd, which will be co-released with Boy Arm
Records (http://www.boyarm.com/).
visit The Trembling at http://thetrembling.com/
and/or take a peek at their first CDEP, Seduce
The Government at:

Dearborn/Detroit's 89.3 WHFR.fm (http://whfr.fm/)

of local noise/experimental/electronic/space-rock
artists from Detroit and all around Michigan.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS...

89.3fm WHFR Radio is releasing a CD to support local experimental/noise/electronic/space rock artists, and we are currently accepting submissions from local artists (local being defined as any bands/artists from Michigan).
the CD is being produced by Scott Boatright (host of Brain Ticket Death) and myself (host of Skrockin' Yer Butow...), and will hopefully be out this fall. it will be a four disc set (three 'real' CDs and a bonus DVD-r) released on Top Quality Rock & Roll...

participants currently include:
Rattling Wall Collective in Dutch
Andrew Coltrane
PBK
Matt Borghi
Cotton Museum
Black Sand Desert
Allan Bryant (from 60's MEV (Music Electronic Viva)
Paik
Eric Cook/Ben Bracken
Will Soderberg
Windy and Carl
Frankie & The S.E.M.M.
Rough Muffin
Metal Dungeon
Little Princess
Wolf Eyes


while releasing a three CD set allows for a good number of tracks, please keep in mind that we may not be able to include all submissions if we run out of time/space on the release. the sooner you get a track to us, the better the chances of the track making it to the CD.

for tracks that do get used, the artists of course retains all rights to their tracks, and we only ask that the track is not released anywhere else for at least a year after the WHFR CD comes out.


if you would like to submit a track for possible inclusion, please feel free to email myself or scott with any questions:

hey everyone,

it's been a while, but i thought i'd let you know about the Patty Duke Biography which will be on A&E this wednesday at 8:00.

True story: many items from TQR&R's Patty Duke Fanzine collection were used in the production... (and a Patty Duke Doll Set was sacrificed during the making of this show!!!)


in rock and roll news...

for anyone who digs Lisa Marr, there'll be a special broadcast of her visit to WHFR for a Skrockin' Yer Butow recording session.

she stopped by back in november, while touring the country singing and playing guitar in odd places such as truck stops and old man bars. we recorded a few songs in the studio and did a little interview.

the recording will be broadcast this friday, December 19th, on Skrockin' Yer Butow, which is from 9 - Midnite on WHFR 89.3fm in dearborn/detroit (eastern time zone).

if you are out of our broadcast area, you can listen on the web at http://whfr.fm/

TQR&R's latest release is a lovely, quaint 7" record by The Birthday Machine.

For fans of Ida, Bedhead, Versus and charming indie rawk...

Available for download at http://topqualityrockandroll.com : an mp3 of a demo recording from the record, and press info such as high res. band photos, 7" cover art, and drawings...


The release date is October 30, 2002, but the record is currently available only through Top Quality Rock & Roll (http://topqualityrockandroll.com ) and Stormy Records (http://www.stormyrecords.com). Limited green vinyl pressings available only through TQR&R and Stormy while supplies last...



The Birthday Machine live in Vancouver, Canada. They met each other on the street because they
were attracted to each other's good looks. The band was formed in 1999 or so. They have a history
of baking cakes together and having group hugs. They sound like Ida or Bedhead or Versus, if you
insist on an indie-rock comparison, but more often, they sound like their current or former bands
Gaze, The Beans, and The Secret Three. They do not sound like The Melvins, Daft Punk, or Sleater-
Kinney, although some of The Birthday Machine's members will attest to enjoying those bands.
This is The Birthday Machine's first 7". We hope that you like it.

Miko Hoffman, guitar, vocals; Stefan Udell, guitar, vocals; Brady Cranfield, drums; Scott Malin, bass; Christa Min, guitar, keyboards

hey there!

it's been such a long time since TQR&R's last update, that you
probably forgot that yer on this list!
here's the news:


	 : : : : D E L T A   W A V E S : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

TQR&R just released a new cd by detroit space rockers Delta Waves.
it's a split label release with Burnt Hair Records entitled, "the
Delta Waves dream in real time"

there's more on the cd at http://topqualityrockandroll.com & here's a review:


The Delta Waves-Dream in Real Time CD
The Delta Waves music tends to come from a dream perspective with
reverb drenched guitars and ambient soundscapes. The percussion
delivers many different styles from techno to breakbeat to addictive
acoustic beats. The Delta Waves like to make instrumental music as
well as songs with vocals. Vocals are usually subtle and although
they add a strong presence to the song they are almost hauntingly
used as an instrument. The Delta Waves explain their music as
soundtracks to dreams (or daydreams). The music is sometimes trancy
and hypnotizing. They achieve a wide and dynamic sound through soft
distortion and analog synth. Each song usually holds some form of
contrast that slips into the listener's ears almost subconsciously.
It is escapist music that is original and refreshing. For fans of
FSA, Seefeel, Windy & Carl, Slowdive.

Did you know that The Hissyfits have a new line-up? There's a new
photo and updated press release available for download on the "Press
Pix / Info" page at http://topqualityrockandroll.com

The Hissyfits got big things going on... check 'em out at
http://www.hissyfits.com/ and catch one of their upcoming shows if
you can:

Wednesday May 29, 2002 -- 9:30pm

"Williamsburg Wednesday" Kickoff!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday June 28, 2002 -- 10:30pm

don't miss it!!!)
with THE BRIEFS!!!


Speaking of The Hissyfits, were you aware that they cover "Say
Something Funny" on the latest Patty Duke Fanzine?

Well, if you want to see Patty performing the original, TQR&R just
got a copy of Patty singing on the Shindig show!  The MPEG file is on
the "Audio/Video" page at http://topqualityrockandroll.com (it's a
kinda big file - 25.5MB - but worth the wait!)




	 : : : : T H E   B I R T H D A Y   M A C H I N E : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : :

Things are underway for this upcoming 7" release.
The artwork is in & the songs are just about done being mastered, so
we'll be sending everything of to the pressing plant by the end of
this month (hopefully).

The Birthday Machine features:
Miko Hoffman - formerly of gaze who had two cds put out by k records,
Stefan Udell currently in The Beans (Zum Media), Brady Cranfield from
The Secret Three, & Christa Min.

Sound intriguing? Want to hear 'em? Download a Birthday Machine mp3
at http://topqualityrockandroll.com (and see some live pix too...)




There are some other fun and exciting things going on, but we'll save
that for another day...
Thanx for putting up with TQR&R.

it's been a while since my last email, and since today is patty duke's birthday, i figured i'd use that as my excuse for buggin' ya this time.

there's been some moving going on at TQR&R, so there's haven't been as many updates to the web site as their should be. here are a few things in the works that are almost as exciting as Patty Duke's Birthday!....



1. ------------ PDFZ #4: Patty's Favorite Boy Bands ------------

two out of the four boy bands participating in the next PDFZ have their songs in, and we're hoping for an early 2002 release date. it will feature...

        delta waves (from detroit)
        w-vibe (also from detroit)
        panixville (from chicago)
        mark robinson (yes! you read right! THE mark robinson from Teen Beat!!!)



2. ------------ The Hissyfits ------------

they have a new line up, are getting lots of press (can you name another bands who's been in everything from Maximumrocknroll to 17 Magazine to Postcard Collector? --- i didn't think so!)
if you do a zine or write for a publication/web site/whatever and would like to interview them, send 'em an email!

also, for those of you in nyc, they're playin' a gig:

*Come celebrate the holidays with The Hissyfits!*
Plus!...Radio 4, The Realistics, and Team USA!
Next Saturday 12/22 at Brownie's (Ave. A. b/w 10th & 11th).
We go on at 10pm sharp, but get there early for Team USA,
and stay all night for the rock and the holiday cheer...

Hello!
It's been quite a while since the last posting! Things are starting to happen at TQR&R, so I thought it was a good time for an update...


:::::::::THE HISSYFITS TOUR + CD INFO:::::::::::::::::::::::
The very first (and at this point the only) band signed to TQR&R, THE HISSYFITS will be on tour this summer! The tour starts may 24 in Baltimore, MD, and will take them all across the country 'til June 17th. (Tour dates are listed at the end of this email.)

They'll also be at the LadyFest East Benefit, Sunday, May 20, 2001 at The Knitting Factory in New York City... (oh you lucky New Yorkers you!...)

ALSO, their very first full length cd, Letters From Frank, will hit the store July 4th, but you can get yours earlier directly from the band at one of their live gigs!



:::::::::THE PATTY DUKE FANZINE #3:::::::::::::::::::::::

   Slumber Party - "One Kiss Away"
Tourister - "Funny Little Butterflies"
