BRATTLEBORO, VT, September 12 - Every week is different. This week our
FredRemainsLost inbox was full of news e-mails, but surprisingly few of them
carried the sort of information we usually post here. We might have thought
this was another slow news week all around except that things appear to have
been quite busy at Yahoo Music News. So we eventually drifted into "Go Figure"
mode.
.


Special thanks to Therese at Brooks Memorial Library here in Brattleboro,
Vermont. She lined me up with the 1937 edition of "Grove's Dictionary of Music
and Musicians." The American volume, which I am reading now, appears to have
been seriously out of date even in 1937. Many of the articles were copied from
the 1920 set, while other 1920 entries were revised to varying degrees for
publication. Such antique information would be totally useless to a lot of
people, but it is right up my line.

I proudly beat most retro types by over a century.

The Grove banjo article makes for wild reading, while the piece about Native
American music is totally amazing.

TOM HAMBRIDGE AND THE RATTLESNAKES
Mal's Blues and Jazz Lounge
Haverhill, Massachusetts
Saturday, September 12, 2009

SAL BAGLIO OF THE STOMPERS . . sent a terrific announcement about a Tom
Hambridge show in Haverhill, Massachusetts this (Saturday) evening. Some will
remember Hambridge best from his days as the "TH" in the band, TH and the
Wreckage. Others will know him mostly from his work with blueswoman Susan
Tedeschi. With luck, some of our readers will know Tom Hambridge and the
Rattlesnakes, though this group is new to me. The band name, Tom Hambridge and
the Rattlesnakes, previously did not appear in our computer files.

The following, which was sent by Sal Baglio, includes a great deal of
information and is well worth reading:

Tom led his own Boston based band TH & The Wreckage which recorded several
albums and garnered much area success, including winning many Boston Music
Awards.

Tom resides in Nashville, Tennessee. He is a 3-time Grammy nominee and has

At The Blackstone
Pawtucket, Rhode Island
Saturday, September 12, 2009

<> "The Dino Club will be playing at the Blackstone club on Main St in
Pawtucket, Rhode Island tomorrow night starting around 9:45 after which the Kris
Hansen Kollective will close out the night. We're going on early because we
want our friends who don't want to stay out late to come and see us. We can be
very accomodating.

"Hope to see you tomorrow night. We have one more Dino Club show and that's it
for the year so please help us say hello to Autumn."

HOT PROTESTANTS
THE LUXURY
THE NEW COLLISIONS
Downstairs at The Middle East Restaurant
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Thursday, September 24, 2009

<> "We [members of The New Collisions] wanted to inform all you gorgeous fans
out there of a major event coming your way in a few weeks.

"On Thirsty Thursday, September 24, we are throwing a huge BACK2SCHOOL Blowout
with our pop music soulmates THE LUXURY at the Middle East Downstairs.

"$7 with a student I.D., 18+, and yes, you have to [partial expletive used
exhaustively for emphasis] DANCE!

"If you don't know THE LUXURY, they just won the 2009 WBCN Rumble, headlined The
Paradise, and basically took over the Northeast with their new album. Not an
act to be missed, and this show will be a massive, unironical throwdown of epic
pop music and early autumn intensity. Oh hell yeah.

"After a truly insane summer, touring with The B-52s and opening for Blondie, it
is great to be back in Boston, gearing up for a show of this caliber, clout, and
catharsis. No one ever has a better time than us, but we encourage you to come
and try!

"So do yourself a favor, leave your books behind, stomp on your i-pod and come
out for the best night of local music this fall. We'll have our usual explosion
of lights, projection, and pop, and there are few live bands better than The
Luxury.

"Also on the bill are the ridiculously talented Hot Protestants (if you've never
heard their song 'Sad About an Ice Age' do yourself a favor and track these guys
down online) and the wonderful Muy Cansado.

"The Middle East Downstairs is 472 Mass Ave in Cambridge, MA, right off the Red
Line.

"Bring ye yer party shoes."

RIVER GODS
Knickerbocker Cafe
Westerly, Rhode Island
Friday, September 25, 2009

SOURCE: Ellen Giurleo, "Coming Up at the Knickerbocker Cafe in September,"
September 1, 2009.

<> The River Gods is a group name that I have not seen in a very long while. I
even went looking a few months ago. Since we are not on a River Gods mailing
list, we do not know whether these folks are back, like their fellow Nutmegger
Kate Callahan, or we have just been missing their news and events all this time.
Either way, it is great to see that they will be doing what River Gods do at the
Knickerbocker Cafe, which sounds to us like an interesting spot.

G O L I
On the Cover of The Noise

The gals of Goli - the Goli gals - would have us know that

<> "Goli is the front cover of this month's The Noise!!!

"The Noise magazine is one of Boston's esteemed publications of all music
a-rockin' in the local scene. You can pick up The Noise at many local
establishments of rock (think music stores, live music venues, and coffeeshops.)
For a complete list of places to check, go to

http://www.thenoise-boston.com/content/view/14/22/

Inside, you will find an interview with us by Michael Bloom, a wee bit of a live
review and great pics by Amandacera Hannon and Karen Clunes. Also, check out
the retrospective cover from 5 years ago... You might recognize some faces.
Goli would like to thank The Noise's founder TMax for being such an amazing
supporter of the local rock scene. TMax is the best!

"If you can't find The Noise in your area or would like some reading material
for work, you can find it online at

DON WHITE
Compilation CD
"Decade and a Half"?

"The Don White Retrospective CD

<> "I have been recording my own music for 18 years. (Well, actually, 25 years
if you want to include the three pre-CD cassette releases that still
occasionally turn up and shed a very bright light of how far I have come as an
artist. Which is a diplomatic way of saying 'how bad I was in the beginning.'

"Anyway, I have assembled what a more accomplished artist might call 'A Greatest
Hits Album.' For reasons that are screamingly obvious I shan't be calling it
that. Greatest Misses or Nice Tries perhaps.

"Actually, it's been fun to listen again to these recordings and cherry pick the
songs that have stood the test of time and are still requested with some
regularity at my shows.

"So if you are one of the hard core inner sanctum repeat offenders who own all
the cds going back to 1992, you already have all these songs (with the exception
of one yet-to-be-determined previously unrecorded bonus track.) For you this CD
might only be of use as a tool by which to draw in and trap the uninitiated if
it is cleverly disguised as an innocent holiday gift. These are the songs that
made the cut. I expect this to be available in October.

I Know What Love Is - Acoustic Alliance Vol 1 (1993)
Rascal - Live in Michigan (2002)
Be 16 With Me - Live in Michigan (2002)
Psycho Mom and Dad - Live at the Somerville Theatre (1995)
Brown Eyes Shine - Family Man DVD (2008)
Little More Love - Little Niche (2000)
MTV Love Song - Brown Eyes Shine (1999)
Ordinary Women and Men Two Vagabonds in Disguise (1992)
Lijah - Live at the Somerville Theatre (1995)
The Second Chance Crew - Brown Eyes Shine (1999)
Angel in Pieces - Brown Eyes Shine (1999)
Great Day - Rascal (1996)
I'm From Lynn, What Can I Say - Live at the Somerville Theatre (1995)

Bonus Track - Xmas Memories or maybe an acoustic version of something new - not
sure yet - open to suggestions.

BRIAN JONES
Death of a Rolling Stone

<> Last weekend I heard nearly all of the Coast to Coast AM radio broadcast that
had a discussion about the death of Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, but I
still missed this item. It may have been part of the "Crypto News" feature,
which is on even before I get up most nights. There must have been listener
interest, though. The resurrection of this as a news story is credited to one
individual, and that person will be on Coast to Coast with host Ian Punnett this
weekend: in the Saturday-Sunday overnight, if I understood the schedule
correctly. If this is of interest, you could check for yourself at the Coast to
Coast AM official website, which I am fairly sure is at

We make exceptions when show listings are part of an item of more general
