Hurricane Sandy may have preempted one NYC Marathon but it has precipitated another -- the world’s first ever record washing marathon! Yes, join us at the Brooklyn Bowl as we tackle a truckload of wet wax from the label with the able stable- New York’s own NORTON RECORDS, which was totally trashed, bashed and flooded by the wrath and fury of Sandy!

ALL HAIL NORTONIA!
Man...as has been said, last year at this time we were all together & all celebrating a miracle of modern times, Norton Records. It was an ecstatic long weekend of historic proportions, as is every day life for Billy & Miriam. These people are role models, figureheads, they are what i aspire to be...real, happy honest people that love what they do & love us. Crazy? Without a doubt, but hey? Aren't you? I met Miriam Linna in 1976 at a very early Cramps show & we started talking about her Flamin' Groovies button (I always remember her first words "The Flamin' Groovies! They're my number one!" with a little squeal...). I met Billy Miller A couple years later. Our worlds have collided endlessly through the decades, there's so many photos...
I have been privileged to go on so many Rock N Roll adventures with these people. Whether it be driving out to Randy Fuller's place, to Timothy Carey's house where the World's Greatest Sinner was filmed, All rushing to meet Big Daddy Roth in 1984, an almost teenage house party featuring Esquerita, or paying respects in forgotten graveyards to our icons, always leaving with a rare memento...i have to say i love these people. Their baby, Kicks Magazine/Norton Records/Kicks Books is as i said a miracle. They have given life to artists that were never ever recognized, ever. And given these people hope & fun & careers even. Wonderful memories that define their lives, certainly. We who are obsessed with the alternate side of pop culture are endlessly indebted to them for single-handedly seeking these people out and serving them to us on a 7 or 12 inch silver platter.I can't tell you how insane i felt sitting there watching half the Del-Aires in a VFW Hall somewhere in Florida with 8 or 10 elderly men & women in the middle of the afternoon all of us actually watching Miriam doing the Zombie Stomp all having a blast...these are my personal memories.
Seeing someone like this in tears standing on a pile of rubble that is in fact all of these loves/obsessions/memories/mementos is heartbreaking. I actually cried when i watched it. On a global level, there are people everywhere that love real Rock N Roll & Norton Records & NEED them to fix their day to day working lives. There are people that need this. We are those people! And now is our time to give back!
It's so hard to put into words just how important this is (I'm writing this off the top of my head so bear with me). Billy & Miriam have done endless benefits forever, Miriam goes long distances to visit sick icons & friends in the hospital, I guess I could go on & on but i know I'm preaching to the converted here.
The most important thing here is to HELP. And to know that no help is too small. It really adds up. After a disaster like this people tend to go back to their lives when there's no more news coverage & forget about it. But the victims have to go on still in the midst of the disaster. This is why WE ALL MUST KEEP POSTING OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN TO HELP NORTON RECORDS. They need our help now more than ever. Donate 5 bucks a week! Make a tiny plan to do something & just follow through with it. It will make you feel good & you will help save A huge chunk of Rock N Roll.
The Dictators asked on a Norton Record, Who Will Save Rock N Roll? The answer is YOU! Do it.
Over & out-

Norton Records: The Hound Checks In...
Last year we were celebrating Norton Records' 25th anniversary, this year they're struggling to recover from Hurricane Sandy. I spent two days this week helping out, cleaning discs on the volunteer assembly line. It's a daunting task, two hundred thousand + records destroyed, jackets ruined - although some of the discs can be salvaged, hence the assembly line, but they need some help.
I go way back with the Norton Records people - Billy Miller and Miriam Linna. Before Norton Records, before the Zantees, before Kicks, Bad Seed and Flamin' Groovies monthly magazines even. Back to another time, back when it seemed like there were maybe a dozen or so people in the whole world that liked the type of sounds Norton has brought to the world - Esquirita, Hasil Adkins, Jack Starr, et al. Now it seems like everyone knows who they are. Last night a friend texted me - his daughter was playing on WFMU at that exact moment. I tuned in to hear the kid, and she and her friends are warbling their way through a Charlie Feathers tune! My, things have changed. If there was one factor in bringing great rock'n'roll to the world, it was Norton Records. Now they're fighting for their life, Hurricane Sandy (obviously named for the Dion tune) destroyed their warehouse, taking out records, personal items like most of Miriam's fabled paperback collection, Billy's 78RPM's, master tapes, fanzines, Kicks Books, etc. If there was ever a good cause, this is it. You can donate money at the Norton website or time or both.
Reasons you should head to Norton headquarters and volunteer:
*For one thing, it's a good cause, maybe the best cause ever. Norton Records has long been at the forefront of what some of us think of as rock'n'roll, and they're just about the only ones who still do it.
*Free pizza and beer. And rubber gloves....
*Its' where all the cool people are, the ones who hardly ever go out anymore (like me and my wife....). I saw some of my favorite people in the world there this week.
*Despite the tragic and stressful conditions, Billy Miller is still one of the funniest people in the world.
*You'll earn indulgences to get to heaven, or where ever you plan on spending your afterlife.
*Learn the record business from the ground up.
*Learn about the hazards of global climate change and how it affects you and your Hasil Adkins records.
*Meet folks from all over the world, study their habits and learn to recognize their accents.
*More fun than it looks, in fact more fun that most NYC clubs these days.
To volunteer call the Norton office (718-789-4438) or Billy's cell (917) 671-7185 or email nortonrec@aol.com with the word Volunteer in the subject box.

Norton Records: It's bigger than all of us
When I opened my first record store in the early 90s, in Columbia, Missouri, Norton Records was the label on which the whole store pivoted, at least in my heart. Crypt had the best contemporary bands and the Back from the Grave comps and an essential persona of hilarious anger and resentment. Estrus and Sympathy had their own West Coast garage punk thing and the attractive graphic design. In the Red had the weirdos, Goner were the weirdos, and Telstar and Bag of Hammers and Ripoff and others were important to an overall healthy rock and roll presentation. But Norton Records not only had some of the best records - it had the point of view and the sense of humor that most explicitly dovetailed with and informed my own idea of what rock and roll was and why it deserved to be celebrated in all of its crazy permutations.
The Revelators play in front of Whizz! Records ca. 1996 or so. |
BANNED! |
I learned that it was all about chickens. |
Without these records of unknown origin, the world would be a much poorer place! |

NORTON RECORDS HURRICANE BULLS**T UPDATE
We are still at it here at Norton Records, trying to recover from the total destruction of Norton Records warehouse. The volunteers have been amazing - there's even Norton artists cleaning their own records! Sony Records, United Record Pressing and Discwashers have donated a ton of supplies for salvage purposes and we can't thank them enough. The Discwasher machines are speeding up the salvaging process immensely. Volunteers are still needed. E-mail nortonrec@aol.com with VOLUNTEER in the subject line or call 917-671-7185 (my cell phone) but no text or Facebook responses. we will be setting up a second crew at Brooklyn Phono in Sunset Park. Tom at Brooklyn Phono has been a saint and this second location will surely help speed things up. He's come up with some insane mad scientist way of saving 45s. If you want in on that, please put VOLUNTEER SUNSET PARK in the subject.

Norton Donations & Volunteer Help
Rockin' Joe Belock |
I'm sure you've heard by now. Norton Records has suffered a terrible blow in the shape of hurricane Sandy. I'd like to thank all the "first responders" who have been helping out down at the warehouse, and at Norton H.Q., removing and drying records. It's the kind of physical help that leaves you feeling like you're making a difference. It's also the kind of help that folks in the Brooklyn, NY area are more equipped to provide. But the norton family spreads out far past the five boroughs in every direction! And the rest of us can help too. By making a contribution. This contribution will help to restore Norton's supply of jackets and sleeves for the salvaged LP's and 45's. I remember once having a conversation with Miriam about the beginning of the label and where it has progressed to today. It was while she and Billy were graciously housing the band at their home during the recording of the Mary Weiss album. She remarked that "Norton isn't just a company or a label, it is it's own being with a heart and soul." Nurtured and reared by a family of wild Rock and Roll fans all over the world! And it is so true. And now Norton needs our help. Your help. So that it may remain a home to superb music for generations to come. Donate now!
You can also email nortonrec@aol.com for more info on how to lend a hand in Brooklyn. Stay tuned for upcoming benefit concerts for Norton as well as a 1 day WFMU record fair that will include a Norton table with new stuff for sale!!

Ichiban in Exile!
WFMU's Rock & Soul Ichiban stream was badly injured by Hurricane Sandy, leaving its live programming orphaned for the time being while Debbie D and Dr. Filth keep the stream running with duct tape and elbow grease from their respective homes in New York City and Asheville, North Carolina. Today from Noon to 3 PM, Ichiban's beloved sister stream, Give The Drummer Radio, hosts Ichiban refugee Matt Fiveash for a special three-hour show with co-host GTDR star Amanda Nazario of Nazario Scenario fame. Matt's Singles Going Steady week show got flooded out last week so he's having it this week instead and you will hear nothing but the little records with the big holes. November is Norton Records month on Ichiban; expect to hear a whole bunch of Norton 45s. Remember that Norton suffered catastrophic destruction to their warehouse in Red Hook and they still need your help!
You can listen to the show live on the Give The Drummer Radio Stream.
But most of all, don't forget to pledge. Thanks to Sandy, WFMU is in by far the worst financial shape of its entire life, and that's saying a lot!
Mucho thanks to champion disk jockey, GTDR head honcho and beloved WFMU veteran Doug Schulkind for making this happen.
Also, please note that Ichiban is playing nothing but Greg Cartwright DJ sets all day today up until 3:00 when Debbie Does WFMU returns to the Ichiban stream!

Deke Dickerson remembers his early days as a Norton Records artist
I remember asking Billy Miller if the Untamed Youth album would be released on cassette, since I was very worried (insert sad horn sound here) about our band's commercial potential in the marketplace. Billy's response was that "cassettes are for Madonna." When the Untamed Youth came to New York to play, Billy took me in the Norton-mobile to the pressing plant to see our record being made.
To an 18-year old kid, immersed in the new-to-me mystical world of intense, obsessive record collecting, seeing the antiquated processes and machinery that created these records was like a visit to the Wizard of Oz. Machines wheezed and clunked and the air was thick and acrid with the smell of vinyl particulate and steam. It was awesome. I watched as Untamed Youth "Some Kinda Fun" LP's came off the line. I was surprised at how much hand-work was involved, figuring it would be an all-automated process. Nope, it was pretty much like the 1950's, low-wage folks inserting vinyl biscuits into pressing machines, hand-inserting vinyl into sleeves.
Billy Miller looked at a stack of reject 45's and pulled out a red vinyl 45 called "Roaches" by the Court Jesters. "Hey, this one is a good doo-wop song about Roaches, you have it?" I replied I did not, but I knew I certainly needed it. Soon my world would revolve around doo-wop sounds about Roaches, one-man band songs about government cheese, and surf songs about monkeys.
We loaded a bunch of boxes of literally hot-off-the-press Untamed Youth albums into the Norton-mobile and drove to the Norton warehouse (different place than it is now, but still a musty, moldy underground bunker with the sort of infrastructure and wiring and plumbing one would expect from a city built upon the ruins of the previous three centuries). There I was, a kid fresh out of high school, unloading a princely 1000 copies of my first record down some rusty stairs into a dark basement warehouse. I probably knew at that moment, though my ambition wouldn't let me accept it, that super-stardom was not in my future. Madonna had not started out this way.
Somehow I knew, though, that this was my place. A world where a pancake-shaped molded vinyl particulate would be obsessed over as though it were the Shroud of Turin by a group of unemployed, broke jackasses that really, god bless 'em, really really cared about the music. They could tell you about alternate takes, they could tell you about which pressings were vinyl and which were noisy styrene, they could wax philosophical about how Hasil Adkins and Jerry McCain had been separated at birth, even though one was white and one was black. I felt all the same things, and I knew that Jerry Lee Lewis alternate takes were important to me, too, even if they didn't mean a damn to the friends I had back in Missouri. For that moment of recognizing and accepting my fellow species of lowlife music-obsessed, record collecting miscreants, I owe Billy and Miriam and Norton Records a huge thanks.
Now here I am, two and a half decades later, lugging my own vinyl pressings into my own storage space, 1000 copies at a time. Vinyl is hip again in a way that we never would have predicted back in the 1980s. I have no embarrassing cassingles in my past, and I have Norton Records to thank for that as well.
It saddens me now to think of the Norton Warehouse, submerged under Hurricane Sandy bilge water, those precious biscuits of vinyl waterlogged. Some of those priceless nuggets have my own precious teenage angst garage band music recorded on them. I remember lugging those boxes down the stairs nearly 25 years ago, and it makes me damn proud to know that Norton Records has hung in there that long--prospered, at that.
I know that the good people will come together and help save what records can be saved, and people will help Billy and Miriam recover from this tragedy. Norton Records is too damn important to let some flood water put 'em out of business, where Madonna had failed to do so. You can't drown the loud sound, indeed!

If The Price Is Right (MP3)
Houston Roberts - If The Price Is Right
Here's a foot-stompin' honky-tonker from Houston Roberts on Nashville's Little Darlin' label, an organization that frequently peddled hard country sounds. And speaking of prices, this seems like a fine time to gently remind you that WFMU's Rock & Soul Ichiban comes to you at all hours of the day and night completely free. So if you feel like hitting the pledge button above to help us keep everything humming, we'd be grateful.
Creepy Chix Mix!
Draculena - Aaron McNeill
The Monster Miss - Miss L.L. Louise Lewis
My Baby's Got a Crush on Frankenstein - Soupy Sales
