Chris....
How about having someone at Bandoppler review the latest Lost Dogs record I sent you guys back in June? Did it ever make it, or did the postman help himself?

When I was in 6th grade, my family moved to Pittsburgh PA (1983) and a christian radio station there gave two hours a week to rock music. I'm sure they did so reluctantly - they probably tucked the show away on Saturday nights so that the old ladies that listened to the station wouldn't have heart attacks. Anyway, the program had "Horrendous Disc" and the first couple of "Alarma" records in rotation. "I Love You #19" and "Hound of Heaven", though years old at the time, were leaps and bounds beyond most of the other stuff the station had in its playlist. Also getting airtime were "Central Theme", "New Car!", "Walls of Doubt", "Mall (All over the world)" ... the humor and the post-punk sound had me hooked. I was a DA fan.
As I dug into their back-catalogue, I was surprised to find that they started as a country rock band, but having listened to the Beatles growing up, there was a consistancy I recognized in their recordings and it made sense to me, even if their lyrics were sometimes a bit beyond me. That was cool though - Taylor forced me dig into his lyrics and educate myself. I feel like I got more out of those LPs than most youth group talks. As I went through high school, my youth leaders would push CCM that spoon-fed a lot of propoganda and followed trends. Meanwhile, I was trying to wrap my head around "Darn Floor Big Bite". All this to say, Terry Taylor was (and is) way ahead of his time. I may have missed out on the "touring days", but my faith has been enriched by the art of DA and Taylor.

I found out about "Preachers From Outer Space" I think through the Rad Rockers catalog.
What drew me to it was that it was advertised as a "bootleg."
At the time, I really wanted to find "bootleg" recordings (and imports and harder to find stuff. Also music I had never heard before.)
That one album had me hooked ever since.

I had just started High School and there was a radio music show for teens that I listened to every week. On that program, they started playing "Let's Spin" and a few other tracks of that album. I fell in love with the sound.
I bought it on tape and listened to it every day. The next year, I got my first CD player and bought "Let's Spin" on CD and "Outdoor Elvis", which had just come out.
Then I read an article on the band and found out that it was some guy named Terry Scott Taylor and that he had done a lot of other music. That was back when you still find "Darn Floor, Big Bite" and "Fearful Symmetry", so I snatched those up (yes, on CD.) Every month I looked for each CD reissue, and I'm so happy that I've been able to get just about everything of Terry's (solo, Eddies, DA, and LD) on CD upon it's first issuing, then second issuing, and now with Imaginarium, I guess I'll have three copies!!
I've got well over 50 CDs with Terry's name on the credits. I guess you could say I'm a fan.
Uh, yeah...I am!!

I guess for me, then, it was because.... |
|
....I listened to Frankie Valli in the womb. Good thing I got Songs of the Heart first.
I guess that's why I was born in New Jersey too.

they played the single Shotgun Angel on the local underground CC station (it was literally out of a guys basement- they are big time now in the area)
my buddy bruce bought the LP- hated side two, and borrowed it to me (this was in 80)
I taped it on an old cassette..and the voyage began.
I read CCM at the time and awaited Horrendous DIsc ... sort of lost interest when it was delayed- then found it at the public library in 82..still have that cassette I taped the LP from..I edited out Love 19- Hound of Heaven and the title track..I was too conserative at the time
AINT THAT FUNNY!?!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!?

That reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad would go through the lyrics of each christian tape I bought and say you can listen to this one and this one and this one but not the rest. My sister and I would take the three treasures that we were allowed to have and add them to a tape of "acceptable" music
