<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the years I have made friends with power pop fans from around the world. I believe the very first one to contact me outside of the US (1993) was <a href="http://24.189.242.16/pierre.htm" target="_blank">Pierre Gurdjos</a>, who runs the website <a href="http://bubblegum.the.punk.free.fr/" target="_blank">Bubblegum The Punk</a> A Guide to American Power POP 1975-1985.</span></div>

Unashamedly early Beatles influenced with Lennon-ish vocal drawl and Badfinger-esque guitars, all three of you blog readers should creem your pants over this! <a href="http://buddylove.us/downloads/#YII">Rocking Horse - Yes It Is</a></span></div>

Or maybe its because the band has been in rehearsal working on a huge batch of new material! We're doing the first major revamp of our Live Set since we reunited in late 2006!
Its been a long time coming because I've been writing non stop for the past 30 odd years and I have a backlog of tunes just waiting for someone to sing 'em!<p align="center">

After Hurricane Sandy, David Bash's New York leg of the International Pop Overthrow Festival was cancelled but I am happy to report that it has been rescheduled for this coming week and with it, Buddy Love's annual appearance!
The show will be at The National Underground on Houston Street. We have a primo time slot (11 PM Friday Evening May 3rd). In a way, IPO was instrumental in our 2006 reunion so I hope all of our fans will attend.

After a year of speculation and rumors, it’s official: Bleecker Bob’s, New York City’s most loved and hated record store, (and incidentally the largest outlet for our 1980 single "sheila b/w Party Girl)is closing. It will be replaced by a Froyo outlet in May 2013. Soon, instead of rare punk 45s, you’ll have your choice of “sprinkles with that?” or a shot of protein powder with your 32 ounce container of probiotic bacteria. It seems progress means a total loss of identity in the once mighty Manhattan.
This is from Bleecker Bob’s Facebook page:
looks like the new tenant has signed the lease. we’ve heard they want to be open by June 1. it will take probably around 2 months to get work permits for the massive remodeling job they’ll need to do so we’re figuring we should be open until May 2013!!
—-get ready for another chain of self serve yogurt/coffee/hot chocolate cafes NYC!!”
Bleecker Bob’s opened in 1968 as Village Oldies Records. In the mid-70s, as Bleecker Bob’s (named after its owner, ex-lawyer Bob Plotnik), it became a Mecca for people seeking the latest punk rock 45s and albums. Plotnik’s surly attitude, a borderline parody of the most tightly-wound rude New Yorker, added a certain manic energy that melded perfectly with the edgy music playing on the sound system. Imagine Johnny Rotten as a fat, pissed-off Jew and you might get a feel for Plotnik’s schtick. I could never tell if Bob was genuinely nuts or just playing nuts. He did usually follow his, er, “highly caffeinated” (ahem) rants with a sheepish smile. Whatever the case, his gruffness turned off a good portion of his customers. I knew plenty of people who refused to shop at his store, but I wouldn’t allow his vibes to keep me away from the thousands of records pouring in every month, most of which were D.I.Y singles from all over the planet. If dealing with Bob was part of the price of doing business with the guy, I didn’t mind. I wanted the vinyl!
For a lot of musicians, Bob’s place was not only a place to buy records, it was a place to sell your own. At the height of the punk era, Bob was always interested in new stuff from new bands and would pay cash for a stack of D.I.Y. 45s. Between buying and selling, the store was a meeting place for rockers from all over the world. It wasn’t unusual to run into Stiv Bators, Joey Ramone or Billy Idol thumbing through the racks.
One day while visiting Bob’s, I found around 50 copies of my latest single sitting on the counter. These were records that I paid to have pressed with my own money. The distributor had just sold them to Bob for cash. I never got an accounting for that sale. The distributor pocketed the money for himself. If you think major labels are the ultimate rip-offs, you haven’t had the experience of working with indies. I later mentioned it to Bob and he laughed. “It happens all the time,” he said. I didn’t find it funny.
In recent years, due to health issues, Plotnik passed on the day-to-day activities of running his store to his management team. The store wan’t the same without him. The store has somehow managed to survive without its resident bully or the help of a big music movement like punk to fuel its record sales. When punk and disco hit the scene, people who had stopped buying records started again with real passion. I know I did. Bob’s shop was packed in the late ‘70s—lines snaking out the door and Bob barking at people to keep it moving. If you browsed too long without buying, you were out of there. It was Bob’s good fortune that Yelp didn’t exist at the time.
In the annals of great record stores, Bleecker Bob’s will always stand tall. Ironically, at a time when vinyl sales are booming, one of the pioneers of the indie record scene is closing. Another casualty of escalating rent. Thanks to an unfriendly environment for independent business in New York City, we won’t have Bleecker Bob to kick us around anymore.
Hazel Sheffield and Emily Judem’s For The Records is a bittersweet tribute to Bleecker Bob’s record store and the man who nurtured it for over four decades.

We're coming off of our winter break with a show this coming Friday night at The Delancey (appropriately enough) on Delancey Street in NYC.
In the meantime we've been working on a bunch of new songs which we hope to debut along with a whole new show at IPO NY which is (for us) on May 3rd at The National Underground on Houston Street.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-51783689597733550202012-12-28T06:53:00.001-08:002012-12-28T06:58:30.576-08:00Support Indie Artists and Engineers (and my friend Marc of Sunrise Highway!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey all. My friend Marc is a talent (aren't we all?) and his band Sunrise Highway is awesome but that's not what I'm going to talk about.

It's with some regret that I have to announce that my first solo appearance EVER will be postponed until the spring of 2013 because Hurricane Sandy forced IPO promotor David Bash to cancel this year's festivities.
If you're reading my blog chances are you already know this!
The good news is that Buddy Love will be doing the show then so our continuous streak of IPO NY appearances will not be blemished.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-37556159412600117782012-11-06T06:49:00.000-08:002012-11-06T06:49:20.409-08:00Post Sandy Fun in NYCJust a week or so after hurricane Sandy and one block from a flooded and fireball exploded ConEd substation, Buddy Love enjoyed a fun filled evening of rock and roll.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>It has been a tradition since Buddy Love's reunion in 2006 to attend and perform at The International Pop Overthrow in New York City. This year the band cannot attend due to a prior engagement of one of our members. In order not to break our streak of consecutive annual appearances I (Doug, that's me!) will be doing a very rare solo performance. What exactly will I be doing? Good question!

I can't believe that I have not posted anything here since April! Since then alot has happened but the only thing of import that I will report right now is that David is no longer with the band. Yes, we are back down to the "core four", the original 1980 lineup of Joey, Doug, Rich and Scott.
With that out of the way let's move on; Next Saturday night will be our fourth Long Island appearance since our reunion in 2006. Aaron Kupferberg of the web blog <a href="http://powerpopaholic.com">powerpopaholic.com </a> is producing the first ever Power Pop music festival September 22nd, at Lulu's in Port Jefferson. Yea, I know it's a hike but it's gonna be fun!
I hope all you Long Island people will come see us there.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-61071884212303512072012-04-09T14:01:00.007-07:002012-09-20T05:15:37.922-07:00Upcoming Shows...We have two shows coming up...<br /><br />The Bowery Electric!<br />This Wednesday evening at 8 PM<br />327 Bowery at 2nd Street<br />212-228-0228<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIqKZYk67uww2ljyS6jB4jSionmmBx8qpL1Z1OxyUMblN9iWMTTyGBDa8EWEKFD1HdwffGlLNjXzKSsrvmYA2JETBDXm9o8-McQFNtImDQS28l1Haff1DgZOXjGJc0-BgrTrZohiYEsPZ/s1600/BOWERYELECTRIC.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIqKZYk67uww2ljyS6jB4jSionmmBx8qpL1Z1OxyUMblN9iWMTTyGBDa8EWEKFD1HdwffGlLNjXzKSsrvmYA2JETBDXm9o8-McQFNtImDQS28l1Haff1DgZOXjGJc0-BgrTrZohiYEsPZ/s400/BOWERYELECTRIC.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729509722226397314" /></a><br />and at DROM Sunday April 22nd (7 PM) for the Innsbruck Records showcase featuring all the artists signed to Innsbruck Records.<br />FREE ADMISSION if you make a reservation!<br />85 Ave. "A" Between 5th and 6th Streets<br />212-777-1157<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLCXLSh4s1OvEdqt4T7ECD_utrjC65KEFIGNAQQ7uc_vHCek8aniXsgB8OsEm5hUf55gClwKV0Bl68tiepQUwc4G__dG2sIC3S9EAMmLPS92riOwVdUT7r0LQQTlh4JDCB5kX0giuI-cde/s1600/drom.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 175px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLCXLSh4s1OvEdqt4T7ECD_utrjC65KEFIGNAQQ7uc_vHCek8aniXsgB8OsEm5hUf55gClwKV0Bl68tiepQUwc4G__dG2sIC3S9EAMmLPS92riOwVdUT7r0LQQTlh4JDCB5kX0giuI-cde/s400/drom.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729510283667418530" /></a>Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-54780789594400042602012-02-21T14:30:00.003-08:002012-02-21T14:37:28.367-08:00Pop Geek Heaven's Bruce Brodeen interviews...

What has the initial feedback on it been like? <br /><br />Doug: Buddy Love's latest CD is called "Buddy Love", not to be confused with the yellow album we released in 1982! Feedback from it has been great. In fact as a result we have been signed to a global distribution deal with Innsbruck Records.<br /><br />Bruce: The Recording Process - there are so many interesting ways that music projects coming into being these days compared with what artists encountered years ago. Take us on the creative arc of how this project came into being and any wisdom that you learned along the way. Also, what were some of the obstacles or struggles that you encountered when you were working on the project?<br /><br />Doug: After the reformation of Buddy Love's "classic" 1980 lineup in 2006 and the release of our 1st "post reunion" CD in 2007 (which consisted mostly of 25 year old songs that we performed but never recorded the first time around) I felt the band needed an injection of more "mature" material. We spent a considerable amount of time choosing songs from my catalog and began the process of reinventing the band to reflect our current point of view. The process took a little less than two years. One of the great things to come out of it was the putting aside of decades long arguments and grudges. We are now all grown up!<br /> <br />Bruce: Are there any particular songs on this project that are special to you or communicate a message that you'd like to share here? <br /><br />Doug: The song "Crying Town" has gotten a lot of attention. It felt different from the moment of conception but after it was recorded we all knew it was going to be something special. Another one that people seemed to really like is "Almost In Tears". Both songs reflect our more adult approach toward making pop music. <br /><br />Bruce: As we all know, the music industry has been devastated for many reasons over the past 10 years, what are you thoughts on these changes and are you finding some of them helpful to you with getting more people to hear your music?<br /><br />Doug: If I knew the answer to that I'd be a rich music industry bigwig instead of a struggling musician! LOL Seriously though, our record company is targeting film, TV and commercial uses for our recordings. You'd be surprised at how much can be made from one well placed song. <br /> <br />Here's an example; before Buddy Love I was in a punk group called MAN-KA-ZAM. Sometime in the mid 90's a MAN-KA-ZAM compilation CD was released, a small batch distributed and then forgotten, just like the band was in 1978. Somehow a producer at the TV show "House" heard it or already knew of it and chose one of the more forgettable songs to be used as background in a scene involving a punk singer with a brain disorder. I made more money with that one placement than with all my other music business income combined!<br /><br />Bruce: Along the lines of this discussion, it would be really interesting to get your thoughts on what you think the future of 'music enjoyment' might look like? How do you personally enjoy and 'consume' music? Any trends you've noticed with your own habits?<br /><br />Doug: First of all, I NEVER Listen to the radio. IT BLOWS! This is how I "consume" music; I hear about a group on one of the blogs I like to read or via a friend. I then download EVERYTHING by that group and put it in my iPod. With my iPod on shuffle in my car (where I do most of my listening) I skip the songs I don't like. If something comes on that I do like I never know who it was until the next time I sync up with iTunes. The ones that got skipped are (most likely) removed. The ones I like are noted. That's how I hear new music.<br /><br />Bruce: So many artists are wrestling with different ways to approach the recording process now - I would love to hear what your plans on with your next project - Are you going to a full CD, an EP or just release songs as you finish them. Release them digital only or combine physical with the digital or what? <br /><br />Doug: We have a great batch of new songs that are as different from each other and from what we have previously released as from what we released in 1980 vs. today. We are probably going to release them one at a time digitally and if people continue to buy them that way we'll assemble the tracks onto a CD or an EP. Probably...<br /> <br />Bruce: What are you finding that is working well for your music right now that others may find interesting to hear about?<br /><br />Doug: We added a keyboard player (Dave Stoler) who adds a great dimension to our sound, especially live, where it was always hard being a power trio (plus a lead vocalist). His addition has created a new depth to our sound. Thanks Dave!<br /><br />Bruce: Okay - time for some light humor: Spinal Tap Moment - dig deep. Locate. Relive. Share that special 'trauma' with all of us! :-D<br /><br />Doug: This is especially embarrassing but here it is; way back in 1979-1980 we had a rehearsal space in The Music Building on 8th Ave in NYC. If you don't know what that is let me explain; a 16 story building with four or five rehearsal spaces per floor. Outside on the street the most incredible cacophony of sound could be heard a block in each direction from the site. Our manager at the time also managed a young girl who was leading a three piece punk band. When we were using the space she and her bandmates would be in the stairwell practicing their vocals or something. She was very driven and dedicated to her craft but the bottom line is they sucked, big time! (easy for me to say as we were just as nowhere as they were at the time). I remember saying to my associate, "There's no way in hell this girl is ever gonna make it."<br /> <br />We found out that she had been evicted from her corner of a loft on 36th Street where she was sleeping and so was living in our rehearsal space! FYI, no showers anywhere in the building. When we found out what she was doing we threw her out and changed the locks. Of course it was quite a dramatic scene. Six months later she had transformed herself into a disco diva and was beginning to climb the charts. Her name was Madonna. DOH!<br /><br />Bruce: Is there a particular musician you'd love to collaborate with - and why? <br /><br />Doug: My friend Tommy Byrnes who (among other things) has been Billy Joel's guitarist for the past 20 odd years. Besides the fact that he is AWESOME, the one time we ever collaborated we wrote "Crying Town". He also produced it and the recording is fantastic. I learned so much just standing over his shoulder during those sessions.<br /> <br />Our collaboration produced something magical and I don't think it was an accident. I'm sure if we ever had the chance to work together again we would again make something fantasic. The only problem is that he is so busy and now lives far away so between those two facts, the point is moot.<br /><br />Bruce: Advance apologies: the 'classic' questions. What other artists and bands have influenced your music and any particular reason why? Also, push come to shove: "Your Top 5 Albums Of All Time"? (Pop Geeks really are interested in this, trust me!)<br /><br />Doug: Obviously The Beatles, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Jellyfish, George Gershwin (yes, Gershwin).<br /> <br />My top five albums are; Revolver, Skylarking, Bellybutton, Pet Sounds and Forever Changes.<br /><br />Bruce: We're always trying to find new music discover here at PGH - what are some of your favorite music releases from 2011 or anything that strikes you hard already in 2012? <br /><br />Doug: I don't know when these things came out but I love Freedom Wind by The Explorer's Club and 21st Century Junk by Dynamo Bliss. Otherwise I am woefully out of touch.<br /><br />Bruce: Yes, it would be great if most indie musicians could work on music full-time but the reality rarely the case for most of them. I always am asked by music fans, what are the careers or full-time jobs that the musicians of the music they are listening to do...so 'what's yr main gig?!' ;-P <br /><br />Doug: I'm a computer consultant, nerd extraordinaire!<br /><br />Bruce: We're taking an informal PGH poll of all musicians: Do you own a IPad, Kindle or Nook - or don't give a rip? Any thoughts on what reading books looks like to you?<br /><br />Doug: I love reading, mostly science fiction but recently I read the first two Bourne books in pdf format on my iPhone. I found it very easy to read from.<br /><br />Bruce: Okay, last question: Where can we learn more about your music and any other releases you have?<br /><br />Doug: Please go to our webstore, http://buddylove.us/Webstore/html/BuddyLove(2011).htmlDoughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-70501610789652136862012-02-16T18:36:00.000-08:002012-02-16T18:38:00.289-08:00This Sunday at Otto's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOBbuOsjzbbX5fdRhU2H6ud2W0YWOE3_GDwlOITs1_XZZiDAwZ8-KNNXyQzGytRMOWAf6bTXPZtavBNtC-Rc6LFOXmvPtdYuEDTY7lFbwT-G8yqSaWuKAvkBvWPcGOpMTw0_r29dWCXkJ/s1600/DSC_3363.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOBbuOsjzbbX5fdRhU2H6ud2W0YWOE3_GDwlOITs1_XZZiDAwZ8-KNNXyQzGytRMOWAf6bTXPZtavBNtC-Rc6LFOXmvPtdYuEDTY7lFbwT-G8yqSaWuKAvkBvWPcGOpMTw0_r29dWCXkJ/s400/DSC_3363.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709928149470778658" /></a><br />We'll be at Otto's Shrunken Head and Tiki Lounge this Sunday (Feb 19th). <br /><br />Be there!Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309422917917546170.post-48565617176275056262012-02-15T11:58:00.001-08:002012-02-20T05:18:36.673-08:00Buddy Love at CBGB's?!?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifz3gpc6xrwBnT8JBLjySfbhFJTPMBL-vyt0PFD8TY4PS6tu0zMutJy_x2MRcf1nOWpgEiS2FkSqLf7ObP91_bTDYd0xZwC_93KkY4EWZVbQuPw-RyRmEPRwMoDA0qnZMMN_V3Srs0LLQI/s1600/CBGB+Buddy+Love+Ad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifz3gpc6xrwBnT8JBLjySfbhFJTPMBL-vyt0PFD8TY4PS6tu0zMutJy_x2MRcf1nOWpgEiS2FkSqLf7ObP91_bTDYd0xZwC_93KkY4EWZVbQuPw-RyRmEPRwMoDA0qnZMMN_V3Srs0LLQI/s400/CBGB+Buddy+Love+Ad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710196630237000338" /></a><br />Someone on FaceBook posted this ad (I'm assuming from the Village Voice) showing one of Buddy Love's early 80's appearances at CBGB's. Interestingly enough one of the other groups listed for that day is The Breakaways, which was led by my Radio Flyer bandmate and songwriting partner Gary Feldman.<br /><br />aaahhh, memories....Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16166502876870918157noreply@blogger.com0
