I received this posting from DJ after he read mine.
"Dear Carl,
"I think it would be misleading to say that I might play "Greedy Little Monsters," "Breathe on Me," "My Humble Home," and "Bedtime Tears," at Rincon Center, because I generally do not play those songs at that venue, unless someone requests any of them. In that event I would do an instrumental version. Rincon audiences have a better chance of hearing me play "Lousy Personality" and "The King of Happiness" because those songs lend themselves better to a non-vocal rendition. Remember, at Rincon, DJL does not sing.
"Some of the songs you are more likely to hear me play there are "Shell Shock" by Erazerman, "We Bite" by the Misfits, "Gimme Gimme" by the Lords of Acid, "Swing Swing" by the All American Rejects, "Rich Bitches in Volvos" by Fabulous Disaster, "There's a Light that Never Goes Out" by the Smiths, "Inside of Love" by Nada Surf, "El Camino's in the West" by Grandaddy, "Shadowline" by the Fleshtones, "The Very Last Time" by the Maydays, "Hate to Say I Told you So" by the Hives, " "Highway Star" by Deep Purple, "Rockin' Back Inside my Heart" by Julee Cruise, "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, "Boredom-Denial" by Tiger Trap, "Bitter Heart" by the Marshmallow Overcoats, "Daddy's Stroboscope" by the Shiny Gnomes, "Undead" by the Undead, "A la poubelle" by les Sheriffs, "That's the Way of the World" by Flipper, "Clash City Rockers" by the Clash, "Downtown" by the Vktms, "Ruby Ruby" by Dion, "Rumble" by Link Wray, "Rawhide" by Bill Monroe, "In the Past" by the Chocolate Watchband," "Wonderful" by the Circle Jerks, "Watermark" by Enya, "Shakin' All Over" by Chad Allen & the Expressions, "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, "All the Way from Memphis" by Mott the Hoople, "Angles" by the Billy Nayer Show, "The Black and the Blue" by the Bats, "Man Size" by the Nerves, "Knock on Any Door" by Beat Happening, "TV Party by Black Flag," Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, "At the Edge" by Stiff Little Fingers, "Ride my Seesaw" by the Moody Blues, "Coyote" by Rank & File, "La Bombe et Moi" by Parabellum, "Baby You're So Repulsive" by Crime, "The Weeping Willow" by Scott Joplin, "The Truth" by Quicksilver Messenger Service, "Tell the World How I Feel about 'cha, Baby" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, "Don't Let it Bring You Down" by Neil Young, "Elmer's Tune" by Glenn Miller, "Buddy Holly" by Weezer, "Self-Determination" by A Priori, "Walk Don't Run" by the Chantays, "The Bad Printer" by DJ Lebowitz, "Oh L'Amour" by Erasure, "Volver Volver" by Vicente Fernandez, "Mother-in-Law" by Allen Toussaint, "Basin Street Blues" by Louis Armstrong, "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak, "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis, "Rat Race of Desire" by The Desoto Reds, and much more.
"As for any upcoming show featuring DJ Lebowitz originals and vocals, it may not happen until 2007, but it will happen. Anyone who wants to be on my e-mail list should ask to be included at djlebo@earthlink.net. You'll get a message back from my spam filter, but when you do, just click where it says to request to be let thru. Then you're in.
"Thanks, Carl, for mentioning me in your Blog.
Sincerely yours,
DJ"

The Minus One
on slide show now playing
"The Minus One" is the name of the group Dana Alberts, Liam Hart and Mike Henry started in the eighties. The band released four singles through the "Skate Rock" series through Thrasher Magazine, and appeared on “One Giant Leap”, a compilation record released in England on Venture Records in 1983.
The next year, they recorded “Where A Man Was Made,” with Spencer Dryden on drums (Jefferson Airplane drummer) and Naomi Ruth Isenberg (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) on violin.
Minus One toured the U.S. in 1985 with the VKTMS, the punk band formed by drummer Louis Gwerder and featuring Nyna Crawford.
Later that year Alberts was approached by Danny Sugerman, the author and former manager of the “Doors, and Iggy Pop's manager, after Sugerman had heard a tape of the band.
This led them to an offer of a record deal from Geffen Records. The band, broke up before the deal could be consummated.
They reformed in late 2006, and are be currently rehearsing to play extensively in 2007.
