In the present day after finding out about this from the site, I wrote (ok, emailed) to Judith and got the whole collection. Very well worth getting. A classic zine with stuff you would not find elsewhere (of course) and comp CD's of a quality many labels don't come close to.<br /><br />Thanks again for pointing me toward this.<br /><br />Acebglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-48933860745534755942010-11-02T08:48:38.589-07:002010-11-02T08:48:38.589-07:00Thanks for posting this--just seeing it now, but b...Thanks for posting this--just seeing it now, but better late than never, eh? <br /><br />I also own a copy of this fabulous cd--obtained for free while working at the record store Desireable Discs in Dearborn, Michigan many moons ago. It's one of my favorite treasures. <br /><br />It is very sad that 'zines have fallen by the wayside. There is something wonderful and exciting about having a tangible item that you can run your fingers over and smell and place up on the shelf. I find it sad to imagine a future of book-reading and music-listening to be an online-only thing, but I get the feeling that we're headed in that direction more and more.<br /><br />Anyway, to those of you who don't have this little gem, it is worth every penny. I think it's one of the best compilations out there.<br /><br />Most Big Star fans probably already know the Chris Bell track, but some other real standouts for me are "Boxtop," by Outrageous Cherry (I seem to be the only person I know in Michigan who has even heard of OC--and they're from Michigan), Yuji Oniki's "Cover" (my personal favorite), "Number One" by the Scruffs, and "Radiator Girl" by Sister Lovers. The rest are all great as well--there's no way you can go wrong.Shawn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249292406050239682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-33903781858772919762010-06-10T00:32:16.172-07:002010-06-10T00:32:16.172-07:00MANY THANKS FOR THIS.

Spavid thanks for putting up the Lonely Planet Boy CD and the kind words and link to my BOAC page. <BR/><BR/>I am so ashamed to have let the page get to such a state with missing links, eons out of date material and, er ZERO mention of the 4th issue of BACK OF A CAR (or BOAC) which was "memories of being a teenager in the late 70's." The final issue had a companion CD "Teenster" with a whack of bands given the assignment to contribute a song with an am 70's sound.<BR/><BR/>Spavid your name definitely seems familiar. I def recall Robert Cass (shame on you for not reading the 3rd issue, dude. That's just wrong!)<BR/><BR/>If anyone wants a complete set of BOAC and/or the 3 CD's (cheap)please contact me beeman@istar.ca for all the gory details. <BR/><BR/>regards, JudeJudith Beemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247945254907165894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-70781991413250759372009-02-17T07:16:00.000-08:002009-02-17T07:16:00.000-08:00I was going through some old letters the other nig...I was going through some old letters the other night and found one from February 11, 1998, that came with my copy of BOAC issue #3. In it Judith Beeman wrote, "The BIG news tho, is I've just released *lonely planet boy* a BOAC compilation featuring the Chris Bell cut, a few originals written for the disc, 5 Memphis acts and other 7th-degree-of-separation material in the Big Star realm. It's great she sez shoving modesty aside. And a mere $8.00 will land a copy in your mailbox."<BR/><BR/>She also mentioned returning home to Vancouver after attending the Poptopia event in Los Angeles. "Top bands I saw were BMX Bandits, Imperial Teen and 'Groop' who consisted of the rhythm section of Velvet Crush, Matthew Sweet, Tommy Keene and Parthenon Huxley, doin' a bunch of covers."Robert Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707335033990525130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-6933983804232236512009-02-08T07:06:00.000-08:002009-02-08T07:06:00.000-08:00Wow.

I never thought I'd get to hear that Replacements tribute album again that you posted last summer, and now I have an MP3 of "Country Morn," for which I still have the flexi-disc -- I ordered Back of a Car issues #1 and #2 in 1996. (I still haven't read #3, which I've had for 11 years now.) I even remember trading a few e-mails in '96 with Judith Beeman, who published BOAC, using my very first e-mail address, which I was given as part of an English class at the beginning of that year so our teacher could give us a few assignments that way. (I didn't truly become addicted to e-mail until '98. I still miss sending and receiving actual lettersm -- or fanzines -- in the mail.) In fact, that e-mail address still exists 13 years later on the Web at this address: http://zenandjuice.com/music/bigstar/text/3rdlyr.txt. BOAC led me to Todd Rundgren, who became my next big musical obsession after Big Star and Alex Chilton.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Robert Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707335033990525130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-43416447496060070012009-01-30T20:24:00.001-08:002009-01-30T20:24:00.001-08:00Nice choice..
