Sorry I couldn't post this in Italian or German, and unfortunately I don't have any spammy links to provide. I finally found my CA soundtrack, and you created it - thanks. This is some good s***. Why I never stumbled upon the Mermen until now, I'll never know and always regret.

Was at your show last night at gamh in the city,I was more than impressed with everything that you all have going on.It was worth the trip from Auburn to see a true S.F. ballroom type show,my highest compliments to the band,crew and family for making it a really enjoyable and gratifying experience. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the future .I admire what you are doing very much and hope you will try to bring your show and vibe to the foothills some time in the coming new year,with warmest regards for the holidays.

The other day my friend and I were pondering which musical direction we would like to take our band (Ugly FOG). Both being fans of surf rock, we decided to do some searching. It was then that we came across your music. I must say, that I am completely amazed. I have been unable to stop listening to your tunes. The haunting beauty of the music is truly inspirational. Thank you! Mike (Sarnia Ontario Canada)

Mermen, Thanks for giving me a reason to live. Before I had LISTENED to YOUR music,I was choking on the FM dial and and burning CD's ...with lighter fluid. Fighting my way through all the anger music, I nearly pulled a Van Gogh. I swore that I'd never listen again and then I saw the light. That beacon from which your music comes...Thank God for The Mermen! I threw out my zoloft,xanax and lexapro also fired my DR. Yes sir ...I'm on the right path now. A new diet, The Amazing California Health diet.Fish Food and Krill on the grill. I "GOT MILK" from the Cows. A feeling of Euphoria embraces me now! Only You ....The Mermen were able to do it.

I only know your tunes through the magic of digital trading. Yet they have become a wonderful part of my life. With friends, my little girl, strangers in a bar. Venture with (Richard can't use the nickname because it offends) Dale, groove to twangy spaced out strings. There's a sweet spot, a sound base (bass?). WURF - Would love to have been at that party. Off for Amsterdam in a few weeks, will play Mermen with excitement in coffeeshops around that town. I hear the break on the Prinsengracht is killer. Peace, willemcraven

bill bengle (wjb67@aol.com):

Hey Mer-folks... Since I'm from New Jersey I'll start my comments off with a typical figure of speech "Not for nothing..." But it's not very often that the Mermen get to travel out to NJ and play for us...and I, for one, look forward to it...so it's a bummer when you guys have an "off night". I know that can happen. Last night at the Saint in Asbury Park the first half of the show was pretty darn good...I enjoyed the films being projected behind the band too!!! However, after that 30 minute "ten minute break" it was all downhill...and it wasn't pretty. Again, I know off nights can happen...but we paid to see the show (and sat through Barry and the Penetrators too!!!) and it might have been a litle bit better. Peace!!! Bill

This band is pretty awesome. I came of knowing of the group by playing "Road Rash 3D," for the playstation console. I have always enjoyed surf music and to hear your band just expands my repertoire. Definitely will go out and buy a cd of your music, guys. Since this is the first time I have really know anything about this band, I am still shady on the names. There is a black and white picture that appears on the video game with you three guys (the bald one looks like George Clooney), now however there is a bass player named Jennifer; confused. I am in San Antonio, so we hardly get bands like this here, might be nice for you guys to stop by. Feel free to write, the address has been provided on top

Frederick Reardon (fred@steelfurniture.com):

Just listening to the The Mermen exemplifies the same feeling I had during El Nino at OB...maybe sitting out in 10' to 15' sets at VFWs or Sloat. Pure thrill, terror, and euphoria. Jim's rifts are obviously the result of devine interludes with Neptune's Tantrums. Big Sur gig at the "Fernwood" (Winter 2002) will go down in history as one of Big Sur's coolest hangs since John Lennon was at Essalen. Surfing gigantic Sand Dollar in the Morning and Discovering the Mermen were in Big Sur that night was immense. Kind of like, you have a good day of paddling and someone says "Jerry Garcia's playing at the the local pub tonight." Can't even wait for some fully rippin tunes at Santa Monica and Malibu this weekend. Don't stop playing live. Fred

I saw you all play at the Bluebird in Denver. I have never experienced a wash of reverb that seemed more intense than the solar wind. I especially liked your take on the Enio Morricone theme. There are few groups in rock and roll who's music deserves to be called "majestic." This term definitely applies to The Mermen. I've had some great times listening to your music and wish to extend my gratitude for the musical gift you have bestowed upon us listener types. Come back to Denver soon!

My friends and I just saw the Mermen last night in Detroit...they are the best band making the best music on the planet right now...period. And I like the fact that they now have a female bass player because that gives the Mermen a little Mermaid action... she is also a very talented bass player.

Dear Mermen: I first saw & heard you guys back in 1995 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at a now-defunct bar called the Dingo. I was overjoyed, and overwhelmed, and I nearly went deaf. I worote to Jim Thomas, and he wrote back on yellow legal pad paper. It was around the time of Allen Ginsburg's death, and he (Jim)had gone to his funeral out here in SF. I lived in Fanta Se at the time, but have since moved to Oaktown, where I too dwell near Lake Merritt. I sent some poems, as I'm a poet and writer, and I wondered if I might send more. No particular reason -- perhaps I could meet you guys for a pitcher at the Parkway. I believe I noticed that you're playing at the Fillmore on August 4th? I also hoped to get some more Mermen stickers, for my car, apartment, cat, and face. Slainte, Andre Tuloi

Hey Jim, I,ve pirated some of your stuff from Napster 'cause I can not find your albums here in NJ. I like what I hear...Sounds like the stuff you used to play at my apartment in Castro Valley after a trip to people's park in Berkley. I like it a lot. If you ever read this stuff, e-mail me. I'd like to hear from you. It's been along time since we've talked. Hope all is well with you. Do you ever come back to NJ? Best of regards, Jerry Morton

It has been a while, so I thought that I would write and beg for a show, or an album release, or a trip to the beach or some MP3's or SOMETHING! I have moved to Santa Cruz and lost my old address book or I would of course bug you more directly... And of course FOR THE LOVE OF GODS PUT ME ON YOUR CURRENT MAILING LIST! Thanks Kurt

HEY- I HOPE THIS GETS SOMEWHERE- AS A 4 YEAR FAN AND 13 YEAR BASS PLAYER I CAN STILL SAY THAT THERE IS NO BAND THAT CAN TOUCH THE MERMEN!! DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER SAN LUIS OBISPO? 3 HOURS SOUTH OF THE BAY AREA- MULTIPLE HIDDEN AND UNCROWDED SURFBREAKS. YOU PLAYED AT THE BREWERY QUITE A WHILE BACK. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BECOME A STAPLE IN OUR SMALL BUT WONDERFUL MUSIC SCENE. NOW I AM TIED TO THE CORPORATE WORLD- I CAN NO LONGER ROAD TRIP AT WILL. PLEASE RESPOND- I HAVE GREAT CONNECTIONS HERE AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET YOU GUYS A GREAT GIG. BEING THAT WE ARE ON THE COAST AND THERE WOULD BE NO SHORTAGE OF BOARDS BEERS and...bimbos THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO CONSIDER- ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN WORK IT INTO YOUR EXISTING SCHEDULE. A RIDER? EQUIPMENT RENTAL? A DEAF SOUND ENGINEER? PROMOTION COSTS? IT IS APRIL, WE HAVE 4 MONTHS OF GREAT SURF, LOW CROWDS AND SEMI-FRIENDLY CRITTERS. AT TWO DOGS CAFE THERE WERE ABOUT 17 MERMEN T- SHIRTS. PLEASE COME AND VISIT

I have been listening to you guys since the very begining. I am really saddened by the idea that you might be packing it up on what seems to be the dawn of your greatness. I think anybody who has been deep into the San Francisco music scene( Hockaloogie, Horsie, etc.) for the last 10 years or so would agree that the Mermen have been the toughest and most enigmatic band. On the surface your music has changed a great deal but the core integreing entertainers can sometimes discourage you from following through with your vision. Are you too "old", too "uncommercial", who's world is it? Don't get dragged down by illusions. It's all new out there. There are new worlds to conquer, and chaos to inspire. What else is there besides musicians setting the world on fire? Jim call Allen! call Martyn! Today is the day.

Hello, hello... First and foremost, you guys have such a fantastically unique sound. I happened across "A Glorious Lethal Euphoria" in a Boarders Music in (appropriately) Hawaii a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. I have dragged both that and "Songs of The Cows" from there to Thailand twice, now to here in Tennesse, and I don't see parting with either of them anytime soon. I love the fact that just the sound alone evokes vivid memories of just about every aspect of every beache I have been to in my life. Thanks for the good vibes. I have to ask - how did you get the sound for "Of The Moo"? I found that when you have the trusty ol' boombox turned up while working on the helicopter, the bass resonating through the airframe is a very interesting experience - especially when it's the blue part of dusk and no one is around to spoil the moment... Lastly, what's up with the band? I've read the posts asking the same question, but there's no replies and the info on the site is a bit old. Selfishly, I hope that this is just a lull, and not something more...terminal. Whatever the case, keep playing guys...whether recorded or not, live or not. Just PLAY. Thanks for the excellent music... Mike (oh, is it still possible to order posters/cd's through the site here? Trying to find the remaining three CD's here in the Midwest seems to be an exercise comic cynicisim, mostly...) :p

Stephen Azevedo (tesla1@uswest.net):

Hey Mermen, First thing is a plea for a concert in Tempe, AZ. Second I need to know if you guys have a song for a SAAB commercial. It's been airing lately and it sure sounds like you guys. Everyone I know that's heard the music becomes a huge fan. Please keep on playing! missing CA... Stuck in AZ Stephen

Sadly, I sense the Mermen no longer exist. Allen sent me a while back saying he and Martyn had been kicked out of the band by Jim "long ago"; Jim: say it ain't so or at least update us. Your music is simply divine, as pure as anything I've ever heard.

L.T. (lantu@email.msn.com):

Hi Allen! What is the status of the band in January 2000? Are you guys still together and when will the new album be out? (Forget this if it is a painful subject.) On another subject, do you have more copies of the "Only You" CD for sale? Thanks - and I hope we see you playing in Seattle....

Hey guys, I have become a rabid fan over the past few years, and myself and 2 friends are putting together a dvd demo for our company, The Pod Media Corporation. We have a short video movie we're using called Pure Friction. This is purely for a demo so that studios and others can see what we are capable of creating through dvd. We would very much like to use some of your music on this demo and wanted to get your feedback on whether you would approve of this. Again, this is not for profit, it's purely for demo purposes. Please let me know what your ideas are. Thanks, James Dineen
