Two song I hate myself for liking to sing:

 

"N-word Rich" by the Oblivians

"P*ssy Stank" by Andre Williams

 

Both songs are really catchy and are great groovers, but being African-American male who really loves women, I just can't be singing those songs while walking down the street.     

Right, thanks. It's the Revenge albums I have with the Bob Mitchum and John Wayne covers and they are called 1st to pay and 2nd wave. They were on Spotify even which is where I first heard them.

 

Looking at the track listing for The 1st and the last it's made up tracks from the Revenge albums so I guess it's bits from 2 gigs. Sad; I hoped there was another recorded gig I hadn't heard.

 

I know it's not Radio Birdman but with 3 members playing in New Race and quite a few Birdman numbers I can't imagine any Birdman fans not loving New Race. It's the drums i love; Thompson is pretty full on. Having said that Ron Keeley is a magnificent drummer. It's just nice to hear the Birdman 3 enjoying playing with their heroes. 

 

Still haven't see Radio Birdman. Hope I get the chance one day.

The LP , "The First and The Last" by The New Race came out not long after their one tour of Australia, and their only tour , ever. The band is not to be mistaken for Radio Birdman . They were 3 key ex - members ,  with special guests , Ron Asheton and Dennis Thompson. A CD reissue WAS RELEASED MANY YEARS LATER , with a couple of bonus tracks , that's true.    Revenge Records in France put out two LPs (One with Robert Mitchum on the cover , the other with John Wayne....I forget the titles , don't have 'em handy , right now.), later on , from two different gigs on that tour . I'm sure , they , too , could have been reissued with different titles , on CD . Not sure. THERE'S PROBABLY BOOTLEGS , TOO , THO' REVENGE HAS BEEN CITED AS AN ILLEGIT OPERATION , THEMSELVES (They have put out great stuff , tho').

Hi.

 

3rd album which you think is actually the 1st album "The First & The Last"! ;)

The remastered CD has 2 bonus tracks.  Anyway, it's worth getting!

 

 

Hi fans of Radio Birdman, Stooges and MC5,

 

I have the New Race albums 1st To Pay and 2nd Wave but I've read somewhere on this forum of a 3rd album. The 2 I have are amazing so can anyone tell me anything about the other album which I have no info about?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

I've been enjoying The Night Beats' new album Sonic Bloom lately. They're somewhere between Thee Oh Sees and The Black Angels

 

I have been doing a garage punk psych new wave radio show since 1982.  I am on ALTERNATING Saturdays from 1:00-3:00PM EST. The show is on 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu.

 

Playlists and show dates can be found here:  http://garagepunk.com/forums/topic/1459/punk-garage-radio-show-from-roch/view/page/4

 

I usually post to this forum a few hours before the show and on Facebook. 

 

Mad Jack & The Hatters:

 

 

 

 

There was really bad disco and really bad punk, such as The Pork Dukes and The English Monks, who were an offshoot of The Strawbs ( a prog rock band).

Just a thought: With all the drugs in the disco scene and AIDS, is it any wonder why many kids became straight edge?

At the time as a kid I hated it but then again punks scared me. Now i like some of it. It sounds like it came from a happy carefree, almost innocent time, a bit like glam rock does. I know the times were not like this but then again for gay New yorkers it was a time when they had been legitimised somewhat but before AIDS.

 

Disco Sucks seemed unkind. Of course there was shit like Disco Duck but there were some great funky grooves and proto-techno (especially from the euro scene). Don't forget there was shit bandwagon jumping punk too (1988 Activator by Steve Hillage or the Monks (not the 60s tonsured Monks).

 

I can't get into the superstar dj thing myself but think about it; suddenly you could make huge crowds dance without musical virtuosity or much equipment. It was music of the people before Studio 54 and similar elitist attitudes ruined it.

 

So love your disco and love your punk; they were both revolutionary.

Lil' Pete said:
I'm too young to appreciate disco's hey day but from what I've read, a lot of anti-disco mentality at the time had to do with society being rather racists and homophobic since disco was born of the two subcultures in America.

Not neccessarily, there were also legitimate artistic reasons to be critical of disco that were overlooked. Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys likened Disco to the cabaret of Weimar Germany, he regarded it as apathetic and politically disconnected. Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo likened it to "a beautiful woman with a great body and no brains" (Ris Low, anyone?), which is quite unfortunate. I even think of one of disco's descendents, Lady Gaga, as quite vaccuous and superficial. She portrays herself as avant-garde, but I find her so formulaic that she seemingly has no original creative thoughts of her own. She just copies what went before and everyone thinks she is original, look at the meat dress as a case in point (it was created in the 1980's).

 

Personally, I think Madonna should retire because someone old enough to be my mother acting like a 19 year old stripper on stage makes me cringe. Her act doesn't shock, I find it contrived and formulaic. Tim Westwood is the same, an aging ang moh acting like he is from South Central Los Angeles, with this patronising "down with the youth" spiel. I think he's just another Smashie and Nicey, though someone told me he was just another version of Jim Davidson with tunes for the kids.    

I think GG is a compelling character, but even more so were the other members of the Murder Junkies esp drummer Dino Sex. Strangely a good place to start I reckon isn't a record but is the Hated dvd for good insights into the characters. A dvd called live and pissed shows him in a much more dynamic setting going pretty apeshit and not just shambling around trying to hit people like a punch drunk old boxer. It's a pretty tense affair with the audience as interesting as he is. 

 

music wise, he's a bit hit and miss in my opinion. My advice is go to Spotify first as there's loads there. Youtube has got some cool stuff too. One of my favourite clips was of someone pissing on GGs grave and Merle his brother sauntering down and smacking said 'fan' over the head with his acoustic guitar!

 

I have 'you give love a bad name' which is pretty rough but wth some good stuff and some scary as hell stuff (I'm a rapest (sic)). The ROIR hated in the nation set has demos and live recordings. He even did a country album. Some of his stuff is pretty duff like the sub sub heavy metal of 'live fast die fast' and its funny as hell video.

 

GG's trouble I think was that he would ruin things by going on Gerry Springer type shows being a wild punk rocker; he should have retained some mystique.

The MC5 are cool, the Stooges are cooler. Who'd win a fight? The Stooges but only cos Scott Asheton would take them all on single handed. Iggy would have beat himself up, Ron Asheton would have hid and Dave Alexander would have been drunk and sniggered in a snide kind of way! 

Hi

 

I read that 3 tracks didn't get used on Ya Know. 1 is Duke of Earl which is on Youtube, but what about the other 2? what are they and can they be listened to/ downloaded anywhere?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Rudi Protrudi surely although  Lance D'Boyle from the Poison Girls is a good one. I was in a band once with Zen Spacker which still makes me smile.

Thanks. I'll check these out.

If you go to the main forum view for Shakin' Street and do a search from within this forum for "radio," you can find a lot of topics about various radio shows. Here are a couple that compile some various shows, though:

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I seem to remember someone compiling a master list of known GaragePunk-oriented radio shows. Is that still floating around here anywhere? I'd likle to publish such a thing on my music blog..

If there's not such a list available, maybe we could start compiling one right here.
