Yeah , this came out in about '86. Poison 13 was an early Big Boys offshoot band. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT , THEIR EP INCLUDED THIS SONG , AND VERSIONS OF "PARCHMAN FARM" AND "STRANGE MOVIES". THE SUB POP CD PICTURED HERE , OF COURSE , CAME OUT MUCH LATER. I SAW THEM ONCE , THEY WERE PRETTY ROCKIN' , BUT, BY THE TIME THEY BECAME A "CULT" BAND, YEARS LATER , WITH THE 90'S GARAGE CROWD, I'D LOST INTEREST. THE WASTE KINGS , FROM CHICAGO , DID A BETTER VERSION OF "ONE STEP CLOSER " IN MY PERSONAL OPINION , THOUGH I'M SURE THEY'D DISAGREE.  

'Strange Movies " was almost a standard in Texas (Nervebreakers , T. Tex Edwards with Lithium Xmas and The Swingin' Cornflake Killers , YEAH! YEAH ! YEAH ! with Barry Kooda , etc.).....The Waste Kings , dissed in their day because they could play their instruments, also released a great version of "Strange Movies".

Has anybody else heard this before? Sounds a lot like "Blackout of Gretely" and "Dirty Water." This band also did a cover of "Strychnine."

In Vienna in one month, can't wait for that!

ALSO: "BEAST VIBRATOR" video (Head... explodes....!!):

Alright, played it and it KILLS! Could not have asked for more, but eh, quite impossible to disappoint me if you're Guitar Wolf, haha.

If reference is needed, it has all the good GW stuff in it: The rawcut songs of JET GENERATION and the comicbook tales of the likes of UFO ROMANTICS, topped of with that sweet feedback noise gravy. The cleaner sounds of later albums have been taken back a bit. Songwise, here's some jump in points for ya, should need arise: Ghostly you, robot maria, magma nobunaga, earth vs alien & Female Machine gun.

TRUE!

Mike said:

As he did on the last LP cover too. In fact I think he's wearing one every time I see them or a photo of them these days. They were the first Goner release too.

IDON MINE said:

All that AND he's wearing a GONER records shirt on the cover!

I don't have the album with this song so don't have easy access to any song credits that would be listed. Does anyone know who the woman is who sings on this track. I would have assumed that it is Michelle Mae but since she doesn't sing on this live version posted by K Records, I now assume it's someone else. Is the woman who sings in this video the same person who sings on the studio version? If not, who sings on the studio version and who is singing in this video? Thanks.

Here is the studio version for those who haven't heard it:

No , you can't replace that feeling of going through many , perhaps crappy , records , and finding , as you say , a real gem , or even something you may later come to realize is also a gem , and say , D'OH !!! We are still lucky , here in Chicago , that we still have record stores. When Reckless and Wax Trax were duking it out for vinyl supremacy from about 1989 - 92 , and the smaller stores were still hanging it in , that was the best time , but , even now , we're spoiled , compared to a lot of other MAJOR FUCKING CITIES who should be overwhelmed by the show of support  their record stores are recieving  , only to find , they have no record stores , or damned few. The internet is a greatthing to have, if you don't live near any record stores , or are searching for something rare , but , it's appalling how readily people will turn their backs on their local small businesses.

Hi Alex. The nearest record shop to me since the amazing One Up records in Aberdeen closed 3 months ago is 150 miles away. The situation for independant shops in Britain just now is dire and not gona get any better i fear. All the online stuff is the only way i can source stuff now. Nothing will ever beat the feeling of rifling through records and tapes and uncovering a gem or two. Unfortunately a 300 mile round journey is a treat these days rather than essential. Wot an absolute nitemare!!!

Look, I know I could find all of these records on Discogs, eBay, or Gemm pretty easily, but it's so much more rewarding to find them in person!  I was in Chicago last weekend and found M.O.T.O.'s "Turn Your Head and Cough."  It was pretty exciting.  Always love that moment.  Then when you continue to look through records at the store, you hoard it and make sure no one tries to steal it from you.

I was jonesin' for a copy of "Neil's Heavy Concept Album" by Nigel Planer (As Neil from "The Young Ones".).... had a couple of songs on an old mixtape , and even , to my shock , found the single , (Traffic's )"Hole In My Shoe"b/w "HurdyGirdy Mushroom Man" , at a thrift store. But ,Melissa was good enough to burn me a CD of the album.

I saw an interview with Lemmy , in the 80's , where he was asked if it was true that he was seen with Morgan Fairchild at The Opera....."I HATE bloody Opera. I saw an opera on telly one time , and this bloke was singing about sausages. SAUSAGES!!!!".

Jymn , I did'nt know , before , that you wrote the "Web of Sound" review in Ugly Things. Good review.   I just saw it , yesterday . The mono mix is one Web of Sound you'll want to be mixed in. I like the mono "Full Spoon of Seedy Blues" , too .....you're right , it's an album that does'nt deserve the bad rep it has. First two are still my faves , but , I find myself liking "Full Spoon" more with each listen. Too bad no one will ever re-mix "Raw and Alive".......or will they ?

 It sounds familiar , like some early 80's Psych/Garage WTF thing , but , I can't place it.

Good luck , though , I know it's maddening to have a song in your head , and no details.... 

Hey guys (and girls),

I am not sure, if this is the right forum for my request but I thought I should try it.

I am searching since 3 years for a song I heard at a german festival (not live, only as a background song during a break). Nobody knows that song. Maybe it is an old garage punk song.

Here is my video capture of that song, probably not the best quality, but better than nothing. Some lyrics could be: " you can go and run around and tell them all the truth... I don´t need you ..."

Southside Festival

Ahh, what a nice organ in the background...

Thank you very much for your help!

Best greetings!

Playlist 06/01/13

I will be on the air and the web on Saturday June 1st from 1:00-3:00PM EST.  You can listen on 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu.

run for cover sounds pretty solid, and pretty cool too! like it....

Bought it last night!  Can't wait to play it this morning.

I love all of this stuff!... While The Honey Harlows are on hiatus, I'm doing a 1-man stoner project called ThunderChief ...I record real drum tracks and play live bass thru multi-guitar and bass rigs for maximum volume 11, ala Vitus, Buzzoven, Sleep & Zeni Gava...Definitely schizo-sonic sludge----hails to the ThunderChief!!

Yeah - - thing is though, I was more or less talking about metal music of the 80's - - this was when money was poured into heavy metal and the sub-genre's of the music could be counted on one hand.  Not to say metal's dead - in fact it seems to be doig very well, but certainly that 80's kind of approach to metal is gone.  As for the new stuff - - I kind of tuned out of metal when I found out about groups like Husker Due and SST label bands and now the louder noisier punk bands like Guitar Wolf.

"As for metal" .....are you kidding??! Maybe where you come from, but just Google the words "Metal Fest" and see how much comes up all over U.S. and Europe as a start.  From my side of the continent, Pacific NW and California most certainly haven't seen the last of metal and all derivative forms thereof, i.e, doom, thrash, folk, etc.  Thrash and Doom is VERY big here, in particular. There's actually a resurgence of TONS of good bands lately, including that which has already been mentioned.

Radio What Wave Playlist May 30/2013

1. Simply Saucer...Low Profile...recorded live at CIUT 5/27/07. This was when Simply Saucer got back together (with 2 original members) and decided to start playing again.

12. King Beez...Deathproof...from the CD of the same name.

13. Flying Squad...Think For Yourself...from the Come Out To Play cassette. This one went out to Dr Henry Morgentalar, a man who thought for himself and went to jail for what he believed in! A real hero!!!

I GUESS MOST PEOPLE THINK SO....THERE IS ANOTHER , MORE RECENT "BUBBLEGUM" BOOK , THAT FOCUSES MORE ON BOY BANDS , SPICE GIRLS , BRITNEY , WHOEVER , AND THE ACTUAL LATE 60'S - EARLY 70'S STUFF IS ONLY MENTIONED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. I DON'T THINK KASENETZ - KATZ EVEN GOT NAME-DROPPED. THE "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BAD TASTE " HAD A CHAPTER ON BUBBLEGUM THAT
  MENTIONS UK GLAM ROCK , NOT IN A FLATTERING LIGHT (FUCK EM.) , BUT , MAKES THE POINT , WHICH OTHERS HAVE , TOO , THAT MUCH OF THAT STUFF IS AN EXTENSION OF BUBBLEGUM . BUT,THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT , AND BRITNEY , BIEBER , ETC. , IS GLAM ROCK , LIKE EARLY BUBBLEGUM , IS SO DAMNED CATCHY !
Chris Henniker said:

I've heard of the book, which even covers Eurovision. Aren't people like Britney Spears and a certain Mr Justin Bieber contemporary bubblegum?

I NEVER FOLLOWED THE LEATHER NUN , BUT , I REMEMBER WHEN THEY CAME OUT. MY FRIEND WAS PLAYNG THEIR LP IN A RECORD STORE , AND A PRIEST WALKED IN , AND ASKED HIM WHAT THE NAME OF THE GROUP WAS..... "um.....they're called "The Leather Nun" , Father.". The Priest just chuckled and said , "Oh....interesting.". 
 
Mike M said:

Well, I've just read this whole thread and didn't know half the songs mentioned. However I've a few to add.

The Leather Nun FFA Can't get much more un PC than Gay Fist Fucking.

Then There's the old punk group 'Raped' singing Pretty Paedophiles, I was searching on you tube for that and found these. I'm not even going to look at...

The Paedophiles I wanna Rape You

The White Van Paedophiles- Little Injun Boy Rape

Jeez.

eddie , I like this song , but, why is it politically incorrect?
 Did the Lead Singer say something "Naughty" that's buried under all the other singers' voices?

A lot of Doo Wop groups did do X- Rated versions of songs that were commercially recorded.
