Do we know a release date as of yet? Can't wait to get it and hope they do a tour for it as well.

I really like it. Even on this shitty tablet I have to use at the moment it sounds good. Sounded a bit more Reigning Sound than Oblivians on first listen but I've heard it a few times now and I'm sold. Need this thing to come out, like, NOW!

Johnny Rad Fest in San Diego, Ca.

There is a great comp of all N.C. Sixties garage called tobacco-a-go-go. It was released around 84. Also check out some of the cool stuff Munster records has.

I just got my copy of "Boobs," and I think it's even better than "Velvet Tinmine." I especially like "Interplanetary Twist" by Screamer (One part Bowie, all the rest Sweet), along with "Good Time Fanny" by Angel and "Baby" by Sensation. I also love the glam slam covers of "Little Bit O' Soul" by Iron Cross and "Let's Go" by Rock Rebellion.

Just got hold of a copy, which really is brilliant. I love every song on it. You don't need to drop acid for this one, as it is acid. ACcccccciiiiiiiid!

Chris, I owe you one!! 

This is the kind of shit a really like to discover now and again! :)
Is this the same band, really? Hard to believe!
AAAAAaacccccciiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddd!

How about some curried Goat, laced with Acid naturally? I heard them in Rough Trade while getting Mum & Dad's Christmas presents.

 

Lovely, i guess i´m gonna add this girls-band to the soundtrack of my coming summer.

After all, the other way round..
Pity i missed this great band back then! Actually very late´70s style, indeed!
Even if the lyrics are different, the subject remains Thalidomide.
I reckon the nofx-one may be more P.C. by comparison?
My english isn´t that good but still, as you appropriately said, i feel "uncomfortable" listening to this great song! Ok, by nofx i feel uncomfortable because of the music, but this is another story ;)


Jane Dear said:

The lyrics aren't really the same save for a few references to limbs.... maybe it's just a coincidence? Raxola came out with this in the 70s and that was NOFX's first demo in the 80s. 

Tersicore said:

Oh, right! its an original nofx! Found.
this cover is great!! even if the lyrics is actually much more uncomfortable.

Jane Dear said:

Not surprised, probably just NOFX lyrics out there. 

Tersicore said:

Thanx Jane!!  
I´m loving this song!!! I understand the most, couldn´t find the lyric, though. 

Jane Dear said:

This song is pretty good at making everyone feel really uncomfortable.

Yeah......And that's saying nothing of "Let It Bleed". But , The Stones could outrage with such style. Like they just did'nt give a rat's ass. "We piss anywhere , man".

I think most of the songs on Sticky Fingers probably offended people at the time.

John Battles said:

I THINK "bROWN sUGAR" MUST have offended people at the time , now , we're all kind of used to it. Jagger tried to push the envelope a little harder by singing "Just like a young BOY should", when he'd sing it , live.

Did we fail to mention Brown Sugar or did I miss it? 

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in new orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should

James Porter said:

John Battles sez: "It's funny that "Satisfaction" was sometimes censored , yet Jagger throws in the "B" word twice on ("Stupid Girl")"

They probably got away with that because "Stupid Girl" was just an album cut. At a time when radio stations were singles-oriented and rarely played album tracks, that was what made the difference.

THAT'S FUNNY !!!! Almost as funny as the guy who posted The Stranglers' "96 Tears" on You Tube, stating it was by The Cramps. It's still up there , by the way , despite several people leaving corrections to the obvious (Intentional?) blunder.   That version, I like OK , i'M A BIGGER FAN OF THE PURPLE HELMETS , THO'.

I actually like The Stranglers' version of "96 Tears," although one of my friends mistook it for Smash Mouth's version of "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby."

:D

Yep, a couple are nice but the coolest? no way!
I admit, i had to peep at wiki to know who Little Steven even is..
Nice prospect!! I´m not saying another word!!  ;)

dave said:

*smack!* Ouch! (to Little Steven)

Tho' I do have to say that Suzi Chunk - Look Back And Laugh grew on me, a li'l bit of the old soul.

Gringo Starr said:

Well, those are the ten coolest songs according to Little Steven. Of course they're cheesy and boring. What did you expect?

Tersicore said:Wondering who at the end won, went to have a look and still can´t believe it!! 

So many cheesy and boring songs on the winners-list!! 
Someone out there with a different opinion?
what do you think of this final outcome?

 1: The Jellybricks - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
 2: Redd Kross - Stay Away From Downtown
 3: Joey Ramone - Rock 'n' Roll Is The Answer
 4: Suzi Chunk - Look Back And Laugh
 5: The Monster Ones - Teenage Ramone
 6: Palmyra Delran - You're My Brian Jones
 7: Prima Donna - Puta Te Amo
 8: The Doughboys - It's A Cryin' Shame
 9: Jack White - I'm Shakin'
10: Branden Daniel and The Chics - Missionary

maybe just at the bottom of the list start to be a bit interesting but actually is frustrating,
if those are suppose to be the coolest songs of current underground garage, i´m uncool!

Best year for rock'n'roll? Let's list a few candidates, I'd say:

1951: Jackie Branston And His Delta Cats (Ike Turner) playing Rocket 88. Hell, it's the first rock'n'roll record ever?

1966: You mention the very things that made it a great year.

1967: The Velvet Underground release the most seminal album ever, changing everything in the process. Everyone who bought it started a band.

1976: UK/US punk fully crystalises.

1993: Jarvic Cocker upstages Michael Jackson.

Gringo Starr said:

1966!

Revolver - Beatles
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
Blonde on Blonde - Dylan
Aftermath - Stones
Freak Out - Zappa
Black Monk Time - Monks
Face to Face - Kinks
Psychedelic Sounds - 13th Floor Elevators
A Quick One - The Who
Fresh Cream - Cream
Fifth Dimension - Byrds
Love - Love
Animalism - The Animals
Boom - The Sonics
The Seeds - The Seeds
96 Tears - ? & The Mysterians
Web of Sound - The Seeds
Psychotic Reaction - The Count V
Turn On - The Music Machine
Jacques Dutronc - Jacques Dutronc
The Remains - The Remains
Small Faces - Small Faces

Another year that was equally remarkable was 1977!

Dear friends and fans of The Metaphysical Circus, I am writing this message to inform you that I have decided to put The Metaphysical Circus on hold for an undetermined amount of time while I concentrate on other things going on in my life at the moment. I have found myself to be too busy with my business and other projects I have taken upon to find the time to compile and air a show on a weekly basis. My life has become far busier than it was back when I started The Metaphysical Circus 8 & 1/2 years ago, and to compile and air the show has pretty much become a burden (but at the same time a labor of love). I love doing The Metaphysical Circus and do plan to resurrect the show sometime in the future, but as for now I need to put the show on hiatus. I would love it if everyone who is "liking" the Metaphysical Circus' facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Metaphysical-Circus-with-The-Eggman-An-Obscure-Oldies-Radio-Program/182326748511750) to remain a friend of the show, as I will most likely go into withdrawals and want to talk about music (and spam you with youtube videos perhaps?). So please, stay my friend and give me time to get my life back to a normal pace before The Metaphysical Circus can return to the airwaves. Thank you all for your support over the past 8+ years!!

by the way...UK based internet radio station Dandelion Radio are running a one hour 'Thatcher Special',  broadcasting daily until the end of the month, times vary but there is a schedule on their website:-

http://www.dandelionradio.com/index.htm

...a couple of the tunes people have posted here feature.....

Plus this one....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-BZIWSI5UQ

....The ironic thing is that "I'm in love with Margaret Thatcher" was (according to the BBC) the subject of a campaign by Thatcher supporters to stop "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" making it to number 1 on the week of her funeral....

Tom Robinson is a saint...(he picked our track "Martians Don't Surf!" For his "BBC introduces Mixtape" show on BBC 6 Music the other week.)...
