Cool. Yeah, here in the greater Detroit area, we don't really hear much of what is going on in other parts of the state. We know there are things going on in Lansing and Kalamazoo (I live in Ann Arbor and, even though the scene here is good in comparison to most parts of the state, it still isn't very thrilling, considering this is the home of the MC5 and Stooges). But, I know that cool things can happen anywhere, as long as there are a motivated few, many cool things can happen. I am just surprised I've never heard of Ice Pick. 

right on.

I can't stand old bands getting back together. A few exceptions (urinals, sonics, monks), but generally it's just a sad attempt to make a few bucks in the autumn years. S'ry.

Well, getting back to the topic (sorta)...

I think Demian's album was better than the Bubble Puppy's.
And yes, I know it's the same four guys on both LPs.
As much as I love Bubble Puppy's "Hot Smoke & Sassafrass" (and the B-side, "Lonely"), I think Demian has the edge.

WELL , i SEE WHAT YOU MEAN , BUT , OUT OF ALL THE REFORMED 60'S GARAGE - ERA BANDS (AND I DID A THREAD ABOUT THIS) , ONLY A COUPLE WERE REALLY , REALLY BAD. BESIDES THE GREENFUZ , I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO ELSE WAS.....But , I have a friend who thought he was going to blow the minds of all his Old School Punk Rock FRIENDS BY PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCING THAT HE LIKES ABBA. I had to tell him , even Abba has Punk cred in some circles ,  now , so , don't expect anyone to be shocked.Sorry , we were talking what we DON'T like (Not that I particularly like Abba.) . More on that , later......

In a Spongebob episode you have John Lurie fishing together with Jim Jarmusch.

Lux Interior was in an episode of Spongebob as the singer of a band called the Bird Brains. I haven't seen it, should probably check it out.

You're asking the wrong person.....Because I will BORE the Hell out of you with my wealth of useless information.....

JOE BARBARA , OF HANNA - BARBARA , was Vince Taylor's Brother - in - Law . He bankrolled his career on early Huckleberry Hound profits. I always thought JET SCREAMER , the teen - Rock ; n'Roll Idol from "The Jetsons" was based partly on Conrad Birdie and partly on Vince Taylor(The over- the - top campiness in his voice - BAYBEH BAYBEH BAYBEH ! OH OH OH !). Actually , I believe Birdie's character was ripped more from Taylor than Presley........And , who was ready to forsake ol' Alfred E. Neuman with JFK's hair (Bobby Rydell.)  , like she would have given the latter a second glance in real life?

Yep. "Ann Margrock".

So , The Flintstones had Rock Roll , singing "The Bedrock Twitch" .

Hi- Fi (Fred in disguise) - "Listen To The Mocking Bird".

Pebbles and Bam Bam - The Xian - themed "Let The Sun Shine In" (Covered , later , by VERY scary puppets on a Jimmy and Tammy  Faye  Baker LP.).

Hoagy Carmichael (In cartoon form) "Yabba Dabba Do"

The Golden Smog - Lame Beat /Trad Jazz . Fred SiTS IN on "When The Saints Go Marching IN".

THERE WAS A SWEDISH GROUP THAT DID A MOCK - SWEDISH "YABBA DABBA DO" song.

Fred and Barney led an international Boy Scouts' convention on "Old Macdonald" . Bound to offend someone.

That Shindig article must have mentioned "Shinrock!" The Flintstones ' parody of the still - current "Shindig ! " TV show , with host Jimmy O'Neil doing the voice - over for his own cartoon countenance , and introducing , yep , The Beau Brummelstones. 

Pebbles and Bam Bam had their own Saturday Morning Cartoon show in the 70's , and they , and their teenage friends , had a band. Sally Struthers did the voice of Pebbles and sang all , or most of her parts on the songs.  Her Dad did'nt approve of her hanging out with "Dem Stone - Age weirdos".

The show was revived in the late 70's. There was one episode with the most pathetic KISS parody imaginable (Even moreso than KISS , themselves , today.) , called "The Cavemen". One had an orange afro , the other , green . One rolled his eyes , the other wiggled his ears. Fred and Barney are called in to impersonate the duo , singing their "Hit" , "We're gonna rock all day , we're gonna roll all night , we're the Cavemen , yeah ! Yeah! Yeah ! ALL RIGHT !".

Then , you had The Archies , Josie and The Pussycats , The Groovie Ghoulies , Fat Albert and THE Junkyard Band ,  Osmonds and Jackson 5 cartoons , Rick Springfield even had his own cartoon show "Mission Magic" , when he had one American hit under his belt , and barrel -scrapers like Butch Cassidy and The Sunset Kids , The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan , The Brady Kids , PARTRIDGE FAMILY 2200 AD (No involvement from Shirley Jones or David Cassidy. Can you blame 'em?) , and so many others.....

Prior to that , The Beatles had their own cartoon show , and there was a funny animal band show , "The Beagles". Scooby Doo featured Jerry Reed , Davey Jones , Sonny and Cher and others , in cartoon form.....They also had a band called Tabatha and Adam and The Clowns , Samantha and Darren's offspring as young adults in a Rock group ( THERE WAS A BEWITCHED CROSSOVER ON "The Flintstones" , as well.). The Cattanooga Cats were a travelling, "Cat" Rock group in flashy 60's threads . They're notorious , today , for their song , "My Birthday Suit" . LOOK IT UP.

I can't think of any Cartoon bands that'd fall under the heading of "Garage Rock" , tho'....

But , after ice cream and Horror movies , cartoons are Roky's greatest passion. That's good enough for me.

Yes! It was puppets , not cartoons , but , no matter. IT WAS A THREE PIECE PUPPET BAND , THEY WERE BIRDS , AS I RECALL....ONE LOOKED LIKE LUX , ANOTHER LOOKED LIKE KID CONGO , BUT, THEY WERE'NT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE CRAMPS. The Cramps were also on "Chic - A - Go - Go " in 1997 , being interviewed by the puppet host , Ratso. You can see that on You Tube.

I was just reading an article in Shindig about bands appearing on the Flinstones (of course they had to add the stone-age puns...Beau Brummelstones, Ann-Margrock) and it got me thinking about bands appearing on cartoon shows. Does anyone know of any other cartoons that actual bands have appeared on, or have a favorite moment?

I grew up on the Simpsons, so naturally my favorite moment is when the Ramones wish Mr. Burns a Happy Birthday...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4KgVckgItw

I couldn't find the full clip in English, and the lines prior to and after the song are too great to skip, so here it is in Spanish, with translation provided below:

Smithers: Here are several fine young men who I'm sure are going to go far. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Ramones!

Joey: Hey, I'd just like to say this gig sucks!

Johnny: Yeah, up yours Springfield

(Joey counts off, goes into song)

CJ: Go to hell, you old bastard.

Marky: Hey, I think they liked us!

Burns: Have the Rolling Stones killed.

Smithers: But sir, those aren't the-

Burns: Do as I say!

what kind of music are you playing?

i am having intermittent tone troubles with my Bandmaster, and i will eventually get it looked at. but for now i would like to explore some other sounds anyway.

Side note- I purposely avoid studying gear the same way i avoid "mastering" scales/ the fret board. i don't know what my theory is really, but it seems to take some of the rock and roll out of it, to me.

so... i am a craigslister, and out looking for a used midsize / back up amp. lightweight would be awesome. and maybe i should get something known for dependability, since the bandmaster is letting me down lately.

any suggestions?

How "hiphop" garage can be ??

is there garage cover of hiphop song??

This is the first time I've heard any Oh Sees, and I've gotta admit it's not too shabby, kinda spacey and headbangin' , like that Butthole Surfers video 'Who Was In My Room Last Night'.

Bizarre video, tho'.

It does sound like the news is a practical joke, but even if he does, who cares?

thee oh sees are the band number one these days if we are talking about originality and pure and pure rock n roll spirit. maybe their last record isn't great (havent check it) but they release like 2-3 albums per year. so beat that haters

Plus , Dylan comes off incredibly rude in "Don't Look Back" , so you could say , maybe , his contempt for the interviewer , is a proto - Punk stance. Maybe.

The members of Love were often percieved the same way.

The lukewarm response towards Dylan surprises me on this website, but contrariness abounds in the world of punk and garage.  Well, Dylan is a master contrarian.

"crunch" is probly the most likely thing to grab me off the street. usually from great guitar tone, but crunch can come from vocals, too. (think modest mouse). then it takes attitude to keep me interested. i don't mean you have to snarl, and head bang, but this pop punk thing that has spawn from the seatle scene bores me. there is no soul to it. no real anger, but what they think anger/ angst is supposed to looks like. it parallels porn.

When are you lot going to obtain a DAB, satellite and FM licence?

Hello - might I humbly suggest you give Dandelion Radio a listen? We 're 'inspired by John Peel', voted no. 1 place to find new music by the Louder Than War blog, and official home to John Peel's Festive Fifty. Plus, there's usually some garage, psych and rock n roll on my show every month.

Let me know if you get the chance to listen

I had forgotten about this place(which is a shame, the discussion is a lot better than on a lot of other music boards).  Hope there's another Hideout Comp soon so I can submit a track from my band.

The eating ice cream in front of the TV and the short temper were the exactly the same things that Entertainment Weekly picked up when the did a review in this latest issue.

I think the hair and clothes are fitting.  It jumps around a bit in the trailer so it's hard to tell for sure if the years match but I'm gonna guess that David Chase paid a little more attention than most when it came to detail.  Can't say anything about the sound yet of course, but gear looks OK too.

I just saw it and liked it.  Of course, I'm biased because I like David Chase for "The Sopranos" and Little Steven for you-know-what.  Don't know how anyone else here will react if they check it out.  The ending was weird and kind of sad, but I still liked it.

I saw shades of Tony Soprano in James Gandolfini's character, i.e. whenever he lost his temper, when he ate ice cream while watching TV, and when he worked the grill during a birthday barbecue.  One big difference was that his standard of living was a lot more modest than Tony's.  His wife in this movie reminded me of Tony's mother, i.e. really fucked in the head.

BTW, I thought Bella Heathcote was really cute, and the little sister of the band's lead singer blossomed quite nicely at the end.  

I'll leave it up to everyone else to debate the authenticity of the band's clothing, hair styles, gear, and sound, along with the song choices for the soundtrack.
