I found a live recording from back in the 60's at the Hollywood Bowl a while back on the net... Way cool performance, immaculate energy produced by the original line-up! Couldn't be matched in the later years by whatever randoms playing for Saxon...

Some have mentioned - Ty Segall, very prolific, mostly low-fi, loud, fast and killer melodies. The newest Album - "Slaughterhouse" is like a live studio album, with his touring band, including 2 members of the moonhearts. They are still streaming it live on SPIN Mag website if ya wanna check it out, I recommend the cover of "Diddy Wah Diddy" or "Muscle man" for a quick tatse. Ty Segall new Album

Suedehead! Very good SoulSka... for the rude boy in us all !!!!

Cheap Freaks, Bury Them All. Trashy garage punkabilly/countryblues. Crampsy,surfy, psychedelic and with a 60's feel to it. Quite accessible and catchy yet GOOD and the album is inexpensive too.

Show #384: "The Eggman Collection #118"
NOTE: Due to an illness in my family which has me a little distracted at the moment, plus working 50-plus hours a week, I will be doing only Eggman Collection specials in the next couple of months until things slow down in the fall. I'm calling it "The Back-To-Back Eggman Collection End Of Summer Super Spectacular!"
The Eggman Collection is basically a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 118th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: The Dave Pike Set, The Mynah Birds, The Mint, Earth Opera, Man, Junior's Eyes, The Monkees, Yes, Queen, The Angels, Giles Giles & Fripp, Mecki Mark Men, Vanilla Fudge, David Bowie, The Buckinghams, Justin Heathcliff, Amon Duul II, The Deviants, Frank Zappa, The Zombies, The Creation, Lynn Blessing, and many others!!

Anyhow, I found myself pondering this question A LOT this morning, trying to come up with the perfect playlist song-by-song. I came to the conclusion that there are several variables to be taken into account - whether it's a brisk sunny morning and you're on your way to the gym or the beach, a grey afternoon and you're stuck in the after work traffic, of if it's a cool evening stroll, destination unknown. To me, the answer would be drastically different on each occasion.
But, based on the commute this morning (it was a bit chilly but sunny outside), I would have to say that in the ideal situation I would've:
- started off with some good ole 70s/80s power pop, as that tender, not-quite-awake-yet state of being calls for some sweet, up-beat melodies (btw, I consider it important not to put the music on before stepping out of the door, but preferably just as you breath in the first of the fresh morning air):
POINTED STICKS - PART OF THE NOISE
THE RUBINOOS - I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND
- then, around the time I got on the bus, feeling energized and positive, I'd crank it up a notch, and the person sitting next to me would just have to deal with my lip-syncin'-head-boppin'-eyes-closed demeanor:
RADIO BIRDMAN - MURDER CITY NIGHTS
THE KIDS - THIS IS ROCK 'N ROLL
PAGANS - WHAT'S THIS SHIT CALLED LOVE?
- finally, getting off the bus and taking the short walk to the office, I would pull out all guns and yank my neck like crazy with my fists in the air, parading my armpits to everyone present:
TEENGENERATE - DRESSED IN BLACK
Then, when I got to work I'd be like "What? Those stats don't add up? That meeting's been cancelled? We're going bankrupt? SO THE FUCK WHAT, BRING THE MOFO ON! I'M READY! YEEEEEEEAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Holy shit - I really gotta try this out one of these mornin's...)
August 9, 2012 8:24 PM CDT
I used to think it was "Where the beer cans shine". Is'nt it "Real o - mind"?
Believe it or not , I have an old 16 WITH THE LYRICS to "Down on The Street" and a pic of IG with his dog collar !

My favotite song to start out down the street with my ipod (I listen to tapes on my Walkman more often , if anything , these days.) is "I Don't Believe in Anything" by The Nevebreakers. Mainly because it's the first song of theirs that turns up , but , also , it's a good one to face the hordes out on the street with....

While I'm walking down the street? Usually it's whatever song is playing in my head at the time.

Dunno if this is already old news for everyone, but since I couldn't find an existing topic for it, here goes:
In The Red Records Facebook announcement:
"This new un-named band recorded a single this week at NY Hed studios. Mick Collins, Bob Bert and Kid Congo Powers. Sounds awesome!!"
The Great Uncles of Garage Rock! WIPPEEE! This should be sweeet...

Glad you all liked it. Will keep looking for more gems like this and get them on here.
August 9, 2012 3:03 PM CDT
I really enjoyed Mo Foster's book on his life in the music industry "Seventeen Watts". It's a sort of mixture of a collection of interviews, anecdotes and gear descriptions, about the early days of British Rock and Roll and Mo's career as a session bass player through the late sixties to the eighties.....it seems to have got stupidly expensive at the moment....hopefully it will get a reprint......
August 9, 2012 2:27 PM CDT
I really like The (International) Noise Conspiracy a lot. The Mainliners are pretty great too. Mando Dio's first couple of albums had a nice garage/punk feel.
August 9, 2012 2:24 PM CDT
O and I forgot: another Geraldine album is mentioned "Abenteuer Eisenbahn". (All Music describes it's genre as: pop/rock, children's ??), but it's unclear to me if it was ever released. Anybody out there who ownes it?
August 9, 2012 9:36 AM CDT
In 2001 Geraldine from (as far as I know) Athens, Ohio, made a speedy, grungy blues punk masterpiece called "Pure Bastard Rock". After that: Nothing.
Does anybody know what happened to them?
August 9, 2012 3:58 AM CDT
Man I wish they would announce some dates... It's been so long just Greg running circles around the subject in interviews etc. Of course Reigning Sound is also working on an album, so we'll see which will come out first. I interviewed Greg for the Finnish Webzine NRGM a couple of weeks a go. He only wanted to do it via email, so I'm still waiting to hear back from him. Man it would be cool if he would make some sorta announcement...
KILL A PUNK FOR ROCK'N'ROLL!!
