    • almost never which is pretty lame. But whats worse is when you finally meet someone who likes the same music and they're really annoying.

    • I rarely if ever meet anyone with my musical tastes up here in Idaho. I live in a town of about 7800 people in the mountains, the nearest record store is 45 miles away. My husband likes some of the same music, and when I play something he hasn't heard before he usually (not always) likes it, same with my daughter.

      not really a quote per say, but it has come to be one of the most quoted/memorable lyrics I can think of

    • MONEY , as well as interest , are two big hurdles to get over.....I agree , it should have been done ,by now....There was a documentary on PBS , hardly all - inclusive , but , done with their hearts in the right places...on the history of American Garage Rock. Very low budget , but , it should've been a rallying point for similar documentaries....It featured Sky Saxon , Jimy Sohns and Joe Kelly (Shadows of Knight) , and was co - hosted by Bun E. Carlos (Once in a Garage band.), and shot in Wisconsin , largely in a flea market.

    • I think you're right , much like a  lot of individual cities' "Scenes" from the Late 70's - Early 80'S are getting the documentary treatment....

      Well, to be done right, it would have to be enormously comprehensive. With thousands of garage bands sprouting up all over the world from '65 thru '67, it would be quite a task. The best way to go about it would be to do a series of documentaries and focus on regional scenes, such as Texas, the Pacific Northwest, Michigan, Australia, etc. Sort of like how the later volumes of the Pebbles comps were focused.

    • The Do The Pop comp is absolutely essential. Australian garage rock featuring Radio Birdman, The Saints, and loads of other great bands!

    • My ultimate fave tune under two: Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs "Stay"

      Also it's the only song to hit #1 on the US charts recorded in my town over 50 years ago!

    • Hey.

      1963 Watkins Rapier (Fender Jag is best)

      In order:

      Jangle Box compressor

      Supa-Trem tremolo unit

      Tech 21 Character series Blonde

      Digitech Digiverb pedal reverb (63 re-issue spring reverb tank is best)

      Tech 21 PE60 poweramp combo

      I certainly get the sound & flexibility with this but single coils & fender amps & a heap of attitude & you can't go far wrong. Cheers.
