I love Jarvis Cocker, especially when he upstaged Michael Jackson. Waggling his arse was a great pop moment!

Talking of the Hacienda, were you into Factory Records? Sadly, it became a victim of organised crime and drug dealers used it as a battleground for turf wars. The police & council forced it to close.

I love New Order and The Stone Roses and as a teenager in the early 90s, I often wished I was partying at the Hacienda instead of languishing in an Atlanta suburb.  I dismissed Oasis as bubblegum singalong. Blur seemed to be the next in line after The Kinks and The Jam to document pure "Britishness" in pop music; however, some of my favorite albums of the time period were: Primal Scream "Screamadelica", Pulp  "Different Class," and Supergrass  "I Should Coco."  The Brit Box is a fun compliation of that era, though inconsistent.   Nowadays I get my Brit fix from the band British Sea Power...

I bought the Rubble 1-10 cd box last week. I guess that doesnt count as its not from a single artist.

I own 10 John Barry 7 45's, 9 Bert Weedon 45's and 8 Sounds Incorporated 45's.  I am still adding to my collection. I love early British Instros.

i wont mention the Cramps after seeing this great collection :-D 

Thanx Rufus...will see you on Apr 21st!!

This has been one of most interesting forum topics for me, as it really shows what obsessive collectors of cool music we have on the garagepunk hideout!!

Keep the posts coming!!!

Dave, I'm in awe of your Cramps collection. I lost about 2/3rds of my Cramps stuff when I moved to Canada and am still building back up my collection. They're a huge band for me. I was a teenage punk rocker who bought Songs the Lord Taught Us in a Virginia Beach record store on a whim 23 years ago and it became the alpha and omega of everything I've listened to since.

Nice one Mr.... I shall be checking up those links.

Hey maybe you guys knew this, i don't know...Greg "Stackhouse" prevost already has a single out in Spain on Penniman Records. Limited to 450 copies. "Mr. Charlie" b/w "Rolling Stone. Just fanning the flames, that's all...

Nick Cave and Bad Seeds did an excellent cover of Running Scared by Orbison on their Kicking Against the Pricks album.

Ok, just to keep the mill running:

The Motors with TILL I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU (which I think does this justice greatly in a psychodelic fashion).

The Spliffs with CLAUDETTE (a fun live version - never heard of these guys before, well same as the Motors)

That sounds so damn brilliant!

"David Comes to Life" by Fucked Up is a complete rock opera that is quite good.  But what's even cooler is that the band also released a companion LP called "David's Town" in which they copied the style of about 15 different made up bands that were from the town where the fictional "David" grew up.  Each band was a fake band with a made up back story and different style (all punk and punk-ish), but they were really all performed by Fucked Up.

When I was in Austin last week I found a used copy of The Billy Childish Native American Sampler: A History 1983-1993. It's a collection of songs and poems about native Americans, including lots of surfy instrumentals.

I thought it was; 'wrapped up like a douche"

Yeah , I thought IT WAS "DEUCE" , BECAUSE , BACK IN THE "70'S" , THE OTHER WORD SEEMED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON THE RADIO, though they probably say it as much as "The " , now. .....BUT , I heard Bruce Springsteen's original version and he REALLY sounded like he was saying "Wrecked up like a DOUCHE".

THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN "BUDDY " MAGAZINE (DALLAS /FT. WORTH)  ABOUT SONGS THAT THEY COULD'NT BELIEVE GOT AIRPLAY - Obvious ones like "Walk on The Wild Side" and less obvious censor - testers like "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship.....Turns out , if you can get thru about six minutes of the painful dirge , it says something about "Remember whenI went down on yoooouuu..." , but , that was intentional....The article listed "Blinded By The Light", as well.

Manfred Man: Blinded by the light. The lyric is revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. For years I thought they were singing Rolled up like a douche.

Mike ,   no , it was'nt here....An English guy and MYSELF , WE WERE DISCUSSING IT, somewhere else. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SPECIFIC. But , yeah , Ducks Deluxe were one of the earlier Pub Rock bands .Their Guitarist , Sean Tyla , caried on in the same tradition under his own name and as Tyla Gang (On Stiff , Skydog and other labels.). Nine Below Zero came out a little later. They're in an episode of "The Young Ones". But , I don't have any of their records ,tho' they turn up occasionally. Another , little known , Pub Rock group was Mean Mr. Mustard. I met one of the former members of the band , which toured with Dr. Feelgood , at a Troggs show , but he's since passed away , unfortunately.

(Last line) My stomach was full as it could be , and no one ever got around to finding Timothy."

"sell his soul for a piece of meat"...  lol.  I think the music does not match the lyrical content, I wanna chew the violin players arm off right now...  Thanks for polluting my life for 3 minutes John.

Gary Panter said this happened in Texas Hall in 76 in Arlington , Texas...Tex Edwards said it was at Moody Collisseum in 73 in Dallas , if I remember rightly....

The event was a T Rex show. I've got a book that lists all their US gigs , and they were'nt listed as having ever played Texas Hall (A great venue , BTW.).

"Fan" : Marc ! You look like SHIT !

Marc Bolan : You'd look like shit , too , if you'd FUCKED as many people as I have .

Sorry so late with this reply, but some labels that spring to my mind that dig the psychedelic stuff as much as the garage stuff would be Trouble in Mind Records in Chicago and Off the Hip in Australia. A few others: Woodsist Records, Sacred Bones Records, Castle Face...

I've used TuneCore to get my releases on all the major online stores (Amazon, eMusic, iTunes, Napster, etc.), and yeah, setting up a Bandcamp store is good, too. TuneCore also takes WAVs (I think that's a requirement, actually). They charge $49.99 per release to get digital distribution to all the stores, which I don't think is too bad. They often run specials, too.

Does anyone know labels which dig beat music???

Have you tried Wormtone Records?
