well the sonics used power chords but stuff like gloria is proper chord

on th subject real chords sound more garage it depend ie A7 sounds garagy the way i play it but other voicings less so ,also g open is very un garagy

i like to use a mix

il say the danelectro spring king a proper spring reverb but small

more punk than garage but ,the adverts one hit wonders "i wonder what well play for you to night/somthing heavy or somthing light/somthing to set your soul alight/and i what well do when you say/we dont like you go away" beast of a song.

now that is comedy.

love bahaus tbut the damned blow me away daily

well excluding all pop ,an ill get some stick for it but the seeds-cant seem to make you mine ,sounds like a bady beetles

the organ in the standells some times good guys dont wear white blows me away

im exatly the same as this its wy i have no strat ,but i do have a cheapo strat copy ,its about 20 years old and my diy refin is awsome

check out the horrors sheenas a parasite and go from there (make sure to hear death at the chaple ,count in fives ,gloves ,she is the new thing and there versions of jack the ripper and crawdaddy simone

a garage rock hall of fame is brilliantly perverse id nominate the mummies the gories the sonics the outsiders (of summertime blues fame) the stadells etc

thw cramps where a band.

they where pretty rockin'.

i was a teenage wherewolf is a beast of a song

hit me with the Cramps question(s), brotha'. 

on the subgect of out board reverbs i suggest the danelectro spring king ,its a proper spring rverb in the form of a (albiet reletivly wide )pedal ,AND it has a kick pad to get that cool explosive sound

Looking forward to that, Mr. A. 

Last night I discovered this cool site for Spotify users Sharemyplaylists.com I added all of mine there (17 now!)

YOU GOT GOOD TASTE said:

Watcha Steve

I've got Spotify at work so its on all day, but I have to keep deleting some of the BAD TASTE selections chosen by my staff!!

Now i've got some quick and easy playlists  a la Mr T, thanks.

I've got to read the help thingy you've posted cos i really havent given the spotify thing much time and didn't realise you could share lists, D'Oh.

I'll concentrate a bit more and send over my playlist when i've added a few, keep in mind that it will be customer friendly!!!

ps been away a week so I'm gonna catch up with the podunk show soon.

Just posted this on my music blog.

I was just getting used to the Amazon and Google music clouds when along comes Spotify. For the past couple of weeks or so, this is where I've been listening to most of my music.

And creating playlists has become one of the most addictive internet time-wasters I've ever  indulged in.

Basically Spotify allows you to stream about 15 million (!) songs. The whole song, not just 30-second clips. And not just well known groups -- lots of bitchen obscurities.

If you're on the free plan, which I am at this point,you have to endure an occasional audio ad. (Most of these currently are house ads telling you about various features of Spotify and urging you to upgrade to a pay plan. A few spots by record companies turn up

Other people have written better beginners' guides to Spotify than I could do. (Here's one).

I just wanted to post links to my playlists. Subscribe to your favorites. Most of them will be evolving as new stuff is added. Here they are:

* Big Enchilada Super Smashes:  A sampling of songs that have been played on The Big Enchilada podcast.

* Psychedelic '60s: An hour or so of late '60s psychedelia, mainly stuff they played on the radio in 67-68.

* Psychobilly Madness: Greasy punks with stand-up basses. Hotrods! Switchblades!  Zombies!

* Rock 'n' Soul: Everywhere I go from Kansas City up to Maine, Rock 'n' Soul Music's driving people insane!

* Frank Furter's Fave: A tribute to the American hotdog.

* The Great Country Albums: From Marty Robbins to The Waco Brothers, some of my favorite country albums of all time. (No "greatest hits" compilations here. These are all albums that were meant to be heard as such.) 11 hours of music here!

*  Country Underground : Call it underground country, call it XXX country, call it the music Nashville does NOT want you to hear (hey, that sounds familiar!) Here's an hour or so of the stuff

* '70s Country Jukebox: An hour's worth of country classics (and some shoulda-been classics) that they actually used to play on AM country stations.

* Alt Country, The First Generation: This is country rock from the mid '60s through the mid 70s.

* Gospel Glory: I went nuts with this one. Six hours of Lord-praising, soul-saving Black gospel, mostly from the 40s and 50s, though I've got some great Staples Singers tunes in here.

* Remember the Fabulous '90s: Grunge and more. Mostly early '90s stuff.

* Songs I Heard on My Transistor Radio: I almost called this my "Measles Mix" because when I caught the measles in the early '60s (I was in third grade) I found solace and discovered a whole new world of music in a little transistor radio my mom gave me. It wasn't much bigger than my iPod is now. At first it was just a way to escape the boredom of having to stay home from school but being too sick to hang out with friends. The music became an obsession. Come to think of it, it still is. Here are some of the songs from the pre-Beatles '60s that led me to become the rock 'n' roll maniac I am today.

Cool. Thanks. Hope you enjoyed it

Jim Jones Revue, Hell Yeah!!!! Album of the year, in my opinion.  hope for rock and roll again.  

Jim Jones Revue - Burning Your House Down.  This record gives me hope in rock and roll.  This is the shit!!!!!!!  LIttle Richard meets Jerry Lee Lewis at a Poison 13 show right before the Stones play Altamont. That's the vibe I get, brotha's and sista's!!!!!

Human Eye - They Came From The Sky

Niagara remains kick ass :):):)

It is the same here in Paris... well, the Fleshtones can fill a 500person venue here.

If i were in NYC , i surely have bought my tickets on the first day, but i didn't know since 2 weeks ago , i could have had a chance to go there... I' ve just went to NYC in june ! and i've just seen 1 show ! which was the punk 77 copycat night at Otto's (great show).

I wish i could go back in time and took my holiday during the fest !! life's unfair !

Rinjo Njori said:

This is NYC and Garage Rock shows for the big boys (Dirtbombs, Gories, Black LIps, etc. ) fill places like the Bowery, but bands like The Woggles, Fleshtones,etc. can barely fill a 100 person venue. Reigning Sound played at the Bell House but I missed the show.
The Bellhouse is great, not too big and not too small. It's rectangluar, but the stage is on the long side so no matter where you stand your pretty close to the stage. I would guess there will be more out of towners than actual New Yorkers.

Pat said:

Does anyone knows how many tickets are available ?? is the venue big enough ??

 

i 'll try to figure how to get there, i've just come back from NY two weeks ago !!!!

Reining Sound also doing a show on Wed night 9th at Maxwell's in Hoboken with Jackie & The Cedrics - only 15 bucks

if/when i need an outboard id get an original '63 fender one or if i couldn't get hold of a good condition (ie working ,aestheticly i thing scratches and tears and a certain garagey somthhing) id buy the reissue or id look into the danolectro spring king ,whicch is a genuine ,albiet miniturised , spring reverb in a pedal about a standard depth /hieghy and about as wide as 2 or 3 boss pedals ,plus it has kick pad that when you step on it makes the explosive sound you get from kicking a full sized one

I agree: those GFS pickups are great. Myself and several of my fellow gear/tech/guitar-head friends all agree. 

The GFS Dream 90s are also great. An aficianado friend of mine says he'd take those over the Trons any day.

Probably not, most people like that don't seem to understand irony.

I enjoy disco culture for the inherent hilarity of the movies, the fashion, the music; some of it is good music, but even the horrible stuff has some Narmy charm, you know?  And Skatetown U.S.A. might be one of the best bad movies ever made.  But then it was after my time, so maybe not living through it helped with that.

MikeL said:

That's part of it.  Of course, a lot of people also hated it because they just thought the music was horrible.  One friend of mine complained that he thought it had no soul to it.

 

That reminds me...one of the things I find amusing about "Saturday Night Fever" is that John Travolta and his little gang come across as so tough and macho, and they're all rather racist and homophobic, and yet they dance to music comes from both black and gay subculture.  Go figure.  Another funny moment was in the movie "Detroit Rock City," in which those kids on their way to a KISS concert in 1978 have a run-in with a couple of macho disco guys, and the KISS kids beat them up and put KISS make-up on them, and once disco guy says to the other, "You got the fag make-up on."  I wonder if any disco fans who were like that back then ever noticed the irony.
