You should've asked the DJ. ;)

I know! I'm sorry about that. I recorded it with an mp3 player at a bar in Berlin called soulcat where they only play 60's vinyl, so at least there's a timeframe...

Thanks!  We'd be honored.  How does one go about submitting a song for the hideout comp series?  Also, which song did you like most?

Not bad! You guys should get busy and submit a song for the Hideout comp series.

Fun Guns said:

I think you might like our stuff.  It's more like the energetic stuff that Ty's known for.  I actually liked Goodbye Bread but it was definitely a change of pace.

I've had the album for a week now and this thread has pushed me to finally crack it open and give it a listen. My first thoughts are that while I don't think it's bad, I doubt I'll listen to it much. My Head Explodes is the highlight for me right now...

Update: Actually this shit is pretty good. It's all just slow in regards to tempo. It has a place in my record collection. It fits a certain mood for sure.

Fun Guns.. I love it. Thanks for the download! Now come play in Cleveland. :)

My favorite Ty project outside of his solo stuff is the Traditional Fools. I love his body of work though and think he's a genius. In some ways I do see parallels to Jay.

As to this record it does stray a tad from his "expected" sound ... leaning slightly away from the garagey thing and a bit towards a more indie sound.. but isn't a negative in this case. He's showing range.  

His evolution has been exciting to follow. I have no doubt he will continue to evolve and give us more.

 (On a side note: I do his hair!) 

i spoke to the guitar tech at the guitarwolf gig in paris, and apparently seiji guitarwolf buys his guitars a few days before his concerts in local music stores, and he deliberately chooses the cheapest! (in his case epiphone sg copies). if it's good enough for the greatest rock'n'roller since link wray, it's good enough for me!

i agree it should have been in bands and musicians, but there you go!

Mardy Pune said:

haha great topic! Should be over in the Bands and Musicians group though.

I've got a '94 Japanese Fender Strat. 62 reissue something. Gutted the pickups out, dropped some decent ones in, gave it a setup and fucking rock n roll she goes!

I love it, it does everything I need it to. Every other guitar I look at is just a cheap whore as far as I'm concerned!

 

 

dear phil, what is cheap G.A.S. syndrome? is it an allergy to expensive guitars?

Phil holloway said:

Sorry,  but I totally disagree with the French chick and tears analogy.  Unless you mean tears of joy.

French chicks who love rock and roll can totally can rock and roll.

Bring it on!!!

But to each his own.

Cottenhead is brilliantly, bravely and honestly expressing something many of us feel and probably have debated about for years but would have never thought to admit to in writing.

Hi ,  My name is Phil and I suffer from cheap G.A.S.  syndrome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dear mr newton, sir. it wasn't a fantasy; i did have an affair with a french chick, and it did end in tears. most apt analogy. what do you recommend for transcendental erotic satisfaction when deprived of a guitar?

Dom Newton said:

I don't think your envy is beneficial to your piece of mind. Think of it like this. Your guitar is your steady girl, your old lady and you know ALL the right moves to squeeze all the joy out of her and make her wail beautifully. A new girl would be good for a while but you'd be going back along the road you've already travelled to get to the same destination.

It's a nice fantasy but like having an a affair with a French chick it would ultimately end in tears. Stick to your weapon of choice for transcendental musical and erotic satisfaction. Peace out, DomThe Raven

:) Last time I saw Link Wray (1997?) he was wielding a Yamaha, if I remember correctly... 

The Dark Rags said:

I think it's all up to the person playing the guitar. I bet Link Wray would look cool rocking an Ibanez.

I have a Peavey JF-1, from what I can tell it's real close to the Buckingham. I like the guitar alot as does everyone else that plays it. Maybe you should get a silver metal flake finish for your strat, like the  silver Gretsch Billy Zoom plays. It would dress it up real nice.

duke cottonhead said:

thanks for the reply john. yeh, i saw a sf band called "moon duo" the other day, and i think he was playing an airline, and the tone was great! that said, i sold a very good strat(which i subsequently recuperated) in order to buy a peavey buckingham because it looked beautiful, and was designed by darrell higham the kick-ass rockabilly player(and guitarist and husband of imelda may). i even added duesenberg p90 pick-ups. a rockabilly-fanatic friend of mine loved the retro sound, but i found it difficult to play(lead at least), seriously lacking in sustain(noblesse oblige-the bigsby), and more importantly lacking the versatility of the strat....a type-cast guitar. i'm back with my strat. i dress her up in fishnet stockings and stilletto heels, but "the thrill is gone". she's reliable; she gets the job done. she knows how to moan. but she'll never be one of those cheap, trashy things.....to my eternal regret....but i love her....my strat....sigh!

Just went through my records and found out I have 45 albums released in 2010. I was "blown away" by many of 'em; Harlem, Jaill, Myelin Sheaths, Moonhearts, Os Haxixins, Outsiders (Dutch), Black Time and more. Now, half a year later, I must admit I hardly ever play any of 'em. It seems I'm a thrillseeker when it comes to music, always looking for a new ride. The exceptions are the Moonhearts, Davila 666 (12" on Rob's House Records) and a occasional Harlem or Jaill. Food for thought..... What are your thoughts on this? 

I really, really like Tad, Malfunkshun, and Green River.  All incredibly underrated.

doubtful. everyone and their mother wants to play at Gonerfest. It's booked by Eric & Zac and very planned out. 

There is sometime a night before show that is unoffically part of the fest.. not sure where that might be this year. Murphys? 

If you want to play at Gonerfest next year send your stuff to Eric in like February or March. They seem to receive a lot of that though. 

Good luck! :)

do any small venues or bars participating in gonerfest 8 have a 45min set available?

I'll be there. Third year running. LOVE GONERFEST more then anything! And YAY Alarm Clocks .. old school Cleveland garage legends! And friends! ( I'm the hairstylist of Tom Fallon and his wife Eileen.) Can't wait!!

One of my favorite bands from the 70s-80s, Billy Piranha and the Enemies (later just the Enemies), is one of the bands featured in the documentary. I tried contacting the director but haven't heard back from him. Anybody have it or seen it?

Best movie quote ever, at least I think it was "DOA".
"So, what do you do? As little as possible!!

Rikki Styxx Rocks!!!!! Thanks for the purty sparkle drum kit!
