  I know what you mean about coming up with laundry lists of historical innacuracies , tho' Spike Lee beat these guys to the punch with "Summer of Sam", CBGBs Punk rockers with giant mohawks , liberty spikes , and green hair , in 1977 ! I asked my Sister - in - Law , who went to CB's , Max's , etc. , as early as 1976 , if she EVER saw a mohawk in New York in '77. She said MAYBE RICHIE STOTTS WAS WORKING ON HIS VERY FIRST ONE , BUT , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FLAT , TRAVIS BICKEL NUMBER. That's so weird about using Joey's solo material. I'd have rather just heard a band trying to approximate The Ramones sound , if they could'nt get the rights to their back catalogue , even though I like Joey's posthumous solo albums.

 

 

Yeah, it was just too much. I can understand changing certain thing to make a story more appealing or something...but the a lot of inaccuracies seemed to come down to just laziness. Like when Joey said "we have 4 new songs", but only named 3....you think SOMEBODY on set would've pointed out that "I don't wanna be learned/I don't wanna be tamed" is actually only one song. haha!

 

I agree with the idea of a band just imitating the ramones sound....it would've made a lot more sense to just get a track of someone hitting a 3 barre chord riff over a 8th note 4/4 beat. Somehow the idea of a 1974 Ramones playing "I got Knocked Down but I'll get Up" (with hilly looking on with a "these kids are goin places" expression on his face)  was just brutal to watch.

 

A bit of random trivia: did you know that the movie "Top Gun", was loosely based on the experiences of Deniz Tek as a jet pilot?  His callname, Iceman, also inspired some of the nicknames of the characters in the movie.

Tek is truly an interesting and debonaire rock & roller. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with him many times; he often visits the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area where I live due to his history and friends and makes time to perform "homecoming" rock shows. He enjoys telling stories of his childhood spent riding his bike around town, etc. It is pretty cool, because when he visits, all the Detroit/Ann Arbor/etc. local legends come out of the woodwork and hang and catch the shows.

I did'nt see the picture oF DENIZ , EARLIER , THAT YOU PUT UP. That's great !

i WAS WORKING ON A LIST OF  Airborne Rockers , for Roctober magazine.

1) Deniz Tek. (USAF).

2) JOHNNY CASH (USAF)

3) Mark Griffin - MC 900 FT. JESUS , LITHIUM XMAS , TELEFONES  ( Commercial pilot. His career got cut short when low flying planes were prohibited after 9/11.).

4) The guy in Iron Maiden.

5) Wilko Johnson (For trying to fly a plane with no previous Pilot training.).

SWT, thanks for the song, thats VERY Lou especially the screeching autoharp, very cool!

Billy's great. He comes to Santa Fe ever so often to do gigs with Turner. He posts a lot of interesting stuff on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/bb555m512

Gregg Turner or Howie " We Own The Air" Klein: Do you like Lou Reed , Roky?

Roky : Sure , I'm the only one that can hold him in his hand , sure.

Thanks for posting. I was just talking about Bill "Billy Angel" Miller with a friend the other day. I like this , tho' the feedback's killin' me. I KNOW , THAT'S THE IDEA.

Here's the song "I Dreamed I Met Lou Reed" by my pal, ex Angry Samoan Gregg Turner with Billy Bill Miller on electric autoharp

My Friend and fellow Santa Fe resident Ronn Spencer hosted an episode of Open Mynd Excursion on Radio Luxuria for this Lou Reed tribute. Doenload the podcast here:

Just read on the ol' twittershere that Thee Spivs have decided to call it a day.

Sad news indeed. They were fantastic!

Love their previous gritty garage records, was a bit non-plussed by the techno outing, but for me this is their best so far! Totally love the sweet summertime drenched pop harmonies.

I'm extremely late in replying to this , but , I did'nt know about it , I did'nt see anything about it , previously.  I knew Matt , in passing. A very funny guy , he was always nice to me , even though he did hit me in the head with his guitar . It was an accident. The Candy Snatchers were playing a show with The 5-6-7-8's. Some kid knocked over their mike stand. The reason this was an issue was , I found out later , the club  had told them if they damaged their mikes or mike stands , they'd pay for them. But , the little fucker tried to hide behind me . Matt swung his guitar at him , missed , and grazed my forehead. Fortunately , I was more shocked than actually badly hurt. I was more angry with the kid than with Matt , and I tried to chase him , but , he got away. And , I was more angry with HIM because he just let me "Take a bullet" for him , so to speak.   After their set , Matt did come over and apologize to me , saying he did'nt see that I was standing right in front of the little shit , and told me why he swung his guitar like that , missing him , getting me , by mistake.  He said he was angry because he did'nt want to pay for a damaged mike or stand . "I LOVE YA , JOHN !" , he said , "YOU OLD BLACK HOMOSEXUAL !".          Please bear in mind , that just came out of nowhere. By that time , though , The Candy Snatchers were leting their "Alice Cooper Theatrics on a GG Allin Budget" take precedence over their music. I saw them , earlier , third on the bill to The Meteors and local "Psychobilly" band , Wreckin' Ball , who were great when they started , but , sucked by this time , and had a much bigger following in Chicago than even The Meteors to show for it. There were only about 12 people in the room when they went on , so , they focused on putting on a great , tight , Punk Rock show , instead , keeping those 12 people in the room .  No setting the bass on fire , no throwing up , no blood. Just Rock'n'Roll .  I know I spoke to Matt , who I met at the show , once or twice on the phone before the other gig , a year or so later.       Sorry to hear about you , Matt    : (

I saw The Priests , once. They reminded me a lot of The Cynics , but that's kind of unavoidable , I guess.

FYI, Sad News:

"Fast Eddie" Altesleben, drummer for raucous Detroit rockers The Clone Defects (In The Red), passed away unexpectedly a couple weeks back.  The Clone Defects are best known for their wildman Timmy Vulgar, who is also frontman for bands like Timmy's Organism, Human Eye, and more.

how can i delete this topic lol?

ok i don't know how to edit or post a video

Travel Agency - Jailbait

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6RxNvZqdZQ

very rough heavy song do you feel me?

im looking for the heaviest dirtiest garage song the mirror from the moodiest topic.

i'll start with 

I like the name  "House Full of Naked People" , even though I'm POSITVE I would not like their music , if they were a real band.

My first little band , in High School , was called "Born in an Elevator'' , a name I lifted from my Brother w/o his consent. The others , one of whom was from Sussex , UK , did'nt like the name , said it was too long , but long band names were "In " at the time.

Myself , I remember coming up with these names :   Malaria (Which turned out to be a real band's name.).

                                                                            Green Chinese Vomit (OK , a friend said that to me , trying to gross me out , but it was my idea to use it as a joke band name.).

                                                                            The Inedible Punks.

                                                                            Christian Marxists.

                                                                            Neutron Prom (I did use that one.).

                                                                            Elvis From Hell (Used that , too.).

                                                                         Later in life , Psycho * Davy and I played out as : Sick Sober and Sorry (An old Elvis quote I said to Dave. It was HIS idea to 

use it as a band name , though.).  We also performed as The 13th Floor Elvis Impersonators . I also played out just once with Daughters of Frankenstein ,in which I was the only "Male member". If I think of more of my earlier band names I thought of , I'll postthem , here. There really were some good ones. Honest. 

Haha, I'm way too old to remember what band names I thought of as a kid! But I see words or phrases almost daily in people's Facebook status updates or news stories that would make for some pretty killer band names.

Some recent ones I've whipped out:

Giant Dick From Space

Nattering Nabobs of Negativity

Nature Is Nasty

Street Taco

New World Army Screw Worms

Underground Landfill Fire

Baseball Activities

Beautiful Sag

Lobotomized Demeanor

Right-Wing Truckers

Twisted Wrister

Backyard Rollercoasters

African Dust Clouds

Sassy Black Grandpas

Mega Balls

Pink Slime

etc. etc. etc.

I used to come up with band names as a teen, often of one word, so see what did you come up with? I came up with this:

Lathe
Pants
Bomb
Combat 18 and a half
A House Full of Naked People
Motorpsycho FC
Tri-power & The Hemis

Later:
The Spindle Mounts
The Whitewall Slicks

Always a bummer to miss FIDLAR, couldn't get to the recent show in Montréal because of work crap, they were also with The Orwells and that is definitely a band I'd love to see live too

Playlist 11/02/13

Dick Dodd , legendary Lead Singer and Drummer for The Standells , has been diagnosed with Stage Four Cancer. Available reports were somewhat conflicting.

He is reported as having Spinal , Liver, Spleen and Esophogeal Cancer , though a spokesman retracted the statement about the latter. He was also reported to have two tumors to the brain , though treatment on that will be put on hold , as other factors have impaired his ability to eat. Combined , the reports strongly suggest that all of these reports , barring the Esophogeal Cancer , are true.  Surely , more information will be made available in a matter of days. Dodd told the press that he is determined to perform again.

Dodd had recently rejoined The Standells , whose current lineup includes founder/Keyboardist , Larry Tamblyn , "Try It " era Bassist and founding member of Love , John Fleckenstein ,and special guest Guitarist , Johnny Echols from Love. However , his rapid departure caused some low - key controversy. I don't know the whole story behind that , so I won't get into it here. More information on how you can donate to Dodd's medical fund , or just send him an encouraging message can be found on Dodd's Face Book , and elsewhere.    Dick Dodd enterred showbiz in the 50's on "The Mickey Mouse Club" (His Father was Jimmy Dodd , co - host of the program.). He drumed for classic Surf groups , The Bel - Aires and Eddie and The Showmen , and joined The Standells (In'64?) , appearing on TV SHOWS LIKe "tHE bING cROSBY sHOW" , "bEN cASEY" , AND , OF COURSE "The Munsters"  . tHEY ALSO APPEARED IN THE MOVIES , "Zebra in The Kitchen" , "Get Yourself a College Girl" , and teh Teen-Drug Exploitation fave , "Riot on Sunset Strip".

IN 1966 , THE BAND BUSTED WIDE OPEN WITH "DIRTY WATER" , FOLLOWED BY LESSER HITS LIKE "SOMETIMES GOOD GUYS DON'T WEAR WHITE" AND "TRY IT".

They split up in 1968 or '69 , though future Little Feat leader , Lowell George would briefly join the band in Dodd's absence , and a later comeback attempt was made in the early 70's , with only Tamblyn and Guitarist , Tony Valentino in tow. The two would try to reform the group , again , in the early 80's , briefly bringing Dickie back into the fold. The classic "Dirty Water" lineup played at the Super 60's Festival in 1986 , WITH lOVE , sKY saxon , Eric Burdon , Spirit and others ,  and the band would turn up off and on into the new millineum.  In 1999 , Valentino , Tamblyn and Dodd played a triumphant set at The Cave Stomp in New York , doubly impressive , as they had to follow an astonishing set by the monks. Both bands took the prize that night , if for totally different reasons.  Dickie also fronted Joshua in  the early 70's , who , despite a wretchedly Hippie - sounding name , released one LP , of Latin - tinged Hard Rock , not thoroughly removed from The Garage. He's performed Soul - flavored Rock under his own name and as The Dodd Squad since THE 80'S.

Think a good thought for the man. We all owe him a debt.

Of course. And I love the Cruising video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZULMk1zy0
Unfortunately, I've never seen them live. But I also do not know if they are ever come across the pond.

Right on! I'm missing out on a show because i'm one month shy of being old enough. Dammit, I'm pretty pissed, would have been a rad show. I've only listened to a couple songs by Sneaky Pinks. Nobunny is friends with Hunx and His Punx, listen to them? They're awesome.
