I think GG is a compelling character, but even more so were the other members of the Murder Junkies esp drummer Dino Sex. Strangely a good place to start I reckon isn't a record but is the Hated dvd for good insights into the characters. A dvd called live and pissed shows him in a much more dynamic setting going pretty apeshit and not just shambling around trying to hit people like a punch drunk old boxer. It's a pretty tense affair with the audience as interesting as he is. 

 

music wise, he's a bit hit and miss in my opinion. My advice is go to Spotify first as there's loads there. Youtube has got some cool stuff too. One of my favourite clips was of someone pissing on GGs grave and Merle his brother sauntering down and smacking said 'fan' over the head with his acoustic guitar!

 

I have 'you give love a bad name' which is pretty rough but wth some good stuff and some scary as hell stuff (I'm a rapest (sic)). The ROIR hated in the nation set has demos and live recordings. He even did a country album. Some of his stuff is pretty duff like the sub sub heavy metal of 'live fast die fast' and its funny as hell video.

 

GG's trouble I think was that he would ruin things by going on Gerry Springer type shows being a wild punk rocker; he should have retained some mystique.

The MC5 are cool, the Stooges are cooler. Who'd win a fight? The Stooges but only cos Scott Asheton would take them all on single handed. Iggy would have beat himself up, Ron Asheton would have hid and Dave Alexander would have been drunk and sniggered in a snide kind of way! 

At the time as a kid I hated it but then again punks scared me. Now i like some of it. It sounds like it came from a happy carefree, almost innocent time, a bit like glam rock does. I know the times were not like this but then again for gay New yorkers it was a time when they had been legitimised somewhat but before AIDS.

 

Disco Sucks seemed unkind. Of course there was shit like Disco Duck but there were some great funky grooves and proto-techno (especially from the euro scene). Don't forget there was shit bandwagon jumping punk too (1988 Activator by Steve Hillage or the Monks (not the 60s tonsured Monks).

 

I can't get into the superstar dj thing myself but think about it; suddenly you could make huge crowds dance without musical virtuosity or much equipment. It was music of the people before Studio 54 and similar elitist attitudes ruined it.

 

So love your disco and love your punk; they were both revolutionary.

I'm too young to appreciate disco's hey day but from what I've read, a lot of anti-disco mentality at the time had to do with society being rather racists and homophobic since disco was born of the two subcultures in America.

Not neccessarily, there were also legitimate artistic reasons to be critical of disco that were overlooked. Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys likened Disco to the cabaret of Weimar Germany, he regarded it as apathetic and politically disconnected. Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo likened it to "a beautiful woman with a great body and no brains" (Ris Low, anyone?), which is quite unfortunate. I even think of one of disco's descendents, Lady Gaga, as quite vaccuous and superficial. She portrays herself as avant-garde, but I find her so formulaic that she seemingly has no original creative thoughts of her own. She just copies what went before and everyone thinks she is original, look at the meat dress as a case in point (it was created in the 1980's).

 

Personally, I think Madonna should retire because someone old enough to be my mother acting like a 19 year old stripper on stage makes me cringe. Her act doesn't shock, I find it contrived and formulaic. Tim Westwood is the same, an aging ang moh acting like he is from South Central Los Angeles, with this patronising "down with the youth" spiel. I think he's just another Smashie and Nicey, though someone told me he was just another version of Jim Davidson with tunes for the kids.    

Hi

 

I read that 3 tracks didn't get used on Ya Know. 1 is Duke of Earl which is on Youtube, but what about the other 2? what are they and can they be listened to/ downloaded anywhere?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Rudi Protrudi surely although  Lance D'Boyle from the Poison Girls is a good one. I was in a band once with Zen Spacker which still makes me smile.

Hi fans of Radio Birdman, Stooges and MC5,

 

I have the New Race albums 1st To Pay and 2nd Wave but I've read somewhere on this forum of a 3rd album. The 2 I have are amazing so can anyone tell me anything about the other album which I have no info about?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Thanks. I'll check these out.

If you go to the main forum view for Shakin' Street and do a search from within this forum for "radio," you can find a lot of topics about various radio shows. Here are a couple that compile some various shows, though:

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I seem to remember someone compiling a master list of known GaragePunk-oriented radio shows. Is that still floating around here anywhere? I'd likle to publish such a thing on my music blog..

If there's not such a list available, maybe we could start compiling one right here. 

If you have a show and would like to be included, respond to this with something like this:

Link Wray should have been in the so - called Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame at least 20 years ago , and even that would have been draggin' ass on the man's time.... It took 'em forever to induct Gene Vincent , so why should'nt it take forever and a day to consider Link Wray? 

I mean , I like Deep Purple fine , but there'd be no Heavy Metal , Hard Rock OR Punk Rock if Link had'nt taken some chances , pushed a lot of barriers and OOZED cool -as - fuck attitude.  I LIKE tHE ZOMBIES , EVEN , BUT , THEY NEED SOME MORE DANGEROUS MUSIC IN THERE IF THEY'RE TO CALL IT THE R'n'R Hall of Fame .  I realize , if Link makes it , it'll be a fluke. Nirvana , sorry , never got it. I knew they'd be inducted , though , when eligible. But , The Replacements , that's sorta out of left field. Never got it with them , either , but , of course , I could settle for one day being deluged with Grunge and Drunk Rock on the train and in the street and in stores , instead of "Revolutionary" Hip Hop.....Likewise , Linda Rondstadt and Yes have a better chance of being inducted than Link WRAY , OF COURSE , BECAUSE THEY'RE BETTER KNOWN, but , also , because , for every Stooges that got in , there's two dozen CSNY's or Madonnas that also got in.....

 

Ramones , Clash , Dave Clark 5 , all get inducted shortly after their lead singers die. Hmmmmmmmm.

 

Paul Revere and The Raiders , Roky Erickson/Elevators , Syd Barrett , Arthur Lee/Love , The New York Dolls , The MC5 , The Treniers  , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , is he in? Don't think so. The Raiders only are'nt nominated because of the fucking suits. Who cares ? They were a great Rock'n'Roll band , but , don't expect to see them inducted , nor The Sonics , The Wailers or even The Kingsmen......There's so many others......But , I've kind of stopped letting it upset me like it used to.

I'd definitely go with this exquisite selection here, along with The Monks. Why isn't John Peel in there too, as there is a slot for DJ's & promoters?

 

Just a thought: If Michael Jackson was convicted of being a nonce, would he be ejected from the RRHoF?

Makes it a bit tougher when only voting for 5.  I see Nirvana is leading the voting which could be expected.

 

I went Kiss, Hall and Oates, Deep Purple, Link Wray

 

Zombies could have gotten my vote, should have traded them for Hall and Oates.  Maybe a little to lazy to go back to uncheck.  CHIC???  The Hall needs to write a clear mission statment and abide by it.

Chris Henniker said:

At last, someone put Link Wray up for nomination. I voted for him, as well as The Zombies.

 

Why were the hip-hop artists in there? The hip-hop genre is so vast that it needs its own hall of fame, but I do think it's just another rock'n'roll pose. Surely Lux Interior and Poison Ivy could take it over and they'll do the nominations and inductions. Better still, put The Cramps in there too. 

The Cramps are NOT in there yet??? Fuck!! Scandalous!!!!

Completely agree to take Hip Hop (and pop!!!) out of there!!. They should have their own Hall. I would put only musicians like Grandmaster Flash & furious five, Africa Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Forse maybe Public Enemy and other old stuff like Snoop Dogg ONLY for his first album "Doggystyle" (some songs are great, the rest sucks. Later stuff even worse), actually as most of Hip Hop to me... brrrrr

Voted for Link Wray of course and Zombies (even if i like just few songs, the rest is too cheesy to my taste, but still...much much better than the rest of the nominees)
I confess i still like Nirvana and the VERY EARLY Deep Purple too.

Nominees for next year's class of Hall Of Fame inductees were anounced today, and it's quite a diverse list. It's got a nice split of previously nominated artists along with first timers, and even a few greats from our own little lo-fi universe. And once again, the selection committe has included the "Fan Vote" as part of the decision-making process. You can vote for five artists/bands you'd like to see inducted, and the cumulative Fan Ballot will be tallied along with the other official ballots. A good bit of fun, and a great chance to support your favorites.

I bet she was English, Scots, Welsh or Irish.

Head On by The Stooges. It's a 2-CD reissue of the original single CD, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell. 

 

Disc 1 of Head On is the original CD minus the last two songs (Tight Pants, Scene of the Crime) plus a bonus CD of rare performances and alternate takes. The bonus disc is interesting but it's the first disc you really want. The almost painfully raw sound production only makes it better. It's one of the greatest punk albums ever made, and it's not even punk.
