Hi.  I live in Montpelier Vermont.  I took up the guitar and bass at age 40 so I've got some catching up to do.

 

I love all kinds of music.  I have two kids age 10 & 8.  I am a marathon runner in my spare time.

 

this album is seriously great

I absolutely love FIDLAR, great music and great videos

 

Radio What Wave Playlist Sept 5/2013

1. Rosy Red....Cloudy Day....demo from a short lived Brantford Ontario combo, who have since re-named and come back to life.

 

2. Marshmallow Overcoat...Suddenly Sunday...from The Complete Sound CD Boxset. The Marshmallow Overcoat were from Tucson and have just started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to do a double LP best of collection.

 

3. Marshmallow Overcoat...Tears...as above.

 

 

4. Marshmallow Overcoat...Tried To Hide....recorded at Call The Office, 4/11/1989. The only time they ever played London Ontario.

 

5. The Mongrels...All Systems Go....from a Radio What Wave Session that aired 5/2/2013. The Mongrels will be playing at St Regis Hotel tonight.

The Mongrels, late 80's

The Flying Squad, mid 80's

 

 

16. Boy From Nowhere...Heart Full Of Soul....from Thee Cave Comes Alive, a 2004 LP on Action Records out of Greece which collected some of the 60's garage style music from the cassettes that came with What Wave zine. Boy From Nowhere were an early 80's combo from London Ontario who will be doing a reunion on October 5th at the Town And Country. It's a special birthday bash and i'll be the DJ.

21. Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper...Burn Down The Malls...from The Enigma Variations 2, a double LP that came out in 1987. In London we have a bit of a controversy over a possible new mall that is planned to be built by the major highway and will be where there is a forest, pond and a lot of wildlife. A lot of us are against it, yet our mayor and city council pushed approval through with the bullshit promise that it will create jobs. The local conservation authority was supposed to be involved and they have to give approval for projects like this to start. In this case, they were NOT consulted. Hence the playing of this and the next 2 songs.

 

22. Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper...Where The Hell's My Money?...from the 1986 LP Frenzy.

 

23. Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper....This Land Is Your Land...from the Root Hog Or Die LP.

 

 

 

Big thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and HEYS!!!    We're back again next week with lots more noise.

I will be back on the air and the web playing new and old garage-punk tunes from 1:00-3:00PM EST on Saturday September 7^th.  You can listen on 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu.

Lester Bangs is a 'COCK' who if it sold headline inches would blame the jews for the sinking of the Titanic or whatever other ironic untruth ya got. He would then sit back and let the 'kids' discuss and create the monster. If questioned... A choice ironic turn of phrase or two would let him of the hook. BOOM! the beat generation continues. In this day of soundbite politics and 'constructive' hatred and mistrust. Bangs would probably be considered for President or Emperor of Jupiter or any other puppet statesmanlike position! These fucker journalists from a dinosaur age should be considered for what they really are. No one and everyone. 'Vive le Conspiracy Theory!!!' Free speech died with Emily Pankhurst.

I've had this article bookmarked for days now and finally got around to reading it. It's really good, thanks for sharing. To be honest it is not something I would have expected to read by Lester Bangs. Not that I ever suspected him of being a racist, but he (admittedly) has been pretty free about using the word nigger and other racist words.

 

I find most of his writings to be good, so I was not surprised to enjoy this article. What did surprise me is the courage it took to write the article, which was exposing many of his pals for their questionable banter.

 

As far as good journalism—it still exists, perhaps more and better than ever with all the technological advances, it's just not a part of mainstream culture. As mentioned by Lutz, the mainstream news networks are more about dumbing people down so they don't get too concerned with important issues. I find that good journalism is abundant, but since it is not under the thumb of special interest, most do not have the funds to advertise, so you just have to know where to look for it.

Two new bands makin me shake just now. The Wytches and Miraculous Mule. Both British Gnarly loveliness. Check'em out

I listen to a lot of hardcore and metal, which probably isn't so popular in these parts—but it happens to be where some of my favorite new music is coming from these days. That being said, some more current garagey type stuff I listen to these days would be New Horizzzons and the Pow Wows. Both local bands from Toronto. We seem to play a lot of shows with the Pow Wows and I've seen them go through a number of changes and I think they keep getting better and better. New Horizzzons is a new-ish band formed by a few friends of mine. Definitely original to say the least. Craig Daniels of many older Toronto bands, namely the Leather Uppers plays guitar on some songs and drums on the others. I highly recommend checking these guys out.

Perhaps my favorite new band at the moment is NANCY from NYC. The drummer from Chicago's Gas Rag has a label called "Eat the Life" and puts out mostly hardcore/ weird stuff. He gave me a pile of cassettes a few weeks ago. NANCY was one of them and they are anything but hardcore or weird, PURE ROCK 'N" ROLL! They remind me of a cross between Nobunny and the Exploding Hearts. So good, so poppy, so catchy. I can't stop listening to their demo. I hope these guys put out a proper LP before the end of the year.

Another band I really dig right now is VOICEMAIL. They are from Ottawa and I've seen them a few times now. Ian Manhire from the White Wires is on vocals and guitar, then various other cool kids from bands like the Mother's Children and the Sedatives are in the mix. Very similar to the White Wires, but that is certainly not a bad thing. We played with them about 6 months ago and they didn't have anything out as of then, but maybe something's been released since. Great music made by great people.

I can't locate a Voicemail bandcamp. I think there is some face book thing, but I'm not a member, so I can't look at it to tell you if it is worth visiting or even the same band.

Check out my blog post on Ty Segall's Sleeper here:  http://revrock.blogspot.ca/2013/09/ty-segalls-sleeper-rockabilly-show-471.html

I'd like to check out this book too. Does it discuss the Wallis' time with the band and the recordings that would later go on to be On Parole album?

eddie , I like this song , but, why is it politically incorrect?
 Did the Lead Singer say something "Naughty" that's buried under all the other singers' voices?

A lot of Doo Wop groups did do X- Rated versions of songs that were commercially recorded.

Because it's insensitive. It uses a variation of the "Oriental riff," the line "You lookee like a Japanese Sandman" is spoken in a stereotypical faux-Asian voice, and the phrase "rang tang ding dong rackee sackee" is a mockery of how Asian languages sound to Westerners.

I've just heard this fantastic new band called The Rip Em Ups yeah? See they're really good. http://youtu.be/fkbxD_UJH6o Through them I found the magnificent A-Bones. I also really like the Jim Jones Revue. But I'm stuck! All I wanna hear is good old fashioned new rock and roll. Not too over the top. Not too garagey. More 50s style I suppose. Please help. I will return favours using positive feel good comments. Mikebails.

 

I thought Alison's choice was great (they're also local  boys) and WOW! who did their video. I love it.  I seems like you can find a g'zillion psychobilly bands, but harder to find good more purist 50s-style rock, but heres a good 'un... from Mad Jack and the Hatters:

The J-Pan girls can do the pop, but the VietCong gals can RAWK up some psych (and say yeah, yeah a lot)...this is the whole album

I HAVE that EXACT dress that they're wearing.... It IS an empire waist dress. I think the last girl sitting down forgot to pull it over her empire, but Hey she's happy.  Anybody know who the NEXT J-Pan Girl "guitar mama" band is? Shonen Knife, 567s, etc. are kinded dated now (still good, still wonderful).

Thanks, Kopper! It's great to be back! Hopefully these Hideout members will feel the same way!

Great to have you back, Fuckup.

Thanks, brother! Hope you dig it!

Cool bananas Joey!

Here's the new trailer that came out last year, but I haven't heard anything about this since...
