I got to see pierced arrows a year or so ago in a tiny club in N.C. They were awesome. They did quite a bit of new stuff and played a few dead moon songs (54 40 or fight!) all to a crowd of about 12 people but they played like it was 12,000. 

First version I ever heard, back in Junior High, was Blue Cheer's.

You have a point about Mose. Always thought he was asking light of the subject matter. "All I ever did was kill my wife..."

Yes, Mose's version always struck me as kind of an anti-blues... too giddy and upbeat for the subject matter. Lots of people have covered it, The Kingston Trio's mod version is pretty great too, but Dead Moon's rendition really sells the story of being stuck in a work farm chain gang in one of the gnarliest prisons of the time. Nothing against Mose, his catalog speaks for itself. I just think he flopped it on this one.

The original Parchment Farm? Do you mean Mose Allson's?

 

I come from their hometown of Portland, OR and I'll tell ya: they're legends around those parts. Their first album "In The Graveyard" is probly my favorite, and their version of Parchman Farm blows the original out of the water. For the sake of completeness, you may want to check out Fred Cole's current band Pierced Arrows - they're a little more toned down & singer/songwriter-ish compared to Dead Moon, but still great lo-fi blues rock.

 

(hell, I accidently posted twice. Any way to delete posts?

I'm a fan. 

 

There's a documentary about them  I got from Netflix a few years ago. here's the trailer:

 

 

 

 

Fred and Toody have been playing in a new band called Pierced Arrows that sounds just like Dead Moon (basically just changed drummers) They have a couple of albums out.

Any fans here of 80's DIY garage rockers Dead Moon?  I never knew anything about them until their early LP's began to be re-released, which led me to come across their 'Defiance' LP at a record store a few years back, I just felt a good vibe about them so I picked it up.  I was blown away and have been a huge fan ever since.

 

 

i love that Shutdown 66 comp too. Some total downers on it in the best way

ok i dont get it how to post video

 

beach inks - last night i cried

 

evil - i know i'll die

 

lonnie and the legends - i cried

 

the only thing i dislike on the first undertones album is that new wave version of teenage confessions. i agree with that Sylvain Sylvain lp though.

Link Cromwell and the Zoo (Lenny Kaye): "Crazy Like a Fox" from the Crazy Like a Fox - Lenny Kaye 1966 LP on Norton. I'm sorry, but the rest of that album is just a real snoozer.

Its so long time i listen to innagaddadevita maybe i have to check it out again. but last time i checked i did'nt like the other songs

 

yeah i i didn't like gimme gimme good lovin' as well as dark part of my mind. maybe too good song to compete with????

 

Check out this documentary for some mental record collectors

 

 

 

Records stacked in your toilet anyone?

Ack! The pressure on those lower records could be ruinous! Better let me thin the herd...

 

Which one of you did this house belong to? Come on. You can tell us.

I have a hard time saying I hate any band at this point. I just feel a lot of indifference...but I feel that for 95% of most music anyways. To say "I dislike Coldplay" or "i dislike Nickelback" just feels like a waste of a breath.

 

In high school though, I REALLY hated At The Drive In, Choke, Propaghandi, and most of what my friends referred to as "technical new school punk".  I never got stuff like Pennywise, Nofx, and all that skate punk stuff.

 

Oh, and in terms of "bands I really want to like, but just don't"...TURBONEGRO. I feel like I should love them, but I just find them really boring.

 

Regarding Green Day...I completely understand someone disliking the fans/bands they spawned, and I understand being irritated by the band members themselves...especially in the mid 90's.

But if someone likes the Undertones, Buzzcocks, Pointed Sticks, Ramones, Etc.....I find it strange that they wouldn't be able to find something to enjoy from one of Green Days first four albums. 

 

 

 

 

Oh man, there is too many bands I could add to that list:

 

Oasis

U2

Coldplay

Good Charlotte

Kings of Leon

30 Seconds to Mars

Greenday

Bush

Pearl Jam

 

Off the tip of my brain.  If we did a 50 most hated bands we'd still have a problem trimming things down to the magic number.

Yeah, Pennywise sucks, too. In fact, they're probably worse cuz they just ripped off NOFX.

I'm not crazy about Green Day, but they have a sentimental place in my heart because that's the first concert I took my son to that he actually wanted to see. i have a picture of us right after the show and the look on his face was priceless. (That was about 10 years ago. His tastes have improved.)

Just curious about NOFX. I barely remember them, but they seemed to be part of a whole slew of rather bland, generic mid-90s punk acts. Were they that much worse than Pennywise?

As for me, I hate Josie & The Pussycats. They just ripped off The Archies. You didn't hear Wislon Pickett covering any Josie songs.

Here's a great conversation starter! Try it at your next party!

 

First, read this:

http://www.salon.com/2013/08/10/15_most_hated_bands_of_last_30_years/

 

As a friend of mine said, unfortunately, the Eagles are too old/early to be on this list.

 

But I will gladly add U2 and NOFX. Oh, and Green Day. Thank you. Thank you very much.

HOW THE BEATLES DESTROYED ROCK'N'ROLL

Great read.

 

Thanks, I'm going to have to read that!

 

The age old argument, are the Beatles much kop?  I haven't got much of a problem with them, they were my entrance into 60's music a number of years ago but I soon discovered the Kinks and they've been left behind.

 

I think for a lot of people (including myself) the problem with the Beatles is that they are over rated, for many they are the beginning and end of 60's music, throw in the over exposure and saturation of their music and I can find them tiring.  I've heard enough Beatles music to never need to listen to any more.

 

But for those who love garage rock the commercial sound of the Beatles just isn't aimed at us, so I don't see a problem wiht them.  I recently went through my parent's old record collection and pulled out the Beatles 'Rock n' Roll' music LP, their covers of Roll over Beethoven, Long, Tall Sally and Money just lacked that raw edge of rock n roll music, they were rock n roll classic smoothed over to appeal to their fans.  It showed me that the Beatles were just a rock n roll influenced pop band, they came in at the right time with the right sound and image to become gigantic.  But I think many of us have liked or still like a few of their tracks.

 

I just wanted to make everyone aware of my weekly (Sunday night) radio show on KSFR in Santa Fe. On Terrell's Sound World I play a lot of garage/punk/psychedelic/surf/R&B etc. (including stuff I've received from bands I've met here at the Hideout)
