I just realized I hadn't visited his site in a while, so I went there to see what he's been up to. I was pleased to find an interview he had done with LA artist/singer Julie Pavlowski Green for her blog Patterns and Tones. Check it out!

OK , what about "Midnight at The Oasis" by Maria Muldair? GOD , I hate that song , even as a kid , I hated it.....I know Muldair was keen on songs with sexual content , real or implied , but this just AIN'T sexy. Especially the way her voice keeps breaking. It's one smooth , but phoned - in ,  Guitar solo by acclaimed axeman , Amos Garrett , short of total garbage. And even that's too Jazz for my taste.   A wretched cover version was a hit , I guess , a few years back. Lightning strikes twice , so does do - do.

Wow. This live Plimsouls sounds good. I saw them once ,in 1981 (On a bill with Robin Lane and The Chartbusters , The Telefones , and SPlit ENZ - WHO DID JUST ONE SONG , DUE TO THE PISSING RAIN IN THE OUTDOOR SETTING) , and told myself, if they ever came back , I'd see them again. wELL......25 YEARS LATER, I did'nt feel like paying $25 for the privledge , but , hey , that's just me. Never heard of The 99ers , but , if Eddie ANGEL has anything to do with it , it's gotta be good .

There's another album that came out in the 'Owts , taken from a recently discovered soundboard tape by the same lineup , Mk. 2 Yardbirds. It's only 30 minutes long , but it maintains the same high standard , though I don't think the band knew they were being recorded !

 "Last Rave Up in LA'' is really interesting , tho' , as another writer noted , it sounds liek it was recorded from a parking lot , two blocks away. It came out as a bootleg , 3 LP set. It' s ONE OF the band's last shows , ever. Jimmy Page really stretching the boundaries of what late Psych /early Hard Rock could be ,before forming Led Zeppelin ,and , well ,in my hardly - shared opinion , becoming deathly dull....Keith Relf was really improvising , lyrically , taking familiar songs into unfamiliar realms. On "New York City Blues'' ,  ALL THE LYRICS ARE DIFFERENT.   The song selection is amazing , too , everything from "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago'' and "Over Under Sideways Down" and 'I Ain't Done Wrong' to covers of "Hey , Gyp" , "I'm Confused " (" Dazed and Confused"), "Beck's Bolero"(!!) and "Waiting For The Man" (!!!). It's believed that only one other  band had covered The Velvets before this, Sure , it's sloppy at times , but , the energy is still there.

Then , there's "Live Yardbirds with Jimmy Page", a much better - sounding document. Liner notes by Lenny Kaye , band blazing away , but , it was pulled by Page shortly after it was released.

Yes those live Robert Quine Velvet Underground recordings are amazing! I love the Live '69 albums too. Another great crazy live album that I'd forgotten about until recently is the first Yardbirds album Five Live Yardbirds - a brilliant rave-up with the group thrashing away and R&B standards like a punk band on speed..

Robert Quine's set of live Velvets recordings from around that time ( With his future boss , Lou Reed's blessing.) is nothing to sneeze at , either. I don't know that I wave a favorite , except the one that was mentioned earlier , cut possibly in '66 (?). I used that to shut my neighbors up one time when they were carrying on til 4 am , and I was trying to sleep.

"It's alive" by the Ramones is still one of the most excitig live recordings to me - pure energy! and I was totaly thrilled when I discovered that there is also a DVD released of that great show!

Another great live-record not mentioned here before is Velvet Underground "Live 1969" - (I like it much more than "Live at Max's") - it transports a great feeling as if you are actually sitting right there in the club... and I like those early versions of some songs still in progress at the time of the gig - great "Sweet Jane" version in example!

I thought the only really good song on "Rant'n'Rave With The Stray Cats" was "How Long Do You Wanna Live , Anyway?", with it's uncharacteristically raw rock riffage , which sounded more like Cochran than when they were really trying to sound like him. But , that was 30 years ago , I'D PROBABLY THINK IT WAS A PIECE OF SHIT , TOO , IF i HEARD IT , TODAY.

LITTLE RICHARD - "LIFETIME FRIEND" . THE BEAUTY ON DUTY TRIES TO SING ABOUT SUBTLE , AND OBVIOUS , XIAN THEMES TO A ROCK BACKDROP , WHICH ONLY OCCASIONALLY WORKS.  "Great Gosh a'Mighty" , the lone standout track , succeeds on both counts by rockin' like fuck , without pushing the religious envelope too hard. The version in the movie "Down and Out in Beverley Hills" is different. You should be able to buy the 45 from the movie , and the "Lifetime Friend" album and have change from your  Dollar.

iT'S NOT THE ONLY GOOD SONG , BUT IF ALL OF "SANDINISTA!" ROCKED LIKE THE CLASH'S COVER OF THE EQUALS' "POLICE ON MY BACK" , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE OTHER ALBUM(S).

I LOVE X , I'VE LOVED ALMOST EVEYTHING THEY'VE DONE , OR , AT LEAST , LIKED IT....BUT , "AIN'T LOVE GRAND", THAT'S TOUGH....I LIKED "LOVE SHACK" ALL RIGHT. THEIR VERSION OF "ALL OR NOTHING" BY THE SMALL FACES WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE , IF , LIKE THE REST OF THE ALBUM , IT WERE'NT SO DAMNED OVERPRODUCED.

MIND YOU , THOSE SONGS SOUNDED FINE , LIVE.

HA HA HA HA, Chip Z'nuff. One of those guys was drowning his sorrows , telling my friend and I how bummed he was that E'nuff Z'nuff was opening for Poison and Lynyrd Skynyrd the next night , and sure to bomb. I think it WAS chip......

Is'nt Exene Cervenka her heal name? Maybe Exene is a psuedonym , but, I never read that it was. I know she briefly called her self "Cervenkova ", but , her late sister , Mary , called herself 'Cervenka" , too....

The Evil Farm Children after playing live on Shakin' Cats Radio at CHRW 5/23/2009.

3. DOA...Liar For Hire...from the War On 45 LP. Canada's longest surviving punk band, with The Forgotten Rebels not far behind.

Had to get rid of the evidence stuck to the truck the next morning before work started!! Youth plus alcohol usually results in stupidity (not the band from Sweden).

A sweaty post show UIC. Mid 80's

Crap -just missed the chance to donate and score a DVD! Oh well, I can order it when it gets released I am sure. Thanks for sharing everyone, I am a huge fan of the Detroit scene, so ma ny amazing bands.

ChazDaddy

yeah i like faust, gong (Radio Gnome, Camembert Electrique & Angels egg), zappas stuff (it's very intricate), aqua by edgard forese (i think?), the paisleys trip on side b of cosmic mind at play. But, can't remember em all. just started on silver apples, they look good.

I love both Supercharger albums. I also strongly prefer their version of "Sooprize Package for Mr. Mineo" to the Mummies'. And is it just me, or does their song "San Bruno" have the same melody as "Surrender" by Cheap Trick?

Far and away my favourite is Supercharger. Prefer the 2nd album to the 1st actually.

In terms of new bands.... that Gino and the Goons album on Total Punk is my favourite release of the year.

The bands you listed recorded with the right amount of reverb and ambiance so they didn't sound bland though it was really clean.  Cool sounding peddles helped as well.  I like lo-fi but I like it done well.  The early Mummies 45s were done much better than the later albums which were so distorted you couldn't understand anything.

@ Alison, There are many well respected garage bands from the original 60'S period & the 80's revival period that did not record in lo fidelity. The Electric Prunes, The Music Machine, Arthur Lee & Love, The Standell's, The Chocolate Watchband, the Mircle Workers, The Cynics, Chesterfield Kings, & my own band, The Fuzztones. It's a matter of preference, & I prefer to hear music that is recorded well. @ Nic, speaking of Jimi Hendrix, I recorded my second 45 over 30 years ago at Electric Lady Studios. So there's absolutely no way I can get into Low-fi, when I started at such a high quality studio. My process does not differ much from yours. We also record live, however, the studio I record in has isolation booths so the various instruments & vocals cann all record onto different track so there is no bleed from other instruments. We use those as basic tracks that we build upon.

He had a band in the 70's called Kingdom Come. They did Galactic zoo dossier, a self titled album & Journey. The dossier is the most freaky one. He went for a drum machine on one album & sent some stuff to John Peel in uk which John played on radio (And is included on the (Dare I Say it) CD..). There was also a vinyl release of material which he recorded after the crazy world stuff & Bam Caruso a St. Albans UK record company released it in the 80's or 90's. I have a copy salted away & all I can remember was it was weird. One track was called The life-jacket is under your seat or something like that. I should get it out & re-listen it's been ages since I heard it. If I do I'll let you all know more...He's a Yorkshireman & a star.

John Battles said:

His Kingdom Come (HIS WILL BE DONE.)output , and various solo albums was released on.....I forget the label. A friend just sent me his album with Vincent Crane on CD. I don't know if his album with Jimmy Carl Black was ever reissued. I should've bought it at the time. From there , you're getting into mostly or all CD. THE ABORTED SECOND CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN ALBUM "Strange Worlds" was released on vinyl on Reckless , I think , 1988. Yes , Reckless as in the record store in London , Chicago , and formerly San Francisco and Evanston , Ill. I don't know if it was reissued on CD. IT'S A GREAT ALBUM. MAYBE BETTER THAN THE FIRST.  There's a Live at The Marquee CD from 10 or 15 years ago , a career spanning effort. Plus , Arthur did a fantastic duet with Phil May on The Pretty Things' 40TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE DVD/CD.
