I 'm bout due for another glam show ...any day now...As for Pandora...freaking awesome.  One of the best lost glam albums of all time. Although, I thought they were from Cleveland...but I,m not sure. 

MikeL , YOU'RE NEARING THE 300 MARK , HERE , MAN . I think that's like getting a Gold Record around here.

Ummmmmm.....Glam related stuff. One is advised to seek out the earlier version of "Saturday Night" by The Bay City Rollers , from '72 , I think. No  foolin' , more of a Boot Boy Stomp than the version that made it, here. "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y - MATE !!!!". I think it was only a hit in Germany.

I'm very sorry I missed your radio program. I do remember getting my invite, but I think it may have been on at a bad time for me. Is there a podcast available?

I myself am quite amazed at how long this discussion has gone on. Just when I forgot that I even started it, someone posts something new.

No problem, this thing's been going on so long, who can remember what anyone said 2 years ago. I just wish people had tuned in to my (and my friend Sara's) glam specials cuz we played all sorts of stuff and I think the topic had started shortly before the shows. Anyway, rock on. I bought the new Bowie, we'll see how he's sounding these days.

Ah, here we go. One of the earliest responses I got. Thanks again, Joanie:)

Don't forget some of the more obscure stuff on the Velvet Tinmine, Boobs and Glitterbest comps.

BTW, thanks for letting me know about "Clap Your Hands Stomp Your Feet."

Sorry I didn't check first:( Thanks for letting people know back then, and I also ordered "Boobs" and "Glitterbest."

I know this thread is wicked long but I mentioned that ages ago.  Also the comps Boobs, Glitterbest and Clap Your Hands Stomp Your Feet. And Mojo put out a glam comp and there's one called 20 UK Power Glam Incendiaries on the Psychic Circle label.

Can anyone suggest obscure stuff from the arty side of glam, as I know of Bowie, etc?

Anyone here familiar with a compilation titled "Velvet Tinmine"? It is a collection of songs by lesser known glam rock bands, and it is really cool. If you like the bubblegum wing of glam rock, this one is for you.

On a similar note, has anyone here ever heard of a band called Pandora? They were a New York glam band from the early 70s that managed to record a bunch of demos that were finally released by Arf Arf Records in 1997. Their sound is more hard rocking, kind of like Bowie meets Zeppelin.

Anyway, I found out about "Velvet Tinmine" and Pandora by reading Dave Thompson's excellent book, "Children of the Revolution: The Glam Rock Story."

IS THERE A COVER OF A GARAGE ROCK CLASSIC OR OBSCURITY , OR BOTH , THAT WAS SO BAD YOU EITHER LOVED OR LOATHED IT?  The example I always fall back on is Pop Music Will Eat Itself's "Beaver Patrol". I thought , THIS guy's with The Beaver Patrol? HA!

Cynthia Plastercaster later confirmed that he was her biggest casting yet , including Jimi Hendrix. So , I guess he knew what he was talking about , even tho' I still lean toward "Loathe" on that version.

 

Devil's Advocate sez  1986 was'nt too shabby , either.

Cramps - A Date With Elvis.

Roky Erickson - Don't Slander Me.

Pandoras - Stop Pretending.

Link Wray - Live in 85.

Fleshtones - Fleshtones Vs. Reality.

Lithium Xmas -Aneurysm (And the pre - Nirvana debut of their version of "Love Buzz " by The Shocking Blue.).

Ramones - Animal Boy (Some of us were glad there was an album and a tour.).

Motorhead - Orgasmatron (Ditto.) .

Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy and US imports of their first singles.

Washington Dead Cats - Horror Stories from The Washington Dead Cats.

Rockabilly Psychosis and The Garage Disease (Comp. Possibly '85.)

Revenge of The Killer Pussies (Same).

Teddy and The Tall Tops - On The Line EP.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins with The Fuzztones - Live EP.

? and The Mysterians - Live , Dallas , '84.

Sky "Sunlight" Saxon and Firewall "Destiny's Children" (It was STILL better than what most "Straight''artists were coming up with in the REM afterbirth.).

Vile Vinyl , VOL. 1 AND 2  (Comps.)

Fuzzbox - Bostin' Steve Austin/We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna USE It. (US/UK. Possibly  '86 and 87.).

Paladins - Debut on Wrestler.

Dwight Yoakum - Guitars , Cadillacs , etc.(It sounded fresh at the time.).

Best shows - Ramones , Divine Horsemen , Plan 9 , Pandoras , Motorhead , Carl Perkins , Blasters , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , John Lee Hooker , (early) Rev. Horton Heat , Ragin' Fire , Voodoo Idols , Bo Diddley , Paladins , Teddy and The Tall Tops , Lithium Xmas , Peyote Cowboys , Shitty Beatles , Mel Coolies ,

Hell , even The Butthole Surfers were still turning in good shows.

Best tour that passed my town - Cramps.

Worst shows - Red Hot Chili Peppers , Flaming Lips , Stickmen with Rayguns .

Not bad and not great - Johnny Thunders , Sid and Billy King.

2004 was my best year ever for rock'n'roll. I discovered a cool new band that year (the Charms); a band that I discovered the previous year (Manda and the Marbles) played here in Pittsburgh a couple of times, and they had a CD release party in their hometown of Columbus, OH, which I attended; a new local band at the time (the Breakup Society) released a cool debut CD; the Cynics played a couple of local gigs; a couple of bands that I discovered a few years earlier (Cobra Verde and the Paybacks) played here at the 31st Street Pub; a favorite local punk band that broke up a few years before (the Ultimatics) did a one off reunion show at the Pub; I saw both the Darkness and David Bowie in concert; I attended LSUG's Battle of the Bands and the festival at Randall's Island in NYC; I saw the Gore Gore Girls a couple of times here in Pittsburgh when they had that really cute bass player Jen "Deuce" Pirch; I saw the Ramones' documentary "End of the Century." And that's pretty much it. I guess all the stars lined up perfectly that year, and I'll probably never have another year like that again, which saddens me.

Totally. Fuckers wi their cellphones! does my crust right in. Was at a gig in Aberdeen with Future of the Left (ex Mclusky, check'em both out). Andy the lead singer fellah jumped into the crowd, squared up to some cocky little fucker and his phone. Grabbed it threw it to the back of the room, told the guy and his friend to fuck off and buy their music.  he then turned to the crowd and said 'Anyone else want a picture?' Classic!

I recently went to see The Hives and I couldn't help myself. Although I lasted much less time going counter clock wise than I used to...I remember in 1996 I attended a Warp Tour stop and when Pennywise started covering Black Flag songs I had this feeling that I never wanted to leave my body. I wish I could bottle that feeling up and let the eye rollers have a glimpse...So with the digital age firmly here and people going to concerts and watching the whole damn thing through a phone/camera (so effing annoying BTW), us old dudes are extremely relevant. Keep it up pops!

Stickin' with it! It gives me great pleasure to see punks of all ages sportin their wears and keeping the heritage alive. I just love punks man.

new album out now. this is just fuckin stunning and creepy at the same time.

Fu Manchu all day man.

Especially this:

 I guess I can't argue with that statement ,  if they never broke up in the past 30+ years , but , I was'nt impressed when I saw them.

I think is the same band and same tunes! 
they call themself: "Planet Earth's longest running modern surf band."

John Battles said:

THE INSECT SURFERS....Unless they've changed drastically , that was some stone Hippie Surf , like The Mermen , but a little heavier. IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO THAT I SAW THEM , AND OVER 10 YEARS EARLIER , MY FRIENDS AND I TRIED TO GET INTO A SHOW THEY WERE ON (MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME BAND.).

THEY USED TO DO A THING IN CHICAGO AND THE BURBS , CALLED  TIKI FEST , THE TRASHMEN , VOLCANOES , NEANDERTHALS , AND A BUNCH OF AREA BANDS PLAYED.

I can´t listen to this stuff, too cheesy to my ears. I guess the original is not even better, right?

It's not "punk" at least in form, but Richard Thompson's "Mother Knows Best" is a classic
