Friday at the Hideout on Norton is awesome.  Detroit garage '64-'67.  http://www.discogs.com/Various-Friday-At-The-Hideout/release/1695095

Monsters of the Midwest series is also a really good 60's garage comp.  I recommend Volume 4: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Monsters-Of-The-Midwest-Vol-IV-Lost-Tracks-From-The-Action-Sixties/release/3974365

Searching in the Wilderness is one of my all time favorites.  It's a comp of 60's Europe garage rock.  Really great stuff on here.  There's an interesting track by The Kinks from before they called themselves The Kinks.  http://www.discogs.com/Various-Searching-In-The-Wilderness/release/3419596

The Lost Legends of Surf Guitar series (I think there's about 4 of them) is really good.

Head on over to Surfguitar 101 to hear their latest podcast, number 15, and all the previous ones

For surf comps on CD, check out Double Crown's The Continental Magazine it comes with a free great comp of current bands every issue

And Deep Eddy Records puts out great comps too

Has been along time, and they played some really good music. Was "broadcasted" out of San Diego if I remember correctly.

Long before this mashup hooey , Rhino released a record by "The Seven Stooges" . 3 Stooges impersonators (Naturally , no Shemp , the uber- Stooge.) doing "I Wanna Be Your Dog".

Yeah, John's right, our very won Spite Classic does the best mashups!

this guy has some amazing stuff, goes by the name ccc 

he does unbelievable things with 60s tunes, and has seriously pissed off the beatle estate.

have a dig around

That fest looks like nothing but F.U.N. Getting up to way too much is never enough garage fun in Europa! *green with envy*.

this year, i'm not going to miss it!

not at all! :D

come to think about it, there's even a pub, in salso, where they play great punk rock records all day (screeching weasel, riverdales...). that pretty much blew my mind when i first went there. but the "festival beat", no one ever told me about that! damn metalhead friends!

Maybe you were too busy studying? ;-)

The program for Cosmic Trip was just announced:

Haha I guess you mean my GP photo and not the one of me with a balloon hat, I'll take the compliment begrudgingly. But you're right, there have been a ton of hosts throughout the years (I actually just celebrated 26!?). Quite impressive you've been doing it that long.

Greg, feel free to send stuff to WMBR, 3 Ames St., Cambridge MA 02142.  LRC is def. more of a new music show than Teen Waste. Thanks.

There must have been a number of hosts/hostesses. You haven't been on for 35 years.  You're too pretty.  I've been the sole host of the Teenage Wasteland.  I'm old and wrinkled and I can prove it.  Just cut me in half and count the rings.

And I will be sending both of you our upcoming EP. :)

Congratulations on being around since 1978 BUT I'm afraid our show beats you.  WMBR's Late Risers' Club in Cambridge/Boston started in May 1977 and just had a grand ole time celebrating 35 years last fall.

We tend to the louder side of things with some metal and hardcore mixed in with our garage, power pop, etc. and I'm pretty sure everyone's clothes stays on. Every weekday morning from 10-noon, 88.1FM and http://wmbr.org (archives up for 2 weeks).

Thank you Bill!  Guess the CD from which I played the Joe "King" Carrasco tune? Hint: It has the picture of a a DJ from New Jersey holding a toilet brush.

Jeff of the Future is TEN years ahead of his time.

The density of the tape in a 60min is the same as what is used in a 30min.  90min onward the tape is made thinner so more can fit into the cassette.  The downside is that because it is thinner and pulling more weight it is more prone to stretch and snare. 

30min is probably more durable than a 60min because there is less of a load to pull but – to my ear - the advantage is marginal. 

Shaun Coleman said:

Why wouldn't 45 or 30 min tapes be better?

The Ultimatemost High said:

90 min. cassettes are good but 60 min cassettes are the best quality.  Tape stretches with each use.  The longer the length the thinning the tape.  Avoid 120 mins.

 

Chrome or high is a good bias.  Normal bias has a lot of ‘white noise’.  The best bias is METAL but it is not compatible with all player/recorders.
