    • As much as I love my stoner, I never really got into Dead Meadow. Something about the guys voice I think, pretty bland. Maybe should check them out live to see if it's an improvement.

    • The Christmas single with Screamin' Jay Hawkins and the Fuzztones, which sounded sooooo good, at least like such a good idea absolutely SUCKED BALLS!! Plus I'll never get over all those reports about what a dick Rudi Protrudi was, but, to be fair, I screamed and yelled at some of my band members when they would cancel practice behind my back and I'd go ballistic. Probably my worst confession was that I treated playing garage like a job which I took seriously and took offense to those who referred to it as "fun" or as a "hobby"  FUN is riding a roller coaster or having a party with lots of colorful balloons and a hobby is something like collecting stamps or building little ships that fit inside of bottles.

    • Well , you should have seen the Elder Janis in Green Bay , wearing leather pants , smoking and drinking PBR in the can  , saying "I'm a DIRTY BROAD!!" AND ROCKIN' THE SHIT OUT OF THAT PLACE........I'd say , give her another spin. I never thought of her image or her sound as being badass. Just some good Rockabilly music.

      Here's something even more sacrilegous:

      Janis Martin. The so-called Female Elvis.

      Have a compilation that I've only played once.

      I thought it sounded just a little too camped-up. Maybe I should listen again. Seemed like her image was more badass than her actual music.

    • Oh what the Hell - White Stripes , Jon Spencer (Barring The Gibson Bros.) , Detroit Cobras , Nashville Pussy , Oblivians, Black Lips , Reigning Sound , Mummies , (POST - TEEN GARAGE) Greenhornes ,  FLAMING LIPS (80's to the present.) , Deadbolt , Billy Childish *, Cheater Slicks , and , God rest his soul , just the same , Jay Reatard , The Reatards , etc.. I liked one or two of his later songs , that's about it. 

      * I bought my first Milkshakes record in '85 or '86. After tons of hype and about 100 records , he lost me . I could'nt even get in to see Thee Headcoats , and my friend's band , who brought in a lot of people themselves , got $100 to split three ways , for opening . I saw Buff Medways , thought they were awful.

      "Dang me , dang me. They oughta take a rope and hang me". I don't totally hate all the bands I named. I just don't get it.

    • Also , Gene Vincent and The Blue Caps , Eddie Cochran and Johnny Burnete and The Rock'n'Roll Trio. Punk is just Heavy Cochran.

      The Shitty Beatles rose from the ashes of Garage Echo , a worse than obscure Dallas Garage / Surf band. They stuck it out for a couple of years , doing sloppy Nuggets  , Elvis , and , yes , Beatle covers , along with a plethora of catchy and hilarious originals. They were over 30 and wore hornrim glasses years before that would get you laid. The local scene was ageist and Led Zeppelin  hair - ist. Even Horton Heat had to bust his ass to build a local following , being 27 , with hair slowly thinning . Key members , Jack Turlington and Cap'n Brewkid , joined up with French Acres (Late of Avant Garage confrontationalists , The Norvells , whose singer , Sally Norvell , later formed Congo Norvell with Kid Congo Powers. She is the reason The Shitty Beatles were mentioned in "Wayne's World".).

      Wildfang's hard - to - find LP , produced by Paul Marotta of The Mirrors and The Styrenes , comes recommended. I found it peeping out of the front of a box of Gay Dance 12"s in a thrift store.

    • I had a similar thread here a few years ago with 9 pages full of nominations. 

      And I think it should be in Tacoma. We could get some cheap real estate and they could use the tourism. Plus weed is legal in Washington now.

    • There should have been a big festival in Seattle for the 50TH Anniversary of " Louie , Louie" , but .....did'nt happen.

    • January 14, 2013 9:37 PM CST
    • The time is ripe for someone to organize some kind of garage/rock 'n' roll festival in the Seattle/Tacoma area. It's been more than a decade since the last Garage Stomp. And hey, weed is legal in Washington now! 

    • January 14, 2013 5:04 PM CST
    • Well, it depends on who's playing as well. Beat Bespoke is coming soon. March 28-31. Frowning Clouds and the Strypes are playing. The other bands don't really tickle my fancy (Corner Shop??). Purple Weekend is in November or December. I'm more partial to Spain anyway (seeing that I'm not welcome in Britain without a huge hassle). Let me know if you go to León I might be there this year.


      Shtbird said:

      Only festivals I can possibly go to this year are Le Beat Bespoke or Purple Weekend. Too busy to be able to take time off April-November, when the majority of festies happen. Still, I'm gunna try my best to make Ponderosa Stomp.
      Any recommendations on which of the two to go to? Don't really want to dish out the cash to fly to Europe two times, but I'm lucky enough to to have family to stay with/reason to visit in Spain/Switzerland. Figure if I try for Le Beat, I can buy a cheap ticket to London (I hear March + April are cheapest to fly to Europe). On the flip side, I'm already pretty fluent in Spanish, y me voy a encantar un otra ves para practicar/otra lugar para conocer.

      And who knows? Maybe I can scrounge the dough for both.

    • I was going to add "Flush The Fashion" to the thread on albums wih one good song.
      But ,I like Alice's version of "Talk Talk", as well as "Clones (We're All)", but were there really as many Rock /Disco cro$$OVER HITS AS WE'VE BEEN TOLD. "Miss You " is'nt Disco , from where I stand ....They did do the "Disco" verson for the clubs. The album version was Disco ORIENTED , yes. The Stones' real Disco songs were "Dance" , "Emotional Rescue' , that lot. "Hot Stuff" was earlier and closer to Funk.  Of course , I could be dead wrong . I , unfortunately , saw Smashing Pumpkins for $3 , when they were starting out , and never would have been convinced they'd amount to anything , so , no , I've been wrong , before . Blondie had "Heart of Glass" , but did atone with "Dreamin'" and "One Way or Another". I guess I don't totally hate "Heart... " today , I think it's funny. Psuedo Giorgian Bubble Gum .....or did Moroder produce that , too ?

      I thought "Turn Me Loose" by Loverboy was Donna Summer. I'm not kidding !

      Ah hell yes!  That was a fun album.  A bit overcompressed, but cool songs.  "Clones" is the one that people sometimes remember, but it's a little bit polarizing with Alice fans.  They either dearly love it or really hate it.  I love it.  "Headlines" was nearly as cool.  And "Nuclear Infected" was pretty fun, too.  There are a few things on that album better left unplayed, though.  

      Thanks to this discussion I've dusted off the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.  It's all your fault.  Hope you're proud of yourselves.

    • "Up Against The Wall" is a song I loved ages ago and somehow forgot about.  Thanks for the reminder.  Looks like I need to pick up another OhEx album.

    • You are correct as regards GG doing "Up Against The Wall" off the fourth ((!)) Ohio Express album. I believe it is on the EP with "No Rules" "NYC Tonight" and "A Fuckup." I had no idea it was a cover until years later, when i picked up the "Mercy" album and was like...HEYYYYyyy!!!!

    • I think even GG Allin did "Up Against The Wall" by Ohio Express, when he was with the Jabbers. The JAMC were also indebted to bubblegum pop, just with more feedback (no, make that loads more feedback).

    • FIDLAR. Fuck It Dog, Life's A Risk.

      It ain't often when ya see a band who practices what they preach. Luckily, ain't that hard if all you're trying to do is get fucked up and have a good time. This 4 piece out of LA is aggressive, sloppy, and fun as fuck. After several badass EPs (DUIDIY, No Waves/No Ass, Chinese Weed) these punks landed a LP with Mom & Pop records. From start to finish, the album is packed with chaotic anthems for every alcoholic who likes to raise hell. Songs like "Cheap Beer", (I. drink. cheap. beer. so. what. fuck. you.), "No Waves", and "Wake Bake Skate" beg to be played over and over again. My personal favorite is "5 to 9"; short and sweet. There's even a noisy rendition of the folk classic "Cocaine Blues" as a closer, rhyming couplets and all.

      These Surf/Garage Punx may of had a beer too many, but fuck all if they can't still hold their own. Rock 'n roll ain't dead, just really drunk and kinda stoned. Be sure to pick up a 24 rack and this album on Jan 22. Don't be a dick and pirate leaks like me. These guys deserve it.
      Check 'em out on bandcamp, or catch them live if you can. (I hear they're a blast)

    • It was our Christmas present to ourselves and we are really enjoying it so far.  More of a reference book than an actual straight read, but the articles and photos are great.
