I have'nt seen it , but plan to , ASAP....it got three stars , and a favorable , front page , writeup , in The Chicago Tribune , and the Chicago Reader gave it a pretty good review , noting it's "Not as fun as "That Thing You Do"". I'd be pretty disappointed if there were nothing dark about it.....Like how young bands got bullied and pimped out by Gangsters  , and harrassed by The Police , at the same time , here in Chicago , and , I'm sure , other major cities. And , God forbid your hair was one strand past the acceptable ,if anachronistic , length. Lots of bands got stomped on for that , or the obvious fact that chicks dug 'em.

Just saw the trailer for this. Has anyone seen the movie? Obviously a heavy Sopranos/Little Steven influence w/ David Chase directing. Thoughts?

Anyone mentioned 'the soul' yet? Lets face it we all know when a song is bullshitting us. When the soul and the gnarl are in perfect harmony then we gotta groove!

You can get a head start on the New Years celebration by listening to the Jeff of the Future Radio Show.  On Saturday December 29th, I’ll be playing the usual garage-punk from 1:00-3:00PM EST on 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu

Cold Sun is working on a new album. I just played at a gig a couple of weeks ago here with Billy in Santa Fe. He was backing ex-Angry  Samoan Gregg Turner. That's Billy on autoharp below.

Divine Horsemen is a good call. They were'nt that popular in their day , but , they put on a GREAT show. Their singer was Chris D. From The Flesheaters , and their Bassist , Robyn Jameson from the same band (a  version of the band.), and their early Guitarist was Cam King of The Explosives , Roky Erickson's primary band , tho' not anymore.....Their  other singer , Julie Christenson, was married to a member of The Conqueroo before she married Chris D.

They combined Country with traces of Punk and even Metal , not as The Flesheaters did , tho' , it was far more subtle....

If you like the Texas Psych oriented stuff , I URGE you to check out Cold Sun , an early - mid 70's "Psych when you could'nt give it away" band , very dark , led by Bill Miller, who later went on to Roky  Erickson and The Aliens. It's some mindbending shit , but , it won't come cheap.

I'm not here for your amusement. You're here for mine.  Johnny Rotten

"Punk is the last music with soul"

I cannot remember who said this. But when I remember, it should be epic

Not as controversial as what I THOUGHT it said, and I was'nt alone (See "Frequently mISHEARD LYRICS)....."hANG ON tO yOURSELF" WAS A BLUEPRINT FOR tHE RAMONES AND THE uk Punk bands. Glen Matlock admitted he got the riffs to "Anarchy in The UK " FRoM "hANG ON tO yOURSELF" and "Fire Brigade" by The Move.  Heavy Cochran.

Maybe a bit controversial here, but i love Bowie

You must understand , Question Mark's ego is in overdrive. He loves to takeshots at better - known performers , like calling Justin Bieber "Justin Beaver" or Lady GaGa "Lady Caca"!

But , I think he and Iggy are on good enough terms , but , when he does a cover , he has to tell you why and how he gave in more "Attitude".....Like , when he did "Don't Give it Up , Now" , and he drops an "F" Bomb.....Jeff Connolly could have done the same , but "?" can take those words that are no longer shocking , and give 'em some venom....Iggy , did , after all , learn from the best - Question Mark , Mitch Ryder , Non - suck Bob Seger, and Scott Morgan , before he arrived at his own thing , that ATTITOOD !  

I´m with QM.... but Iggy has not Attitude? which year did he said that? No comprendo!! ?

John Battles said:

 

"When I did "Girl (You Captivate Me)" , I changed the words to "Girl , You MASTURBATE Me " , because everyone was havin' love songs , and life is a little more REAL than that. When I did "Loose" by The Stooges , I changed it from "I'm burnin' to you , straight from Hell" to "I'm FUCKIN' to you , straight from Hell." , bacause , you got to give it that ATTITUDE , and Iggy ain't got no attitude !!!". Question Mark.

 

 

I like this one, alot!!
thanx Henry!

My Top 10 list (plus 10 Honorable Mentions) appears in today's Santa Fe New Mexican. You can read it all on my blog  http://steveterrell.blogspot.com/2012/12/terrells-tuneup-best-of-2012.html  (plus there's a Spotify playlist there with songs from 16 of the 20 albums>) 

By all accounts , this is (Pre- dullsville) Jimmy Page. Page (still in The Yardbirds.) and McKay met in Texas , and Mckay sent the master tape , minus the guitar parts , to Page in London , who dubbed in this screamin' fretwork.

Mckay (A former Pianist with Gene Vincent's Blue Caps.)appeared in Larry Buchanan's 1966 Schlock Horror TV movie , "Creature of Destruction" , doing a killer version of Little Willie John's "All Around The World (Grits Ain't Groceries ) ", and a great original song about "Batman" (Making certain the opening riff was'nt TOO similar to the TV theme , lest he be sued within inches of his life.). McKay , largely unknown in his day , put out an impressive body of work. I'm sure there's a couple of cool comps on his 60's recordings , but , not living in England , I don't fancy that I'll ever see any of them......

Oh, the Hazelwood -- :D Some jerk deleted that vid clip from BoobToob...

Here's some nice dirty noise for y'all

Scotty McKay Quintet

Oh , but , I have a soft spot for (I believe) Lee Hazelwood's first production on his own label , LHI. "It's a Nice World To Visit (But Not To Live in)" finds Ann - Margaret screaming her lungs out to an intense , Cramps - worthy Fuzz/Psych/ Proto Punk backing. And the lyrics are just as fulla piss and vinegar.  "Nobody wants to hear what ya got to say ....Unless you repeat what they said from yesterday, and if you talk about something new , they just say you're CRAZY ! AND IF YOU DON'T WORK 9 TO 5 , YOU'RE A NO GOOD LAZY....yeh....Why can't people leave my life alone , and think a little more about their own? Let everybody find his thing and DO IT !! Yeh. Nice world to visit ,but not to live in !".

SOME OF THE TRASHIEST , MOST FUCKED UP 45s I can think of , now , include "Zoo's Blues" . AN INSTRUMENTAL by The Lincoln Park ZOO.....SCREAMIN' , FUZZTONE OVERLOAD , FIERY , and, yes , FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE FLIP IS A MACHO SLICE OF GARAGEROCK/CRACKER SOUL with tuff screamin' vocal and more excessive fuzz , with tasty lead Guitar lines. Obviously , it was the "A " SIDE.

By now , I guess , many of our friends , here , know "Fireball " by Mercy (Flipside of the wimp - rocker "Love Can Make You Happy".). It sounds like Travis Wammack and Davie Allan beating the SHIT out of each other. A Fuzztone Instro that GOES somewhere!

The flip is more romantic , even contains some acoustic Guitar ,  but bears a similar screaming lead break....."You turned my Head Around" , written by Hazelwood , bears some strange and beautiful Psychedrlic lyirics.....

'i watched the sweet smoke fill the room. My eyes were blind ,til you turned On the moon....

We were three shadows in the night , doing what we thought was all right , then melting til we were just one , and one , and one.......

This amazing record appears on "I'm Gonna Destroy That Boy ' (Virtually all - killer Gurl Garage Punk) , and a recent 45 set of LHI records.......

Not a new Band, no new Songs.. 
but I just discovered this band tonight and they are (in a way) actually from the same Volcano I´m from. Full of vim and vigor, their live! :)
I didn´t know them. I´m a fan now!

This is Something I  L o v e to dance!!
