YEAH !!! James Porter and I were lucky in that we had many chances to see Honeyboy Edwards , and he NEVER failed , not even well into his 90's.

His story just reeks of rock'n'roll. What an amazing journey, and yes, he died before he got old. Outstanding contribution. In fact any hall of fame from rock to blues would have Robert Johnson in it. so profound was his influence

 

He must be in there , by now.....Even if the judges , themselves , don't listen to him , but , I've still never seen an up to date list of who's in there , now. It may be a little too depressing.

Has anyone mentioned Robert Johnson yet? Surely the gawdfather of all we listen to??? Hope not too controversial. If anyone has mentioned him.... Well done!

Wow. I only ever saw the video to The Circle Jerks' version of "I Wanna Destroy You" on Beavis and Butthead....I had no idea about any Debbie Gibson involvement. It does'nt seem so contradictory , now. Debbie and Keith Morris are both have a Jewish background in common , and , to quote "Fiddler on The Roof" , "It may not mean a thing to you , but , then again , it might.".

The lead singer who plays lead guitar is not a valid answer.  In that case, it's obvious: the drummer.

Answers from personal experience get double points.  Responses relating to your own current or previous bands get triple points.

And don't use terms like prima donna, diva, or bitch.  Misogyny is no longer in.

Haven't heard any new stuff, but I just found this by a Montreal band, Grand Trine.

It's a moody, atmospheric rocker, Grand Trine - Say It

Show #401: "The TeenBeat Mayhem Top 100 U.S. Garage Rock Single Sides Of All Time, Part 2"

Every 3 weeks I leave an open slot to do random themes and whatnot. This week is "The TeenBeat Mayhem Top 100 U.S. Garage Rock Single Sides Of All Time". TeenBeat Mayhem is a book commemorating all the forgotten American teen rock-n-roll bands of the 1960's, primarily focused on the 45 rpm single, written by Mike Markesich (aka MopTop Mike), published by Priceless Info Press, and released earlier this year. I've been enamored with this book since I acquired it this summer, a book that many of us 60's music collectors had been jonesing for since it's original announcement about 2 years ago. Not only does the book have detailed and correctly documented discographies on over 4500 American garage and rock-n-roll combos of the 1960's, it also contains a ranking system, in which 14 of the world's biggest garage rock 45 collectors of the world partook in (including Mike). Nearly each song documented has a rank in a 1 to 10 scale, 1 being weak, 10 being essential... the "Garageometer" ranking system is basically intended to be used as a guideline for the collector who is unfamiliar with a recording, so that if a song is ranked high, then maybe it's worth putting out the cash for that record (cuz c'mon...if the top 14 garage rock collectors of the world can't convince you that it's a great song, then don't bother!).

Toward the end of the book there's a top 1000, which collects and compiles the ranked songs in descending order. Tonight, I am playing the top 100 of this countdown in descending order, and tonight's show is part 2: #50 to #1 of the greatest American garage rock single-sides of all time. The rules for inclusion are: all songs featured were pressed or released on a 45 rpm single, demo/acetate record, from the original garage rock era (1960's to early 1970s), or first issued or pressed within a five year span after it's original recording. So this disqualifies any unissued songs that have been since released from discovered tape sources, and also disqualifies any song that was issued solely on an LP and not a single.

Details on the groups featured tonight will be kept to a minimum, and primarily focused on the music itself. More information on TeenBeat Mayhem can be found at pricelessinfopress.com.

There you go JB, within five minutes you have all the accents mentioned, its the only UK programme that I could think of that has that many different accents in it.

John Battles said:

No , actually , that made a whole lot of sense , NOW THAT YOU'VE BROKEN IT DOWN LIKE YOU HAVE. When I was in High School , I had one friend from Bristol , one from London , and one from Sussex . He was the "Vyvian" lookalike in my first little band.Sometimes acted a bit like him , too. Then I knew a couple of other English people I met at work. I just thought of them all as having ENGLISH accents at the time , tho' , yes , one differed from the other, somewhat...... I don't even know that many people from The UK , here in Chicago. But , I grew up believing there were only a few variations on The English , or even the Scottish , Welsh or Irish accents. Of course , I was mistaken.
 
Mark George Harrison said:

The accent varies from town to town in the UK JB, the town 8 miles from me has a completely different accent to us. All the big cities have a different dialect and the smaller towns/villages near them have variations, you can pick the rough area someones from very easily here.

Only people from Newcastle would consider themselves Geordies, not even Sunderland or Middlesborough which are next to it are, they're from the north east.

The black country is Birmingham, Wolverhampton etc. but only people from Birmingham are Brummies, confused?? I am!

Moxie is a character from "auf wiedersehen pet', hes a Scouser, from Liverpool, the north west. Cant remember where his nick name came from. Its a good programme to watch to hear a lot of English accents. Pat Roach, aka 'Bomber" on the programme is from Bristol so you get all points of England covered. 

Bostin used to mean that something was good, and was used by Fuzzbox for their album for that reason, Bostin Steve Austin was also used, it was a Birmingham slang term.

Hope that helps, it probably doesn't, even living here I sometimes struggle with people if their accents are very broad, and then when you try to understand Aberdonians or someone from Devon! Help! subtitles please!

Mark George Harrison said:

Bloody hell JB! you can't call someone from the 'black country' a geordie! Both as difficult to understand but a lot different. If you watch an old episode of 'auf wiedersen pet' to hear geordies (os, Dennis and Neville) and Barry (a brummie) you also get a scouser in Moxie and a 'cockney' in Wayne. A nice little mix of English dialects with a bit of German thrown in as well! 'Barry' (Timothy Spall) is actually a cockney in real life but his accent is really good, in fact its 'Bostin" as they say in Brum!

John Battles said:

Mark George , I almost forgot about the "Buddy Holly "album that turns out to be Richie Valens  !!!! THAT'S ALL KINDS OF WRONG . Maybe they could'nt get permission to actually use a Buddy Holly NUMBER (EXCEPT FOR A TITLE) , AND RINGO'S FORMER BANDMATE WAS A FEW YEARS AWAY FROM OWNING HOLLY'S BACK CATALOGUE. In any case , why not just show the record , but not play it , or say "Hey , This is the Richie Valens record I waited for."

It's not Rocket Surgery. I REMEMBER READING SOME REVIEWS OF "SLADE in "FLAME" " , complaining that it was'nt the latter day " Hard Day's Night" fans expected....But , maybe , it's that it WAS'NT what anyone had a right to expect that makes it a better film , today.

I just say , to anyone who's never seen it , look at it with an open mind. They were exposing their distaste with an industry that had opened so many doors for them , but , now, was showing them the door. They kept making good records. I'm not saying they were remarkably consistent , but their early 80's "All guns blazing" comeback with Reading , "Slade on Stage " , "We'll Bring The House Down" , etc., took no prisoners , I don't think even their hardcore fans saw it coming. They almost became stars in America soon after, too , with "Run , Run Away" , but were'nt able to tour, in earnest , to capitalize on it's success. Rather, they refused to , Jimmy Lea , I think , was in a car crash , and they refused to tour, with a stand -in ,  until he recovered. 

I think the movie flopped in America , not because Slade were unknown. I knew 'em , and I was 10 or 11 years old , but , they did have a limited audience , and they fought harder than Bolan or Sweet to get ahold of a US following and KEEP it. It flopped because we don't speak Geordie ! Of course , today , Viz comics have proven a great boon to me in that department.

never seen the Roky film, shall have a look for it.

Stardust is ok for its time, took me a while to realise Ringo had been replaced with Adam Faith, with a limp from when he got beaten up in TBTD!

My favourite bit in TBTD is when David Essex picks up a Buddy Holly album and says he's waited ages to play it, puts it on the dansette and Richie Valens starts crooning Donna!

Slade in Fame was dark as you say JB, I remember it coming out at the time and Slade fans were really disappointed because it wasn't what they expected, it is as you say really well acted, might have a look on Amazon for a copy.

John Battles said:

The Stray Cats in "That'll Be The Day" was a fictional band built around Dave Edmunds. I know you knew that , but , it reads like you were referring to  the well known band of that name (SADLY , The Rockabilly Revival  pretty much began and ended in America with them .). I've never seen "Stardust " , though. "The Stray Cats " were credited on the soundtrack.

Setzer claims it was a coincidence that his future producer's movie band had the same name as his real - life band. If you liked that band, though , you'll love Nilsson's pub band in "Son of Dracula "- Moon , Bonham , Frampton and Entwistle or Voorman , I forget , they all go by so fast , except Keith , who gets , like , a minute - long drum solo.

You know , I've only watched "Slade in Flame", once. I was surprised that they could really ACT. It's got a very dark tone for a good - timey band like Slade , though they were about to enter their own Dark Ages. They were getting heavily into not - so heavy tunes , but , the soundtrack holds up well. You've got to love Noddy's Screaming Lord Sutch parody , too.

There was serious talk of a biopic on Roky , several years ago , but , it never came about. Perhaps it will , someday.....

It's true , if they really told his story , a lot of people would'nt believe it.

Roky's Son , Jegar , did a very good short film , in which he portrays his Dad. Even though he favors his Mom , Dana , he went to great lengths to make himself look uncannily like Roky.

No , actually , that made a whole lot of sense , NOW THAT YOU'VE BROKEN IT DOWN LIKE YOU HAVE. When I was in High School , I had one friend from Bristol , one from London , and one from Sussex .

Thanks a lot. And it's a great start. I pull everything off of youtube and post a half hour to an hour's worth of stuff.  My friends love it, it would seem.

I started buying too many reissues or just older albums I forgot to buy during the 80s and 90s during the last decade.  I really love King Kahn and the Shrines.

Here are some "rocking" songs I have enjoyed since 2000:

2000: Compulsive Gamblers "The Way I Feel About You"
2001: Deadly Snakes "West Texas Sound"
2002: The Von Bondies - "It Came From Japan"
2003: The Kills - "Cat Claw"
2004: Sons and Daughters - "Johnny Cash"
2005: Les Sexareenos - "Everybody Sexareeno"
2006: Jay Reatard - "Blood Visions"
2007: King Khan & the Shrines - "Land of the Freak"
2008: Nobunny - "I am a Girlfriend"
2009: Those Darlins - "Red Light love"
2010: Ty Segall - "My Sunshine"
2011: Night Beats - "Puppet on a String"
2012: King Tuff - "Bad Thing"

BOY ,THAT'S A TOUGH CALL , AND NOT BECAUSE NOTHING GOOD CAME OUT FROM 2000 TO 2012 , JUST NOTHING THAT LEAPS RIGHT OUT AT ME......BUT , I'LL GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT. I KNOW ROCK'N'ROLL AND THINKIN' DON'T MIX , BUT I'LL DO SO IN MODERATION.

On my facebook timeline, I like to do what I would consider my version of a show, I guess.  Currently I'm doing a year by year look everyday and I'm at 1994 (I'll be on 2012 on the 31st) but I started to slowdown on record buying around this time and I never really caught on with what was going on after 2000 for sure unless it was already a band I liked or it just blew up, like the Black Lips did.  I like what I've heard on podcasts but it's not like I remember everything or write it down.  I enjoy the moment.  I'm just curious what you guys would consider the most rocking songs of the past 12 years would be and I think that would help me out.  I try googling "most rocking songs of (put year here)" but it's nil.  Or even "real rock and roll (year)" and it's just hopeless.  I'm doing ok now but by the time I get to 2000, it's gonna be crappy unless I find some good suggestions.

This list is just "at the moment", and it goes into the fringes of accepted Stoner, but here goes.

First of all, All Hail Sabbath.  It all starts there, and for my money no one has come close.  But these are still a blast to listen to: 

Robot Lords of Tokyo, Dirty Power (they only did one album but serious ass was kicked), Sheavy, Greenleaf, Clutch, Alabama Thunderpussy, Radio Moscow, Ponemaro Sundown, Fu Manchu, Unida, Goatsnake (I know, I know, but I mix it in anyway), Blowback, Southfork... 

Apparently the top of my head doesn't hold as much info as it used to.  There are many more, but hell if I can remember who they are.

Yes , this sounds like it came from a place where there was so little Marijuana to go around , that The Grateful Dead could'nt get booked within 500 miles.

 Are Tiger! Tiger! considered Stoner Rock? Innocent question , I only know them by name , and that the band also features Buffi Aguerro from The Subsonics and Vendettas ( Whose husband is Patrick O'Connor from The Woggles and , sometimes , The Subsonics. One of the last true gentlemen in Rock'n'Roll.).

 Are Tiger! Tiger! considered Stoner Rock? Innocent question , I only know them by name , and that the band also features Buffi Aguerro from The Subsonics and Vendettas ( Whose husband is Patrick O'Connor from The Woggles and , sometimes , The Subsonics. One of the last true gentlemen in Rock'n'Roll.).

Good stuff!

Oooh, my head (sound of head hitting wall many times)! Metal/Garage degrees-of-separation! It's great, 'specially since I love Mastodon so much, but, wow...

Now that I know there's a band called Harvey Milk, I *hafta* check 'em out!

Thanks, Alison!

Yes, Zoroaster and Harvey Milk rule.  Now let me make a connection between Georgia metal and Georgia garage rock.  Susanne Gibboney of the Atlanta garage bands Lust, The Vendettas, and Tiger! Tiger! is married to Brann Dailor of Mastadon.  Also, the beautiful cover art of Tiger! Tiger!'s awesome 2012 album, "Cut Them Where They Bleed," was created by Baroness lead singer John Dyer Baizley.

You said it.  The Georgia bands are KILLER.  I'm a really big fan of Zoroaster and Harvey Milk.  If you like Harvey Milk, you need to check out Whores, which was produced by a guy from Harvey Milk (http://whores.bandcamp.com/).  Really one of my favorite EP's of 2012 (it came out end of December 2011).

Also, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats have been getting a TON of press this year.  I'm impressed.

So many Georgia metal bands, including: Zoroaster, Withered, Apocalyptic Visions, Torche, Mastodon, Harvey Milk, Baroness, Kylesa, and Royal Thunder....

But my favorite "stoner" band is the UK's Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats...

Ah, nobody plays up there anyway!
