Okay, I was thinkin' I hadn't seen a movie this year, but online I did, and it gets my vote as one of the best flicks of this year.

We Are Legion - The Story of the Hacktivists (Full Movie)

Lord, I' ve watched it 3 times this year (laughs).

Holy Christ, guys, I didn't even know about the Dark Shadows re-make, but you've made me want to see it! (haven't been to a movie since Pan's Labyrinth, so ya know 'ya done good')

Lately Burton's been getting a bad rep amongst reviewers, but I never know exactly what their beef is. Everything I've seen by him except for PeeWee has that Goth-y/geeky vibe, so what were they expecting.

(Alice Cooper had a funny cameo in Wayne's World [I know, everyone's seen it, but...], another goofy rock and roll romp.)

(I heard Penelope Spheris would never work with Mike Myers again, if she could help it)

PARANORMAN ? AFRAID I DON'T KNOW IT....I'm just now talking to people who DID like "Dark Shadows". I know , what's not to like ? JOHNNY DEPP , DONE UP LIKE LUX INTERIOR , HELENA BONHAM CARTER , FOR A CHANGE , NOT PLAYING AN OLD WOMAN OR AN APE . ALICE COOPER AS HIMSELF , "THE UGLIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD" , WITH EXTRAS WHO LOOK ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE ALICE COOPER GROUP (MY TECH HEAD FRIEND , WHO'S PLAYED WITH MEMBERS OF THE ACG , WENT INTO GREAT DETAIL ON HOW ACCURATE THEIR GEAR WAS IN THE MOVIE.) , T REX AND STOOGES ON THE SOUNDTRACK , AND SPOOKY ATMOSPHERICS PLAYING OFF BURTON'S USUAL DRY HUMOR ( I'm often the only person laughing at his movies , but , everyone was laughing , this time.), AND , SIR CHRISTOPHER FUCKING LEE !!!!!!
 
IDON MINE said:

Also dug DARK SHADOWS and the Frankenweenie - did you get to see PARANORMAN, or is that out of question?

Best Comeback, great haha, right on.

John Battles said:

Movies by Tim Burton - Dark Shadows , Frankenweenie.

Best comebacks.     Pee Wee Herman , Bloodshot Bill , Iggy Yoakum .

Thanks for that, Joey!  Stoner is one of my favorite genres, but I never heard about that site until now.

Joey Fuckup said:

In case any of you guys are interested, I came across this blog that specializes in late '60's-mid '70's proto metal, doom, stoner, heavy prog & psych, and yes, even snotty garage. It's called "The Day After the Sabbath", and Rich (who operates the blog) unearths lots of obscurities from all around the globe. He does widen the span a bit to go into the '80's, and will also include newer bands from the stoner rock genre, usually doing a cover. I know this thread is narrowing on the newer scene, but there is TONS of stuff on there for download that you guys would dig. Check it out here: http://www.aftersabbath.com/

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.

Alex said:

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.

Alison said:

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...

Just found out the new Kowloon Walled City album " Container Ships". is available to listen to on their band camp. It definitely fits on this thread. http://kowloonwalledcity.bandcamp.com/album/container-ships

Radio What Wave Playlist Dec 6/2012

It's all women's voices day here at CHRW as a memorial for the Montreal Massacre that happened in 1989. Women engineering students were selectively murdered by a maniac...

So every year since this tragic event, CHRW has done an all women's day. So i'm in the background on this week's show, Ashley D (every monday at 3:30 PM, Ashley hosts Magical Mystery Mondays on CHRW) is on the yammer stick giving you all the details about the songs. We started this one an hour earlier than usual, 5PM and ended at 7PM.

1. Joan Jett....Roadrunner...from the Fit To Be Tied CD. Joan takes ownership of this Jonathan Richman song and makes it into a screaming rocker.

2. The Zellots...Soldiers...from the latest WW cassette, Slippery's Club Hits. The Zellots are playing their second show since they've gotten back together tomorrow night at Call The Office. This is the beginning of our London Ontario set.

3. The Zellots...Land Of The Free...recorded live at Call The Office Oct 27/2012.

4. Dead Rabbits...Into The Future...recorded live at The Cedar Lounge 10/9/81.

5. The Hippies...Canteens...also from Slippery's Club Hits. The Hippies released only one 7" when they were active from about 81 to 84.

6. Jane Doe...Dance With Me Henry...from their only single. Sort of a collective of London Ontario musicians who got together for this single...members of Ukase, Zellots, 63 Monroe and others were involved in this project.

7. Ukase...Jealousy...from a demo CD. This band released only 1 single and this particular song was originally done by The Zellots.

8. Scratching Post...Beam Me Up...recorded live at The Brunswick 8/13/93 and features Nicole Hughes on vocals/guitar and she now writes music with some big names in Toronto.

9. Arco Di Scarico...Wild Wild Boyfriends...1995 demo from this band that morphed into The Black Holes. Viv Sun supplies the wild wild vocals on this one.

10. Alcohollys...don't know the name of  this song, but it was recorded live at Call The Office 7/23/12 when they played with The Living Dead Beats.

11. CordCalling...Wicked Desire...recorded live 3/26/09 on Radio WW. 2 piece combo that play just about anywhere in London Ontario.

12. The Curse...Killer Bees....recorded live at Forest City Gallery 11/25/77 and was only the second ever punk show here in London. It was also the first punk show here to have a poster, which just happens to be on display at Forest City Gallery as part of our Graphic Underground: London 1977-1990 exhibit. And we have a closing night party on Friday Dec 14th. And this  is also the start of our out of town bands visiting London as part of our all women's music show.

13. The Curse...He's My Boy...as above.

14. Rough Trade...It's A Jungle...recorded live in the early 80's at The Spoke on the campus of Western University.

19. B-Girls...B Side...from their only single and features local drummer Marcy Saddy.

20. Poles...CN Tower...from their only 7" from 1977...Toronto combo who only released one good record.

21. Martha And The Muffins...Paint By Number Heart...from their Metro Music LP from 1980.

22. True Confessions...He's A Liar...from their only LP, self titled from 1980. Another Toronto combo.

23. Tyranna...Johnny....from the recently released LP on Rave Up Records from Italy. A Toronto combo that for some reason, history doesn't want to remember.

24. Sparkle Moore...Skull and Crossbones...from the Rounder Records compilation, Wild Wild Young Women and the start of our female rockabilly set.

25. Wanda Jackson...Fujiyama Mama....from the Rockin' With Wanda CD.

26. Janis Martin...Bang Bang...from the That Rockin' Gal LP on Bear Family Records.

Yeah , like most of you , I suffered through some pretty heinous Stones tracks in the 80's and 90's  , only to change my view about some of them....A friend of mine once said " "Emotional Rescue" is'nt The Stones...I could'nt listen to it , every day , but , it's not bad , for what it is.". I think "Voodoo Lounge " was the beginning of getting back on track , though I still did'nt like it enough to buy it. "A Bigger Bang !" sounds like a real Stones album. All credit must go to Don Was. But , it was around that time , they started presenting themselves with a few challenges ,like playing smaller venues (Something they've done in the past , I know.) , and songs they've never tackled , live. I was trying to get a ticket to their 2003 show at The Aragon Ballroom because I knew they'd do a lot of songs they NEVER do.  I just heard a crude , but acceptable , copy of last week's (Week before?)  London concert. Not only do they still have it (Yes , mistakes were made , bit , no moreso than , say , in the Late 70's - Early 80's.) , but "Doom and Gloom" sounds pretty fucking good ,live.

This is one of the reasons why I got into music: storytelling. Stories aside, I've loved The Stones since I was a teenager and quite like this song. Their best stuff's never dated, still sounds fresh today.

will up the vote for the Swamp Rats again, another for Los Saicos, then put this up for fun

although the looks are a wee bit dodgy, I think the main issue with this is the fact that its efectively a guitar-shaped synthsizer, & you have to download stuff from the internet to know how to use it!  The self tuning, & USB wireless connection could make playin live easier... BUT, easier definately doesn't always mean better!

The Blue Giant Zeta Puppies said:

YEEeeeuch!!!....that is possibly the nastiest Gibson I have ever seen......I LOVE the early P90 "non reverse" Firebirds....but that is just hideous....(and totaly agree about B.C. Rich.....)

Dead Nachos said:

I up this topic, but seriously: BEHOLD the Gibson Firebird X!

Just search for the specs of this so-called guitar and you will be really mad! 

Also, any B.C. Rich is the uncoolest guitar in my opinion...

I've managed to find the All Music Guide entry about them, which tells their story. That said, "Blue Tomato" looks like an early 90's boy band cover or updated Village People. Village idiots, more like.
John Battles said:

Good God , is that group from 1990 really the same band , or some of the same people , even?

I've seen modern Garage bands lose the script , but ,not like THAT ! AS I SAY , I WAS'NT FAMILIAR WITH THESE GUYS. ONLY IN NAME.  PEOPLE WERE ALREADY CALLING BANDS LIKE THIS "CLICHE" BY 1986, BUT , I WOULD HAVE DAMN NEAR KILLED TO HAVE HAD A BAND LIKE THIS WHERE I LIVED , IN '86. AND , DON'T THINK I DID'NT TRY TO START ONE OF MY OWN !

This is quite awful, it sounds like a boy band playing their own instruments. It makes me wonder whether it was a gradual process or just an abrupt turn to the dire. How did it happen in the space of four years?

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.
Mark George Harrison said:

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.

Was that the dog's full name ? That would be funny. I always thought it was just Mark Farner. I knew Jeff Coffe (King Vitamin , BHS Drummer) , IN PASSING , WE HAD , or have , SOME MUTAL FRIENDS. I ran into him on the way to one of his own gigs , but not before sticking my head in some practice space to see some young band doing a hilarious version of "We're an American Band". My friend's band , The Mystery Girls (The fr'real Mystery Girls from Chicago , accept no substitute.)opened for Mark Farner one time , late in the 80's. By this time , he was alternating between Grand Funk faves and original Xian Rock tunes. Curiosity caused many of us to withold our laughter. But , it took him so long to go on , I left. 

That's it! Thanks, John! The dog's name was Mark Farner Of Grand Funk Railroad.

Lery's dog was named Mark Farner.
 
dave said:

Um, it's almost painful to bring up, but many of those early punk bands had extremely
Catholic tastes in music. Greg Ginn loved the Dead more than just about anyone, and he'd listen to free jazz, and anything else he could get his hands on. And of course the Surfers (Leary in particular) loved hard rock/metal like Grand Funk Railroad (isn't his dog named after their drummer?). Tim Kerr loves the Dead, fer cryin' out loud!

Love that Leary story, hell, I can actually see it happenin'.

Ha, you put the screws to Lillian Roxxon, let's hope kids know how to find better stuff now on teh Interwebs...
John Battles said:

When I was in College , the same people who listened to Hendrix and Cream also listened to The Butthole Surfers. It was'nt that far of a stretch , I hate to say.......Though , of course , The Butthole Surfers were a lot more experimental than their predecessors......

But , what does that have to do with Urban Legends in Rock , you say?

Well , an interviewer asked Paul Leary from The Butthle Surfers , "How did you learn to play like Jimi Hendrix?" He said , he was on a bad acid trip , where , at some point , he was convinced he'd be come Jimi Hendrix. When he came back down , he discovered that he could play"Just like" Hendrix..... That's an old myth that's probably made it around High Schools all over the country. A guy takes acid , thinks he's Jimi Hendrix , either regards the notion as a silly thing , later , or , ends up in a mental hospital. But , Paul's story ends up with him somehow channeling Jimi. He certainly played more like him than wasotherwise acceptable in the "Hardcore Uber Alles" days , but , the tide was turning ,  Feedback/Skronk bands were copping to being influenced by Late 60's Heavy Rock and Psych. Bands like Sonic Youth , Big Black , Live Skull , Scratch Acid and Lithium Xmas  were moving in , unashamed to use a Vox Wah - Wah pedal or a Big Muff Pi before Seattle made it fashionable. Flaming Lips were big on THE Late 60's - early 70's Mainstream Rock tip , which would have probably got them burned at the stake a few years earlier  . I never got it with 'em , myself , but , they were one of those bands , poised to go national , that you did not dare say you disliked , just like (Brace yourselves)  Smashing Pumpkins......
 

I highly recommend Roxxon's Encyclopedia , if only for the inaccuracies and stuff that appeared to have just been made up.......Like listing Led Zeppelin as the then - current (1969  ? ) Yardbirds lineup , or dedicating a small chapter to "Punk Rock" , meaning Early Alice Cooper , Bloodrock and Black Sabbath. IN THAT , THOUGH , IT PROBABLY WAS THE FIRST USE OF THE TERM IN PRINT.
dave said:

I stand corrected, but you can keep the Cream, ack! Bad High School memories, always looking for 'good' music (this was the early 80s, you whippersnappers, ;) !) See, the trouble was my thinkin' that a school library would have a book on good music (it's an 'adults vs. kids' mindset we're talkin' about, heah). I found Lillian Roxxon's Encyclopedia of Rock. Started reading about names I heard, like Hendrix, and yes, Cream, and thought, these guys sound interesting. I went right out and bought all of the Cream discography. BIG mistake! Worst garbage I've heard ('til I got to Hendrix, Jethro Tull, etc.).

On the other hand, my 1st roomie, a friend from my class, loved all of that crap, plus 'Hippie-lite' stuff like Blood Sweat, and Tears, 3 Dog Night, etc. Needless to say, we parted ways after a semester, and my new roomie turned my onto Flex Your Head, the Butthole Surfers, the Birthday Party, etc. It was a good year!

Thanks for letting me ramble...

John Battles said:

Well , while you're thinking about it , dave , that's not an actual quote from the song......listen to it sometime , when you're in dire need of boredom , you'll pick up on it.

They can do no wrong. And yeah, that 45 was cool, Wedding Song was good, too.

Show #400: "The TeenBeat Mayhem Top 100 U.S. Garage Rock Single Sides Of All Time, Part 1"

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 and next week, I am playing the top 100 of this countdown in descending order, and tonight's show is part 1: #100 to #51 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.
