    • Fun and some of the ones who have been kicked out are ones I quite agree with. Madonna, like I've said, is just cruise ship fodder. Likewise Abba. Some of the hip-hop artists have been kicked out for the simple reason that hip-hop should have it's seperate hall of fame (It's big enough in its own right to warrant one, isn't it?). 

      I'm not sure about Crass being inducted into the RRRHoF, as Penny Rimbaud openly said they were more influenced by the avant-garde than rock'n'roll. Then, I bet they'd be sceptical of it too.

      I bet one of our nominations would be inducted by Mojo Workout for 2013 and the corporate one's are nowhere alike. Without more ado, here are the nominations for 2013:

        Not very likely The Sonics or Joe Meek'll be inducted this year.

      Our fellows from Mojo Workout on RPR have done the fun job of flushing out the inductees that shouldn't have been inducted in their opinion; then inducted some that should have been inducted ! 

      Pretty fun !

      Personally I agree with Arlo Guthrie when his father Woody was posthumously inducted  and he said to the crowd of well dressed millionaires; "I don't know what my father would be if he were alive today but I can tell you one thing, he wouldn't be here."

      Nuff Said.

    • Forgive me for digressing, but if Michael Jackson was convicted of being a paedo, would he be kicked out of the RRHoF?

    • I started my station www.podunkradio.com 2 years ago as a hobby (a very, very involved hobby) that features unsigned independent bands as well as small underground punk labels. 

      there are many ways to go about starting your own station and many factors to consider before diving into it. After a few months of trying to host out of my home i quickly realized that i needed more bandwidth. There are a ton of companies out there offering radio hosting packages - do your homework and pick a plan that is right for you. START SMALL!!!

      If you intend to play commercial grade music plan on losing your ass trying to pay all the royalties companies that will eventually come at you with their hands out. 

      i tend to stick strictly to music that bands and labels send to me and give explicit permission to air the tracks royalty free (in an effort to build more buzz for the band - you know like radio used to be - a mutually beneficial relationship)

      the hosting company i use is great - in two years i have only experienced downtime once and that was resolved in less that 20 minutes. The plan i am on offers unlimited bandwidth, a huge amount of storage, free auto dj and time slot scheduling as well as free web hosting  not to mention that they offer me perks for being a long time subscriber that pays on time every month. i have an option that allows for my DJs to activate and deactivate the auto-dj so they can take over and roll live shows. it's all pretty damn sweet. and time consuming. - lol. foraging into the world of station ownership is not for the weak or easily distracted. Be prepared to devote your time to it.

      i'll be more than happy to offer advice or assist any of you in any way that i can. just drop me a line a jacks.insanity@podunkradio.com

    • Tommy has a weekly live show on Real Punk Radio.

      What station are you on, Tommy?

      $10.95/mo. sounds like a pretty decent deal.

      Tommy Unit said:

    • Hey, a Fall-Outs fan, cool! They don't get near the attention that they deserve. A sound that no other 'garage-band' had. You may like the Kent 3 (on SuperElectro) as well.

    • I just thought you (or, someone) may be interested in a cover version.  You could ignore my comment.

      Jake Bugg's out on tour with Noel Gallacher (Oasis) just now, and getting a hell'ova time. Loved one minute, slated the next. The problem here is indeed age and the music he's doing. Like there's an age limit on writing folk and blues??? The critics over here need to 'get a fucking grip!' He still has the difficult 2nd album to go through. The critically acclamed 3rd. The being seen out with Scarlett Johannsen rumours, the first solo tour, the last tour, the 'well we thought the last tour was my last tour' gigs all to go with yet. Give the guy some space to develop for fuck sake! If age has any bearing then i have 2 words to say.... 'Arctic Monkeys' Still throwin out classic Rock'n'Roll and started at the tender age of 16

    • Yay! Congrats, love to hear it, any chance of a sample? Used the Princeton live for the first time last night. Still happy :-)  

    • November 27, 2012 2:21 PM CST
    • its the tits ! love it best amp i have ever had, got to get together with the band to break it in a bit, should have more time to rehearse soon.

      not had a lot of experience with valves and their subtleties , my vt 40 did a reasonable job of emulating one but the real thing is SO ! much better.

    • ...Here's an idea I had......IT WON'T CHANGE CULTURES.

      HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD RUMORS ABOUT A PERSONALITY , IT COULD BE MUSIC , TV , MOVIES , LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE , TWO SEPARATE CAREERS AS TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE?  THE MOST UNLIKELY , BUT TRUE , CASE THAT I CAN THINK OF IS THAT UK GLAM ROCK STAR , ALVIN STARDUST , STARTED HIS CAREER ABOUT 10 YEARS EARLIER AS SHANE FENTON , AND HAD HITS , THEN , TOO. THE MACABRE ANGLE TO THE STORY IS THAT ALVIN (NEE.BERNARD WILLIAM JEWRY)WAS ACTUALLY REPLACING ANOTHER SINGER  WHO'D BEEN USING THE STAGE NAME OF SHANE FENTON , BUT , DIED , SUDDENLY.

      INSTEAD OF COMING UP WITH A NEW NAME , THE PREVIOUS FENTON'S NAME WAS PASSED ON TO JEWRY/STARDUST , WHO , BY THE WAY , HAS A CONCERT COMING UP , DOING SHANE FENTON'S ACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 46 YEARS.

      BETTER KNOWN , STILL , ARE - ALICE COOPER /EDDIE HASKELL (KEN OSMOND) -

       THE BIG HOAX.

      KEN OSMOND/JOHNNY WADD (JOHN HOLMES)- THE EVEN BIGGER HOAX.

      QUESTION MARK / JOHN KAY - OK , IF YOU LOOK AT EARLY STEPPENWOLF CLIPS AND REALLY TAX YOUR IMAGINATION , BUT , EVEN THEN , COME ON !!!!!

      THE WEIRDEST ONE WAS A GUY ON THE EAST COAST CLAIMING TO BE PAUL WHALEY , FORMER BLUE CHEER DRUMMER , WHEN BLUE CHEER WERE STILL TOURING AND RECORDING , WITH WHALEY.  HE HAD NO PROOF HE WAS WHO HE SAID HE WAS, AND , ANYONE WHO'D SEEN PAUL ON TOUR KNEW HE HAD TO BE AT LEAST 20 YEARS OLDER , CONSIDERABLY THINNER ,AND NOT POSESSED OF A MULLET.  THE HOAXSTER CLAIMED THAT EVERY DRUMMER WAS GIVEN THE NAME PAUL WHALEY , AND THAT HE WAS JUST ONE OF THEM , AN EVEN BIGGER LIE THAN SAYING HE WAS THEE PAUL WHALEY.

      THIS HALF - BAKED SERIES OF UNTRUTHS DID'NT SEEM TO HURT PAUL OR THE BAND  ANY, BUT , BEING MISREPRESENTED WHEN THEY WERE BREAKING THEIR ASSES , UNDER CONDITIONS MEN THEIR AGES NORMALLY WOULD'NT TOLERATE , TO RE-ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN THE US , WAS'NT PART OF THE SOLUTION , IT WAS , OF COURSE , PART OF THE PROBLEM.
