Can there be such a thing? I say 'yes'. There was a huge debate over here during the summer fueled by BBC 6Music's, 50 greatest punk tunes, debate. Alot of furore over The Prodigy gettin in there. Gasp! in the top 10 no less. I think The Prodigy are more punk than some other bands out there masquerading as punk who are no more punks than my doctors left foot. DAF and Suicide (dance???), but you get what i mean. We cant afford to be precious, but if it rocks..... It's punk!!!

Have this on us Brits, USA. Amazing

Hey , Andy .    Well , shedding a light on the trash is what I should be doing (Being as how we have racoons in the alley , sometimes.). Of course , Our Lord Which Art in Heaven , David Sutch , is dearly missed. Do you know that , in The US , his obituaries (Including one in Time magazine.) largely dealt with his political career , which , I know , most people called a mock political career , but, he shook things up for some 40 years , and several of his proposed bills have since become laws , with someone else taking the credit.

He was an innovator , in the rock arena (As opposed to Arena Rock.) , too , wearing his hair IMPOSSIBLY long , several years before The Beatles and The Stones arrived (And even they looked like Oi Boys , by comparison.). Of course , he jump started the whole Horror Rock thing , before Arthur Brown and Alice Cooper upped the ante for Theatre in Rock , but , I originally mistook him for a crass Screamin' Jay Hawkins imitator , and would'nt give him a chance. Once I "Got it" with him , I realized , well  OF COURSE , Screamin' Jay was the far better singer of the two , but , there's room in my heart and on my record rack for both....

I would'nt call Wesley Willis a "Garage Rocker" , I think he fits safely in the mold of "Outsider Artist". His songs were frequently hilarious ,but , they all sounded the same.

I found him to be extremely annoying , personally. I could'nt abide by his head - butting women at random , one of my friends from an out of town band was traumatized by this , before I had a chance to warn her about him. He could be comparatively "Mellow" , but , you never knew with him. He was banned from nearly every club in town at one point. But ,of course , I never wished anything bad on him.  That has nothing to do with his music , or his hysterically funny musings. I just was'nt riding on the Joy Bus , sorry.

But , to me Roky is the true King of Horror Rock , BUT , they're both Kings , Roky being the American Horror Rock King , and Sutch , The King of England. He may have never actually served in Parliament , but , The Monster Raving Looney Party was rated Fifth largest party in Great Britain.   People like this brought colour (Intentional spelling) to a culture that was drab and seemingly humorless (Though you've certainly produced some of the finest Comedians OF THE LAST 50 - something years.). Carry on Screaming ! John.

Apart from this slice of lunacy, i know absolutely nothing about the band. John Battles sheds some light on them in a post above. I love the schlock quirkiness that comes out in some bands in the great and good garage punk scene. Kim Fowley must have a cupboard full of unreleased madness. Others that springs to mind are 'Roky' and 'Screaming Lord Sutch'. Who can forget 'Jack the Ripper'? Wot a tune. Later on he became a pseudo politician in Britain, fronting the 'Monster Raving Loony Party'. Mavericks like this are sorely missed or overlooked these days... Why? i've no idea. 'Vive la Difference' Does Wesley Willis count as Garage? I think he should, haha

 

 

Kopper , The Coctails were a Chicago - based band that started up around 1990 , maybe '89 , I'm not sure, but , I'll say '90 , because that was when I first saw them. They became VERY popular in Chicago , and were , I guess you'd call 'em , the house band at Lounge Ax , one of the last great places in town, where nearly all the great shows happened.  Their reign only seemed to last few years , and ,when that single came out (I don't know who T. Lance is.) , I was'nt aware they were still together. I think it was just a one -off. But , various members went on to much bigger things , at least , locally , like The Sea and Cake , and , more recently , Drummer , Mark Greenburg (Who also lived in Dallas when I did.) has joined Eleventh Dream Day , who were HUGE , back when . Archer Prewitt , too , is now an established Cartoonist with 'Sof'Boy". A "Reunion' was staged on "Chic - A - Go Go" , with NO original members , even tho' Mark was stitting in the audience.

But , I'd place that single somewhere between '95 and '98 , maybe?

The Coctails definitely recorded some 45s, AND MAYBE A CD OR TWO , ON THEIR OWN , but , I never really followed them.  I think T. Lance was a friend of the band , that got them to do the recording after their apparent breakup.

I used to spin "Aba-Daba Do Dance" on my old radio show all the time, but I never knew when it was recorded. It totally sounds like a '60s recording, but I'm pretty sure it was newer... right? Were they a '90s band?

Aside from that single, I know nothing about T. Lance & the Coctails. Did they record anything else?

the 60's recording stands on the cd land of 1000 dunces of candy records (1994)

"Worst Record Ever Made" by Althea & The Memories (Kim Fowley) 

There's so many , and , yet , there's so few , y'know what I mean? I'm more interested in findinding utterly stoopid songs from back in the day , as you mentioned above.

I have that "Aba Daba Doo" 45 (The B-side is a pretty good version of "Why" by The Dirty Wurds.). I think it was the last thing The Coctails ever did. In fact , I had'nt heard anything about them in years when that record came out. This is VERY atypical of their repertoirre , not that that's a bad thing....They were more into this Lounge Jazz and naive 60's Pop Rock thing. Their promotional gimmicks were astounding. I wish I could say the same for their music. Nice guys , though. Anyway , you got.....

Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Paralyzed , Who's Knockin at My Door , etc.

The Driving Stupid - Horror Asparagus Stories , Green Things Have Enterred My Skin , Gladys , etc.

Ralph Nielson and The Chancellors - Scream!

Tommy Martin and The X-10s - The Hoochie Coochie.

Elastik Band - Spazz.

The Novas - The Crusher    (Don't let the fact that you've heard it a Thousand times prejudice you. The guy sounds like he's choking to death on his own vomit !).

Bunker Hill - The Girl Can't Dance (Again , it still sounds like Bunker jumping off the Empire State Building , with Link and The Raymen taking the stairs , no matter how many times you hear it.).

New Colony Six - Legend of The Batwinged Marmaduke.

Thee Midniters - I Found a Peanut. (The Alpha and The Omega on Musica Garaje Estupido.).l

 

Gallon Drunk and Lydia Lunch. Wots not to like??? Astounding!

Egg

Thank God they are still around,gives all of us old rockers some hope.The new songs are good not to mention the Some Girls and Exile re-releases w/all those unreleased songs thats like 3 new stones albums in the last few years,Oh yeah and the new movie Cross Fire Hurricane.......All Hail the Stones!

I like the song, but it took a few listens to sink in.  I think the surprising negative is there's no clear Keef hook.  The man generates hooks in his sleep.  Why didn't he distinguish "Doom and Gloom" with a strong guitar hook?  The vocal performance is what finally got me.  It's got Jaggerswagger.  It's been a while since that's been seen.  I don't think it's a great song, but it's a good song I won't turn off when it comes on the radio.  Might even sing along.  

Because the are so much better at it than Aerosmith? Because they are doing what they love, have done literally their entire adult lives, done it uniquely well, and will keep doing it into the grave--and folks are envious?

I don't know Andy C. but I agree with your observation 100%.

p.s No one is really that pissed  that Aerosmith are releasing and touring again. In fact they're being loved for it. Why are Jagger an Richards bein picked on?

New email from Norton Records:

For the first time in Norton’s history, we are asking for your help. It has been entirely against our policy and nature to ask anyone for anything, in the entire history of our magazine and label. It hurts us to even suggest that any of you who have supported the label and our artists by purchasing Norton records over the years, to support us over and above with a donation. But it has indeed come to this. We have added a donate button to our website. Here’s the story. Every penny of what you donate will go into remanufacturing record jackets and sleeves for the vinyl that we salvage. No donation money will go into our day to day expenses so long as we can go forward on a minimal budget. If we get to the point where we cannot meet our monthly budget, we will ask again. But now, all donations go into getting the Norton label records back out to the public. We will write more about the procedure in days and weeks to come. Several people have benefits in the works, and we are grateful to you all. Send us any benefit links and we will post and propagate on the Norton site. If any of you are computer, website, internet geniuses, share your smart thoughts with us.

I've got an extra promo copy of The Chesterfield Kings' Live Onstage ... If You Want It. Comes with a DVD of the performance.

I'll send it to the first one who sends me his or her street address.

 

Also Matt Kurz One.. he's got way to much going on...

Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt has a one man band project called Black Pus... Both are pretty dang rad..

I'm Calvin. I'm a kind of a weirdo, or at least that's what they tell me. I eat skittles, watch cartoons and dick about on the internet. I play voice, and guitar. How do I end this? I feel like I'm rambling or something.

Oh Dylan for certain. If only for Highway 61 Revisited. But I like stuff from throughout his career. His last 3 or 4 albums aren't his best, but they're better than most the stuff her did in the 80s. He wrote some great gospel songs too.

But Donovan did some fine stuff too. Others have mentioned "Hurdy Gurdy Man." There are a couple of cool rockers on the Sunshine Superman album,  "The Trip" and "The Fat Angel."

My favorite Donovan covers:

"Sunshine Superman" by Husker Du

"Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Butthole Surfers

"The Fat Angel" by The Jefferson Airplane (Live versions available on a couple of albums."
