Also Brody Dalle of The Distillers and Spinnerette

I'm really in love with Alison Mosshart of The Dead Weather and The Kills. She has killer stage presence that blows my mind.

I was gonna say Under Pressure, then I was gonna say the final song from Rock and Rule, but I think Deep Purple has a slight edge on both of them.

I live in a very small town in the middle of a shit hole called South Dakota. We never get any good music to come through this state other than old, fading, dying out bands desperate to make their last quarter; so when I heard The White Stripes were coming I practically pissed myself. Then come close to show time Meg had that "nervous" breakdown and they canceled tour...I can't believe I was that close to seeing one of my favorite bands and now there isn't a chance in hell i'll see them. Hopefully I get to see The Dead Weather sometime in my lifetime. 

heres to the next stranger...

My name is Lita, I love coffee and cigarettes on cloudy days and wine and dancing on friday nights. My two passions are art and music. I played drums in a band for 2 1/2 years before we broke up and I'm currently learning to play guitar. I also attend college for graphic design. I'm a shy person, unless you ask the right questions...if you're willing..

Very well could be. Although I have to be responsible for a couple of days. Children in hand. I feel like I am cluttering up the latest activity here at GPH. Everyone else is out playing shows and partying. I am on vacation until the end of the year. I have a lot of time to play. Enjoy.

ArrrrrrGhhhhh!!! I wish a better translatorrrrr
for: "you are playing steering wheel guitar to it. "

but i got the feeling i´m with you! 

:D

ps: i´m stoned again too...
could we possibly be related??

Good point. And songs can grow on you. One minute you can't stand it.  3 weeks later you are playing steering wheel guitar to it.

I´ve heard the song the first time now, is not bad...

why should they stop music? (or even die!?!), guess is what they can do best, anyway!      As long they have people buying records and going to concerts, why not? :)

I saw them here in Austin during the big bang tour.  I thought the stage was more impressive than the Stones performance. It was their first time ever to play Austin. They played Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way. I guess they thought Austin was Hicksville USA and would be impressed. It was a live recording (DVD) and had 5 minute pauses between songs. I still had fun but it wasn't because they were playing.

 I did'nt catch the ZZ tOP SIMILARITY , GUESS i'D HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN. THEN AGAIN , SOME MID - LATE 70'S ZZ TOP IS'NT RADICALLY DIFFERENT THAN SOME EARLY 70'S STONES , TO MY EARS....The one time I saw The Stones , ZZ Top was the opening act. On one level , they were a LOT tighter than The Stones , but , no one really expected The Stones to be that tight in 1981 (Wyman and Watts , of course were locked into that groove the whole time.). I just saw an ad for YET ANOTHER greatest hits package , with "Doom and Gloom" and another new track . It says "Greatest Hits '62 - '02". AND WHAT DID THEY EVEN RECORD IN '62 , much less have a hit with , apart from the Litlle Boy Blue and The Blue Boys home recordings with Dick Taylor on Bass. Those recordings are a hit with ME , but , I sure could'nt see The Stones releasing any of them as part of a hits compilaton. In any case , I'm curious to see how this collection differs from "40 Licks".

ZZ Top must be right fucked off. The Stones stealin their shit. As for them giving up? Why? If all you know is music and your life is music and you're influential in your field and sell out huge gigs everytime you play. You also gain an army of fans every generation that comes along, would you give it up? I certainly wouldn't. Its not like they keep all their cash to themselves, or give anything back. Very generous as a band and as individuals. Long live the Stones. If you think they should give up? Sit and listen to 'Exile on main Street', or 'Satanic majesties' and see if ya still think the same. Do they still have aything to say? No! But then they never really did. Just good honest rawk'n'roll!

Grass Roots - Mr. Jones (Ballad of a Thin Man).

Joe Christ appropriated the song , with different words , as "Your Daughter Died a Virgin." (Nice , I know. But , he was nice , actually.).

Show #396: "Bands & Artists Starting With S, Part 7"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "S". This is the seventh time I've drawn the letter "S", so I will start from where I left off on show #6 (which was with Silver Sand). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "S" like: Andee Silver, Mike Silver, 2 different Silvertones, Jeff Simmons, 2 different Gene Simmons, Simon & Garfunkel, Simon Dupree & The Big Sound, Carly Simon, John Simon, Paul Simon, The Simple Image, Simply Saucer, Nancy Sinatra, The Sinders, Peter Sinfield, Ray Singer, Les Sinners, Barbara Sipple, Sir Charles & The Daze Of Olde, Sir Douglas Quintet, Sir Henry, Sir Isaac & The Do-Dads, and many others!!

Egg

I agree, Donovan is "groovier" and fun. 

But Dylan, whose voice is a bit more of an acquired taste, blows most people away in pure persona and stature, songwriting ability and lyricism, legacy, etc.

He is way more of an icon around the world. He never really faded too terribly much. Now, he is making yet another comeback. 

Again, I don't prefer to sit around listening to his music all day, but he really is a fascinating musical figure as well as musician.

I feel like if a sort of quality vs. quantity argument comes in to play, Dylan wins on both counts. Donovan's output is absolutely miniscule compared to Dylan's. I also think Dylan has aged better and I love how he will play older songs in a fashion that make them unrecognizable from their original versions. In terms of output and songwriting, Dylan's got it wrapped up.

Another thing is that Dylan could never really sing, but his writing and persona make up for that.  The tragedy about Donovan is that he really can't sing anymore. Seeing him on Conan earlier this year, I was downright embarrassed for him.

That said, I think Donovan might have a wider emotional range in his songs. His tracks run the gamut from elation to downright frightening.

As Axel will attest (Because I told him so.) all that stuff was less  than unknown in the states....I followed it as much as I could . I have the Vibes EP , The Stingrays' "Dinosaurs" EP , THE LIVE ALBUM , AND THEIR LATER , MORE PSYCH - ORIENTED ALBUM , BUT , I think I only have one or two Purple Things songs on Media Burn comps.... I have'nt played that stuff in years , but, I did'nt trade it in , either.

Art Phag were very funny. They were actually a spinoff of Detroit's Snake - Out. I saw both bands , but , I liked Snake - Out , better. When I saw Art Phag , I recall them being a three piece - Vocals , drums and guitar. The members of Art Phag/SNAKEOUT DID ANOTHER ALBUM AS THE FUKNOTZ , called "Let's Play Scratch and Sniff With Grandpa's Butt". It's hilarious. Some of the material dated back to Snake-Out's repertoirre.

The funniest thing , which I just learned , was that Dino , from Snake - Out , was in The New Monkees. There's an interview in Roctober #50    www.roctober.com
where he makes it clear he was a huge Monkees fan , and tried to make peace with The Monkees , when he briefly met a few of them , but , it was'nt happening. Neither was their show.  
Axel said:

I wouldn't compare the Purple Things to Deja Voodoo or Bone Orchard but I agree that their first two records on Media Burn are fantastic. If you haven't heard them yet listen to the Vibes, the band the singer had before the 'Things'. Early Sting-Rays might appeal to you, too, like their 1st EP and LP 'Dinosaurs' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiL4CIzDFyc. Another 2-piece band similar to Deja Voodoo(but nowhere as great) was 'Art Phag', on Wanghead Records http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dakg0QpkKQw&feature=related 

I played in a band heavily influenced by Deja Voodoo in the mid 80s but we were sooo bad, I can't recommend listening to us, lol.

MADD BLAKE said:

Deja Voodoo is great, it got to listen to a few tracks from House Of Knives in a Myspace page,  sounds very good! I like the Gun Club too and I listened to Blowstops and sounds good too. Thank you both. I found this other band that sounds similar to the bands mentiones before, 'The Purple Things' you guys should check them out in youtube. 

Amen. We can be civil , without agreeing about everything. This is'nt You Tube.

Can I just say what a classy bunch of guys and gals you guys are. For being such a hot-button issue, this conversation has been downright civil. Cheers, everyone! Glad to be a member.
