That must have been unbelievable. The 2nd time The Pretty Things Yardbirds Blues Band played here in Chicago , there were only about 40 people in attendance. The upside of that was , I got to visit with Dick Taylor at length. He's a sweetheart. Spoke to him briefly at The House of Blues , too , while a bouncer , not quite secure in his masculinity at all , was shouting at me to leave , even while I WAS leaving.

God , There's so many.

Feels Like a Woman , Strange Movies , Gonna Make You (Even the 70's version.) , Lost Girl , Just a Little Too Much *, Evil , The Yella in Me , Maybe The Madman , Heads or Tails ,

Say , Darlin' ,  Hip Hip Hooray , 66 54321 , Girl in Black , I Can Only Give You Everything **,,

Surprise , Surprise (I Need You) , From Home , I Can't Control Myself , Night of The Long Grass , Supergirl , Hot Stuff , Suspicious , I Don't ,   I Do , I Do , and a zillion others.

* A Ricky Nelson/Johnny and Dorsey Burnette cover. Their version is SAVAGE.

** Recorded shortly after THEM's original.

My favorite Troggs ballad is probably "A Different Me". "Queen of Sorrows" , too.

What they did to "Satisfaction" and , especially, "Good Vibrations" is a whole 'nuther animal.

FIRST POST - Post all your favorite Troggs songs here, I love the songs I have heard but have never owned an album or any 45s, just wanna hear some of the ones I may have missed...

  As someone who holds a BFA in fine Art & who has been playing music for 40 years, my feeling on the subject is that any real artist needs to be true to themselves. That is why I decided to stop trying to make a living off music. I have another career that supports me. This way the music I make is music that I like. I don't have to compromise or sell out because that's not my goal.

Exactly.

Selling out means changing your sound/vibe/look/ethos in order to please the masses and get more attention and make more money.

Chuck Berry's greatest vehicle song , and one of his best songs , period , barring possibly "Maybelline" , was "Downbound Train".The original "SS396" was released (Twice) as a promotional 45 by Paul Revere and The Raiders. It's been comped a couple of times on Raiders collections , and even on the first "Mexican Rumble: Psych- Out South of The Border" (!!). 'Night Train" was always believed to be about a train , but , maybe also about that FINE beverage (Buy it by the bottle , puke it by the roadside.), if only as an in - joke . When James Brown got around to doing a vocal version (The first?) , he rattled off all the train's destinations ("Miami , Florida, Atlanta , Georgia !)...... 

Screaming Blue Messiahs - Jesus Chrysler Drives a Dodge (love that tittle...)

. If you like the bands you mentioned....maybe I'm dead wrong , but , I saw God Bullies once , and they sounded a lot like The Birthday Party to me. I started listening to The Jazz Butcher again , recently. They were all over the place . Loosely associated with the whole Garage/Trash /Psychobilly thing , as was some of the Goth and Gloom MUSIC HAPPENING AT THE TIME. Lindsay Hutton told me "The Cure , The Cramps and Siouxsie have NOTHING in common except that maybe they all use a lot of hairspray !".....You might want to check out the Blood on The Cats (LP and Video) and Revenge of The Killer Pussies" (LP) comps if you have'nt already. Bone Orchard and Inca Babies appear on 'em , as well as The Stingrays , Vibes , Milkshakes , Screaming Lord Sutch , Sharks ,  Even Shockabilly. NO ONE sounds like The Cramps , but , they influenced so many other bands. Deja Voodoo , admittedly ,  sound like a Cramps bootleg. That's GOOD. In more recent years , The Dyes wear their influence like a badge. 3-D Invisibles are'nt really Crampesque , but , they're some of the best modern Horror/Novelty Punk Rock.

I was at a loss to mention anything that is NOT The Everly Bros. , but , that does'nt mean I don't have other favorite duets or vocal duos.

"Year One " by X . Did for "No Trespassing"by The Ventures what The Cramps did for so many other instros. "I'm Coming Over " must be 1:30 or less , too.

these are the songs less than 2 minutes in my phones playlist ive been rocking http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dUXjiiPhRiQ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xsOmUCRiLzQ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NzZKO-fLZSg http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZEvLHY_wak http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja2NXS3njXs

IT MAKES ME FUCKING SICK , MAN.   BTW , CUNNINGHAM WAS STILL JERRY LEE'S BASSIST AS OF LATE LAST YEAR WHEN I LAST SAW JERRY LEE , AND , NO DOUBT , HAD'NT RETIRED , BUT NEEDED A DEMEANING AND DANGEROUS SHIT JOB LIKE THIS TO PAY THE BILLS. I SAW B.B. DO A SOLO SHOW WITH JAMES BURTON ON GUITAR AT THE PONDEROSA STOMP. IT WAS GREAT. OF COURSE , HE DID "LET IT ALL HANG OUT" (DR. IRA MADE HIM DO IT TWICE !), AND HIS EARLIER ROCKER "BANDSTAND ROCK". HE BROUGHT SO MUCH TO JLL'S BACKING BAND. THE KILLER ALWAYS HAD FINE GUITARISTS LIKE KENNY LOVELACE AND JAMES BURTON IN HIS BACKING BANDS , BUT , USUALLY , CLUELESS BASSISTS AND DRUMMERS , WHENEVER I'VE SEEN HIM IN THE PAST 25 - PLUS YEARS. THAT SHIT STOPPED WHEN B.B. ENTERRED THE PICTURE. CUNNINGHAM MAY NOT BE HELD IN AS HIGH REGARD AS DONALD "DUCK" DUNN  IN MEMPHIS , BUT , HE WAS WELL RESPECTED , AND JUST DESERVED BETTER.

Thanks for the posting swt -- a senseless, crazy crime. Such a loss.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for getting back to me. So many amazing bands you've been in! I'll get some questions written up and email them to you. I'll try and come see your new band when you play in Dalston too, not too far from where I am.

Cheers

Hey Garagepunk Hideouters...

After years of lugging CD's and LP's with me to DJ gig, I think I'm finally ready to switch to working off of a laptop. 

Any suggestions for decent and usable DJ software to run on a Mac laptop? I'm willing to pay if it's totally killer, otherwise something free would be preferred.

Also.. any thoughts about an outboard soundcards? My friend runs one so he can designate one soundcard (cpu headphone jack to mixer) as channel one, and the other (external USB driven soundcard to mixer) as channel two.  He then plugs the unit into the external mixer for choosing the channels, fading etc.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

Thanks

D.E.
