I used to think it was "Where the beer cans shine". Is'nt it "Real o - mind"?
 Believe it or not , I have an old 16  WITH THE LYRICS to "Down on The Street" and a pic of IG with his dog collar !

My favotite song to start out down the street with my ipod (I listen to tapes on my Walkman more often , if anything , these days.) is "I Don't Believe in Anything" by The Nevebreakers. Mainly because it's the first song of theirs that turns up , but , also , it's a good one to face the hordes out on the street with....

While I'm walking down the street? Usually it's whatever song is playing in my head at the time.

Which make me think about the first song in the Radioblivion intro i can't figured it out, it goes "Wild Street, Wild Street, I'm just born on a Wild Street", i guess it's a psycho band...

any idea?

Perfect song !

I found a live recording from back in the 60's at the Hollywood Bowl a while back on the net... Way cool performance, immaculate energy produced by the original line-up! Couldn't be matched in the later years by whatever randoms playing for Saxon...

Just uploaded this one. Click on the small YELLOW title to download.

Dunno if this is already old news for everyone, but since I couldn't find an existing topic for it, here goes:

In The Red Records Facebook announcement:
"This new un-named band recorded a single this week at NY Hed studios. Mick Collins, Bob Bert and Kid Congo Powers. Sounds awesome!!"

The Great Uncles of Garage Rock! WIPPEEE! This should be sweeet...

Glad you all liked it. Will keep looking for more gems like this and get them on here.

Suedehead! Very good SoulSka... for the rude boy in us all !!!!

Cheap Freaks, Bury Them All. Trashy garage punkabilly/countryblues. Crampsy,surfy, psychedelic and with a 60's feel to it. Quite accessible and catchy yet GOOD and the album is inexpensive too.

At the risk of self-publicity, can I suggest you have a listen to www.dandelionradio.com - listed as the no.1 place to discover new music by the best UK music blog, Louder Than War?

A broader, more ecclectic range of new and exciting music you'd be hard pushed to find.

I really enjoyed Mo Foster's book on his life in the music industry "Seventeen Watts". It's a sort of mixture of a collection of interviews, anecdotes and gear descriptions, about the early days of British Rock and Roll and Mo's career as a session bass player through the late sixties to the eighties.....it seems to have got stupidly expensive at the moment....hopefully it will get a reprint......

I really like The (International) Noise Conspiracy a lot. The Mainliners are pretty great too. Mando Dio's first couple of albums had a nice garage/punk feel.

 

O and I forgot: another Geraldine album is mentioned "Abenteuer Eisenbahn". (All Music describes it's genre as: pop/rock, children's ??), but it's unclear to me if it was ever released.  Anybody out there who ownes it?

In 2001 Geraldine from (as far as I know) Athens, Ohio, made a speedy, grungy blues punk masterpiece called "Pure Bastard Rock". After that: Nothing.

Does anybody know what happened to them?

Man I wish they would announce some dates... It's been so long just Greg running circles around the subject in interviews etc. Of course Reigning Sound is also working on an album, so we'll see which will come out first. I interviewed Greg for the Finnish Webzine NRGM a couple of weeks a go. He only wanted to do it via email, so I'm still waiting to hear back from him. Man it would be cool if he would make some sorta announcement...

KILL A PUNK FOR ROCK'N'ROLL!!

And one more of the band having to sit way in the back of the Pub because they were underaged.
