And worth every cent for the stupid grin it puts on my face every time i play I Can't Hardly Stand It  or   The Way I Walk    or Drug Train   or...the list goes on. Way better sound then the original LP's i've owned since they came out.

I was able to get it for $80 Canadian  when it came out, so theoretically it should be way cheaper in Chicago....

The Cramps    File Under Sacred Music     Early Singles 1978-1981

Best single i've bought in ages times 10 cause there's 10 killer singles in the box. Really nice pressings (at least mine is, and i bought it when it came out late last year) where you can actually hear Lux breathing at times. It's on Munster Records and i've seen copies at a coupla local record stores recently, so there's still copies floating around waiting to be nabbed by the likes of you!

NICE. That image will always remind me of former funnyman , Dan Akyroyd as Tom Snyder and Mick Jagger as himself on SNL.

I'm more interested in picture sleeves than the actual music, I confess. Recently got this one, which I've been looking for forever.

Right off the top o' my head, 2 come to mind  no, 3:

The Dogs first 45- 19/Charlie Was a Good Boy/No Way

The Fun Things single- savage/(I Ain't Got)Time Enough For Love/When The Birdmen Fly/'Lipstick'

And the debut of the New Christs- Waiting World/Face A New God

All moody, cranked-up and pissed-off classics.

The Fall-Outs rule, noone out there like 'em. Plus, Dave Holmes is just a sweet guy.

And this SuperElectro 7"
by The Fall-Outs
Sleep b/w It's A Shame, Talk

I was asked to write a Wikipedia page for my friend's band. After reading the requirements detailing who qualifies for a page that won't be deleted, I questioned whether my friend qualifies, even though she's released 3 albums for actual labels, has tons of press, and plays regularly from LA to NY. 

It's not easy to write a proper Wiki article. It needs to have verified citations from press articles (not online blogs), and be composed of verifiable facts. It's very different from just dashing off a promo bio full of adjectives. Which is why I never finished it.

But yeah, it's true. No one cares about my garage band. I have maybe 25 fans worldwide, and half of them are musicians, who are on the last album. I don't have a band, I have a circle of friends.

IF IT'S A BAND THAT'S WHINING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET ON WIKIPEDIA , YEAH , LESS THAN 10 MIGHT BE MORE LIKE IT  . BUT , IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BAND THAT'S PUT IN SOME TIME , BETWEEN 10 AND 30 YEARS , MAYBE MORE , AND BUILT UP A NATIONAL FOLLOWING OF SOME KIND , BUT , NEVER GRABBED THE BRASS RING FROM THE WHITE STRIPES , OR WHOEVER ,  LESS THAN 1000 IS'NT EVEN ACCURATE . IT'D BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.....AND , THAT'S NOT GOING TO ASSURE THEM A PLACE ON WIKIPEDIA , EITHER .     BUT , THESE CRAP BANDS WHO SEEM TO THINK MEDIA ATTENTION SHOULD JUST BE HANDED DOWN TO THEM , THEY REALLY SHOULD BE GLAD IF ANYONE CARES AT ALL.

Hear hear!!!

We are back in the recording studio next month. Who cares about that? See above.

This is certainly better than growing up...

Touche.   It's just difficult to figure how big a band's following is , if they're very popular locally, and maybe in a few surrounding areas , but are completely unknown , say , 500 miles away.....in any case , we can't expect Wikipedia to care any more than the cops or the neighbors....Someone told me a local band , then on a major label (Ok , It was Urge Overkill!    No , I don't like 'em , and , no , they're not a Garage band to these ears.). But , they said the band was'nt doing so good , "They only sold 100 , 000 copies of the last album.." .I said  "A HUNDRED THOUSAND?!! IN PUNK ROCK TERMS , THAT'S A GOLD RECORD !!!".
 
Cath said:

The "bands" that do that are probably a bunch of 15 year-olds who think nothing exists unless something's posted about it on the internet.

^Less than 1000 people? That's being very kind indeed!

NOW THAT IT'S COOL TO LIKE THE RAMONES , AGAIN (AND IT WAS'NT , FOR YEARS.), THOSE SAME PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY BRAGGING ABOUT HOW THEY SAW THE RAMONES ,IN DECLINE , AND THEY WERE STILL GREAT....

Re John Battles' comment:

"... BUT , I WAS ALWAYS GLAD TO PLUNK DOWN MY CHANGE TO GO SEE THE RAMONES IN THE LAST 12 YEARS OF THEIR EXISTENCE , BECAUSE , WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A PITIFUL FEW (CRAMPS , IGGY , MOTORHEAD , e.g.), THE COMPETITION WAS'NT SAYIN' NUTHIN FROM WHERE I STOOD.

Too right! Even on their bad nights (didn't remember hearing any of those), a night of the Ramones live? Well, it couldn't be beat. Sorry. And it wasn't even that the competition as such wasn't just not saying anything, they weren't PLAYING anything I wanted to hear at the time. If there WAS another show on on the same night, I'd still be at the Ramones, thank you very much.

"...and people throwing piles of plastic cups at the band did'nt help. I don't care if it was the worst show of their career , which it wasn't , you respected The Ramones, or you exercised the right to take your lame ass out the exit doors."

Now, ok, I have heard this before but it still makes me certifiably ropeable. I mean, I can't imagine any crowd throwing anything at the Ramones. Seriously? This happened many moons ago; nevertheless, reading it here makes my blood boil. I'm really glad I wasn't at that show because I probably would have gotten into trouble picking a fight with one of those idiots. *sigh* No respect.

I honestly like them all; Their first post-Sire, post Dee Dee LP album "Mondo Bizzaro is very cool. They didn't fall apart, and sound just as great as ever....

thanks. for now the link would be http://rockandrollradio.org/audio/yyyy/yymmdd.mp3

I think we will be going to mediafire link in the not too distant future.

Radio What Wave Playlist for July 5/2012

1. The Everglades...Rock and Roll Cliche....from the Last Pogo LP that came out in 1979 and is the last stand for punk rock at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto 12/1/78. The documentary film of this event should be coming out shortly. And RockandRoll Cliche sums up Radio WW....a great way to start the noise!

2. The Beatles...Birthday...from the Double White LP and for the Editor of What Wave and my partner in crime, Rena, as it's her birthday on the airing of this week's episode. And when the boss makes 'requests', you gotta play them!

3. Washington Squares...Walls (Polish Union Song) from their self titled debut LP from 1987. We first saw the Squares here in London at the long gone Kiplings, 4/24/88 as it says on the ticket stub. This was our first of many meetings with Lauren Agnelli who played guitar and sang for the Squares. We interviewed the band that night, and the interview appeared in WW zine...

4. Dave Rave...Anne Marie...from the Live With What You Know CD. Great power pop from this former Shaker and Teenage Head member. We also interviewed Dave Rave (he was in Teenage Head at the time) and his interview appeared in the same issue as Lauren Agnelli as mentioned above...neither knew each other at the time. They later hooked up (in more ways than one) in The Dave Rave Conspiracy and later just Agnelli and Rave and continue to play together whenever they get together. And the first time we saw The Dave Rave Conspiracy they blamed us for somehow getting them together...hahaha. And former Television drummer, Billy Ficca was in The Squares and Dave Rave Conspiracy.

5. Big John Bates...Wide Open Blues...from the brand new Garagepunk Hideout download, Supercharged Sounds.

6. Laughing Sky...Come On...from the recently released Divine CD by this NYC based combo.

7. Terror Lake...Transmission...from a very recent demo from this Toronto 3 piece.

8. Drug Free Youth...Ms. Abigail...from the brand new CD The Avocado Index...Greek based psych combo that the nice folks at Lost In Tyme hooked us up with.

9. The Basements...Wrong...from the I'm Dead CD on Lost In Tyme Records outta Greece.

10. Paul Messis...I've Been Through It Before...from the brand new compilation CD that comes with Lost In Tyme #6.

11. The Fiends...Writing On The Wall...from the Gravedigger CD from 1998 on Dionysus Records. Vancouver based garagepunkers that at one time had Pete Fiend on the bass, and Pete is in the next band in this list.

12. Living Deadbeats...Evil Hearted Blues...from the brand new record. This saturday night at Brennan's is the London debut of this Vancouver combo. Also on the bill are Gatgas and T.H.E.

13. Living Deadbeats...Time...from the second Garagepunk Hideout CD, Songs The Hideout Taught Us. This song was also a song of the week at Dirty Water Records in the UK.

14. Living Deadbeats...Lost...from the above mentioned brand new record.

15. T.H.E.....Chronic Masterbator...from their recent demo. Catch them live on Saturday night at Brennans.

16. Sheep Look Up....Jumper...from their only cassette release, early 80's, London based.

17. Hand Of Glory...Bloody Red Sun...from their 2nd LP, Far From Kith And Kin from 1989. Austin based combo with former members of Leroi Brothers, Poison 13, Doctors Mob, Joe King Carrasco and others. A high pedigree band that coulda and shoulda made it big!! On Skyclad Records.

18. The Finks...Can't Say No...from a 7" from 1987. London Ontario based combo that features Peter Gripp who is presently on bass in the Living Deadbeats.

19. Durango 95...Sandra Sez...from their Lose Control LP from the early 80's. These guys morphed into The Purple Toads (both combos recorded on Star Records and were based in Oshawa Ontario) and there is presently a book being written about the Toads.

20. Hypnotics...Here She Comes Now...from their Static Fuzz Radio LP...Windsor Ontario based garagepunk combo!

21. The Ramones...Sheena Is A Punk Rocker...from the Rocket To Russia LP 1977. There's a Ramonsemania show happening at Call The Office on Friday Aug 3rd where local bands get up and play a side of a Ramones LP, including....

22. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants...Eyes...from their latest split 7".

23. Budokan...You Don't Stop Lovin' The Band....from their new CD, Spin A Little Gold. Victoria BC combo who obviously dig Cheap Trick and 70's power pop.

24. Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet...The Allouette, She Was Canada's First Satellite, Way Before The Americans Even on Estrus Records. The Shadowy Men have a reunion show in Toronto in a week or so...

25. Dynamite Pussy Club...Testify...from their recent Church Of Yeah! CD....

Outta time, definitely not out of tunes. Thanx for the call-ins, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! Back next week with more action.

See ya all saturday night at Brennan's for Living Deadbeats, T.H.E. and Gatagas.

Here's a link to the podcasts which are up for one week only:

http://chrwradio.com/podcasts/94-9CHRWThu1800.mp3

http://chrwradio.com/podcasts/94-9CHRWThu1830.mp3

http://chrwradio.com/podcasts/94-9CHRWThu1900.mp3

Both, actually. This is just an example, I'm not out to crucify anyone. To me, all these years later their experimenting w/ different styles just seems cheesy, like something Paul Simon would do. 

Anyway, I'm middle-aged now, so I can be cranky now ;P  I still like experimental punk (Chrome, Desperate Bicycles, Urinals, etc.) but it's got to have energy if not aggresiveness, and hopefully both.

Incidentally, this is what I'm listening to now, this first 45 deserves hall-o-fame status:

The Dogs - Charlie Was a Good Boy "Total bad-assery from France, circa '78." For fans of the Dolls/Thunders/Devil Dogs-style of punk.

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Are you refering to the production of LONDON CALLING or their actual performance?  Because I think that record showed growth while not getting boring.

With that current Ramones thread going somewhere else, I think the best thing to say here is that they could have easily become stale if their 10th album sounded exactly like the first in terms of style.  Maybe a better term would be stagnant to clarify my definition of stale.
 
dave said:

Ya think so, Rod? I recently listened to London Calling again after 20 years, and I've gotta say it sounds stale and affected, while their 1st LP still sounds diamond-sharp. 

The Ramones could still tinker around with slight differences, but it was still essentially "Da Ramones Sound"...

Maybe it depends on the band, but I find that at 48 I still like the "young, snotty, and pissed-off" records. 

Popularity rubs the edges off a band's sound. The Strokes first album sounded great for about one listen, but after that it just seemed  too slick.
