Well, McCartney is still playing three hour shows on tour and he just turned 70.

VIVA the FLESHTONES!!! I'm a wee too young to have caught any of their 80s live shows, but everytime I've seen 'em lately they go wild like fine wine ages, baby... (& double down on the quality of the songwriting and albums steadily improvin' with every decade)

Point well taken. I first saw The Fleshtones in 1984 , and , make no mistake ,it was a great show , but , they're so much better , right here , right now , right everything.

YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND SUCH A HIGH ENERGY SHOW , ESPECIALLY FROM SO MANY YOUNGER BANDS WHO NEVER HAD TO PLAY AS THOUGH THEIR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT.

This is not a lie. Hound Dog has never been bad, but if he'd died before making those seminal Alligator albums, he would be remembered as just another no-name on the third tier. The early singles were okay and worth hearing, but too "controlled." I'm guessing he was wilder in the club. And those Alligator albums captured that wildness in a bottle! Possibly one of the few musicians who sounded better in the 70s than in the 60s!

That's what's funny , because when you listen to Hound Dog's pre-70's and pre - Alligator Records (Who took a steady nosedive after his death.) material , it's GOOD, it's honest , but it's not the FOOT - IN - ASS REAL PUNK BLUES "JACK WHITE? NEVER HEARD OF HIM"
SAVAGENESS he attained in the latter years of his life

AND THAT IS NOT A LIE , EITHER , EXCEPT THAT , WERE HE STILL LIVING , AND SOUNDING LIKE HE DID IN THE 60'S , HE'D STILL SOUND BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIER ACTS , TODAY.

PLEASE COME TO CHICAGO.....BUT , DON'T COME FOR "THE BLUES"

Just getting started over there, and it's a business account for my vinyl record dealership. Posts about the best and rarest titles in our shop, music news from off the beaten path, etc. We specialize in rare records on the used market, so we've usually got just one copy of each album in stock, and we don't post endless lines of shit about new releases (there are plenty of other places to find that). If you're a lo-fi vinyl junkie, chances are good that we'll have stuff coming through that you're interested in.

BTW - Diggin the GP feed: Is that a straight RSS? It's handy to have all the updates integrated chronologically with the other feeds I'm following. That's one nice 'plus' to the Twitterverse.

Wrekking Hrs for 6-25-12 is ON THE AIR! LIVE tune in 89.3fm or online whfr.fm & phone apps TuneIn radio or Public Radio Player

Todays show features new music from Jane Rose & the Dead End Boys release "Moonshine, Murder & Poultricide with more from the latest Three Bad Jacks release "Pictures and Memories From Home"

Along with 2 hours of your favorite Rockabilly & Psychobilly music.  Listen in today 4-6pm.

I do a short daily podcast M-F. It's usually two songs (more if the songs are shorter), under ten minutes and feeds out at 5:55am.

I do some "theme" days, Monday is usually covers, Thursday is Two for Thursday (because fuck Tuesday, that's why), Friday is usually Psychobilly. Occasionally I'll do a theme week, a couple of weeks ago I did an SST Records week. 

I'd like it if y'all checked it out. I'd love it if you gave me some feedback. 

It's over at http://terminalsignal.net

Thanks!

I like vsparks too:)  Thanks for posting that link.

As I mentioned before, I really like Prima Donna, and another band that has a glammish sound is Biters.

I love glam, but I think it had it's day. Not too many bands these days can pull it off as well as Hello, Mott, Slade and so on. An era of decadence helped to make it a bit more special. Giuda are pretty cool, not much else that comes to mind for current bands. Maybe I'm just unaware? What would you consider some good current glam bands?

  Anna Calvi did a great version a couple of years ago, you can find it on youtube , sorry don't know how to post a link

You should check out a band called Sharpie Crows they are from New Zealand and are fucking awesome kinda like the fall meets the birthday party

Hey, i remember the Wristrockets! Great poster.

Maybe a little OT, but this seemed like a good place to share this poster, since I don't pull it out very often.

The show was in 2001 about a month after Joey died, at a tiny club in Springfield, OR. It was the 8th Birthday Party for University of Oregon campus radio station 88.1 KWVA. My buddy Goro from The Snukas hand screened these, and only made about 30. He gave me one to put in my shop window, but it went straight into my music collection. Not sure if any more are still around.

Dee Dee seemed to be in good sprits that night, mixing at the bar during the warm-up bands. He and Goro hit it off, and he brought Goro up onstage to sing Blitzkrieg Bop. It was a fun night. I saw a couple of camcorders running, but haven't seen any footage on the web - let me know if you know of any. I DAT taped it, but haven't been able to find it since I moved 4 years ago... I fear it's gone for good.

Jan Terri ..I had a true WTF moment!!! She's got it all! Fantastic!!....

Here's a totally crap video...a hideous version of Apache, with images that explain why punk happened. However as 7ts vids go, it really is nudging the cliche, its so bad its good...
