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

SAVAGENESS he attained in the latter years of his life , with Ted Taylor and Brewer Phillips. pLUS , HE HAD NO BASS , CENTURIES BEFORE THAT BECAME THE NORM AROUND HERE IN GARAGELAND. ONLY DIFFERENCE , HE MADE IT WORK. And The Cramps , Gories , Royal Pendletons , and a few other bands made it work, too.

I think of Hound Dog Taylor first, in his late 60's he was rocking harder than ever on Beware of the Dog! I'm 48 and I'll stop only when I'm dead or incapacitated. I think this question is the opposite of the pertinent question today. Step up yr game, you whippersnappers!

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.

Alison said:

I think the "energy and passion" are keys.  Rock n' Roll is youth culture so we are all a bit juvenile here.  It's bands that become "mature" with age and start playing all mid tempo and clean that feel "old."  You have to stay dirty and unhinged.  The Fleshtones are still doing push-ups at their shows!  And if you are a fan, avoid the temptation to grouse about how much better the scene was in your day because rejecting the new kids makes you a geezer.....and an ass!

Here's a bizarre but true story regarding this subject.  We just reformed THE SLOTHS at the end of this summer. All of us Sloth members we apart of the Hollywood Sunset Strip era of 1964 to 1966. No one knew that 'Makin' Love' the 45 the original group made in 1965 but was never released, had somehow been discovered and on the 'Back From The Grave 4' album. Nor did we know The Gories and other bands had covered it, or that an original single with sleeve had been sold for as high as $6550.00 on eBay.  We were all amazed. Ugly Things magazine just did a cover story on the group.  But the point is..all this led to us getting together again (in a garage, of course) and starting playing the songs exactly as we had 45 years ago. Some of us had not played, nor have I sang, in over 4 decades. But it was as if no time had passed. Now we're being booked in clubs and venues. The most surreal thing is we were all around 16yrs old back in the day. Now we're in our 60s playing the music of the 60s with more energy and passion than when we were teens. Too Old To Rock? Not yet, thank God.

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?

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.

mines mostly full of getglue updates and the odd instagram pic but here is is anyway: http://www.twitter.com/thesoberdave

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.

I can't wait to see how exactly C.J. Ramone crosses ANYTHING with "End Of The Century."

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...

This is excruciating, even down to the singing. At leat The Monks were on the show too. She's so unattractive as well, which could be indicative of her career arc.

John Battles said:

You're so right. I don't know what happened to her.....She was playing in a very small club once , years ago , and I could'nt get it together to get down there in time.

Go to "Chic A Go Go" on You Tube and see if her performance of "Rock'n'Roll Santa " is up.

What would be a "worst video contest" without Jan Terri?
