YEBO,the one you need is:ROKY ERICKSON AND THE ALIENS-THE EVIL ONE(plus one) as the cd version,because it has the "modern humans radio show" as bonus cd.
This CD is a Roky`s best-and every good man should have something of his musical output!!

...At this very second , I'd say The Alarm Clocks' Ltd. Edition Live LP. If that fails ya , try any of the first four Black Oak Arkansas LPs , or some of the lowest rated Hard Rock LPs in Ugly Things' recent poll - Mint Tattoo (Self titled) , Epitaph (Same) or Frantic ! . OR (independent of said poll.) , you can't lose with either of Captain Beyond's 3 albums.

Haha I was thinking what the hell is a steret?
May 26, 2012 2:12 AM CDT
Hell yeah! That's some great news there. Cool to see you teamed up with Ashley. Loved the note on "Streets" of iron, by the way.
May 26, 2012 5:19 PM CDT
Yeah man, I was looking around in the other threads and saw lots of cool guitars!
May 26, 2012 2:15 PM CDT
Wow. You have some cool stuff. Love the tiki! I'm very fond of waht you call "pawn shop guitars" too, and have posted pictures of some of mine in the other gear thread recently.
May 25, 2012 11:53 PM CDT
Hey fellow freaks, I've been writing about weird gear for a while and thought I'd post some it for y'all to check out. I basically grew up playing pawn shop guitars and grew to really love them. They can still be had for cheap, and with a little work, can be everyday players! Plus they have the garage sound in spades!! Here's some examples of what I'm talking about:
I have tons of weird guitar pics and just run the site as a hobby/passion, and I'd really dig talking oddball gear wit ya.
Cheers

I like both, but the Stones get the edge since I can't think of anything the B's did that I would consider "garage" or "punk". On the other hand, Get Off My Cloud by the Stones was so inspirational to what we support here in The Hideout. The B's may have lived the lifestyle, but their music leaned more towards pop.

Hey.
I just recently(Yesterday) started a lo-fi/noise/beachy sounding band with my roommate after teaching her the basics of bass.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of really beachy sounding lo-fi bands.
By beachy, I mean like Best Coast's early demos (Where The Boys Are/Make You Mine) and The Vivian Girls stuff.
I was also wondering if there are any bands like that with boys singing. We're sharing vocals and it'd be cool to hear some stuff like that.
Thanks so much!
May 26, 2012 10:31 AM CDT
Thanks Zaid, does it get anything like the Reverb Tank "drip"?
May 26, 2012 9:22 AM CDT
The Runaway Sons.
May 26, 2012 3:24 AM CDT
That band, the Muldoons put out some stuff while being in their teens, backed up by their Dad on drums, though. One thing came out on Cass records. Don't know what they are up to now. This one's pretty rad, has rambles on Action figures and such, in it:

I like the "Not So Pretty " comp , too. The Fleshtones tribute is great , too. I've heard The Fuzztones tribute is great , because Rudi was able to procure so many good bands , so even the Haters might find themselves enjoying it. I'd like to see a comprehensive Cramps tribute , no Psychobilly bands , thanks. I liked that stuff to a point , but Lux and Ivy never did. Doug Sahm deserves a good tribute record , though The Bottle Rockets did one of their own. There's a few Johnny Thunders tribs , but "Let's Do This One For Johnny" stands tall , even if it does'nt have Little Bob Story. Cub Koda deserves a tribute . I have'nt seen one for The Dolls or The MC5 , though they must exist. A new and improved Roky tribute would be the ticket. The Sky Saxon / Seeds tribute album is finally on the way .......

I really tried , but could'nt , get into the Stoner Rock thing that much , but , I knew it was crucial to a newly repatriated Blue Cheer making any kind of a comeback in The U.S. , which did'nt happen. They played in Chicago five times from 2005 to Dickie Peterson's death , and , on average , performed for 50 to 150 people , because people who should have been there thought they were too cool. I like the tracks on that compilation , but , each and every Stoner and Cookie Monster - Singing Metal band that I saw play with them......well , The Cheer could've eaten them all for breakfast. Just sayin'.

If it hadn't been for Blue Cheer tributes, I might have never known there was such a thing as 'stoner metal'. "Blue Explosion" is one of my favorite groupings of post 1984 bands.
John Battles said:I have'nt been happy with a lot of 'em , but , that's just me. I DON'T recommend "Sonic Cathedral" , Roky fans. I liked about 5 songs on "Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye". The fact that ZZ TOP did the best cut (OK , it's fact to me, but , a lot of people have agreed .)speaks volumes , tho' , of course ,they cut their teeth on The Elevators when they played in The Moving Sidewalks and American Blues.... I thought KISS did the best track on "We're a Happy Family" , and I have'nt liked them since Carter was President.
The Sam The Sham comp on Norton is very good . Lotta variety , little , if any , filler and a Drew Friedman cover !
"Groin Thunder" is pretty good. I would have replaced the Dwarves' "Strange Movies" with T.Tex Edwards and Lithium Xmas' version , which came out at the same time.
The Waste Kings' "Feels Like a Woman" would have been an asset , too.
I thought Gary Glitter doing "The Raver" would've been choice. It's practically the blueprint for the "Glitter " sound. We've already talked about all that other stuff regarding him.
The now - rare Blue Cheer Tribute CD is also very good , Stoner bands that don't suck and Psych bands that seldom noodle cover songs from pretty much every facet of Dickie and The Cheer's career , and do some really interesting things , for the most part.
May 26, 2012 12:02 AM CDT
The Chocolate Watcband in "The Love - ins". Reportedly , they were'nt shown as prominently as they should have been , because band members pulled some ace pranks on the set , pissing off the powers that be . They're shown , center screen , for about 3 seconds , then mainly from the back with acoustic guitars. The song selection is outstanding , including "Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love in?)" , and an extended "No Way Out". Dave Aguilar told me he was so dissatisfied with "Riot on Sunset Strip" (In which The Watchband kicked ass , of course , netting a large piece of the film.), he did'nt bother seeing "The Love - Ins". I sent him a copy , several years ago.

Bought a guitar the other day, on the day of my late father's birthday, on the day my team was beaten by their rivals, and it arrived on the day of a fellow guitarist's funeral.
That said guitar was a teardrop!
This guitar got MOJO!

Playlist May 24/2012
Finally a show without a topic....just cool rock'n'roll with lots of emphasis on the new stuff that's popped up recently.
1. The Gruesomes....What Wave....from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood on OG Records. First time we've played our theme song in ages and hopefully caught some listeners off guard.
2. BeeGees....In My Own Time...from their very first LP, simply titled Bee Gee's 1st.In mono and on Atco, Canadian pressing. For Robin Bee Gee who passed away the other day.
3. Eliza and The Strange...Disease...from their 2012 self titled debut LP. The are from Halifax, Nova Scotia and are now called Bloody Diamonds, which to me, reeks of late 70's psuedo metal.
4. Reply...Memphis Train...Toronto soul/mod/rock'n'roll combo from Toronto that put on killer live shows! See below, April 21/2012 at Brennan's, right here in sleepy London Ontario.
5. The Ballantynes...The Message...from their recent 7" on La Ti Da Records outta Vancouver. Features a former Tranzmitor or 2 on this soul drenched single.
6. Joey Ramone...7 Days Of Gloom...from his latest, ...Ya Know on BMG. Picked this one up at Walmart the other day.
7. The DeRellas...Go Go DeRella....UK combo on Dirty Water Records, again brand new.
8. Thee Walkin' Jacks...from their brand new online download, Drop Dead. Members of Liquid Vapours crank out some similar sounding trash rock'n'roll...from the east coast of Canada, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
9. Tom Jones....Jezebel...from a 7" on Third Man Records. Jeb Bond of The Evil Farm Children was ranting about Tom Jones awhile back, checked out some of his recent material and found out Jeb was right!! Tom Jones has released some pretty cool tunes recently!! Betcha never thought you'd hear Tom Jones on Radio What Wave! Or The Bee Gee's for that matter!! Blame Jeb!!
10. Terror Lake...Freehold...from the Haggard Beast Toronto comp that came out a few years back. Terror Lake are in town at The Black Shire Pub this saturday along with locals Psycho Daisies (Jack Whiteside of Uranus' latest combo) and Space Slave.
11. Terror Lake...Double Cross of Maxwell Pine....as above.
12. Flamin' Groovies...Move It... from their Now LP from 1978 and goes out to Rockin' Jack Whiteside as he used to play this tune in Uranus.
13. Bloodshot Bill...Cool Breeze...from a brand new 7" on Transistor 66 Records outta Winnipeg. played a little BB Radio ad right after this song. Below is BB at The Victoria Tavern here in sleepy London Ontario and someone's ass is catching Bill's attention!
14. The Phantom....Love Me...from the Lux Lives! download and Lux yammers excitedly about how great The Phantom is prior to the song starting.
15. Orie Hitt Machine...Killer Inside Me....crazy psycho shit from sleepy London Ontario!
16. Boy From Nowhere...Borderline...live at The Brunswick Tavern in beautiful downtown London Ontario...recorded sometime around 1990 and is a carryover from our all live show last week. The Boy From Nowhere always knew how to rock and this here's the proof as they cover a DMZ tune. And speaking of DMZ, the band they morphed into, The Lyres hit Hamilton next weekend and the Boy From Nowhere's bass player will be playing bass for The Lyres. Below is bassist Brian Young borrowing my Vox Constellation IV for a gig at The Langarth Bar and Grill here in sleepy London in 1987.
17. The Troggs...Summertime...from a 7" and a bit of self indulgence for The Troggs who never get played on CHRW.
18. The Troggs...From Home...the flipside of Wild Thing.
19. The Troggs...I Can't Control Myself...now that I've played a set of Troggs i'm feeling much better. I'm gonna start trying to do this every show or 2, feature a band who never gets any airplay on this station, just for fun.
20. Living Deadbeats...Evil Hearted Blues...from their almost released 12"...LD will be in London for 2 shows in July and we'll be plugging them lots prior to...
21. T.H.E. ...Grilled Cheese....mystery band who mailed me a 3 song demo, hand written song titles and very little other info. We've sent the paperwork out to the local CSI who refuse to tell us anything other than this combo will be opening up for The Living Deadbeats London shows in July....and they say you should check them out!
22. The Chickens...Heart That Bleeds....from the Bring It On CD and a special request for regular listener Mike Burton who lost a friend to a car accident recently.
23. The Chickens...Summertime...from the Prepare to Plug In CD....a 4 shot of The Chickens for Mike. For those that don't know, The Chickens featured 4 members of UIC, the coolest band to ever come out of Exeter Ontario. UIC formed around 1980 and used to play London Ontario fairly regularly before moving on to Toronto and releasing several records and CD's....and their might just be another one coming out later this year.
24. The Chickens...Submarine Driver...from the Bring It On CD.
25. The Chickens...Super Bee...from the Prepare To Plug In CD. The Chickens used to make me dance my ass off! Everytime we saw them! Sadly,they packed it in about 5 or 6 years ago.
26. The Smoggers...Shame On You...brand new single from these Spanish garagepunkers...
Outta time, but certainly not outta tunes as we'll play even more new stuff on next week's Radio What Wave. Thanks for all the phone-ins, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!
