I gotta give Little Steven credit for bringing garage to the masses. He definitely gave the Creatures of the Golden Dawn much deserved national exposure. I see it as creating an appetite for what WE have to offer. Have you listened to the Sirius channel? It's OK and frankly it's more palatable to the average Joe on the street than a lot of the GP podcasts, but there's too much Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Beatles, and other stuff that has me reaching for the dial. 

Me either....I received an email from Underground Garage with the message that is on the website posted below.The email had a link to take me to this website, which i thought would have more info....it doesn't.

Is it a joke?? I dunno, but it sure PISSED me off when i read the $ amounts!!

Apparently, he is trying to raise money for music programs in struggling schools, according to the same website:

How about Junk Records!   Miss them so

i miss MGM

How about Junk Records!   Miss them so

Thought of a few more: Voxx, Scooch Pooch, Hillsdale, Super Electro and Lookout!

I don't think Gearhead or Alien Snatch have released anything lately, either.

All those, but Estrus the most, pretty much?? AND FUCK YEAH, SYMPATHY FTRI! Gosh, if this thread adds up with more posts, it could get depressing, haha.

Sympathy for the Record Industry

Amphetamine Reptile

eMpTy Records

Bag of Hammers

Au-go-go

Telstar

I'm sure there are more... but that's all i can think of right now.

so.... today i was digging through some of my cherished '90s garage crud when i came across a stack of Zodiac Killers records. man, what a great band. got me to thinking... what old (thinking '80s/'90s/early '00s here mainly) "garage" labels do you miss thee most??? i gotta say the top two I can think of would be ESTRUS and RIP OFF. yessir, they both released some duds, but who fuckin' doesn't?!! i also miss the mighty garagepunk skronk of CRYPT RECORDS.

which ones do you miss the most..... or want to come "back from the grave"???

TF

My initial reactions were like this:  

In order

WEIRDOS ON MAINSTREAM FM RADIO!?

WHAT THE FORK IS THIS?!

QUEEN?!

ROCKING DEMO OF WWRY?!

MUST FIND THIS TUNE, NOW 

I know there were boot LP's of peel sessions and demos back in the 80s-90s.

But I don't own any...and haven't heard them either.

i think everyone's missing the obvious question here for mr. kabong, and that is...... WHERE CAN WE GET OUR HANDS ON MORE OF THESE "ROUGH DEMOS" BY QUEEN????!!!!!!!!

Adding Takeshi Terauchi to my list...totally fits my love for the East meets West thing.

Beatles, but I'm a Stones fan, too. I heard an interview with Mark Hertsgaard, the author of A Day in the Life several years ago--one of the best books about the Beatles. He was one of the people who got access to the EMI tape library when they were putting together the Anthology and his book came out around that time. Someone asked him if would write a book about the Stones now that he had written a book about the Beatles. His answer was something to the effect that the Stones were a great band but the Beatles transformed the culture. I thought that pretty much summed it up. The Stones released some great albums and they had a great influence on music, but the Beatles were operating as much on a different level.

Beatles or Stones??? that's easy! BEACH BOYS!!

I would have to say the stones hands down

Thee Tee Pees
Paint Fumes

King Blood, Spacin', Eidetic Seeing.  All are very psych.

Actually, I think money (read: GREED) trumps testosterone.

Men are generally short on that when they have a goal in sight. Check out what men will do for women and it becomes understandable. I'm sure women too, but all the best examples of loss of self respect I can think of are testosterone ones.

Man, that is some serious bullshit. Scary to think that some bands will buy into it so they can play. Whatever happened to self-respect?

Rock 'n' Roll Suicide was a fav.
