Hope you are okay.

Hello everybody!

I'm Kekka from Finland, been a record collector more than 30 years. Been singin' & playin' on few different rock'n'roll/rockabilly bands. First band started '78. I collect all kinda roots music mainly from 50's to early 60's... stuff before them "fab four".

(http://www.myspace.com/rockin8balls) We're planning to get on gigs again with rockin' 8-BALLS...

(here's 1 of my projects: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SPUDNNICK-The-Roughshods/164103173676854 )

Dave: It was a rockin' show here in London On too!!  Rudi hooked up with a real young girl at the show here, Jailbait by Andre Williams springs to mind!!

dave machine said:

Yeah, have to agree with whatwave dave, I saw the fuzztones in Waterloo On around the same time at the City Hotel, and it was a rockin' show. I have the album, Live in Europe on  Right Side Records and Fringe, and  I still like it. Don't be ashamed John, some of us don't give a shit about the poliitics, we just remember a good time and still rock out to your tunes. I do remember someone in the "scene" of the time complaining about the singer coming on to their girlfriend. So he's a womanizer, no shortage of them in the world. Act accordingly.

Sorry John, couldn't resist, but here's a picture of John C as a Fuzztone in London Ontario Canada 4/5/87 in the Fuzztone uniform!!  And it was a great show that night too!!

Don't go getting so hung up on the obscurities that you forget the hitmakers. If you're going to do a documentary on the genre, the Gentrys and the Castaways are just as important as Ned Nobody & the Never Heard Of. Maybe more, since they were more visible (and audible).

Well, to be done right, it would have to be enormously comprehensive. With thousands of garage bands sprouting up all over the world from '65 thru '67, it would be quite a task. The best way to go about it would be to do a series of documentaries and focus on regional scenes, such as Texas, the Pacific Northwest, Michigan, Australia, etc. Sort of like how the later volumes of the Pebbles comps were focused.

CHARLIE DON'T SURF!

John- That's true, I think most of us want to know that we're fighting the good fight, and you can't mass-market cool (not to toot our horns, ahem ;) There are still people out there who are shocked by the ideas contained in punk songs.

HE WAS RIGHT , OF COURSE , BUT PEOPLE THINK ROCK'N'ROLL HAS BEEN GENTRIFIED....

ONLY THE CRAPPY , STREAMLINED STUFF HAS BEEN.....LIFE HAS A WAY OF REMINDING US THAT ROCK'N'ROLL IS STILL OUTSIDER MUSIC , AND , I THINK MOST OF US PREFER IT THAT WAY.....

dID'NT sPLODGENESS aBOUNDS ALSO DO THE "tWO pINTS AND A pACKET OF cRISPS" or whatever , song , too? ....It seems I saw different versions on TV and in the movies in the mid - to late 80's. I remember being surprised to see Invisible Sex , English Beat , Splodgeness Abounds ,  and Chelsea when I saw it on the big screen....BUT , i THINK THEY SHOWED IT IN IT'S ENTIRETY AROUND THE SAME TIME , ON CABLE.......I only taped a few bands , at the time...You've got to remember, blank video tapes were at least about $6 in '86 ,when I first started using a VCR in earnest..

HERE ON MY BUS , i'M NOT SAFE HERE AT ALL...MY  TIRE GOT STUCK IN A MANHOLE, "THANK YOU , NORTON " , THAT'S ALL.....

Gary Numan is on it.

i'm I'm I'm I'M -A THE CHEF OF THE FUTURE !

There is'nt , but for the same reason some people say "Elvis Presley or Elvis Costello?" , some folks feel a need to make that distinction.....I don't LOATHE Bocephus , but, he does'nt do anything for me , either...."Hank III" , I SAW ONCE , EXPECTING A GREAT COUNTRY SHOW , BASED ON GLOWING REVIEWS (THAT IS , WHEN HE WAS'NT DOING AN AXL ROSE, and splitting after 10 minutes .)....If he wanted to do some Punk Rock , too , that was all right by me... Instead , he did this HORRIBLE  Sub - Rage Against The Machine/Ministry (Minus the drum machines, at least.) set that  never waivered in it's suckiness , with genius lyrics like "If you don't like our Hillbilly Punk Rock.....FUCK YOU !!!". THE GUYS IN HIS BAND WERE VERY NICE . iT JUST WAS'NT COUNTRY or Punk , Nor anything I needed to hear. I've no doubt he does good shows when he wants to , but that put me off , pretty much for good....

I'm probably more forgiving towards Hank Jr. than most people (and I'm still on the fence about Hank III), but even so...there is no need to put the word "Senior" in front of Hank Williams' name.

 I used to meet people in my own neighborhood with similar tastes.....But , we had a great record  store , which helped.Now , there's no small business , because the University (Fuck you , Loyola.) has taken over everything , no sense of community. It's all college students. I don't begrudge them , but , it's a REALLY square environment. Even Goths or Hot Topic Punks ARE A RARITY .....a FEW YEARS BACK , THO' , I was making some flyers , at a Kinko's driven out by Loyola , TWICE , when a young guy asked me if I knew about THE (fIRST) Nuggets box set. He asked if I thoughthe should buy it.....I said , yes , because it took years for me to find those songs , and now you and I can have them all, with GOOD sound.......I told him , he's lucky to be around now , when there's so many great re-issues . Then he asked me if I liked Hank Williams , Sr.    I told him ,there's only ONE Hank Williams.

We were also asked to come up with a garage primer, way before the Nuggets box sets were available (and it was on cassette because burning CDs was not yet an option).  Songs we included that haven't been mentioned yet..

Ain't No Friend of Mine - Swamp Rats

Try It - Standells

Shake - Shadows of Knight

Milkcow Blues - Chocolate Watchband

What A Way to Die - Pleasure Seekers

You Burn Me Up and Down - We the People

Thoughts of a Madman - Nomads

Save My Soul - Wimple Winch

Wild Man - Tamrons

Action Woman - Litter

I Hate You - Monks

Tienes Algun Dinero - Shakers

My Iconoclastic Life - Beech-Nuts

As easy as its become to pull these sorts of lists together and create a playlist on an iPod, I kinda miss the days of pulling out the vinyl, cueing up the track and hitting "record" on the tape deck and trying to figure out how to get maximum use of a side without cutting off a song. 

Well, if we're talking about single femme bands, Australia's OWN sex dolls can't be beat for TALENT in garage music:):):)!!

I agree :):)

Demolition Dollrods 

on of the best!

I hear you John, The $20 Hullabaloos 45 was musically disappointing, {I don't mind their Buddy Holly type stuff} but to find it in WV was. well, enough shock for me to splash out.

I feel sorry for my 2 year boy who now is my hunting companion on our day trips out of this  hicksville holler to the big ...lol city.  I fear for his future.  " Dadee, wecords, dance" and you are right, perseverance will get you something eventually.  Round here it is bluegrass/country gospel that is the main eyeball fodder.  Occasionally, I am so desperate for a vinyl fix that some religious atonal tripe comes home with this atheist, my wife's' eyes roll, "honey, I only spent 3 dollars on all these records and this one is worth 50 bucks.." "but you never sell them" " hummm, actually those records have payed rent in hard times"

Ana sorry for hijacking your topic xx

John Battles said:

That's funny ,now I have 6 bucks.....I don't believe in spending too much, Thebest stuff I've found was a dollar or less,.....BUT , that's because I look and look and look until Lester Young , Dinah Shore and Barbara Streisand are rolling around in my brain......A lot of people can't handle it , they jump ship. Amateurs, Good on youwit those finds.

John, me too rarely spend 1 buck on a 45 these days.  But today 20 of my $33 bucks was spent on The Hullabaloos "i won't turn away now" picture sleeve, knocked the antique lady down from 35.  Also got a bunch of small label releases including a pretty cool lo-fi primitive "garage?" 45 by a band called The Townsmen You left Me Crying/Friends on Albun.  I can find no mention anywhere on the net about it... I love it and hate it when that happens.  Another unknown 3rd rate garage beat found.

Also cool doo-wop Arthur Butler -Lock Stock and Barrel (one went for 80)

and this soulster... way cool.

http://youtu.be/MfnM1X-U6OU

So now I have 6 dollars to spend on Yo Yos.

Here's a long shot of the old bass.

I don't bend the wood, I glue pieces together and sand them. Pro shops would also lathe them on CNC machines or something, but drums don't require that kind of thing, just ask any djembe carver.

I'll try and post some pics of our bass player's old Strat and pedal steel guitar that he inherited from his dad. It is a bit of a shame that he's playing an old Sears type bass when he has this kind of guitar too, but, hey it's only rock and roll. May as well post a pic of the bass too. It may be a legend by now!

This is my 75 Gibson Les Paul Triumph Recording bass. One of only 200 made in white. (which has faded to yellow) It's one of the best sounding basses I ever heard.
