Kinda never.  It was easier when I was younger and in college where people often defined themselves by their musical tastes so it was a constant and accepted conversation.  Now I feel too old to let people know that I still collect records and go to shows.  Happily, my husband shares my musical interests.

But seriously, there's always Ken Burns...

Now that would be a perfect fit! A forgotten and ignored legacy of musical significance (like Jazz).  But I'm sure someone like Ken Burns may dismiss it as not having the drama, and profound significance on culture to warrant his expertise.

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.

Agreed!  And a good angle for marketing the project would also be the legacy of popular Rock bands who's origins came from this important time of experimentation and creativity! For example The Spiders (who became Alice Cooper), Golliwogs (Credence Clearwater Revival) Terry Knight and the Pack (Grand Funk), The Heard (Bob Segar), Grim Reapers, Paegans (Cheap Trick) etc..

No chance in hell of this happening, but my first awesome daydream of the morning is to somehow get David Attenborough to do this.  Second place, Herzog.  I can only imagine how absolutely ridiculous either of those films would be.  But seriously, there's always Ken Burns...

hands down, HOZAK Records is putting out tons and tons of the best new garage every month....the groovy tashy lo-fi slimy kind...not the comb your hair forward, poser kind..

http://hozacrecords.com/

I hear it all.  You cant go wrong w/ Hozak.

...and I'm sure everyone here has a working knowledge of Estrus Records by now.

The Pebble's records never fail, Cherrystones is also good.

Here are a couple newer bands that really take the lo-fi thing to new lows:

Black Time, Times New Viking

Other than that, has anyone mentioned the Mummies, Oblivians, Reatards, The Lamps?

The list goes on...

In The Red Records has several of these types of bands on their catalog. 

Hmmmm.....I don't think you guys get it. Read back a couple of pages. @Triple Thick - Have a look at the events section of the Hideout. There you will find garagepunk sponsored bills put together by members in various cities for general promotion/good times.

The Trip!  April 8th Show!  Listen here:  http://cjamlog1.cjam.ca/mp3dirnew/381-The_Trip-20120408-0030-t1333841400.mp3

Here's the setlist!

Thanks Simon.  I was able to find a copy of the CD on Ebay.  It's surprisingly still in circulation.  "Space" was the best track on the whole thing. Weird band. 

I like the phrase "Snow White Trash"....but then I live in Idaho...go figure...

HA HA HAAAAA!!! I remember someone trying to tell me that !

I thought "Ziggy Stardust" originally said "He could lick c*m by smiling , he could lead them to Hell. He came on so "Loaded" man , well - hung , snow White Trash."

AND - "JIVING US THAT WE WERE VOODOO , THE KIDS WERE JUST CRAP.". 

And that "Hang on To Yourself" went " If you like  f***ots and Vaseline".

Sometimes , the words were just too close together. There's a Romeo Void song that went "Get that jerk off your mind"   But , it sounded like "Get that JERKOFF , you're mine.". BUT THAT HAD TO BE INTENTIONAL.

But.....Two songs that would have been branded as Politically Incorrect for eternity , if everybody heard them the way I first did (And , trust me , I was shocked , at the time .)

"Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White" Standells   (The Bishops had a Politically Incorrect version.) .

"In The Middle of The Night " Madness .

 

YES!

Is anyone out there old enough to remember Eddie Money on early '80's top 40 FM singing:

"I think I'm in love / and my nuts are numb / I think I'm in love / 'cuz I can't get it up."?

Now that is an amazingly good tough song you can smell the coal dust in the grooves, thank you Simon.

Check out "Peter Nelson & The Castaways-Down in The Mine" it's on Diggin Up Down Under comp....proper Aussie garage rocker

Or it's not exactly about mining "It's A Hard Life-The Seeds" kind of blue collar thing ?

If he thinks he's the only garage revival band has he never heard of the Hangmen whose 1989 album was a lot better than the disappointing "In Heat." Still I love the Fuzztones' music and their whole schtick. It's too bad Rudi Protrudi has the personality of Glenn Danzig.
