"sell his soul for a piece of meat"... lol. I think the music does not match the lyrical content, I wanna chew the violin players arm off right now... Thanks for polluting my life for 3 minutes John.

Who here knows "Timothy" by The Bouys ? Early 70 schmaltz - rock....Inoffensive , even written by Rupert Holmes ("The Pina Colada Song").....BUT , the almost unintelligible lyrics prove to be about three guys who get trapped in a mine. Their rescue is slow in coming. Their water supply is running short ,and there's no food. So , two of the Miners decide to eat Timothy , the more passive of the three. When the news of the lyrics got around , the song became a morbid fluke hit....Like Bloodrock's "D.O.A." , also a hit around that time....
"Timothy" was surely the first hit song about cannibalism , unless you want to count " Purple People Eater " , and you probably would'nt. The only band that I know of that covered "Timothy" was The Nervebreakers , who now own SXSW.
The Cramps "Psychedelic Jungle" still sounds like the Thang...
Oh yea The Monks, just bonkers gear
The Boots "Here are the Boots" German PUNK 66
Them 1st LP
...and Ken Dodd "Tears" ho ho
i AGREE ABOUT the monks , But , it's hard to say....
? AND THE MYSTERIANS - "96 TEARS"
BLUES MAGOOS "ELECTRIC COMIC BOOK"
ANY AND ALL SONICS ALBUMS (I KNOW , IT'S OBVIOUS...)
ANY OF THE BROOD'S ALBUMS , ESP. "VENDETTA"
Cynics - "Rock'n'Roll" , "Get Our Way" , "Living is The Best Revenge"
Fleshtones - Their worst beats these more popular punk ass kids' best , but , I'd say , "Blast - Off!" , "mORE tHAN sKIN dEEP " , "fLESHTONES vS. rEALITY" , First two albums , and even their first , apparently loathed , EP .
SEEDS - "tHE sEEDS" , "Web of Sound"
Electric Prunes - "Underground" , "Live in Stockholm , 1967".
Shadows of Knight "Back Door Men" , "LIVE AT tHE cELLAR cLUB", Hell , even the live in 72 CD is pretty good , if you can handle some Brownsville Station Bubble Gum Metal Punk
Love - same.
13th Floor ELEVATORS "The Psychedelic Sounds of....." You may say it's more Psych than Garage . It's more important to try to picture what it sounded like to people in 1966.
The Lollipop Shoppe - "Just Colour".
Los Saicos - same. I think....
The Pets (Venezuela)
First two Troggs (UK) albums. They're an American band , damn it , just as the monks were a German band.
Gun to your head, what garage album would you pick to be the greatest of all time? (from any era, but not including comps).
I guess it's obvious, but I'd have to go with The Sonics - Boom
Led Zeppelin's "Living Loving Maid"...With a purple umbrella and a fix in her hand
Good stuff. Keep 'em coming. A frequently misheard lyric came from Jethro Tulls ' "Aqualung" - "Spitting out pieces of his broken LUNG."...... I SWEAR IT WAS'NT ME , A VERY BEAVISLIKE JR. HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND SAID TED NUGENT'S "Cat Scratch Fever " went "Well , I grabbed some pussy fur , put some Skoal in my hand !".
My cousin thought Billy Idol's "Eyes without a face" was "How's about a date".
Check out the new episodes of Beavis and Butthead. They've got to be the best , ever , but , the videos are Sooooooo %#$@!!! BAD .
ROIR cassette by Bad Brains
Damn straight.

Listen to the clash/london calling. nuf ced.
OK, thanks for the help, guys. We finally got it worked out and everything's been finalized for this volume. I should have it all packaged up and ready to ship off to Fran for mastering tomorrow. Right now I'm shooting for an April 16 release date, although I may move that up if Fran gets it mastered quickly. I'll keep everyone posted. This is gonna be a trashy one, though!
I've got a highway one P Bass in Honey Blonde. It's a great bass. They stopped making them already! Hold on to it, you got a rare one.

Yup! Best bass I've had so far.

If it's gonna be whatever in Europe, I'll do whatever is needed to help out, haha. To even be more fictional, if it's in the US I'll be there to work on it too - if someone flies my ass over there (...and the rest of myself too, of course).
Bazza ...were you on the Paul Weller discussion page about 4 years back?

listened to metal until I was @12 or 13 when a friend turned me on to the Misfits, Agnostic Front, 7 Seconds etc... It was all downhill from there...
The Cramps really turned me to a life of sin at a young age... I have lived for booze, drugs (gave these up because of the junkies I had to spend time with), sin, & rock & roll ever since...
Got married in Jamaica to a super hot punk girl, too much of living the life led to several minor arrests, her putting guns in my face on a regular basis, getting held hostage by a local crazy, etc...
After a nervous breakdown (I noticed somebody else mentioned this happening also) I'm back on the mend these days. I lost a 20 year record collection, all my guitars & clothes... Recently got a new turntable, started my record collection over (it sucked losing it, but it really is fun starting a better one.)
Started school to become a machinist last week & it's great, been writing songs again & waiting to see what state/city I land in next to start a new rock & roll band.
As far as my music taste these days, anything on Voodoo Rhythm, everything I heard from Burger Records, everything I have heard from Douchemaster Records, Get Hip, Velocity of Sound... Big Nobunny fan, big Spits fan, really into punk, oi, old rock & roll, r&B, doowop, Mark Sultan, 60's garage & psyche (off the top of my head.)
Probably way too much info, but I blame that on the medication & the booze...
Cheers kiddies!
Any one know how to get the pushin too hard solo fuzz tone???
