Guitar Wolf = Best band ever !!!

I guess you don't really need the "Golden Black" compilation then...unless you're a freaky collector !  

And what about "Dead Rock" and "Spacebattleshiplove" ? 

You don't like the new line-up ?

Pretty damned solid collection Mike !!!

Being myself quite obsessed by The Damned (and late 70s UK punk in general) in my teens, I think I may own one or two vinyls I can't see on these cool pix. 

In the 45 category, I'm thinking about a pink (vinyl is pink, cover is the generic Stiff records black cover) 7" edition of "Don't cry Wolf"/"One way Love"; another 7 " (a bootleg) called "Something Weird" (ltd edition of 200) from around 1986 I believe featuring live renditions of "L.A. woman", "Just can't be happy today" and "Lively Arts".

Oh, and my "Eloise" 7" has a slightly different cover.

In the LP section, I have also a picture vinyl of "Damned Damned Damned"; a simple edition of the "Black Album" (minus the "Curtain Call" platter) with a plain black cover; a few compilations ("Another great record from the Damned", "Light at the end of the tunnel"...) and a few live bootlegs ("Too much to drink in Southend", "Ballroom Blitz").

And I have to say, it's the 2nd time only I see that (bootleg) 7" version of "Love song"/"Burglar" (2nd pic, top right). The 1st copy I've met, decades ago, is in my living room now, partying hard with its happy waxen companions. 

Cheers !!!

The Damned followed by the Ramones. Mostly because they both have released so many damned (get it?) records and 7" sleeve variations etc etc that sucker a collector nerd like me to buy. No picture of me, but a set a photos I'd snapped for another forum. I have to give credit though to an old friend who sold me his entire Damned 7" collection back in the 80's. I knew it hurt him, but he knew it was going to a good home. That's where a good chunk of my Damned and Capt. Sensible singles came from.

Tom Waits, JSBX, Pussy Galore, The Cramps, Killing Joke...all hugely influential to me.

The Cramps,shack shakers,horton heat,Kenny Burrell...........

The Beatles, you can laugh and tease if you like but they where the band who got me into music a few years ago

...and I don't think this really needs explanation...

And a new record label in Paris ... "Mauvaise foi records".

Yes, run by King Coffey.  Haven't followed in a while but put out a ton of killer shit in the 90's.  Very similar to AmRep catalog.  Post punk noise stuff.  Cherubs are f'ing gods in my book!  Weird timing with a special "heavy lag" feeling no one else has ever been able to capture in my opinion.  They will have you hitting your head on both floor and ceiling! put on your helmet and check out the song the "Dovey".  I posted, but am new to this site so hopefully was successful.

Cheers!

Trance Syndicate? Is that the Butthole Surfers own label?

"16 Tons" - how could I forget that one?  There's a Bo Diddley version of it on his album Bo Diddley is a Gun Slinger, but you probably knew that. 

I'm a West Virginia native (Parkersburg), so I'd like to hear the other tune you mentioned sometime.  Who's the artist?

The song - The Coal Miners Prayer is a stretch at being garage (i'll post it one day when I get the time to record it) but has a sweet 60's beat guitar sound and the vocals are pretty depressing but kind of country tinged "Oh lordy let me live another da-ay" and is cool for West Virginia mid 60's.  There is always "16 tons" of course, in infinite versions.

Yeah, this is a tough one.  There are plenty of folk/country-type songs about the topic, but I can't immediately think of any in the garage-punk vein.  You might see if there's any suitable cover versions of "Dark as a Dungeon", "Blackleg Miner", or "Nine Pound Hammer" out there (of course, the band Nine Pound Hammer is named for the song, but I don't know they ever covered it).  And the Dropkick Murphys did a cover of "Which Side are You On" a few years ago. 

Wow, good luck with that! I can't think of any specifically "garage" in nature... the only one that comes to mind is Devo's "Working in the Coalmine." Does that count?

I love masked bands and bands in uniforms, etc.. 
My other band, Skurkarna, is a "instro-crime-rock" outfit.. this is what we look like:

SQUARES BEWARE!

You've mentioned to me the Odd Squad before, that's why I brought up the Woggles after your Poseur comment.  You DIDN"T say that there were exceptions to the dress up bands.  The Woggles don't need uniforms, you're right.  But I think Manfred feels it gives them an edge when it comes to what sticks out for people who have never seen them before.  I can go either way on what a band does as long as they don't look like Dave matthews band or Hootie and the Blowfish ( I need to update my bad references).

John Carlucci said:

Hey Rod,

The Woggles are so good, they are in a class of their own. I personally don't think they need the matching outfits. When I played in The Odd Squad (a side band I had with The Mighty Manfred) we did not wear matching outfits, and we tore the house down.

What about the Woggles? 

What's 80-96.  Also kudos to adding Stolen Moments to this list as it's such an overlooked song.  You're list looks like one I would have written (but we never did get around to playing these though because my band thought they were TOO well known).

If authenticity reigns supreme... the only cover a true garage band should undertake is Route 66 or Little Latin Lupe-lu, every band from the 60s hey day would have played these two songs in their set, no doubt about it.

Gloria is a standard that has stood the test of time too.

Great stuff! Indeed a fine, fine label, with a fantastic sound!

This month's Record Collector 'Label Of Love' column features none other than STATE RECORDS! John Etkin-Bell is NOT a co-founder - thanks RC!!!

Jon Weiss posted a blog entry here recently mentioning he may revive the Cavestomp! festivals in NYC, too. We can just call those Hideoutstomps! Hey, this is easy, and fun!

Gringo Starr said:

Your absolutely right.The Ruhrgebiet is more Garage than Berlin! But what about Köln? Wait a sec, we could just rename the Soundflat Ballroom Bash as The GaragePunk Hideout Ballroom Bash. That would save a lot of money and hassle. Done. Who's going?

regards the threads topic I feel the same. Boring soft rock and lady gaga channels all over. 

Exception http://www.radiorockroma.it/ a Italian station. Try at diverent times, I am sure you'll agree - even if not Garage  specialized.

They have a cool DJ there, from the pre Gaga age, who knows about all the stories and things about bands. Mature guy, I appreciate his somewhat 'goolish explanations', because elaborate at times. For people who listen too. Great owl, I like him ;-)

Peace w/o dilutions.
