Of course when there are soooo any bands out there trying to scratch a living playing music, it really grates when successful musicians complain about the privelidged position they find themselves in and there are some great great tunes that comment on the situation of our time, and past times. Dead Kennedys, Pennywise, Propogandi, NOFX, Crass, Bad Religion...and so on and on and on...

But what about when those mega-artists do it, when they comment on other issues both within and outside of their music? When Bono and Sting open their mouth on stuff do we not just tend to think of them as patronising pricks? Is this fair? Do we tend to think of what they say as less valid because of how many gazillions they have in the bank or because they're from outside out chosen genre?

My god, so many. The Fleshtones and The Dirtbombs probably. Got all Te Dirtbombs' albums and a few 7"s, but they've put out an immense amount of singles. Always on the look out.

What artist do you wish you had more by? Maybe you were born too young
Or you discovered them too late. For me it has to be the mummies they released so much stuff on limited quantities.

haha

i have to buy it too !!

i had a guitarwolf-less times since i tattooed "jet generation" on my anckle !

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 ?

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.

Probaly the misfits they put so much shit out!!!

These are top compilations !!!

John Battles said:

aS COMPS GO ,THERE'S lOOKEY - dOOKEY , Talkin' Trash , Black Rock'n'Roll (Renamed "Stompin'") , Shaftman (70'S pARTY RECORD interspersed with bad ass Funk AND sOUL FROM THE EARLY 70'S. aBOUT AS nORTHERN AS sOUTH aMERICA.) Excuse the caps....

In the early R'n'B/ black R'n'R vein, you should probably try the SAVAGE KICK serie, full of great screamers and wailing saxes !!!

I SMELL A RAT and ROLL YOUR MONEYMAKER on Stag-O-Lee records.

BLOWIN' THROUGH YOKOHAMA on Atomic Passion.

WHIP WOBBLE & GRIND on Club Harlem.

T-BIRD PARTY on Lido.

The JERK ! BOOM ! BAM ! serie on Jerk Boom Bam records.

And of course, as you've already mentioned, every Candy records comp is worth a try.

And many many more I can't think of right now.

Also, Thee Oh Sees are NOT to be missed!  THEE BEST!

...Strange Boys,...Magnetix

Great show, great cause:

There's also this day show on Friday with T. Tex Edwards (Nervebreakers), Jesse Sublett and Jon Dee Graham (The Skunks), Hans Frank El Gallo (Glambilly), and Stevie Tombstone:

Uncle Billy's is also a bad-ass microbrewery.

You're absolutly right. And the one holding the bass is "Del Boy"; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Boy

Thats Sean Connery in the middle and Pavarotti on his right. Who's that holding the bass?

SQUARES BEWARE!

I'd love it if my band had matching APHEX TWIN's masks.

True...WAS an interesting dynamic with all the unsuspecting tourists.

Ugh I hope not. I have a funny letter to send Michelle actually. But the whole boat?!?!?!? I think my liver might die. Also I really liked the funny interactions with tourists.

I second that!  Was a blast and would definitely go again as long as they keep the band line-ups strong.  Be sure to Michelle and Jonas your feedback.  Just might get the whole boat next year...

Elisha G said:

OK the experience as a whole was AMAZING. I was seasick for like at least a week after afterwards, but it was totally worth the money. I mean it was a rock n roll tropical adventure... does it get any better?

no !!

it sails around venice for 5h ! (not enough beers at the end)

last year we were playing right at the moment when fireworks were shots from the town during a beyonce or shakira show for a indian millionnaire wedding !

this one was great too :

The Guilty Boat didn't actually set sail though did it? It was just a party on an anchored boat, I thought. (There's a funny photo of Khan at the Guilty Boat party in our MZ Best Of issue.)

Being stuck on a cruise ship is probably one of my biggest fears but the Bruise Cruise actually sounds kinda fun. I liked their Rob Corradetti-designed split 7"s from last year. I wonder if they'll release more this year?

80-96 by The Dantes?

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

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).

Seeds maybe [although Out Of The Question and Evil Hoodoo are smart] but Prunes?? Surely not...?

Axel Björnsson said:

 

The Seeds and Electric Prunes have always been so mediocrity for me. You can find way better 60's tunes than these gentlemen were doing..

Appreciate the kind words fellas, much appreciated!

Damaged Goods is a good label, as I'm listening to Billy Childish right now. More specifically, his garage version of "Are Friends Electric?"

y a qui dessus ?

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