I love it. <('*)<

I used to dress up a lot. Hell -- I made my own see-thru plastic mini-skirt and my GF fashioned a crushed black velvet / blood red satin Dracula cape with a 6" cowl, but that was years ago. These days? I'm a little "thicker," and have a lot less hair. Not a lot, but enough where I don't want to see me in a skirt. My current project hasn't played a live show to be honest. We just swap garageband files like a couple of luddites who just discovered the ON button. It's been super fun to just explore songwriting, but I miss the hell out of tearin' it up in front of a studio audience. So that is next for us, I think; the "live thing."

Personally I am angling' for tailored red and blue suits with top hats, and bright yellow ties.

Our theme for "Northside Garage" is Garage - work shirts with names and hats. The upside is I never have to think about what to wear. Guess that's a little lazy too ;)

Classick!!  That look will NEVER die as far as I'm concerned.  Well done lads well done!

http://youtu.be/QBR-U9RlaLs

http://www.facebook.com/lookoutkinglemon

really into bands like ty segall, thee oh sees king khan black lips etc

although i thinking of starting a campaign stopping bands from coming up with names that begin with the word black. it is so over used - black lips, black angels, black flag, black rebel motorcycle club, black manila, black keys,

if anyone has any others please add. i wanna try and find out how many original rock bands there are out there with 50% of the same name

cheers

Hey Dave,

Love the comics you mentioned! The souds and flicks too... but that, goes without saying ;)

Hi gang, I'm Dave, 47, and I live in Portland, Oregon.

I love loud, rude music of all kinds- R&B, Rockabilly, 60s Punk, Freakbeat, Aussie punk, etc.,

as well as smoother stuff like soul, ska/rocksteady, triphop, and more... What I'm guessing most of y'all like, too.

Love indie comics like the Hernandez Bros. Love and Rockets, Peter Bagge's Hate, Roberta Gregory's Naughty Bits...

Dark and quirky movies like The Loved One, Ghost World, Quadrophenia...

I don't see shows anymore, but love finding new music and like-minded souls here,

Cheers to you all, Dave

The Loved One! You're talking about the B&W late '60s movie with the great Jonathan Winters, Rod Steiger right? One of my favorites too.

Hey, Missy, welcome! Sounds like you had a blast in Paris (who wouldn't, right?)! Nottingham sounds intrigueing, are the X-rays still around? Also, just found this yesterday-Jerry's Kids - Spymaster

Best, Dave

I may as well pitch in - I've been a garage/punk/surf/psych fan for about 15 years now, live in the North of England and love THe Creation, Love, The Seeds, The Monks, Count Five, Nuggets, Billy CHildish, blah blah blah. I also love surf punk, and am amassing a large exotica collection also!

I'm into film also - Mondo movies, 60s psych/B movies, French new wave, Comic books, and I make a lot of my own clothes these days (since vintage prices have shot up lately!).

I went to Paris last week and spent too much money in Born Bad records, and looking forward to going to the Blast Off festival in Nottingham with my husband later this year!

Hmm, I don't know.  I haven't heard the other versions, and the Grunnen Rocks site doesn't describe, too.  Ah, also I'm not (so?) familiar with 60's hot rod and 50's R 'n' R tunes.

Hello friends ,

a few words to tell you that the new show is on line .....

E.

Kaos - Alcoholiday

Picked up a copy of Dr. Feelgood's "Malpractice" LP this past weekend not bad, but the only other LP I have is "Down By The Jetty" which I like much better. It got me thinking of what I'm missing when it comes to the pre-punk pub rock scene. I know the basics like Eddie & The Hot Rods, 101er's, Pirates, Kilburn & The High Roads and maybe a few others, but what lesser known bands/releases should I be looking for. Not stuff on Chiswick, etc, but the forgotten or under appreciated stuff on one off labels that rock.

Try one of these, serious, it's ridiculously flexible.

John Lydon (on the ''fuss'' on Punk and the Sex Pistols) : ''You created the monster,not me''.

Hey you guys! I had no idea about this!!! I was actually very fortunate to stumble across them in their very early days!!! I even had to send away for their first few singles cause they weren't sold in stores!!! Same thing with Generation X too!! I've seem them more times then I can remember, a really good LIVE band. I know Greg and Andy socially but haven't seen them for years...I'm sorry to hear about this but....I don't thing it will last very long....let's just think of it as a hiatus...

Another fill-in, this time for Ryan's In The Red. Special guests tonite are Kevin Kardsley of local 60's cover combo, The Kards who have just released their first CD. And along with Kevin is their producer, Hayden Vialva, who just happened to play in a combo called The Dice back in the late 70's/early 80's and played London several times including at least one or more shows at The Cedar Lounge, London's first punk/new wave club.

1. MC5...Kick Out The Jams...from the Live At The Sturgis Armory LP on It's Alive Records. This one goes out to bass player Micheal Davis who passed away a few days back. I picked this version of Kick Out The Jams as Rob Tyner almost says 'Kick Out The Jams Motherfucker', but prefers to tangle with that bad word via The Who's 'My Generation' with its stacatto stuttered vocals....

2. The Kards....Slow Down...from their brand new CD called Here's The Deal and you're listening to the world premier of this one!!

3. The Kards...Lucille...as above.

4. The Dice...Young And Wild...from a 1980 7" on Nardem Records....Hayden said he hadn't seen this record in 30 years, let alone hear it!!

5. The Dice...Typical Lies...from the self titled 12", Hayden didn't even own a copy of this record and now he's looking for one. Anyone out there got a double of this 12" for Hayden?

6. The Kards...Ain't Gonna Lose...as above.

7. The Kards...Pipeline...from their brand new CD and this is the live track recorded here in London at The Bristol.

8. MC5...Human Being Lawnmower...from the Back In The USA LP.

9. MC5...Poison...from the High Times LP.

10. MC5...Borderline...from the Kick Out The Jams LP.

11. Pulsebeats...Song For Cecilia...from their self released CD and brand new. From Spain with lots of powerpop and garage influences...way cool!

12. Sonic Avenues...Throw It Away...from the Television Youth LP on Dirtnap Records.

13. The Diodes...Catwalker...form Action/Reaction CD re-issue on Bongobeat Records.

14. catl...Get Outta My Car...from their soon to be released CD soon this will all be gone. A Hasil Adkins cover and they come to Call The Office Mar 16th.

15. Marvin Rainwater...Hot And Cold...from the brand new Lux Lives! CD to commemerate 3 years since Lux moved on. Lux and Ivy talk about the song right before it starts.

16. Dustaphonics...Tura Faster Pussycat...from the Party Girl CD and goes out to regular host Ryan In The Red.

17. Lords Of Altamont...Faded Black...from The Altamont Sin CD on Gearhead that Michael Davis played bass on.

No regular show this thursday, but i'm back to spoil your dinner on March 1st in the 7 to 8:30PM regular time slot.

Big thanx to Hayden and Kevin for coming on air to talk about cool music!!! The Kards CD release party will be coming soon, and we'll give you all of the details once confirmed.

Here's the archived show in 2 parts:

I cant really say there is anything I hate from the 50's and 60's. Even cheezy pop music. It all sounds good cos it was mostly mono. I do prefer the lighter side of things. But I do occasionally like some heavy stuff. The Buzz ' You're holding me down' is a great track. I really like simple stuff like the Tornados and Bert Weedon. Saxaphone led stuff is great. The Flea Rekkers 'Green Jeans' is a fave. The lyrics of most 60's tracks do make me laugh though. Those poor young men. They loved their girlfriends so much and all they did was stay out all night and go off with every man in town! Jezebels and Harlots the lot of them!

Love the cars, the clothes, the furniture, and the bands. Nuff said.

Next week's program will be a show made up of all Surf Rock songs!

Yeah, it's pretty goofy. Bill isn't too fond of it. I think the editing could've been better, which is probably why he didn't want me to tag him when I posted it on Facebook, haha! It's also pretty low-quality, but keep in mind, this was made back in Feb. 2004 before YouTube or any of that stuff really took off. It also preceded Bill's Lo-Fi Saint Louis videoblog.

I do look pretty young, don't I? A youthful 38, in fact.

Get it here, kids! http://garagepunk.ning.com/page/hideout-comps
