Easy to answer: The Smiths at Hammersmith Odean, 1985. Couldn't hear the band; the place was full of wiggling, Smithhead zombies singing along to every word. Scary scary scary in an uncool way. Left 1/2 way through out of sheer boredom.

What an amazing woman. She's probably scatting with the R&B greats in the sky as we speak.

Indeed it is - RIP

R.I.P
An r&b dynamite! Sad news...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsNkLET6BGg Penetrators 'Shopping Bag' but a bitchin' song

First Show? Peter Tosh and Rolling Stones I think... Live, Outdoors, Warm summer's day. Awesome when you're a young teen hanging out alone with your bestie and free to scream your guts out.

First Punk Show? Had to be either The Clash (lots of sweat, spit and throwing of lit cigarettes, with Strummer yelling at us, "hit me fucker, hit me") or Cramps/Patti Smith. Can't remember which came first, both I believe were at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago. I think my ears are still ringing from The Clash. Or was it the Jam at some horrible basement club in Rush Street? Too bloody long ago to remember, being the dark ages and all. All I remember of the Jam show was it was almost entirely attended by writhing, jumping 15-yr-old boys. Good times.

Best Show? Too many good ones. I hope the best one is yet to come.

You too man! Just helpin keep garage rock alive and destroying the air waves!

I Asked the jailer man, said what my friend do? Well he was crawlin' round Main Street like a tiger in the zoo!

Here's a little firecracker singer... Liquor Store by Devil Doll

One of my favorites from California...just a little south of Vancouver

Tonight the bottle let me down by Throw Rag/featuring Lemmy!

A groovin old tune Hey Bartender by Floyd Dixon

Can't argue with "Young, Loud & Snotty" as #1. Does it get any better that year than 'Sonic Reducer'? (if memory serves?)

It's Close!  ...and it is good!

Oh and I remember that thing from when I was an anxious little kid wandering alone in the cold dark night of the gloomy early 80's :

Perfect to fall asleep and never wake up...

Sorry. ,(

Let's go back to the garage and wash our ears with thousands of really short, fast tunes now !!! ;)

Of course !!!

(Sister Ray was a great pick too by the way !)

Jon said:

agree!

kopper said:

That's easy. Cheater Slicks "Thinkin' Some More" from the Whiskey LP. 27:29 of garage-punk savagery. Not for the faint of heart.

And that's funny ! ;)

Haven't found any video but here's my pick :

"BLACK UNITY" by Pharoah Sanders.

Not sure you could call this a song but I love it, it lasts almost 40 minutes and it ain't no prog shit !

P.S. This thread is an answer to the other one about your fave 2 minute song. I just added a zero. :D

"BOOTLEGGING THE BOOTLEGGERS" AS JOHNNY THUNDERS CALLED IT.    THERE'S ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE , THUNDERS MADE HIS OPINIONS ON BOOTLEGS KNOWN ,"

Yea I saw Thunders a few times in the mid 80's too. One show was at the Roxy here in LA which a pretty good bootleg CD was made several years later, which Thunders sister then "bootlegged" the bootleggers and put it out legitly.

The former I have , it IS really good. I've got one called "Eureka" with all these great covers - "Let The Kids Dance" , "King of The Surf" , "L.A. Woman" , "T.V.EYE" (of course.) and "You're Gonna Miss Me" (But , of course !), but the sound is pretty bad , like it's a dupe of a dupe , not necessarily a bad recrding to begin with .... I can't help thinking there's a better version , out there.....

Radio Birdmans "Rock 'n' Roll War" and Cure @ Ontario Theater, Washington nov 16:th 1984.

I KNOW WHICH ONE YOU MEAN , MIKE , AND I THINK THAT WAS FROM 1968. I HAVE A COUPLE OF SIMILAR BOOTS ON THE WHO , AS WELL.   I WAS JUST TALKING , TOO , WITH ANOTHER FRIEND , HERE , ABOUT A SIMILAR BUZZCOCKS BOOT , I THINK IT'S CALLED "TIME'S UP" , HOWARD DEVOTO - ERA STUFF. IT SCREAMS "LEGIT" , GREAT SOUND , BEAUTIFUL PACKAGING , A DEVOTO/SHELLEY INTERVIEW 45 THAT SEEMED TO BE MADE JUST FOR THE RELEASE . TURNS OUT , IT WAS A BOOT.

"BACK IN THE DAY" (HA HA) , RECORD STORES , HEAD SHOPS , TOO , WOULD CARRY THOSE BOOTLEGS , MANY OF WHICH HAD NO ARTWORK . MORE AND MORE , THEY TURN UP IN USED RECORD STORES , SOMETIMES THEY'RE RE - PRESSINGS , DONE WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A HOWDY DO. "BOOTLEGGING THE BOOTLEGGERS" AS JOHNNY THUNDERS CALLED IT.    THERE'S ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE , THUNDERS MADE HIS OPINIONS ON BOOTLEGS KNOWN , BUT , WHEN I SAW HIM IN '86 , IN DALLAS , HIS SOLO RECORDS , HEARTBREAKERS (TRACK'S NEWEST HITMAKERS!), AND ORIGINAL DOLLS LPs WERE ALMOST UNOBTAINABLE. SOME KIDS BROUGHT THE NOTORIOUS "LIVE , DALLAS '74" LP WITH THEM , BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT ALL YOU COULDFIND AT THE TIME. HE SIGNED 'EM ANYWAY. I INTERVIEWED SYLVAIN SYLVAIN , AND HE SAID , "GOD BLESS THE BOOTLEGGERS , BECAUSE OUR STUFF WAS OUT OF PRINT , MERCURY DID'NT WANT TO DEAL WITH IT , AND THE BOOTLEGGERS KEPT THE DOLLS IN THE PUBLIC CONSCIENCE."

 Does anyone have any info on this band who had a song called nowadays people? This was back in the '60s. Thanks.

When is the next Mongrel Zine coming out??? Better be before the next issue of What Wave.......lol...

Playlist Jan 19/2012

This is part 1 of an all cassette show featuring some of London Ontario's coolest bands from about 1978 up to today....

1. The Demics...New York City....from the Domestic Animals cassette that was released back in 1983 and was 2 individuals idea of what the London indy music scene was all about. None of the band on this tape were aware that it was coming out. This song was recorded at The Cedar Lounge 12/21/79.

2. Uranus...Back To School Days....live at Buskerfest 7/25/93. Uranus reunited for this show and played on a truck trailer in what was a parking lot and is now the JLC (big ass arena where hockey is played).

3. Uranus...5 Bucks...recorded at The Embassy Hotel 3/22/82 and was broadcast live over the airwaves of CHRW.

4. The Sci-Phonics...Uranium Rock....recorded at the Book Brothers Christmas Party 12/23/89. Members of Uranus went on to The Sci-phonics and were aptly named London's coolest band many years ago.

5. The Sci-Phonics....Round and Round...from their self titled cassette and was also on a What Wave cassette many years ago.

6. Frank Ridsdale....Shake Some Action...recorded live at the Radio What Wave studio 10/16/10 and broadcast over the airwaves. One of my all time fave songs done by our good pal Frank! Thanx Frank!

7. UIC...Cheap Generation...from their very first demos 1986. They started out in Exeter Ontario and by way of London, ended up in Toronto where they all lived in the same house for a short while. The greatest band to ever come out of Exeter Ontario!!

8. UIC...I Got Nerve...from the Accusonic demos....1986?

9. UIC...What I Want...live at Call The Office 3/16/85. Most of this show was recorded live on video by Wayne Fisher/Danny Napalm and some songs have appeared on youtube including this song...
http://youtu.be/0BHb0ocm_1g

That jerk dancing at the front of the stage in the black leather jacket looks kinda familiar....

10. Positively Stompin'...Ain't I'm A Dog....demo recorded in the early 90's and was on a What Wave cassette. Positively Stompin' had a couple of former UIC members and a former Legend Killer as well as a present day Stuntdouble. Country rock at the wrong time for the masses.

11. Arco Di Scarico....Miss Pearl...1995 demo. Some of the finest rockabilly to ever come out of London as this band name changed to:

12. Viv Sun and The Black Holes...Love Me....1996 demo. Presently known as The Black Holes and still the finest rockabilly combo in town.

13. Hank and Frank...Nancy Sinatra....Hank the Bookman and Frank Ridsdale recorded several tunes, all killer, with bizarre lyrics/subjects but some of the best almost unheard music from London. This particular song was on a What Wave cassette and when Hank formed Teurto Loco this song went to the band and they still play it live....usually when i'm in the crowd!!

14. The Hippies...Neat Neat Neat...recorded live at Fryfogles 1/16/84. The Hippies released one 7" and shoulda done so much more....but...

15. Tenement 13...Can Teens... demo from 7/22/83. The Hippies with a new name...why, i dunno.

16. Boy From Nowhere...Hot Smoke and Sasafrass...recorded live at The Langarth Bar And Grill 11/1/86 for a Halloween party. Boy From Nowhere were 3 of the Hippies with a new lead singer and a different take on the music as they were the first band in London to do the 60's garage thing here in London. Bless them for doing that!! The Langarth was our basement as we hosted a few parties down there....think our neighbours were glad when we moved as there were always scary looking people from out of town bands staying over...some, like The Gruesomes, had to be almost tossed out...fun times!!

17. Young Fast And Scientific...You Told Me...a demo from the late 80's. Kelly Mulvey, The Hippies vocalist is the singer in this Dictator blessed band.

18. Evil Hoodoos...Back In The USA....members of Boy From Nowhere and Frankenstein V and Legend Killers merged into this drunken mess...listen carefully to the end of this song, if you're Canadian it'll probably make you smile.

19. Slacker...New Song...early 90's demo from this Diane McPherson combo.

20. Morganfields...I Ain't Flippin' Burgers No More...from the Scribblehead cassette from 1992 and features Alan Pigguns who has gone on to bigger things.

21. Smack Daddy...Ring My Bell??...from a demo that has absolutely no info on it. Brunswick band.

22. Frankenstein V...Midnight Hour....recorded live at Call The Office...7/19/90. The first real snarly garagepunk combo who totally embraced the 60's to come out of London....in fact the only! 

23. Frankenstein V...Kill And Go Hide...a demo that appeared on a What Wave cassette...now if they could have written more originals like this, they mighta become legends!

24. Hi-Tones....tried to play a live song for the last minute of the show, but for some reason couldn't get any volume...ya, there were lots of screwups in this show, but it's all cassettes and was a ton of fun doing it!

If you want to know more about the London Ontario punk music scene, check out the documentary Stinkin' Out The Joint by Mario Circelli (he was general manager at CHRW for many years). It's in 4 parts on youtube, here's a link to the first part:

Next week, the saga continues with tunes by Flying Squad, Zellots, 63 Monroe, NFG, Crawling Kingsnakes, Finks and a TON more.....Thursday January 26th at 7PM.

And here's a link to the archived show so you can hear all of the mistakes and some really cool music:
