      I just wanted to say thanks again to Kopper for putting these comps together. They are getting noticed. I have songs on 2 of the comps with 2 different bands, and since they came out, both bands have received pretty cool offers to perform overseas.

    • I love the Los Saicos suggestions on page 1.  Will make me put that on right now.

      but my album would be Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Rock Art and the X-ray Style.  Obviously not garage punk but the album I would tell someone to buy (but they probably wouldn't like it and be sour with me for spending their money that way).

    • Any idea of when is the next Chrome Cranks' out?

      Bobby said:

      For a while noe I'be been listening a lot to The Church Keys- Work With It, & Tav Falco & the Unapproachable Panther Burns- Songs For Deranged Lovers. I'm really excited for the new Chrome Cranks album to come out next.

      The first Modern Lovers LP!  Or...the first Velvet Underground LP...or The Soft Boys "Underwater Moonlight...or....hey, this question is too hard to answer!!!!  You tell us what you would suggest!"

    • The second lp from the small faces (self titled)...essential!

      And I gotta agree with listening to a lot a tav falco, I only got put onto him last year, though I did have the track dateless night on a comp I never paid much attention to him, that is until recently.I'm just waiting now on a copy of his red devil album to land through the post.

    • The paper I work for was nice enough to get me an iPhone, so I often listen to GP Pirate Radio in my car via TuneIn Radio.

    • Garage Punk on the mp3 player is the way to go.

    • "You passed Pere Ubu live for Poison Idea?!" - Curses . Foiled again.They figured me out.

      The Ebay segment is funny.

      I smelled a record the other day , because it looked water - damaged. I got a bit self - conscious about it.

      The bit about Heroin addicts who once supported a more noble addiction , sad but true....OK  ,not sad if you got some great records , cheap , but , still......

      I don't really know what I say , because it's really a private pursuit. Sometimes I'll tell someone if they're considering something really good , that they should....

      Once , I saw an English guy with a stack of CRAP Disco records that he's sure to make a huge profit from , back home (Nothing against my English mates. They KNOW it's true.). Separate from the stack was Moby Grapes' first LP (Yes , with the finger! But , I learned , recently , that's the lesser rarity of the two.)....I HAVE IT , BUT MINE IS A BIT BEAT....I gave him the thumbs up for finding it , he sneered. What a douche. Nothing against his nationality (My internal workings are partly English , too.), but , what a douche. He's have probably gone straight for the "Dance" section in the glory days of Wax Trax Records.

    • so great i had to share.... come on, what kinda shit do YOU record nerds say?????

    • I think even the best Country music videos are the worst videos I have seen.  Particularly the "loveable loser" storyline.  You know, the main character just shrugs his shoulders at all bad things life has dealt him.  I looked but cannot find the one that highlights this, jet skis and all.

    • I've always thought Nu Metal was bad, but this takes the biscuit. Rather, it takes the whole fucking tin, the cup of tea and gets as fat as Bernard Manning. Sinn Sisamouth would laugh at them, if he were alive.

    • I read an entry about foreign hip-hop, but are there any Seeds fans out there?

    • They are pretty. Doesn't Garry Bushell call for Variety to be brought back (he used to live near me)?

      I just watched the DVD featuring The Ed Sullivan Show with the first Rolling Stones appearance in 1964. I love those old variety shows. Ed would have the hip new mod a go-go bands, Borscht Belt comics, circus acts, Broadway productions, readings of "The Charge of the Light Brigade", puppets, magicians .... you name it.

       

      On the same show as the first Stones appearance was this musical act, 3 sexy Koreans, The Kim Sisters. And though I couldn't find the songs they did on Sullivan (one was a gospel tune, the other involved bagpipes), they're all over YouTube

    •  Yeah , no-one could replace Crazy Charlie ...but BB seems to be carrying his torch if you will .  The Huns ...glad you mentioned them , i got in touch with one of the guys from the band on Garage Punk Hideout ( in its old incarnation) & he kindly sent me the album , that i had long since lost , i never got around to thanking him properly , i feel bad , so if he's still on here or someone knows how i can get in touch , please let me know !

           Derek (Bloodshot Bill) would be tickled to hear that , tho' NO ONE could take Charlie Feathers' place. Also , Charlie's son , Bubba , puts on one of the best Rockabilly shows you'll ever see , WITHOUT Stray Cats ' dos "Vintage " threads or standup Bass.       Yeah , I was really into The Stingrays , too. They got lumped into the "Psychobilly" thing , just because they had a standup bass...I kept all their old records , so , maybe , I'll dig 'em out , soon. 

      My friend used to work with their Guitarist (Mark?). Alec Palao , of course , came here , to the land of milk and cold beer , and has since played Bass with  The Magic Christians and the latter day Chocolate Watchband , and works with Ace/Big Beat , his "G.S. I Love You" series (Japanese Group Sound .) should be his proudest achievement....to date.        I even have a Vibes 12" EP.  Time was , if you could find that stuff at all in the states , you could find it cheap , because no one wanted it. Anyone remember The Huns? They were Americans from the Midwest (One of 'em played baseball on the grounds of my old Public School in Glenview , Illinois) who joined the Prisoners /Stingrays / Milkshakes axis in The UK. I need to listen to their EP again - Like The Cannibals with Stoogey Guitar and maybe somewhat more irreverent humor.

      YAY, another fan of english early 80s Garage !!!!  My formative years , one of the best gigs ever for me was The Stingrays & Vibes at Retford Porterhouse ....great days !

      Bloodshot Bill is great ....a worthy successor to Charlie Feathers !

      It's for this reason that I don't limit my tastes to just a few genres. I can find at least one song I'll dig from ANY genre - even mainstream pop music, lol.

      As far as 60s style tunes, I'm big on the whole trash revival that evolved from the early psychobilly scene, and consider those bands underrated. THE VIBES (!!!!!), Russian Roulette (pick up the 'fuckin' car 7" if you're into the Cramps), Stingrays, etc. etc. Garage covers with an upright bass, fuck yeah!

      I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them : ).

      PS, new G&R blows. Amen.

      Good for her!

      Yeah....Lymphoma's a BAD one. It will be killed dead , set on fire and it's ashes buried . Sadly , we won't be there to see it happen. No Cancer , Diabetes , AIDS , etc. I could give up a man on Mars for that.

      Larry "Rhino " Rhinehart , ignored Guitar God (Iron Butterfly , Captain Beyond.) passed away , last week.

    • From Melbourne Australia, sorry if they are already mentioned.

      The Bo weevils.
      The Breadmakers.
      The shindiggers.
      The Dirty Lovers.
      Turnaround.

      All these bands recorded great records and were great live. There were many others that didn't release a record that were good too, and others that did record that have slipped my mind at the moment...

      Another favorite of mine, this time from wollongong nsw, australia was the unheard
