    • 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.

    • Greetin's Cretins,

      I've been meaning to post here about my old radio show, The Wayback Machine, that I (and for a while, my buddy Jaimz) used to host on KDHX FM 88.1 in St. Louis. The show lasted from Nov. 1995 through Aug. 2006, almost 11 years. This show was actually the reason GaragePunk.com was born! Back in 2001, I wanted to create a website where I could post info & playlists from the show online for informational purposes, and I wanted to have a corresponding message board so people could post about bands & music and crap.

      Well, when I went checking for potential domain names, nothing with "Wayback Machine" was available (such as waybackmachine.com), so I just decided on a whim to grab garagepunk.com. So, for the first year or so, GaragePunk.com was merely the online home to my radio show with info, playlists, and a really primitive message board/commenting system on it.

      Then, in late 2002 I added the GaragePunk Forums message board, and the site sort of took on a mind (or identity) of its own, leaving my show behind. I kept posting my playlists to the site, though, and then, after I quit doing the show in '06, I transformed the old HTML site into a WordPress blog, with a different blog post for each episode. It took forever for me to accomplish this (several months of copying & pasting in playlist after playlist), but I finally got it finished sometime in 2008. I ALSO started digitizing old CD-R and cassette-tape recordings of some of the episodes, and posted MP3 links on those episode posts. So some of the episode posts on the blog not only have the playlist for the show, but also links to any available audio files (along with a player to listen online).

      I'm still in the process of digitizing a bunch of cassettes as well as a small stack of CD-Rs, but I should be nearing completion of that by sometime this spring. In the meantime, you can check out what I already have up on the site. If you click on the "Audio" category from the menu on the right, it will bring up a listing of only those episodes with available recordings attached, if you want to actually listen to some of them.

      If you were ever a fan of my Savage Kick or Noise Annoys podcasts here, you should check 'em out. I'll try to remember to post a reply here as I continue to add new audio files (old recordings of the show) as I continue to digitize this stuff. Enjoy, and STAY SICK!

    • I still have 30+ live bootleg cassettes of the Prisoners that I got hold of 'back in the day'. I love the Podcasts on this site, but it amazes me how Graham Day, in any of his incarnations  - Prisoners, Solarflares, Planet, The Gaolers, Prime Movers - doesn't appear unless he turns up as drummer or bassist for one of Billy Childish's many bands (Thee Mighty Caesars for example). The man has been pushing out some of the best garage music for over 30 years and we hardly hear anything about him on Garagepunk.com!

      Enough is enough! Might have to put together a 'Godlike Genius Of Graham Day' Podcast....

    • agreed....RELEASE THE PRISONERS!!

    • The Prisoners rule! Still have the Thewisermiserdemelza lp and Electric Fit ep and my mate has the split with The Milkshakes.

    • Good idea Dan!

      There are a couple of albums on vinyl which feature shared live sets by the Prisoners and the Milkshakes - 'Last Night At The MIC' and 'Thee Milkshakes Vs The Prisoners' which to my limited knowledge weren't even re-issued on CD (tell me if I'm wrong). I'd especially like to see these reappear on vinyl as IMHO the Prisoners completely outshine the Milkshakes on these recordings and add evidence to my theory that Graham Day is criminally under-rated compared to the omnipresent Billy Childish.

    • Junior High School, 9th Grade 1977: I was a huge Kiss, Led Zep, Ted Nuge fan. Was reading newspaper articles about some new cutting edge "punk" bands, and it got my curiousity. I bought Never Mind The Bollocks, but didn't get it at first, even tried to take it back to the record store and swap it for the new Styx album (thankfully they wouldn't let me do it). I finally got it on the 4th or 5th listen. Then during a big snowstorm in the Winter of '78, where we were off school for an entire week, I discovered college radio, while bored, turning the dial (back when radios had hose things). WCVT, Towson (then State) University had a punk/ new ave show, Friday evenings from 5:00-7:00. DJ Rod Misey played all the latest, Clash, Costello, Patti Smith, Damned, UK Subs, as well as the proto puk classics from Stooges, MC5, Dictators, Amboy Dukes, Velvet Undeground. I was getting "schooled" every Friday evening, and buying a whole new genre of records, trying to catch up. I wrote songs, formed the first all original music band to play at my high school's annual variety show. I'm still playing and enjoying this type of music today.
