Got board and reworked all my gear, amp wise now Im going between 3 different Marshalls.
An AFD100 which gets the least use, a 50 watt Silver Jubilee which was the number 1 choice and a JCM800 2203KK which is the current favorite, especially with P90 equipped guitars

I use to split the signal coming from my Telecaster into two amps: a Peavey Classic 30 and a vintage tube head n' cabinet. Mine is a trio and I need both attack and gain/sustain...

Mexican Fender Telecaster into Boss CS3, then into a Morley ABY splitting the signal into two different amps: Peavey Classic 30 combo, single cone and a vintage Sound City tube head and cabinet. Sometimes I add an Electro Harmonix Big Muff on one channel; for fun.

Have just added to the discussion in the punk tech group, but thought I'd open it up - I'm considering having a go at developing a Hideout iphone app - would anyone be interested and if so, what functionality would you want in it?

There's a Cramps newsgroup on Yahoo that probably has some kind of wiki that answers many of your questions. Here's a link to join the group, which is called staysick

They've also recently released an LP of live Cramps stuff that is HIGHLY recommended...called Trash Is Neat.

The way you're doing this, you may as well add "Smokestack Lightning" to "Primitive," since that's obviously what The Groupies were ripping off, and The Rivingtons' "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" and "The Bird's the Word," as well as The Flames' "The Bird," to "Surfin' Bird."

"The Crusher" from Off The Bone was originally by The Novas.
I don't really know why you're counting a lot of these as originals of the Cramps' songs. Borrowing a riff or a beat or the "feel" of a song doesn't really count for much in this type of music (punk, garage, rockabilly, etc.), in my opinion. Everyone is derivative of everyone else, it's part of the appeal. ;)

Of course, I know that the Cramps did write their own material! Or some of it! But part of their legacy is the discovery of a whole new world. So thanks for the tips, I'll continue my exploration. The Cramps had impeccable taste!

As far as garage and psych are concerned:
Dead Skeletons - dead magick
Shapes Have Fangs - dinner in the dark
Black Keys - el camino
Cosmonauts - new psychic denim
Wooden Shjips - west
Liquid Sound Company - acid music for acid people
the Cosmic Dead - psychonaut
Dirty Beaches - badlands
Singapore Sling -never forever
Lumerians - transmalinnia
Screen Vinyl Image - strange behavior
Night Beats/UFO Club - split
Night Beats - lp
I'm including psych stuff that very post punk/goth/shoegaze influenced in this list. Lots of long songs that are heavy on electronic sounds - may or may not be to your liking : P.

I have to admit- Im sort of stuck in a musical past as well! But there is this one band, Shannon and the Clams, that caught my attention. The singer used to be (or still is?) a member of Hunx and his Punxs-- Also a fun band by the way-- but has her own thing now. Sleep Talk is the name of an album they released this year.
Also Leaches of Lore and Tenderizor are two bands that I've discovered this year. They come out of New Mexico and are just fucking great.
