    • I'm the same age as you, Matthew and I still jump into the fray at shows if I like the band (if I'm not photographing them, that is). And I'm usually the most animated dancer on the floor when I do. I still get an adrenaline rush from listening to rock and roll...I hope that never goes away.

    • I'm 52...and, believe it or not, my grandma was a HUGE Elvis fan since the very beginning.  She saw him play in Tampa, Florida every time he came to town.  No, she wasn't an active rocker, but four years ago I was playing a Wanda Jackson disc and she instantly loved it.  No, you can't be too old to rock, but some folks just get boring as they age!

    • I think the "energy and passion" are keys.  Rock n' Roll is youth culture so we are all a bit juvenile here.  It's bands that become "mature" with age and start playing all mid tempo and clean that feel "old."  You have to stay dirty and unhinged.  The Fleshtones are still doing push-ups at their shows!  And if you are a fan, avoid the temptation to grouse about how much better the scene was in your day because rejecting the new kids makes you a geezer.....and an ass!

      Here's a bizarre but true story regarding this subject.  We just reformed THE SLOTHS at the end of this summer. All of us Sloth members we apart of the Hollywood Sunset Strip era of 1964 to 1966. No one knew that 'Makin' Love' the 45 the original group made in 1965 but was never released, had somehow been discovered and on the 'Back From The Grave 4' album. Nor did we know The Gories and other bands had covered it, or that an original single with sleeve had been sold for as high as $6550.00 on eBay.  We were all amazed. Ugly Things magazine just did a cover story on the group.  But the point is..all this led to us getting together again (in a garage, of course) and starting playing the songs exactly as we had 45 years ago. Some of us had not played, nor have I sang, in over 4 decades. But it was as if no time had passed. Now we're being booked in clubs and venues. The most surreal thing is we were all around 16yrs old back in the day. Now we're in our 60s playing the music of the 60s with more energy and passion than when we were teens. Too Old To Rock? Not yet, thank God.

    • I am 51 and have always and still am listening to 60's garage (Sonics, Standells, 13th Floor Elevators etc), garage revival (Lyres, Miracle Workers, Lime Spiders, Stems, Shoutless, Nomads, etc) and rockabilly (too many to name) as a regular diet. I constantly search for new stuff as well and have to say that Shapes With Fangs are a new favorite.

      It's not your age it's your attitude, everyone keep on rockin'

    • HOW COULD I FORGET ?!  BOB SEGER - "RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' MAN".

      "You can have your FUCKING world , see ya 'round !" ("You can have your funky world...").

       There were a few misheard F-Bombs in the 60's.

      Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought The Law"  "I miss my baby and a good fuck" ("..and her GOOD FUN.". ). Yes , The BF4 DID record a version with an "F- Bomb" , but , of course , that was not the hit single version. IF THEY'D HAVE DONE THAT , BOBBY MIGHT HAVE BEEN MURDERED SOONER THAN HE ACTUALLY WAS.

      Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels - "Sock It To Me , Baby"  "Every time you kiss me , hits me like a FUCK!")  ("Hits me like a punch.".).

      And the FAR lesser known Ron Haydock's "99 Chicks" - "99 Chicks , and it's just my luck , ain't one o' these chicks I'd want to FUCK!". Again , there was a dirty version , and a clean version (Where the F- word is replaced by brief silence.) , but , all 37 people who heard the original single when it came out , did not hear an F-Bomb.

      Oh , yeah , there's "The King of Fuh" by Brute Force. It was on Apple Records. Does'nt mean it would have got airplay if he had'nt said "Fuh King" over and over ....

      The Who's version of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" must have got some FM airplay , even tho' Daltrey says "They got sweeeeeeeeet FUCK - ALL !!!". That's not a phrase commonly used in the States , so Deejays could have said it was something else when The FCC came a- knockin'.

      My Dad had a business associate that told me , back in the 50's , "You were'nt cool at my school unless you'd heard that new Gene Vincent record , "Lotta Lovin'" , that goes "Well , I wanna , wanna lotta , lotta FUGGIN' !"....Of course , Gene did'nt say that , and he did'nt say "Fuggin'' on "Woman Love" , either , but , as if almost losing his leg was'nt bad enough , between the censors and the Musician's Union , Gene  had virtually no career at all in The U.S. by the very early 60's.

    •  I don't know. It's 4:20 PM , here , and I have'nt played the stereo , once all day.

      As sick to death as I am of "Auld Lang Syne" , and glad that it was'nt played at the show I went to , last night , I gotta give it up for Slade's "Auld Lang Syne / You'll Never Walk Alone" medley.    I guess it'd just have to be a good song about new beginnings , but , it's still too early in the day for me to consider that. Best in 2012 , all the same.

    • Hi , Mitchhz.....Believe it or not , friends , The Cramps did write their own material , too....Especially from their third album on (The only obvious "Lift" on "A Date With Elvis " I can remember is Dr. John (Mac  Rebenack's) "Storm Warning" as the template for "Cornfed Dames " , BUT , i'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK OVER  tHE OTHER RECORDS To give you any clues , if , indeed I have a clue "Well , everything is FINE , but I can't find my mind".

      When Lux was still , physically , with us , he said these comps , and unconfirmed connections between their songs and others was getting a bit silly....

      Fo example , it's widely believed that "Human Fly " was lifted from "The Green Mosquito"(Tune Rockers?) , only because it has a similar insect sound ....Ivy said that somebody told her their song reminded them of the other , and she decided , well , I guess I need to find a copy , because I've never heard it !

      I can't trace any of the other songs the lord taught us to anywhere else....Except , "I'm Cramped" was based directly on "Bust Out" by The Busters. Also , a minor detail , The Cramps' version of "Tear it Up" was based on Charlie Feathers' arrangement .

      "Jungle Hop" by The Cramps was a direct cover of "Jungle Hop" by Kip Tyler....Most of the Psychedelic Jungle songs , besides the ones you mentioned , don't bring anything to mind (which is a prerequisite to being a Cramps fan , don't bring anything to mind.), though "Beautiful Gardens" reminds me a bit of "Bertha Lou" by Dorsey Burnette , "Jungle Fever" , by The Playboys ( Yet another Peter Gunnish instro that could've influenced this , "I Can't Find My Mind" , and/or others , and , possibly ,  neither. It also originally reminded me of a heavier take on"Oh , Pretty Woman" , succeeding where Van Halen failed , but , moreso the beat.... They're playing in keys known only to them . There is NO band in the world exactly like The Cramps , and that's because.....The Way I Walk(Jack Scott) , and you can take it from there......

    • A lot of those tunes were originals, though, and credited as such (Mystery Train, Zombie Dance, The Mad Daddy, I'm Cramped, Voodoo Idol, Caveman, etc.). "TV Set" is an original, with a nod to Don & the Galaxies' "Sundown" as is "The Natives Are Restless," influenced by Jerry Warren's "Rompin" and Kai Ray's "I Want Some of That"... but you're pretty much covered on the rest.

    • Jacuzzi Boys- Glazin

      Black Lips- Arabia Mountain

      Mark Sultan- both the Whenever & the Wherever lp's

      The Booze- At Maximum Volume

      There are more that I can't think of right now... The Black Lips probably has the most commercial appeal, but it really is a great album.

    • I've got that Derek and Clive LP with the sick ass cover (As seen below.) . It's shameful that my countrymen will never know how funny Dudley Moore once was.

      "OH , GAWD ! WHEN I SAW DUDLEY MOORE , LYING IN STATE. IT GAVE ME THE HORN !!"

      "Gave me the 'orn. Worrabout Peter Cook , then ?"

      "OH , GAWD ! ROGER FUCKIN' NELLIE , VOICED BY PETER COOK , GAVE ME THE FUCKIN'

       ' ORN !!!". 

       I REMEMBER ASKING PEOPLE AT SCHOOL WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT ONE OF THE BEST DARK COMEDIES OF THE 80's , "NEIGHBORS" . WITHOUT FAIL , THEY'D SAY , "THAT WAS STOOPID ! "ARTHUR" WAS GREAT !!!".

      BRY , I KEEP FORGETTING HIS NAME , OLD HEDGEHOG - FACE , WHO CALLED THE DOLLS "mock rock" on ogwt.

    • I think there was a time that more people saw all this stuff as being part of a greater whole....I think , in the states , where Glam barely happened , most people called it "Glitter" instead. I NEVER HEARD IT CALLED ANYTHING ELSE IN THE 70'.....But , that meant , and still means , everyone from Elton John to Kiss and even Queen gets lumped in with it.

      I guess more people called The Dolls "Glam", but it seems like anyone who wore glitter got called "Glitter" , well after the movement was over. It's interesting that The Dictators looked like regular guys , but , were (Deservedly) accepted as harbingers of Punk in New York. It does'nt seem like New York was nearly as hung up on fashion , at the time , as London ....
       I have a video of two Dead Boys shows at CBGB's. With the exception of the band , themselves , almost nobody looks like they got the memo about The Sex Pistols. It's wall to wall long hair , perms , beards , denim....It was about the music , that's all.

      If you've ever seen Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam" (DON'T  , if you have'nt.), they shot some scenes at and around CBGB's. You'll see guys with big green GBH mohawks . In '77?       I asked my Sister - in - Law , who went to CB's , Max's , etc. , at the time , if she EVER saw as much as one mohawk by 77-78. She said it was possible that Richie Stotts had his first one going by then , but , it would have been a flat "Travis Bickle" job , and no one else would've been following suit , yet...

      I used to promote Sylvain Sylvain's solo gigs in Chicago , before The Dolls reformed. He spoke very highly of you , John , and he also spoke of the division betwween CBGB's and Max's after The Manitoba/County incident. Maybe it was already brewing , I always heard you were a CBGB's band or you were a Max's band , though some bands got away with playing both venues.

        I  grew up in NYC & witnessed the C.B.G.B's/ Max's Kansas City scene first hand. My band, (The Speedies) was on the circuit, though we did not start up till 79. We were a Max's band. After the Wayne County/Manitoba incident there was a division in the scene. The NY Punk scene morphed out of the dying "Glitter Rock" scene, as it was called then. (now people refer to it as Glam Rock, but that's not what we called it when it was happening)

       Saw the Stooges in 73, NY Dolls & The Dictators in 73, Ramones & Heartbreakers in 74. Somewhere around late 75, they started calling it "Punk Rock". The first place I saw the term was in the New York Daily News. They had a  color photo of HDM & Top Ten From the Dictators on the cover of the Sunday Entertainment section with the words "Punk Rock" on the photo in large letters.  We were all so excited to see our little scene starting to get noticed.This was nearly 2 years before any English Punk bands existed. Back then, things were not so compartmentalized into seperate genre's. Most of the  CBGB's/ Max's bands were into the 60's Garage bands like The Music Machine/Standells/Seeds/Sonics etc. Some of them covered 60's Garage songs (Dead Boys/ Hey Little Girl for example) At first the term around town was Sixties Punk. This was a way of describing it so it was not confused with the 70's scene which was now called Punk.

      It was not until the 80's revival that it started to be known as Garage Punk.  I moved to LA after The Speedies broke up & the first band I played with out West was Rik L Rik's band. His band F-Word put out the first Los Angeles "Punk" record. I joined the Fuzztones in 86. They had been already going for a few years. They started as a side project/cover band of Rudi & Deb who had a Power Pop Band called Tina Peel which used to open for The Speedies a lot at Max's & Hurrah's. Rudi looked me up when he moved to LA & asked me to join The Fuzztones. I obliged, mostly because he had a tour of Europe set up. From the start, I had my apprehension. I tried to steer him away from cover songs & 60's "costumes" in favor of  the less contrived approach of some of our peer groups that I admired, like The Miracle Workers, or The Lyres (who had the songs & the look, without appearing like they were wearing uniforms) We constantly butted heads. We signed to RCA in 87. That's when the shit really hit the fan & the resulting megalomania tore the band apart. The experience left me with a sour taste in my mouth for "Garage Rock" & I drifted into the LA Blues & Rockabilly scene, until The Hexxers found me in the mid 2000's and coaxed me back into Garage.  (photo below: SpeedieJohn Carlucci onstage @ C.B.G.B.'s in 1977

    • Love hearing everyone's stories of what got them into this "other' realm of music that was pretty much invisible to so many others.

      @ Kopper - Radio! That's what was instrumental for me too. Now I guess it's Youtube & things like Pandora for the kids. Love the tape you digitized. I've only scanned through it, but it reminds me how much I miss good radio, and how important it was. Made me sad when the DJ referred to John Mayall as being old, mid forties (my age) to early fifties. I have several of my old tapes of stuff off the radio that I've slowly been digitizing too.

      Most of my friends from back then got into punk through skating and people they met at the skate spots and parks. I was never a skater. I owe my "awakening" as you can call it to two people. Rodney Bingenheimer and Lisa Guerrero. Lisa was my girlfriend for a few key months there in 1980. She was 18 and I was jailbait, 14. (I now understand why my mom hated her) She was into "new" music I guess you could say, not really punk, but not full on "New Wave" as we would have probably called others. She turned me onto alot of stuff like the Clash, 999, Go-Go's, Selector, Specials, Modettes, others I forget. She didn't get to much into the current stuff I was finding on my own, Black Flag, Germs, DOA etc etc. She would go see the likes of the Ramones and Holly and the Italians and go to the dance clubs here in LA like the Odessy, Casa Blanca etc. as opposed to the small clubs. Rodney Bingenheimer as most know, was and still is a DJ here in Los Angeles. His show on KROQ ran from 8pm to midnight Saturday and Sunday back then. As the Angry Samoans said "4 hours of Phil Spectre rock". But in reality it was much more than that. Rodney was playing everything from the Ronettes to the latest Black Flag demo. In fact much of the music he was playing was unreleased. Bands would send him stuff or hand deliver it to him at the station and he would play it. And of course he would have most anybody who was anybody come through and do an interview with him. The Surfaries and Ventures, would drop in, as would Wendy O, Keith Morris of the Circle jerks or Levi Dexter.

      I should also mention fanzines too. They were instrumental in finding out about bands and records (and often cassete releases) that were out there. Flipside was the bible for me. The last issue of Slash was still on the stands when I started discovering punk, but it was Flipside that seemed more immediate for my era of punk. You could find out about the latest Fullerton or Huntington Beach bands that hadn't recorded anything yet, or learn where to send away for the Heart Attack 7" in New York or the Fix 7" in Michigan. It was also through Flipside that I started trading tapes and records with people from across the country and overseas too, who opened my ears to many bands I had missed up to that point like the Eater and the Rezillos to name a few. Although it should also be noted that Zed records was an hour's bicycle ride away, and me and my friends discovered many new bands by perusing the inventory there.

      As I said I was young, so living in the suburbs of LA made it hard to get out to proper gigs. I'd maybe sneak out to a show once a month, (and then spend a few weeks in trouble from mom). I was halfway between the Vex in east LA and the Cuckoo's nest in southern Orange County. But there was also an active party circuit in the suburbs for the newer bands. We saw Social Distortion, TSOL, the Vandals, Adolescents, Channel 3 and many more in living rooms and backyards all across the suburbs.

      As far as 60's punk, outside of what I'd heard on Rodney and KRLA like the Seeds, Music Machine etc, I was somewhat oblivious, until one of my older punk friends turned me onto a cassette of what was most likely the Nuggets comp. It was an eye opener, but outside of some of the Paisley Underground type bands, I didn't really dig a whole lot deeper till much later. I was still chasing the diminishing returns of punk leftovers in thelate 80's into the early 90's when an old friend who worked for Flipside and then later a new friend who had a lo-fi noisy garage band opened my eyes to what I was missing like everything on Estrus, Sympathy etc etc.. I found it exciting because for me, it was back to the clubs and one off venues as opposed to the more established bigger places that I seemed to be going to a lot of shows at. It was now all about the Mummies, Gories, Lazy Cowgirls, Devil Dogs etc etc.
