Agree with this dude. But i guess I can only really blame myself for lack of content since I myself don't contribute enough to the groups as I would like too. Favorite obviously the PODCASTs, what attracted me to the original garagepunk forums and old podcast site. Everything else if pretty sweet too, the music(and the discover of new music), the people, the videos, etc.

Least favorite thing: All the action seems focused in the main forum and not enough going on in the groups.
If you're not in favor of airing your grievances publicly you can always just DM me.

My favourite thing is actually not the podcasts, I rarely listen to them. I am always impressed when I do, but it's always a question of time with me, and I just don't have the free time nowadays... My favourite thing is however, the amount of people that post on here that are NOT from North America. I live in Atlantic Canada, and more specifically a fairly culture-less part of the east coast. So to read the thoughts and opinions of people that are based so far away is awlays of interest to me.
I do have a least favourite thing about this place, but as it is a free service and the good greatly out weighs the bad ( more of a slight greivence really ) I feel it would be looking a gift horse in the mouth to complain.

My band The Violent SHifters are all gearheads/bikers with songs about cars, bikes, semi trucks,steam trains,killing, fighting and fucking!
Here is an interview that features our song "Hot Rod Killing Machine" We are working on a Garage Punk page and are on Facebook and Reverb Nation for now!
Ska came from R&B, jazz and boogie woogie, this song's all the evidence you need. Got anymore Jamaican jazz & R&B?

I'm not much on reggae but I really dig the trad ska/bluebeat/rocksteady stuff from the early 60s...slowly realizin' I dig most, if not all, music made from the early 60s (i.e. surf, vocal groups, pop, r'n'r, ska,...the list goes on baby)
Check out this gem, from 1951 (boogie woogie with the ska upbeats!):

3. Dead Rabbits...No Way...as above. Dead Rabbits didn't do any recording when they existed in the late 70's/early 80's although a couple of live shows from the Cedar Lounge have been preserved on cassette...we've played snippets of these over the years.

20. Sister Rosetta Tharpe...Jericho...from the Gospel Train LP. Picked this LP up for almost nothing at the last London Record show and it's a goodun!
21. Dustaphonics...Burlesque Queen...from the just released Party Girl on Dirty Water Records. Tura Satana wrote the lyrics for this one just before she passed on.

Next week we've got a special treat, Windsor's Weirdonia will be appearing live on Radio What Wave playing over the airwaves for your enjoyment! Check them out in the latest ish of Bananas fanzine out of NYC!!!
Thanks dude! Yeah I found that 7" and I did cut a lil rug! Know what you mean though, about the Hollywood sinners song- it's kind of unexciting though it sounds like it should be- or something.
Meanwhile, I found a few other tracks of the HW Sinners that I enjoyed- like "wonderful feeling" on We Won't Change. I also ended up stumbling apron the Revellions "Up to you"- Decent stuff right there

The Urges Theme on their Dirty Water 7" is pretty dark and dancey. I'm not too keen on the Hollywood Sinner's song on the other side though. It's a bit sort of... tame? But trying to sound wild? I dunno, maybe it's just because the studio's never a good place to go wild.
But I digress. Os Haxixins for sure. Twin Guns for maybe. Wau Y Los Arrrghs!'s song Carerra Especial is real real real good. It's on Slovenly, and speaking of Slovenly, JC Satan have a few good dark stompy songs, but they're peppered in amongst some forgettable echofests. That's their first LP anyways. Haven't heard the new one yet.
Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows called The Eggman Collection which is a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 106th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Matching Mole, Los Vidrios Quebrados, High Tide, The Rock Shop, The Beatles, The Gods, Jon, Faine Jade, The Yo Yo's, Eclection, Them, Leonard Cohen, John Cale, Kensington Market, The Flame, The Zombies, Funkadelic, Spontaneous Combustion, Saint Just, and many many others!!!
I've heard that about him, very cool...It would be very interesting to hear his take on your song "How 'Bout I Slap Your Shit"!
