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"!

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!):

Love the older stuff mainly. Huge old soul fan. Stormy, Marion Black, Dyke & The Blazers, just to name a few. I am a drummer in a garage rock band, but have a side Funk Soul Project. I love the garage vibe, but there is nothing like layin it down with a funk riff. Puts you in a good mood instantly!

Let me add my own little "Yeah" for Erik, who has been a true indie music supporter for DECADES. The style posers will always come and go, but the true believers like Erik keep this music alive, against all odds.
Erik, the major economic issues you face are faced by us all -- no one is buying much product, but plenty sure are copying and "sharing it" (it's called stealing in the real world). This is putting so many indie labels and producers out of business, but won't stop anytime soon.
So I hope you will keep the faith and continue to put out great stuff! We have no other choice, lol.
"Telstar " and "Night of The Vampire". Although it's not an instrumental, I love "Johnny, Remember Me".
Yes Night of the Vampire is indeed one of Thee most twisted instro's ...
I'm gonna have to check out my collection to see if I can top that one or b ring to light stuf you might not know .. well the whole "I Hear A New World " Meek moon concept LP (alright some of it is vocal) March of the Dribcots,anyone? ha,ha
I listen to and love about half of this list--can't wait to listen to the rest! thankzzz :)
would recommend you in return: Thee Oh Sees (though i'm guessing you already know em), Woven Bones, Nobunny, High Pop, Allah-Las (don't have much out right now but they sound awesome)....

Ty Segall, King Khan (all of his bands), CoCoComa, Black Lips, The White Wires, Moonhearts, Personal & the Pizzas, The Spits, Bad Sports, Wax Museums, Cheap Time, Jacuzzi Boys, Fungi Girls, Wau y los Arrrghs!!!, Thee Fine Lines, The Unwed Teenage Mothers
Definitely going to have to say The Funhouse here in Seattle. It has an evil clown motif! And though I haven't touched a basketball in almost 15 years, they've got a hoop in the back! Always a lot of energy, always great garage/punk shows - stiff and cheap drinks and just an overall fun atmosphere.
