Thanks.

Is that place still around? Mobineko? I know they were brokering the vinyl out, doing only print in house.

Anyway, I use Rainbo Records in CA, exclusively, best vinyl quality I have seen, average weight is around 155 grams, and they do special 200 gram pressings for me when I ask, since I've used them so much. Price is great, customer service is great, quality is awesome.

I always get my records mastered (master lacquer cut) elsewhere though. Saves a bit of money, and his cuts are ace.

Sorry to bring up such an old thread. I am, as I am sure a lot of others are, a vinyl geek :)

Daddy Long Legs from NYC is a killer raw R&B harmonica blasting and screaming band. There's always The Great Gaylord of Norton Records of course. I play some honking R&B tenor saxophone in  the really worst of the raw trashy NYC bands The Jigglers. Luis & the Wildfires are really good on the west coast. The Phantom Surfers are killer and when Russell Quan gets to screaming "Shake" and "Henrietta" it's some seriously awesome and wild berserk rock n' roll.

The Hideout comps might be a good place to start. ;)

Thanks Brother

The podcasts are a great place to find new bands.  Check out Mottey's Garage Black & Blues Show.  Shout Bamalama is great too, but I think it's mostly artists of yesteryear.

Hey there, I'm Sam. I'm 31, at least for the time being, and I'm from Western PA, more specifically New Castle (directly east of Youngstown, Ohio). I used to be the singer for a band called Dead City Dealers. I've been writing music and lyrics since I was about 15. I think. I've been in a bunch of bands over the last ten or so years, all of which I was a founding member. They would all either morph into the next band or break up due to someone moving away. The last band I simply left and told them to carry on without me. Now I just record at home when I get the urge.

As well as playing in bands, I've been an internet radio DJ, a promoter, a graphic artist, a critic, and a webzine editor/webmaster. For a straight job, I cook at a college.

I'm into punk music in most of it's forms, and all of the other types of rock 'n roll that lead up to and have influenced it. I used to fancy myself as having a decent body of knowledge when it comes to rock 'n roll and punk rock, specifically '70s punk, but I've come to realize that there's always a lot more out there than what I already am familiar with. I like discovering new stuff. So if you think you've got something for me to hear that you think might be up my alley, let me know.

Other than music, I basically just like watching movies, messing around online, hanging out, enjoying the occasional adult beverage, and good food.

I have a Blogger site, if anyone wants to check it out, and there are links in the left sidebar to other places you can find me. It's http://samsinister.blogspot.com/

Hear now the"Promise is a promise"LP- but what I just wrote on Thursday:THE EARLY YEARS cd  is the best(for me!!).Even the vinyl box-set with the LP "On Fyre;Buried alive;Someone who´ll treat you right now" is great stuff but has not this raw,energetic power of the early years.

All in all LYRES are GREAT-specially L I V E...

I've got a mess o' Lyres lore stored in my cranium, from having shared dozens o' boss bills with them over the years, and having booked 'em at the Bay State and elsewhere, and put out Lyres and DMZ 45s back when Chunk Records was a going concern. My most recent shows with them in the Summer of 2010 proved that they've still got it in Spades. You might dig the "Songs the Lyres Taught Us" series from THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW. Five-plus hours of the original versions of songs from Lyres' set lists 1979 to present, bookended with tasty Lyres-type rarities from Mono's secret stash:

THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #4: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 1

THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #18: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 2

THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #19: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 3

THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #26: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 4

Lyres and DMZ are absolute classics!  Lyres were the first garagepunk show I ever saw.  Their live energy is incredible.

What girl bands are you listening to at the moment?

Awww and I was hoping for the 1st Dr Feelgood (& the Interns)...  which would in my opinion make a better movie?

I'm amazed that my musical compatibility with nearly everybody else who's posted so far is either "very high" or "super."

Hmmm... Lots of interesting perspectives here. Personally i doubt whether CDs will 'disappear' - certainly not by next year. But they have now joined vinyl and cassette as 'old-tech', but like them, will continue to be produced for the forseeable future. All the formats, digital and hard-copy, can - and do - co-exist, with people using whatever suits or attracts them.

I agree with kopper that, as a long-time radio DJ, playing ALL vinyl on-air was a pain-in-the-arse and that CDs were a boon! We have been mp3-ing our new release CDs at the station for the past seven years or so, and have an on-going job of adding the older CDs to that collection, whilst still keeping our CD/vinyl/tape collection active (we have over 70,000 items from our 31 years of broadcasting, a very cool library to play from, I can assure you!), so, as DJs, we have the choice of using all, or just one, of the various formats (including using our personal iPods). On our shows, the Cat and I generally use CDs because of their 'easiness', with some vinyl (particularly rare local singles or albums) and very occasionally, something from the mp3 collection. We hardly ever use the iPod due to its inferior sound quality... though we do use music sourced from downloads in our "Obscured by..." show, this is because it's the only way we can get hold of some of these rarities to play, so we put up with the sound.

All these formats have their positives and their negatives and each person will use/buy whichever is most relevant to them... but I do agree that there is nothing quite like the feel/look/sound - and even smell - of vinyl products! [I am very proud of the vinyl that my music has been released on - though last year's single had a download card included - but as it was a 'limited release' of 200 (pic sleeve and bonus inserts etc), I am glad it still lives on available to buy as a download-only]

Yep... I'm still a vinyl junkie!!!

Horrible, that they should stop CDs. Having to download albums would suck. I hate the industry. Wish they'd keep all the shops open and stop downloads instead.
