    • Hopefully it's good, some of the vids of his recent gigs were a little disappointing. But I'm a huge fan of early Adam and hope comes back really strong.

    • I think most here have pretty much covered my feelings on the matter, I never really loved CDs. I can tell that by the quality of my CD collection. I usually have to go to my vinyl to hear a lot of what I want to hear. I could probably cut my CD collection by a third and not really miss it much. A lot of my CD purchases now are usually my trolling around for cheap used stuff I already have on vinyl, so that I can download it to MP3 easily. It guess it's a generational thing perhaps, but I have a hard time paying for a product that I can't hold in my hand. I never really asigned much value to CD's, but when it's a choice between buying a 10 or 12 song disc for $5 used or paying 50 cents a song for a download, I will go with the disc.With that said, things like many of my Bear Family releases and box sets, I would be hard pressed to ever get rid of. Quality sound and packaging will always sell to the die hards I think.

      I would like to thank all the labels nowdays that include a MP3 download with their Vinyl. (In The Red, Goner, etc etc). On some of these releases the difference in sound quality between the Vinyl and the MP3 is glaring, but it keeps me from having to hunt down the CD release just so I can enjoy the songs on my commute to & from work.

    • I had a decent collection of 8 tracks when i was but a wee lad. Believe it or not I had DEVO, Sex Pistols, and a few others that were actually pretty good.

      Kind of sad, but inevitable.  I still have a big CD collection, but lately I've been downloading LPs more often because that's the only way I can get a release that I want.  

       

      Since vinyl has been enjoying such a huge resurgence, I've been toying with the idea of getting a turntable, after doing without a turntable for over 25 years.  It would feel weird, especially after turntables were made obsolete by CD players so many years ago, and now CDs are officially obsolete.

       

      BTW, did anyone here ever have eight tracks?  I remember them when I was a kid, but I never had any myself.

    • I saw where a guy was asking where to sell his used MP3s that he didn't listen to any more.  He was being cheeky but still...  Funny!

    • Cheers, John. I'm in the sub-30 generation whom are supposed to lap-up mp3's like they're no tomorrow. Well I know how bad lossy is, I've been using it since 1995! Give me a big audio file instead. I see there's some nice digital players from South Korea which specialise in lossless. I hope to get one at some point.

    • I have a couple of suggestions that are in the range you mention...

       

      The Jolly Jumpers from Finland

       

      The Jet Black Berries albums from the 80s, might be a little too Rock, but worth checking out.

       

      You like Tom Waits... check out Stan Ridgeway

       

      lastly I would also point you towards the records of The Divine Horsemen...

    • Following a recent obsession with the Austin, TX psych band The Black Angels I've been on a search for other dark, muddy, tremolo-ed out bands with a country bent.  I'm primarily looking for bands with a creepy, twangy, reverbed edge to their sound but not necessarily their lyrics.  Another strong influence to what I'm looking for would be Tom Wait's "Jockey Full of Bourbon" or "Going Out West".  So far in my area (Boston) I've found these guys:

       

      The New Highway Hymnal:

      Anybody else have any suggestions old or new?

    • Good luck finding it then! If you do get to watch it, pay special attention to the opening scene and dialogue, it plays into the ending of the film, which I think will stick with you. Also keep an eye out for Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty as a "straight" biker!

      Yeah, this trailer can elicit a giggle or two, but on a serious note, this is actually a very good film. Well "good" as far as drive-in movies go. If you get a chance, check this out, I think you'll be entertained. I have this on dvd, as it came packaged with a bunch of other exploitation films in a "bargain priced" boxed set. But you may be able to find it online (streaming on Netflix?), or your local dvd mart.

    • I need that "I Survived" shirt...  although to be honest with you, before the Sonics started I didn't think I would, I thought I was gonna lose it.

       

      And I agree with Mace, The Swingin Neckbreakers were great.  Lots of stuff off of Live for Buzz.

    • Me i'm hoping that there are some clips posted from the saturday night triple threat of Luis and the Wildfires, Untamed Youth and the Randy Fuller Four. All three were outstanding and escalated the energy level. Don't think i'll ever be with that many people who get it again. Only three others around here know what i'm talking about and two were at the shows.

      Many thanks to all the staff from Norton Records who made it all possible.

    • The Neckbreakers always reminded me a bit of The Real Kids , who , I hope , will be able to return to live work.  It seems like Billy and Miriam kept a cool head thru all the craziness.

      This really was something special...nice to see the efforts of two such amazing people celebrated with an appropriate level of enthusiasm.  The bands were all terrific, but for me I have to say the Swingin' Neckbreakers add-on to replace the Real Kids topped off the whole event!

    • THEE DIRTYBEATS use mostly period instruments from the mid-60's, including KAPA, Mosrite, Rickenbacker and Fender guitars, Fender and Ampeg amps, Big Muff fuzzes, and Morley wahs.  It helps us better recreate the awful/glorious racket made by the original garage bands of the day.   

      My '67 KAPA Minstrel teardrop (see attached pic) is a good example.  It was a cheap guitar way back when, and today the pickups are particularly touchy... but the sound, as unpredictable as it is, is so wonderfully gritty, it's just glorious.  I ended up using it on all the solos I played on our debut ep.
