what actual model is the amp if its the vt+ i got one in june and can recomend a few tones (alsow check out the tone room on the vox site

I haven't started recording yet. Basically, I am in the planning process, getting my ducks in a row.

That tascam recorder looks pretty cool. However, I couldn't find any specs on it. I'd like a high sampling rate so I can get a piece of goodness coming out of my analog deck.

is really cool.  Tascam dp-03.  Its a little digital 8 track, and has mix down options.

 

Do you already have the recording done or are you looking to start from scratch?

Inches per second. The faster the tape, the higher the quality.

this is what I call beauty

Also by the bad , bad Crestones , "The Chopper" . Probably one of the first Rock'n'Roll songs to refer directly to choppers."So if you're cruisin' around , lookin' for a go , come around the South Side of Chicago. I'll show you what I mean when my chopper starts to scream !".

I dunno if Canned Heat could be classified as "biker rock", but the Oakland Angels left their "APPROVED BY THE HELL'S ANGELS" logo on the band's albums :):):):):)

RIP MARISKA VERES::(:(:(:(

....My new favorite one man band is Jerry Van Dyke as the "Sultan's Favorite" Exotic Dancer's

backing musician , with a speech impediment and confidence issues , who's a hero in the end , on "The Andy Griffith Show".

...Or even "No Reason To Complain" by The Alarm Clock (Last night's performance of it is viewable on the Norton Records thread.). Even when sung by a snotty lil' teenage Punk , the message of reluctant resignation to his own percieved disposability is clear , and the anger , betrayal and hurt come to a boil , diffused only somewhat with a loner's acceptance.

The Poets were the masters of mood!! Check out 'I Love Her Still', beautiful chiming riff, utterly mizzog - perfect! Or the [originally] unreleased 'I'll Keep My Pride', another 'razor blade and hot bath' epic!

'Sad How Love Fades Away' Paul Messis. Dig the abject misery and resignation in Paul's voice when he sighs just before the organ solo - UTTER GENIUS!!

Alarm Clocks , Garage Kings.  There's more than white socks and Cheez - Whip in Parma (PARMA ?!!).

thank you!

Show #349: "The Eggman Collection #105"

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 105th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: International Harvester, Paladin, Duncan Browne, Lard Free, Kuni Kawachi & The Flower Travellin' Band, Donovan, Tin Tin, Mark Wirtz, Missus Beastly, MC5, The Merry-Go-Round, Kansas, Christie, Tractor, Sopwith Camel, The Knickerbockers, Lazy Smoke, String & The Beans, Kraftwerk and many many others!!!

I saw them open for Best Coast along side Bleached and I was blown away. I was getting awesome flashbacks of Jay Reatard listening to these two. Would love to see them live again!

GB City is one of my favorites of the past year.  Great LP.  Get it if you don't have it.

Cool, we're going to support them here in Tübingen/Germany in two weeks. I've never heard of them before, but I'm really looking forward to it! I checked their myspace page and really liked what I heard.

I've got kids, my daughter is 14 and had a party last year and some of her friends had never seen a record before.

I'll still buy them if it's something I *really* want and can't find on vinyl, but I usually just end up ripping the songs to MP3 and listening to them on my iPod. Because of that, these days I pretty much stick to buying MP3s. I have two kids—very little time for much else! But I love eMusic and the fact that I can buy songs there for around 49 cents each. It doesn't mean I still don't love to buy the physical specimen (such as the vinyl LP), but the way that I *listen* to music nowadays is completely different than it was 30, 20, 10, or even five years ago. And ripping MP3s from vinyl is a PITA. I have to do it in GarageBand on my Mac and the importing/editing/exporting can take a while for each song. I don't have all the time in the world to sit around doing that, unfortunately, so a lot of my vinyl has yet to be ripped and sits on my shelves at home rarely ever getting played. :(

I think record stores will be all right. Like I mentioned earlier, vinyl sales continue to rise... so people have to buy them somewhere! And record stores will still be able to sell used CDs. Niche stores like Apop in St. Louis, Goner in Memphis, etc. will be OK, but if it's not a niche store like that, then they're going to have a harder time staying afloat.

I've more or less stopped buying CDs, they lost their appeal as soon as I could burn my own at home, much the same reason I never bought albums on cassettes in years gone by. Vinyl is still my format and with so many LPs coming with a download code too I won't mourn the death of the CD. Doesn't bode well for the record store though.

Wow, you guys have pretty much equipment, I feel a little inadequate, but still:

Guitars:

- An old black Fender Squier guitar (with that damn Floyd Rose Tremolo), I have no idea what guitar exactly that is

- My brand new sexy Höfner Galaxie reissue

Amps: An old Dean Markley 50 watt amp

Effects: A Behringer Blues Overdrive, the Marshall Guv'nor, the Danelectro Tuna Melt tremolo. And in my noise band I also use a Cry Baby wah wah.

Not especially garage stuff, but that's all I head or could afford to buy new...
