    • Chris , I haven't looked it over in a while , but, these people obviously did their research , and seem to be reversing stereotypes ala "A Modest Proposal" .

      IF YOU WANT A GOOD LAUGH , look up anti - Rock crusader , Bob Larson , from Dallas , on You TUBE.

      He's spent WAY too much time with his Rock records , trying to prove their direct connection to Satanism , to say he does'nt enjoy them. I was working at the Public Radio Station, KNON ,  in 1986 , when his people were trying to bump us off and steal our frequency to expand their own.....They resorted to cheap , PROBABLY ILLEGAL , damn sure ungodly tactics , but ,  KNON is still around. I think LARSON FINALLY HAD A GOOD SCANDAL(?) , NO MATTER ....Look up "Miss Melba Vs. Gay Day" , too. Larson gets religious prank calls.....

      Has anyone noticed the website's implicitly racist message: That black and working class music is evil? Why haven't they attacked jazz on those pages, as that's where it all comes from?

    • When ? and The Mysterians played The Ponderosa Stomp (Preceded by Roky Erickson , Ronnie Spector , Mary Weiss , The Mighty Hannibal , and the unfortunately awful Greenfuz.), they went on at 2:00 or 3:00 am . They played for close to three hours  . Question Mark was in his glory , and no one took him to task when he proclaimed " Question Mark and The Mysterians are the greatest Rock'n'Roll band in the world , bay - bay !!!!".

      "Bay - bay , groov - ay , Ron - ay , that's Rock'n'Roll !! Anybody out there got some               MON - AY ?!!"

    • August 8, 2014 11:45 PM CDT
    • Susie ,   There IS a lot of stuff out there about the band that is merely rumor and exaggeration ,  no question about it. It's probable that not everything I mentioned is 100% accurate , most of it was from the two articles about the documentary that turned up online , not quoted verbatim , of course. But , if you'd like to clear the air on some things people may not know , or may think they know , but , they heard wrong , feel free. 

       I was'nt there when the band broke , but , I've known them for 18 ("8 - Teen") years . I interviewed Bobby about 20 years ago , then , met the band in Detroit , a couple of years later . Question Mark will confirm that I'm a friend , and longtime supporter , of his . 

      I just say "Q" , in print , when not referring to him as "Question Mark" or "?". It's good to have many names for an Artist , as it gets tiresome reading the same name , over and over. "Que" reads , to me , like " What " in Spanish , and , if "Que" reads like a question , I'm sure he thought that part out , too.....

      I hope the show in Bay City is a huge success , but , the fact that it's going to be a triumph is basically a given.... 

      Thanks , and here's wishing further success to you and the band.       John.

    • Uh, thanks for giving my boys some print but boy howdy theres a lot of stuff out there thats just not right...you won't be offended if I set some of it right will ya?
      BTW I'm the new Publicist for ? and the Mysterians...Que (as he spells it cuz computers don't like ? as a name) didn't have to warn me about the tall tales as I am part of his original '60s fan base.
      I'll get on that debunking task later...gotta rest up for the Bay City show!

    • "It's Mighty Crazy" is such a great song. Beefheart did a version and a couple of years ago Barrence Whitfield & The Savages did a fine one.

    • August 8, 2014 2:26 PM CDT
    • No worries bud.

    • August 6, 2014 3:08 PM CDT
    • ''Blues Fix" was on Big Beat...It's a no - brainer . And , I'm the no - brainer telling you so.

      I think I found it at Tower Records , but , I never saw it , not even used , after that. 

    • August 5, 2014 9:56 PM CDT
    • I MEANT TO SAY "Leased to British and French labels.".

    • August 10, 2014 12:46 AM CDT
    • I MEANT , WAS HE EVER IN TEENAGE HEAD ? IT WOULD'NT SURPRISE ME , BUT I'D NEVER HEARD THAT HE WAS.....

    • August 10, 2014 12:45 AM CDT
    • Bon , c'est bon , bon bon , c'est bon , bon , bon c'est ba ba ba bon , bon......

      Was Dave Rave even IN Teenage Head ? I know he recorded with them......

      He played here , once , at the IPO as part of an all - Canadian revue , headlined by The Kings (Who always bring the rock , even tho' the biggest crowd I've seen 'em play to in Chicago was about 40 people. Yes , they had a big hit(s) in the states , which was a big party anthem for yonks , but , they can't get arrested here , and love playing , anyway.).

      Dave did'nt do much for me , sorry to say. First song was great , but , the rest of his set was...OK.

    • Radio What Wave Playlist Aug 7 2014

       


      This is our last show for a few weeks. The next couple of shows will be hosted by the infamous Ryan In The Red, former host of CHRW's In The Red and Rock City Madness and current host of Garagepunk Hideout podcast Rock City Madness. It cost big bucks to bring in this top notch radio host, so make sure you tune in as Ryan In The Red has a history of really good musical taste! And he's a good guy too!

       


      1. Dixy Blood....Goo Goo Muck...recorded live 2/22/14 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philly as part of the Lux Interior Tribute. It's been 5 years since Lux passed and he's still 5 years ahead of his time.


      2. Space Slave...Don't Want To Fall In Love....recorded live at APK 8/3/14 as part of our Rock'n'Roll Rent Party. This was the first band to play at our first RnRent Party and their first showing of  these songs. Next RnRent Party is Sunday Sept 7th.


      3. The Mongrels....7 and 7 Is?....recorded live at APK 8/3/14 as part of our RnRent Party. The Mongrels are the resident host band for the festivities.


      4. Simply Saucer...Reckless Agitation....from their brand new 12" Baby Nova record.


      5. The Ramones....Loudmouth....recorded live at CBGB's in 1976. This is the fired up jet aircraft in the hangar sound these guys perfected. Ramonsarama is happening this weekend at Call The Office in sleepy London Ontario Canada.


      6. The Ramones...Do You Wanna Dance?.... as above. Hopefully the answer is yes.


      7. The Noble Savages...The Music Will Kill You...from their debut CD. They were opening for Nashville Pussy on the night this show aired.


      8. Dustbin Flowers...Saturday's Ashes...from their II CD. Local combo who play out fairly often.


      9. Dave Rave...4th Of July...brand new demo from Dave Rave.  Dave has a brand new combo w/Gordie Lewis, which makes 2 former Teenage Heads in one band! They debuted a coupla weeks back but probably won't be playing often as Dave is constantly touring across North America and Europe.


      10. The Above...Dog Without A Bone...from the brand new Waterbury Street LP.


      11. RunPerryRun....Left In The Dark...Brantford Ontario combo who have been around for at least 15 years as i was informed while airing this show. Keep the calls and info coming in please!


      12. Frankie and Jimmy....Just Like A Woman....from the Scream The Blues LP. The copies of the LP have arrived at F&J's Chicken Shack and the records are starting to arrive in stores right now, so be sure to pick up a copy real soon!


      13. catl...Resistance Place...from the This Shakin' House LP.


      14. Chris Farlowe....Voodoo...from the Buzz With The Fuzz LP on Decal Records. This is Chris' 1963 to 65 recordings, some of which were unreleased as was this particular track. Chris is still alive and well and belting out the tunes to appreciative crowds in his native UK.


      15. Flight Reaction...The World Is Black...from their self titled debut LP. Swedish combo with Mans P Mannson of Crimson Shadows and Maggots fame.


      16. Marshmallow Overcoat....Groovy Little Trip...from their recent The Very Best Of double LP. Vocalist Timothy Gassen is on the verge of releasing his latest book, The Knights Of Fuzz, the complete encyclopedia of the 80's to current garage band music. The about to be released book is over 500 pages of info, pics, discographies and trivia for us garageband freaks. I've seen/proofread part of it and there's literally a TON of essential info all in one place. Ordering details real soon!


      17. Kumari...She Was Mine...from their latest single of Lost In Tyme Records from Greece.


      18. Young Rival...Black Is Good....from a recent CFMU download, the MacMaster University Radio station in Hamilton Ontario.


      19. Foot In Cold Water...Yalla Yae...from their self titled debut LP from the early 70's. This part of our show is on so called cheesy Canuck combos as there was a discussion of this on facebook recently. What i've done, is played the much better, non-cheesy tune that didn't get played on AM radio. Foot In Cold Water had a hit on Canadian radio called Make Me Do Anything You Want....wimpy poppy orchestrated cheese. Yalla Yae is more along the lines of Arthur Brown meets Deep Purple.


      20. The Guess Who....It's My Pride....from the self titled LP on Birchmount. The Guess Who released a lotta crap, but i like to blame it all on guitarist Domenic Troiano, the Canadian destroyer of bands...ie James Gang and The Guess Who. He was a talented guitar player but as soon as he joined a band they quite often went down the tubes. My opinion only as others regard him highly.


      21. The Stampeders....Wild Eyes...early 70's single. These guys were on constant rotation on Canadian AM radio in the early 70's with Sweet City Woman. But they could rock out live as i remember catching them at the Western Fair here in sleepy London Ontario sometime in the 80's.


      22. Platinum Blonde...No Regrets...self released single from when they were a punk combo. From their they changed into a Police tribute band and finally into a hairspray and makeup pretty boy combo that pre-teen girls liked....maybe that was what the band was into. I remember seeing them a few times at the Cedar Lounge in the late 70's/early 80's and they were really good until they became Police clones.


      23. Ugly Ducklings...Just In Case You Wonder...1966 7" and did not get the airplay of their wimply ballad, Gaslight, which brought them some fame on AM radio. Avoid Gaslight and dig up their debut LP as it's a killer!! BTW Just In Case was one of the very first singles i bought as a kid and severely warped my musical taste of lack thereof.


      24. Chilliwack....Lonesome Mary....from their Segue LP. Dunno why these guys were linked with cheesy Canadian combos as they had a powerpop edge in the 70's. This and Fly At Night still rank as some of my fave pre-punk Canuck songs that got radio airplay. Had to cut this short as we ran outta time but certainly not tunes.

      Big thanx for all the phone ins during this show as we could barely keep up with the calls! And thanx for the emails, facebook messages and Heys!!
      Back in a few weeks as Ryan In The Red takes over.

      And here's a link to the archived show:

    • New post up on 'Trash, Garage Garbage and Other Delights'

      If someone can explain to me how to get the posts to appear normally in here ?  I'd be only too hapy to do so. As it is, each time I try to paste it in, it goes all freaky funky on me !  I feel rather technically challenged at present.
