Axel , It sounds like they mean they would like to hear The Ravonettes cover it...."Die When You Die" actually IS a cover song , of sorts. It's taken directly from "You're Gonna Die" by Destroy All Monsters. He changed it a bit ,  of course , the words are his. He did the same thing with "Scumfuc Tradition" ("Family Tradition" by Hank Williams , Jr.) , "Outlaw Scumfuc" ("Longhaired Redneck by David Allan Coe.) and even "Blow Jobs" ("She Got a Nosejob " , a Mad Magazine record !!!!). YES , I DO NEED TO GET OUT , TONIGHT.

are you talking about they have already cover it or you like to hear them cover it? (don't find it on youtube)

i loves GG - was really surprised by how much i liked the music - leave out the blood and shit montage and listen to the Murder Junkies music - it's great. and GG himself - his lyrics are pure pain but he was a wordsmith for sure...

Allin was influenced by Hank Williams, as well as the Stones, the New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, The Stooges, etc. I wonder what he could do with a Smiths song (and I'm a Smiths and occaisional GG fan)?

Hey , Mike. You might be thinking of "Hated in The Nation" , which was a ROIR cassette comp of various studio recordings , inc. the ones with Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson - or some of 'em - and the very Bubblegum Punk of "Gimme Some Head"  which I thought WAS the guys from The MC5 , but I guess was J. Mascis on Kramer-ish guitar - all spliced together with aggravated stage banter from the "Legendary" Twilite Room , Dallas 1985 show ( Which I was at.). It was later released on vinyl , and probably CD.

Retraction : Maybe you mean one of a few reissues of his first album , "Always is , Always Was , and Always Shall Be". I had a chance to buy it once , when Allin was virtually unknown beyond The East Coast. It is , as others , here , noted , truly innocent compared to what he put out in later years. I thought he LOOKED too innocent to be this monster I'd read a little bit about in Trouser Press....Little did I know...that , and the fact I could probably ask three figures for it , today , if I had bought it , then.

Mike said:

Only saw GG once. Way late. Maybe early to mid 90's up in San Francisco. I wasn't impressed. Just watched him do his poo thing and chase people around the club. Musically, it was boring and pretty generic sounding. With that said, I do like the two singles I have - 'Gimme Some Head' & 'No Rules' which it seems alot of people I know don't like. There was a CD that came out around '99/2000 that had most of his early stuff on it. i really liked it but can't find it now. Anyone know what it was called?

pills thrills n bellyaches!

    brilliant album!

I always imagined it to be a revived version of the Kinks and Beetles and 60s stuff so the whole northern soul and funk is a new idea I'll have to have a look at. To be honest though in 1993 I was only 7 so I pretty much missed the significant stuff and got the arse end of it. I remember it in 1997 particularly with the 'cool Britania' thing New Labour were spouting off. And about then Blur and Oasis were staples, Wonderwall and Parklife and all that. I still have Tender as a single which is a bit dull but the French Song (B side) is actually rather cool. I was quite big on the Sterophonics, but some cunt stole my CD. They went majorly downhill though with Just Enough Education to Perform in the same way that Oasis managed to make the worst record ever with Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.

I also heard that Brit Pop was in some ways a reaction to grunge, trying to make a British scene, which kind of makes sense in the same way how the Kinks and British Invasion bands were trying to do a British version of what was going on in America at the time. It's one reason why British music usually works better than some other countries because it just sounds embarrassing when you try to outright copy what's started in the USA.

I never really did the Happy Mondays but I really should buy a few records, any suggestions?

Anything spring to mind?

Yeah I like some of that. I was a little un in the 1990s and so it was on the radio all the time.

Yeah I like some of that. I was a little un in the 1990s and so it was on the radio all the time.

I grew up with a lot of the Madchester and Britpop stuff, like The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, Suede, Blur, Elastica, Ocean Colour Scene, Kula Shaker, Primal Scream et al. I was wondering if there were any fans of it on here?

I noticed some of the Madchester bands were heavily influenced by Northern Soul and Funk, right down to the drumming and wah-wah guitars (Fools Gold and anything by the Happy Mondays).  

I'd love if you check out Zero Hour sometime. It's my radio show on WMSE 91.7 in Milwaukee. It airs Fridays from Noon to 3 p.m. You can listen online at wmse.org, where it is also archived.

I play all independent (with a little cheating now and then) rock-n-roll. Expect garage, old R&B and honky tonk, rockabilly, punk, blues, alt.country, soul, surf, power pop, etc. spastic, goofy, primitive, loud, lots of Milwaukee and Wisconsin because that's where I live, lots of Virginia and North Carolina because where I used to live, and lots of Memphis because, shit, it's Memphis!

The Soul of a society

By

Chris Henniker

Detroit has the reputation as the soul music capital of the world, but never has its influence ever been associated with anywhere behind the Iron Curtain. There is one exception:  Marta Kubisova. Miss Kubisova’s soul recordings between 1966-70 have been collected in a charming little compilation, “Ne! The Soul of Marta Kubisova”, by Vampisoul Records that captures the mood of Czechoslovakia undergoing dissent. When people wanted society to open up, the popular music captured the feeling by its utter lack of propaganda. Although I only know a few words of Czech, you can’t imagine the principles of Socialist Realism fitting the funky organs and melancholic brass straight out of Oke, Stax or Atlantic studios, can you?

When I bought it, I was unsure what I was getting into. I saw the words “fuzz Guitars” on Rough Trade’s description, which is reassuring, but anything for a fiver I guess. Well? I was expecting Eurovision type dross, but it’s no different to any American soul album. If there were any mods or skinheads behind the Iron Curtain, they would be cutting a rug to this.  Except her version of the Hare Krishna chant is catchy and unexpectedly kitsch. In a society where religion was suppressed, it’s almost Eurovision quality is somewhat defiant in the face of the tanks that rolled through Wenceslas Square. It sounds like those naff nonsense songs you get in the Eurovision Song Contest, like Bim Bong Bombi Bang, but it’s even more challenging given Czechoslovakia was a Catholic country under the yoke of Russian colonialism. The events of the Prague Spring make the psych-folk Ballad of The Soldier and the Girl feels all the more poignant. It feels like a tragic tale of lost love and yearning.  Even the ending feels sitar-like.

The more upbeat numbers like the Beat/Blues number Na Co Te Mam could be  British Invasion classics if English was a Slavic (as opposed to a Germanic) Language. It does feel like it goes into kitsch at times, but the soul influences are far too strong for it to do so. The closer sounds like Astrid Gilberto with its Bossa Nova beats and is ideal for a hot summer’s afternoon in Rio, overlooking Copacapana Beach with a Rum and Coke. Beats huddling for bread in a shortage economy, doesn’t it?

Like I said, it’s a charming compilation that captures the spirit of a time when people wanted change as well as one girl’s talent. She was even tipped for international stardom, until the regime banned her as an instrument of American imperialism. It’s a true document of history, which gives a glimpse behind the Iron Curtain and the soul of a society that wanted to get funky.   

Yeah, that's about right. Have a band like the Fuzzzzzztones come up on your saturday night date chat on what music turns you on and explain their looks and Garage antics and it's FROWN from your companion. Tell them you dig the cute lookin' Black Lips and it's all, AH YEAH SO COOL SO GREAT SO CUTE! GARAGEPUNK IS SOOOOO GREAT!

Nothing against the Black Lips, but one part of why they are making it big, is because they are young and good lookin.

people just have no backbone, that helps them dig the dirt below the trends, they are guided by the iTunes store hot list. And that is shallow territory.

There's a lott of confusion thru "bands" calling themselves garage right now, because kids mistake it for what's hip and don't know the roots. ...The everlasting trouble with trends.

Forgive my short babbling, I'm inna hurry.

The term "Garage" is trendy, but I don't think true garage rock bands are trendy. The NFL used garage rock "type" bands for all their ads last year, that helps get the sound out there in the mainstream. I don't think hipsters really know the roots, they just dig the sound and style.

Ha! Thanks for that!
kopper said:

Hell yeah, it's trendy as fuck right now. And it's really annoying. I keep hearing or reading of "garage" sounds or influences in bands that sound NOTHING like garage rock (or "garage punk," for that matter). I think it's just the state of the music scene right now. Bands like the Hives, White Stripes, and Black Lips (amongst others) really put "garage rock" in the mainstream, and then you had labels like Vice Records jump on the bandwagon with lots of money to promote it with the help of corporations like Scion, and BOOM. It's the "next big thing." Problem is, too many of these bands are just plain BORING, and I bet most of 'em wouldn't know a Sonics or Oblivians tune if it hit 'em on their heads.

Oh, and by the way, I never could stand the Strokes. As far as I'm concerned they were the "Pearl Jam of Garage Rock," a fabricated band, totally fake, with crappy music that might be OK when compared with the rest of mainstream "rock music," but pales in comparison to most of the real garage rock/punk out there.

Dave,

I sympathize with your plight to an extent. Here in MN we may be spoiled, but we have our share of rednecks and naysayers on the periphery. Really though: Bands can't be dangerous up there? Being dangerous and being a dick are two different things. Honestly, I wouldn't want some jackass in a band spitting on me either. To me that's not dangerous, that's poseur shit like Green Day and Manson. If somebody spit on me I'd probably want to beat his ass too or at least spit back on him. There are better ways to be dangerous with some good healthy subversive lyrics or an aggressive stance. Trust me, my band Murder Lane played a redneck joint once where everyone HATED us. This was a podunk, honky tonk dive and we were in full face paint singing about "Drinking Redneck Blood": Ya think that went over well? Needless to say, thought we were destined to get linched. We finished our set anyway and hung around for free beer. Did anyone pick a fight? Nope. But I'll tell you what, we were ready to throw down in a heartbeat. Why? Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some redneck spoil my fun. Besides, maybe some tough guy rednecks will think twice after they get the crap kicked out of them by a 40 year old punk in Frankenstein makeup.

Garage sure isn't trendy in northern British Columbia, which is why bands can't be dangerous up here. It's hard enough getting gigs at the northern folk festivals (and we do like playing them, it's all we have, plus it's a good way to get in free to a three day party). Bands are thrown out for being too rock and roll, sad but true. So no swearing at the audience or spitting whiskey on them - just ask a band called the Turncoats about their Kispiox experience.

I'm curious to know how NoMeansNo did at Atlin or Dawson City a couple years back? (sorry I didn't make it, it's still two days driving north of here) I used to love seeing NoMeansNo and never felt in danger near the stage. Moshing used to be a lot less violent than it is now, and it was fun. Rock and roll should be fun. I totally agree that passion and energy are often lacking, and are a requirement. But after our first gig a few years ago where we almost got into fights with local rednecks at the local pub, we decided that isn't the way to go for rockers in their 30s and 40s. Passion and energy can just mean a good fucking time is had by all.
Rob Wright said:

The thing I can't down with in regards to the new crop of 'garage' bands is they are all so fucking wimpy!  Where's the danger, the excitement, the punk rock?  I like psych, and I like some stoner-y kinda stuff too, but I need some energy and passion and spite and hate in my rocknroll to really get me going.  I rarely feel an element of danger bands live shows these days, it's either straight up 'bug' music (see: The Flintstones) or it's just so wimpy that I can't get behind it.  I don't need a GG Allin show, but c'mon, make me feel like I might get hurt if I get a little too close to the stage, y'know?!  GIMME DANGER LITTLE STRANGER

Show #342: "Bands & Artists Starting With F, Part 6"

Every 3 weeks I do a show where I randomly draw a letter from the alphabet. Then I play all bands & artists in my collection from the 50s, 60s and 70s that start with that letter in alphabetical order. This week I drew the letter "F". This is the sixth time I've drawn the letter "F", so I will start from where I left off (which was with Five's Company). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "F" like: Sonny Flaharty & The Mark V, The Flame from Afirca, The Flame from the UK, Flamin' Groovies, The Flaming Ember, The Flamingos, 2 different Flares, Flash, Flash & The Memphis Casuals, Flat Earth Society, The Flee-Rekkers, Fleetwood Mac, The Fleetwoods, Les Fleur De Lys, The Flies, The Flirtations, Flo & Eddie, The Flock, Floh De Cologne, Floribunda Rose, The Flow, The Flower Children, The Flower Pot, The Flower Pot Men, and many many more!!!

Yeah , and Dan Clowes did ones for The Headcoats , Supersuckers , Victor Banana and others.  Peter Bagge did a 45 sleeve FOR THE LATE , GREAT , THE BROOD , an A-Bones/Girl Trouble split , His own band,  Action Family , and others. He did a T-Shirt for Tad , don't know if the artwork appeared elsewhere , and The Troggs' Tribute comp , "Groin Thunder!". 

Bibliodiscoteque said:

Jaime Hernandez did a cover for The Makers and Sam Kieth did one for the Groovin' Ghoulies

 

There's actually a band , Seduction of The Innocent * , made up of people in the Comic Book Industry , including Bill Mumy , of "Lost in Space" and "Barnes and Barnes" fame.     * The name comes from an infamous book , released in the

50's , that suceeded in getting the Comic Book Industry neutered , as well as slandering Rock'n'Roll and Horror movies , anything that made being a kid bearable.

The Unbelievable Uglies had an INSANE Garage Punker called "Spider - Man" , tho' it sounds like it may be about a monster , not the Comic Book Hero.  Jan and Dean had an (Also Insane) Pop Art - Rock LP about Batman and Robin.

Scotty McKay (Ex - Gene Vincent's Blue Caps) can be seen in the movie "Creature of Destruction" wailin' on a cool groover ( I sound like The Real Don Steele . Sorry) just called "Batman" , with a chorus similar to the TV theme . but far enough from it to avoid lawsuit. I read that he was threatened with one , anyway.

the Liverpool Scene had a very cynical Batman song ("Are you going to get us out of Vietnam....BATMAN ?").

SKY SAXON EVEN HAD ONE CALLED "SUPERMAN 5". It's not one of his better moments.

Donovan referenced Green Lantern . Marc Bolan , Dr. Strange and Silver Surfer. Chrissie Hynde , tho' I'm no fan , Howard The Duck.

Paul McCartney and Wings had one about Marvel Comics' "Magneto and The Titanium Man". Reportedly , Macca attempted to purchase Marvel Comics for $Two Million , a lot of money in The 70's.

I'VE GOT A POSTER FROM THAT Pipettes' song about Archie....BUT , didya know , The Archies were the first group to drop Jimmy Page's name in a song? Don't believe me ? Look up "Waldo P. Emerson Jones" on You Tube. Ron Dante might have known him....   A lot of superhero kiddie records were made in the 60's and 70's that actually have some pretty rockin' studio creations. "The Super Dupers" LP and "The Sensational Guitars of DAN AND DALE - BATMAN AND ROBIN" album come highly recommended. Both were rumored to feature Lou Reed on guitar  . The latter LP , MORE RECENTLY , WAS REVEALED TO FEATURE SUN RA (On organ) , with The Blues Project. Still sounds like Lou , to me.

 I think Fred Cole would be overjoyed to even be considered in this conversation , truth be known. He was and is a huge Yardbirds fan. A huge early career disappointment was getting the call to go to San Francisco to open for The Yardbirds at The Fillmore on one of their last U.S. tours , if not the last. When he and The Weeds got to the venue  , they were told no such booking had been made.    Pretty much anything Cole has done during , and since , The Lollipop Shoppe/Weeds (Same band.) era comes recommended , though , no , it's not for everybody.

 Julia , I think most people just call it "Brit R'n'B"....Turn yourself on to The Pretty Things , Downliners Sect , Yardbirds , Spencer Davis Group , stuff like that , if you have'nt already. I know these are more obvious suggestions , and other people may have more ideas , at the drop of a hat , that had'nt occured to me . Some of the British Invasion bands started out with more R'n'B leanings , but , went more Pop , like The Moody Blues , Zombies , Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders , Searchers , Manfred Mann . iT'S FUN TO GO BACK AND CHECK OUT WHICH ONES STARTED MORE BLUES OR R'n'B Based , THEN ,WENT INTO SOMETHING ELSE..... Best , John.
