LOL!  Hey, I've been to Cleveland, and I don't have any serious problems with it.  Keep in mind that I'm from Pittsburgh, but then again I'm not the sort of "yinzer" who lives for nothing but football.  Keep in mind that the Dead Boys are from Cleveland.

He's coming to Pittsburgh on Oct. 27, and I'm going to see him, so that's why I'm asking.  I'm not a huge fan of Mott the Hoople, but I do like their glam era albums, i.e. "Dudes," "Mott," and "The Hoople," and I do have his first solo album.  I really like his  original version of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy."

I'm also going to Cleveland on Oct. 7 to see Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks/Demolition 23.  A local punk band that I'm friends with are opening for him.  

Hopefully, both artists will play a smattering of songs from their previous bands.

Probably, Kurt Cobain and Jack White!

Um, inflation?

in the good old days like the '60s and '80s garage was what it was beacause the axes (the much neglected fender jaguar a prime example), the amps (silvertone 1483 anyone?) and your pedals (like the beautiful mosrite fuzzrite) where cheap as hell, what happened?

It huts indeed.

Oh, and Kopper.

The holy trinity- Greg, Jack, & Eric. Even though I see the argument for Jack White, he was influenced by The Oblivians and even bought his guitar from Jack Oblivian. Then there's the personal preference of mine for The Reigning Sound and Goner Records. Not to knock The White Stripes, but a lot of the bands they influenced sound more like indie rock with a few blues riffs. The bands on Goner and influenced by Greg Cartwright sound closer to the real deal for me while somehow still sounding modern and relevant.

Burns Cobra and a Vox combo that I played on vacation.  You can't keep from playing Shadows licks:

Mark Sultan, Quintron, Bloodshot Bill, Hasil... that's a tough one.

Don't be embarrassed for early episodes - I had a great weekend starting at the beginning - as Paul Weller once wrote "that's entertainment".

Ha, thanks... I think. ;) I'm totally embarrassed when I listen to my early episodes of Primordial Ooze or Savage Kick. I read from a script half the time and tried to make them sound too perfect. Savage Kick #8, I think it was, was especially goofy as I really laid on the hardboiled detective slang pretty thick. I think Noise Annoys was a much better show. More natural and with less yammering on about bands and labels and all that. I wish I had more time to do more of them, but life gets in the way of living some times, ya know? Maybe some day. If and when I bring it back, I'm thinking of limiting the announcement breaks even more, so that it's almost completely DJ-free (except for the occasional interruption to remind you what you're listening to). I might try that out and see how it goes.

As for the beginning, there really isn't much of a story. We just decided to do it (with the encouragement of my friend, Bill Streeter)... and for several months there were flying by the seat of our pants (those were the "GaragePunk Pirate Radio" days, remember?). I recorded my first few episodes at KDHX, where I was still doing The Wayback Machine, since I hadn't yet figured out my home recording setup. That was awkward (recording it in the production studio at KDHX). Subsequent episodes of Savage Kick were recorded at home using Audacity, then, finally, GarageBand.

If you want to hear me in a much more *natural* state, the Wayback episodes are probably better, because they were all recorded live with all the imperfections that naturally come with doing live radio. There are a couple hundred or so episodes on the Wayback Machine site that you can listen to; just click the "Audio" category from the menu on the right. I've been ripping CD-R and tape recordings of some of the episodes and putting them up, and I still have a bunch to do (it's an ongoing project).

By the way, here's the link to the earlier episodes of the podcasts on the old GaragePunk.com blog:

How was that very first time you immersed yourself in a GaragePunk podcast ?

I wouldn't mind hearing Kopper's story of that very first night he launched from the man himself.

I sat down this extended Hurricane Irene weekend (office w/o power Monday/Tues so had free time) and listened to the first 30 or so episodes of Savage Kick and it reminded me of the excitement and power of finding this site for the very first time.  My very first GP podcast experience was stumbling into this site and Flying Saucer Rock & Roll #6.  This is back when the most recent podcast was the first thing you saw when coming here.  This and the podcasts on that first page changed everything for me.

Take time some long weekend, pick a podcast, start at the beginning, and see how the creator evolved over time or remind yourself of songs you forgot about.  Pure fun.  And a chance to hear Count Koppula (2007 Halloween for those interested). 

THE HOLLOWS:)

I Like a lot of Montreal Bands:
Demons Claws,
King Khan
BBQ
Sexerinos ( having a reunion)
Mark Sultan
Mystery Girls
Light Bulb Alley ( ha ha)
Sunday Sinners

Also Toronto : Deadly Snakes

Detroit: Detroit Cobras

There is lots more JUST FROM THE TOP OF MY MIND

Love all the Podcasts awesome!!!! Check them out!!!

I always find it humorous when people post their own stuff in the 3rd person. Just admit it's you! You wouldn't be the first to do that, ya know.

BTW, it's not bad... kinda reminds me of Dead Moon and/or Pierced Arrows (another couple bands Duke or anyone else should check out... they have a direct link to '60s garage, too, vie Fred Cole [who was in the Lords/The Weeds/Lollipop Shoppe] — How many other current bands can say that?)

Really new band but with a great sound:

The spring king is not a proper spring reverb. It is a digital pedal. The spring that is in it is only for the 'crashpad' feature.

Very Cool!  I'll have to check that out!

From what I seem to be hearing... NY ain't to much of a happenin' place these days. Wich is a shame and kinda perculiar. Guess the lame asses have taken over the city?

The constant 'drummer problem' I've noticed, is the 'can't remember wich song is wich by the title only'. The not showing up, or just can't, or don't feel like syndrome is wide spread.
