Anyone interested in doing short runs might consider Peter King out of New Zealand. He will do minimum runs of 20. His prices are pretty damned cheap as long as you do a small run (like 100 or less). Most people wouldn't want to do that, but I think it's great. Aside from the normal stuff he also does 5"s, 8"s, square records, triangles and custom shaped stuff. Everything he does is on clear vinyl.

He doesn't have a website, you have to call him or write him a letter for a quote. If anyone is interested I can email you his contact info. There are a few videos of him making records up on youtube, do a search for "peter king vinyl".

I was pretty happy with the records he did for me. They look great. I'd say the sound quality is a little lower than a regular record, but still really good in my opinion. He's a good option for smaller bands, and people interested in weird/novelty vinyl. Also he's just a really friendly and helpful guy.

Anyone know of a cheaper pressing plant than GZ in europe?

"Walking On The Fighting Side of Me" is so brilliantly reactionary that it warrants a mention even if it aint strictly relevant, I know it by George Jones...

i forget the name of the track, somet like Bam Bam Batty Bye Bye - there's nothing shocking about Jamaicans (in general) hating gay people, lest we forget it was our lot who bashed them so heavily over the heads with that piece of crap The Bible that they knew no different, but Buju Banton getting a children's choir to sing the chorus was a stroke of un PC 'genius".

My favorite apologists song is "Guilty of Being White" by Minor Threat. Ian Mackaye regrets this song and regretted it even more when Slayer covered it and ended the song with ".... guilty of being right!".

In Spazz its actually refering to someone being off their tits on drugs and not being in control, not the best comparison to make.

as for the 4skins they werent a racist band but political. they played anti-nazi rallys and, if I remember correctly, the red wedge labour supporting tours.

Back in the '60s cowboy singer Rex Allen had a weird hit called "Son Don't Go Near the Indians," It's about a guy who keeps warning his son to avoid the local Native Americans, even though he seems naturally attracted to their ways. Turns out the old man wasn't really a racist, Back when the whites and the Indians "weren't gettin' along" the Indians scalped the guy's first son, so he stole the chief's son to get even. And it turns out the chief's beautiful daughter, who the boy inevitably falls in love with, is HIS SISTER!!!!!!!!! So it's really an anti-incest song.

There's a lot of tongue-in-cheek politically incorrect songs by Mojo Nixon like "are you drinkin' with me Jesus?" but the best... or worst... would have to be the album Prairie Home Invasion with Jello Biafra!

I also recently came across Ray Stevens and his novelty "Ahab the Arab," really harmless but presses PC envelope by today's standards!

How about ,'Sit on my Face, Stevie Nicks' by The Rotters  and Rites 4 Whites by The Corpse Grinders. Think they would fit the bill.

I agree with Under my Thumb, rolling stones and "Little T and A", also what about "You Can't Do That" the beatles

As for the new EP, the official Sonics had a link to their ReverbNation page that has songs from the new EP.  They are "Cheap Shades," "Bad Attitude," "Don't Back Down," and "Vampire Kiss."  The lyrics to "Cheap Shades" are pretty awful.

Apparently the rest of the new EP has re-recordings of old tunes: http://www.allmusic.com/album/sonics-8-r2133535

I'd love to know where I could get this Sonics "8" album recorded last year myself! Never heard of that before...

After listening to the whole record, it certainly has it's moments, but it veers into bar band mentality on a few songs...stick to the tried and true Sonics records.

To add to the confusion, I've got an LP that's not on the above list, but could be some variation thereof....

The Sonics!  Sinderella    1980 Bomb Records...Canadian pressing distributed by Rio Records, Toronto

Basically this LP is Gerry Roslie on vocals insanity (that's what it says on the back) and keyboards backed by a combo called The Invaders.

Here's the track listing: He's Waitin', Shot Down, Tallahassee Lassie, Let Me Pass, Leavin' Here, Boss Hoss, Up To The Junction, Louie Louie, Sinderella, Turn-on-Song, Open Up Yer Door and Pastrami Party.

I hadn't played this in years as it's not on par with the 60's releases, but listening to it now, it's not that bad. In fact it's pretty good!

Not a favorite bu t Las Kellies from Argentina are becoming favorites fast

I'm pleasantly surprised this thread is still going strong.

Hey, I like YYY's too. Karen O is a spectacular lead. Their first album definately has a "garage" influence even if their sound gets more polished later.

Please don't judge me, but I really like the Yeah Yeah Yeah's... They have this really cool vibe and of course, the amazing vocals of Karen O. They've got plenty of good records that prove their greatness.

And of course, can't forget about Janis Joplin. Good vocals, lyrical content and of course, good music in overall.

Thanks for responding to my question about Destroy All Monsters! I'm so glad to hear Niagara is doing well and is still active on the scene. She was SO thin back then we were always waiting for her to just fall over... I haven't been to Detroit in years but I always loved it. I know it's kinda farfetched but the club "Bookies" wouldn't happen to still be there would it? Also, do you live in Detroit or somewhere else? I only ask because of your name KK. Just thought you might be the K.K. of Trudi and K.K......

I love the Hagstrom bass!! I want an 8 string Hagstrom bass!

The '66 Decca DMI-203 guitar I got free from Craigslist last month. It was in rough shape but I cleaned it up, cleaned out the pots, and gave it a set up. It sounds splendid.

 

The bass guitar is a '71 Hagstrom HIIBN I got free from my friend's dad with a hardcase. It was given to him by a relative who played in a bar band. Again, this guitar was in rough shape. The finish on the neck was in really bad shape & there was a ground wire coming out from under the pick guard to the bridge. I replaced the pots, fixed the ground wire, sanded the neck, cleaned it, and gave it a set up.

 

The Shure VA-300 mixer I got free from my same friend's father. I use this for micing instruments when recording to get a lo-fi sound. I really like the crappy reverb sound from this unit.

 

The amp I made from a stereo console. I seen a RCA Victor console out for trash while biking so I went home, got my car, and stuffed it in the back seat. It was a basic unit with just a turntable. The turntable was in bad shape so I took the amp and speakers out of it and made an amp with it. The amp cabinet I made from the lid of the console & I used the rest of the console as a box for my bbq supplies/ tools. The RCA tubes appear to be original. The amp isn't very loud but it is good for the living room.
