The Dead Milkmen's "Taking Retards To The Zoo" is one of my favorite completely politically incorrect without ever being vulgar songs.

Driving home from work today and 'Spazz' by the Elastik Band came on the cd player. Now, I dunno about you guys in Amerikyland but Spazz is one of those words that's a no-no and the political correctness police arrest you and lock you up in a quiet place where everybody is nice to each other, wear a lot of corduroy and read The Guardian. Been wracking my brain thinking of other such songs....?
you are my new freind :)

Have to agree with The Outsiders. My all time favourite version of Summertime Blues.
13 floor elevators got it, The Jaguars- It's gonna be alright wicked and sleazy..
The Wheels - Roadblock (people tell they were some Them's rippoff but If you listen to this song you hear they are way more rough and violent then Van Morrison's Them anytime!
Kinks - well the dirtiest guitarsound of it's time (with Link Wray of course) I hear more influence from Kinks in american garage rock than from The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.. weird?
The Seeds and Electric Prunes have always been so mediocrity for me. You can find way better 60's tunes than these gentlemen were doing..
Rocky and his friends/riddlers - You Were Not Using Your Head
Drusalee & the Dead - Lilly
Standell's Dirty Water
anything from the Soncis

i can never get into the seeds i guess they got to hyped up for me
The Seeds - I can't seem to make you mine, Yardbirds - For your love, Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs - Wooly Bully
96 tears
Castaways - liar liar, knickerbockers - lies, Swingin Medallions - Double Shot, Count 5 - psychotic reaction, Trashmen - Surfin Bird, Standells - Dirty Water, Electric Prunes - I had to much to dream. It can go on and on and on.
which songs do you feel are accepted garage standards (ie louie louie, gloria) and what do you feel should be? i'll say the mummies' "planet of the apes" and the outsiders' cover of "summertimes blues."

Before the days of the comp (as we know it today) compainies like K-tel were putting out children music compilations that had some decidingly garage punk tunes and looking back obviously shaped my love of garage/surf punk - and all that stuff here. I wish I still had these lps; they often had songs like Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie...., Chewing Gum Lose its Flavor, With Doctor, Purple People Eater (throw in rockabilly). They were classics, I grew up cherising them, and the best match I can think of for children - maybe someone who knows the albums can post their names.
I have purchased the Groovie Goolies DVDs and can't wait to watch them with my daughter. Just in time for Halloween.

Wasn't Lux Interior in a Spongebob --- his neighbour was one of the artists ????

Many of us — fans and critics alike — have groaned for decades about the fact that the music the general public calls “country” has grown more slick and corporate. At the same time, the blues has lost much of its original gutbucket raunch, becoming smoother, safer, and mainstream-friendly.
One natural antidote to the corporatization of American roots music has come from country punks and blues punks. Call it “roots punk.” Various strains of it have been around for years and years. The term “cowpunk,” for instance, has been around since the late 1970s. The Cramps deserve a big hunk of credit for this. And people have been calling The Gun Club “punk blues” since its first album, Fire of Love, was released in 1981.
Besides The Gun Club, this crazy trail was blazed by pioneers like The Meat Puppets, Jason & The Scorchers, Flat Duo Jets, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Gories, and many others.
My favorite paradox of roots punk is that while it was healthily irreverent, playing upon and making fun of the negative stereotypes associated with country and blues, it seemed far less "sacrilegious" than most of the “country” and most of the “blues” that you hear on commercial radio or see on television.
Punk country and blues are still rocking the juke joints and honky-tonks of the underground, judging by a couple of recent records out of Europe from bands that take the raw, primitive essence of American music — one a “country” band of sorts, the other a “blues” unit — and spit it out with a little punk fire and good-time slop.

yeah i have the vox because im a musical scitzophrenic and i eed to go fromm gutterfuzz to 50s style overdrive in beetween sounds ,
im not one to by vintage instruments to much as when my influenses used them they where new so id get a reissue
ie the reissue fuzz tone and vox tonebenders from the 90s or the reissue vox phantom
First of all; if you're happy with what you already have, I wouldn't worry too much. Try not to get too "anal" about having the "right" equipment... becoming a gear-geek can tend to be counter-productive!
Anyway:
Am not a fan of "modeling" amps, so as a future (?) upgrade, I would recommend the Laney Lionheart series for amplification... great build-quality, a retro-look, and excellent basic clean and/or overdriven tube (valve) sounds.
Also, in my eyes there's no need to go the overpriced "vintage-route", when in search of a fuzz-pedal (or anything else for that matter)... there's plenty of modern-day clones that'll do the job just as well (and in many cases better!). For over-the-top fuzz, I've got a Mosrite-clone from Ashbass called Fuzzbrite (as opposed to the original Fuzzrite), which I got of Ebay for a sensible amount of money.

Shin Ei Fuzz Wah. The last pedal you'll ever need son.
i should mention by obscure garage band i refer mainly to the back from the grave series mainly
So excited for Hans Condor too! Not to be missed. .. Also, I want to meet all of you from GPH that are going to Gonerfest!
Or just go to Gonerfest every year. I go for the ribs too! :)
Thanks for sharing, digging your sets!
