Feeling like offering me a super nice & kind & unforgettable present ?!?
Anyone ?!?
Knocked out by just reading this!
Just been to BROOKLYN ...F-U-C-K!
I'd go but I'm only 20 and can't go. This fucking sucks! :(
I've seen them twice in Boston - every time I've seen Dex he's been great, solo, duo or Flat Duo Jets.
I've seen them several times. Great two piece; I don't know where a bass would even fit in. Like Ryan said, Dex can get into a mood, especially when he's really drunk. One time Dex kept saying he was going to stop playing rock, just give up, and switch to jazz. If you're wondering whether to see them. Go, you will be blown away!
Saw them once a couple years ago for the Bloodshot Records anniversary show. Thought they were really good, especially once they got into their set & warmed up.
I've seen them twice. The first time Dex was in some kind of mood and got upset when people shouted out Flat Duo Jets songs. The second time they were much better but played a lot of slow songs. Who are they playing with?
I see they have tour dates, wondering if anyone has a review of the show.
A great band covering a great song!
Bwhahahahaha, I'm so zoned out when I watch TV, I didn't even get it was the EXPLOSION, hehe.
+++ "Have love..." was featured in a phone commercial here in Spring - everytime they sell lame product, they take rad music for it to get to you.
I love hearing those songs with commercials, it makes TV great for a change.
Hasil Adkins will always be #1!!! Lightning Beat Man will always be a close 2nd, but you can't beat Hasil. Lightning Beat Man could definitely pin him, but Hasil wins the rock n roll battle.
Hasil!
Theis tune is on a "Back To Front Vol.1" comp.
This live version is cool, if anyone haven't seen yet.
I highly recommend P.J. O'Connell's "Careful." One of my favorite discs of the past decade.
Well, thanks for that!
I have been loving that thing forever.

Here's a two part comp on Thai beat Music, I guess you guys already know:
Sorry, the only place I know is AMASCHMON digital download:
A brilliant compilation. Nice to see it getting renewed interest/coverage! (Thanks kopper.)
Saw this a couple years ago. It's absolutely fantastic.

In 1996, the Parallel World label released the LP "Cambodian Rocks", a collection of Cambodian psych and garage music from the 60s and early 70s (probably), compiled by an American tourist named Paul Wheeler from some cassettes he bought in Phnom Penh. No information on the songs was provided at all, no artist names, no song titles, and no recording dates. Four years later, Parallel World reissued this compilation on CD with a few extra tracks, but still without any identifying information. Unfortunately, it is more than likely that many of the featured musicians, showing a definite Western influence in their music, were murdered by the Khmer Rouge regime which took over power in 1975. Certainly none of them ever received any money from the sales of this compilation. However, the music is wonderful, and here it is for your enjoyment.

Great band. But never seen them as good live as the first couple times I saw them years ago.
That makes me feel better in that I have a copy of the Short History of Rock N' Roll Psychosis book instead of the Wild World book. But, at least you were able to score a cheap copy that is worth some dough on Amazon.
Nice shtuff!!
Yeah... I'm shallow like that :P
I don't recall exactly what record it was but it was Kopper's radio show in St. Louis that got me hooked on Garage Punk. Thanks Kopper! I used to catch the second hour of the show every week.
