It's a total grower I think, took me a few listens. Sure not as rocking as his other releases but awesome in it's own right. The production is spot on, especially guitar sound on the solos. I also don't see the compassion between Ty & Jay, other than the pretty broad "Garage" label  both brilliant but coming from a totally different place in my opinion.

Got his album but haven't had too much time to listen to it just yet. Got to see him play in Melbourne, Australia last night..was fucking amazing. Best show I've seen in ages...consisted of a few covers, old/new stuff & one really strange drunk heckler.

I live in Europe but I must say that actualy I never liked so much Jay Reatards. Yes he was also a prolific one-man guy, but totally different in many respects...

yep, i will stick to the "Melted" and "Lemon" albums, awesome. I fond "Goodbye Bread" less intense but good.

Boring and nagging? Dude, look in the mirror and rethink your style. Ty Segall is an awesome musician. Is there a contest going on that I don't know about to make each album better than the last? Does artisitc freedom mean anything to "rock critics"? I've heard most of the songs on "Goodbye Bread" and I like it a lot. Now, here's your sign Robdaswamp and here's half a peace sign with a smile.

Well, he lists, among his favorites, sublime, alkaline trio and squirrel nut zippers, so there ya go.

Thanks!  We'd be honored.  How does one go about submitting a song for the hideout comp series?  Also, which song did you like most?

kopper said:

Not bad! You guys should get busy and submit a song for the Hideout comp series.

Fun Guns said:

I think you might like our stuff.  It's more like the energetic stuff that Ty's known for.  I actually liked Goodbye Bread but it was definitely a change of pace.

I've had the album for a week now and this thread has pushed me to finally crack it open and give it a listen. My first thoughts are that while I don't think it's bad, I doubt I'll listen to it much. My Head Explodes is the highlight for me right now...

Update: Actually this shit is pretty good. It's all just slow in regards to tempo. It has a place in my record collection. It fits a certain mood for sure.

Fun Guns.. I love it. Thanks for the download! Now come play in Cleveland. :)

Just to prove my point a little further... I noticed this quote from Kopper regarding the Garage punk compilation series & whether or not there will be a volume 7...

kopper said:

I don't mind continuing the series, but the quality of the submissions has to remain consistently great. Many of the songs I got this time around weren't as good, and a few sounded like they were recorded at practice sessions or were just poorly mixed in general.

So, even here on the Garage Punk Hideout, recording quality matters. As I said before, if you do not record your band to sand as good as it possibly can sound, you are holding yourself back. Wondering if any of the people I butted heads with in this forum were amongst those whose submissions were rejected?

awesome. great stuff, mate.

Just heard this for the first time and love it:

 

High School Caesar - Reggie Perkins

Actually, there is no footage of that one, but you can see some other rockers. the band's name is Bop Kings and there are quite a few tunes up on youtube. hope you enjoy it. we head out for a tour in 2 weeks, if you live in colorado or texas. we'll be going to australia in september/october. just sayin... if you're into rockabilly, we play it the old school way (no drums).

I tried to find you cover on the YooToob, but no luck.  Is it uploaded anywhere? I'd like to hear it.

Casey Miller said:

excellent. my band actually covers that tommy blake song. i've heard it called "all night long."

Zorch Radio said:

Here's some stompin' singles that deserve a mention:

 

"Miss Pearl" - Jimmy Wages

"Hang Up" -  Fabulous Wailers

"Lordy Hoody" - Tommy Blake

dedicated to my friends who grew up in the 90's~ http://youtu.be/7AsId-qVIb4

I really, really like Tad, Malfunkshun, and Green River.  All incredibly underrated.

Icky Boyfriends!

doubtful. everyone and their mother wants to play at Gonerfest. It's booked by Eric & Zac and very planned out. 

There is sometime a night before show that is unoffically part of the fest.. not sure where that might be this year. Murphys? 

If you want to play at Gonerfest next year send your stuff to Eric in like February or March. They seem to receive a lot of that though. 

Good luck! :)

You should've asked the DJ. ;)

I know! I'm sorry about that. I recorded it with an mp3 player at a bar in Berlin called soulcat where they only play 60's vinyl, so at least there's a timeframe...

i spoke to the guitar tech at the guitarwolf gig in paris, and apparently seiji guitarwolf buys his guitars a few days before his concerts in local music stores, and he deliberately chooses the cheapest! (in his case epiphone sg copies). if it's good enough for the greatest rock'n'roller since link wray, it's good enough for me!

i agree it should have been in bands and musicians, but there you go!

Mardy Pune said:

haha great topic! Should be over in the Bands and Musicians group though.

I've got a '94 Japanese Fender Strat. 62 reissue something. Gutted the pickups out, dropped some decent ones in, gave it a setup and fucking rock n roll she goes!

I love it, it does everything I need it to. Every other guitar I look at is just a cheap whore as far as I'm concerned!

 

 

dear phil, what is cheap G.A.S. syndrome? is it an allergy to expensive guitars?

Phil holloway said:

Sorry,  but I totally disagree with the French chick and tears analogy.  Unless you mean tears of joy.

French chicks who love rock and roll can totally can rock and roll.

Bring it on!!!

But to each his own.

Cottenhead is brilliantly, bravely and honestly expressing something many of us feel and probably have debated about for years but would have never thought to admit to in writing.

Hi ,  My name is Phil and I suffer from cheap G.A.S.  syndrome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dear mr newton, sir. it wasn't a fantasy; i did have an affair with a french chick, and it did end in tears. most apt analogy. what do you recommend for transcendental erotic satisfaction when deprived of a guitar?

Dom Newton said:

I don't think your envy is beneficial to your piece of mind. Think of it like this. Your guitar is your steady girl, your old lady and you know ALL the right moves to squeeze all the joy out of her and make her wail beautifully. A new girl would be good for a while but you'd be going back along the road you've already travelled to get to the same destination.

It's a nice fantasy but like having an a affair with a French chick it would ultimately end in tears. Stick to your weapon of choice for transcendental musical and erotic satisfaction. Peace out, DomThe Raven

:) Last time I saw Link Wray (1997?) he was wielding a Yamaha, if I remember correctly... 

The Dark Rags said:

I think it's all up to the person playing the guitar. I bet Link Wray would look cool rocking an Ibanez.

Just went through my records and found out I have 45 albums released in 2010. I was "blown away" by many of 'em; Harlem, Jaill, Myelin Sheaths, Moonhearts, Os Haxixins, Outsiders (Dutch), Black Time and more. Now, half a year later, I must admit I hardly ever play any of 'em. It seems I'm a thrillseeker when it comes to music, always looking for a new ride. The exceptions are the Moonhearts, Davila 666 (12" on Rob's House Records) and a occasional Harlem or Jaill. Food for thought..... What are your thoughts on this?
