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?

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

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.

My favorite Ty project outside of his solo stuff is the Traditional Fools. I love his body of work though and think he's a genius. In some ways I do see parallels to Jay.

As to this record it does stray a tad from his "expected" sound ... leaning slightly away from the garagey thing and a bit towards a more indie sound.. but isn't a negative in this case. He's showing range.  

His evolution has been exciting to follow. I have no doubt he will continue to evolve and give us more.

 (On a side note: I do his hair!) 

I'll be there. Third year running. LOVE GONERFEST more then anything! And YAY Alarm Clocks .. old school Cleveland garage legends! And friends! ( I'm the hairstylist of Tom Fallon and his wife Eileen.) Can't wait!!

I have a Peavey JF-1, from what I can tell it's real close to the Buckingham. I like the guitar alot as does everyone else that plays it. Maybe you should get a silver metal flake finish for your strat, like the  silver Gretsch Billy Zoom plays. It would dress it up real nice.

thanks for the reply john. yeh, i saw a sf band called "moon duo" the other day, and i think he was playing an airline, and the tone was great! that said, i sold a very good strat(which i subsequently recuperated) in order to buy a peavey buckingham because it looked beautiful, and was designed by darrell higham the kick-ass rockabilly player(and guitarist and husband of imelda may). i even added duesenberg p90 pick-ups. a rockabilly-fanatic friend of mine loved the retro sound, but i found it difficult to play(lead at least), seriously lacking in sustain(noblesse oblige-the bigsby), and more importantly lacking the versatility of the strat....a type-cast guitar. i'm back with my strat. i dress her up in fishnet stockings and stilletto heels, but "the thrill is gone". she's reliable; she gets the job done. she knows how to moan. but she'll never be one of those cheap, trashy things.....to my eternal regret....but i love her....my strat....sigh!

Fender Strats ARE cool! I think sometimes we crave the "excitement" of getting a new guitar, its a cheap thrill, like getting um... a new pair of chuck taylors or something, i dont know. If your Strat works great than you have nothing to worry about. Dont trade it. Shit, you could save up money and get 2 guitars. heheh good topic.

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.

Sorry but I can't find a link to the original Fleshtones version.

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

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

One of my favorite bands from the 70s-80s, Billy Piranha and the Enemies (later just the Enemies), is one of the bands featured in the documentary. I tried contacting the director but haven't heard back from him. Anybody have it or seen it?

Best movie quote ever, at least I think it was "DOA".
"So, what do you do? As little as possible!!

Rikki Styxx Rocks!!!!! Thanks for the purty sparkle drum kit!

I'm going tooooo exploooode IVE HAD IT

oh yeah - we do -

we cover 'fix me' doing an extreme loud version and a jazzy freak version - started doing it when we bought the whole Chuck Biscuits hoax - funny and glad :)

Oh, how I love the Flag! Pre-Rollins is definitely my favorite era. I've got a black bars sticker on my car.

Just saw Mudhoney play here in Seattle last month, and they've taken to closing with a killer cover of Fix Me. They were playing at the Tractor Tavern, home to lots of roots music in Seattle, so Mark Arm closed their encore by commenting, "Now we're going to play some roots music from Lawndale, California..."

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 don't think it's a version (or cover) of either Chuck Berry's or Ray Charles' "Talkin' 'Bout You"... seems like a different song entirely. No idea who did it. Where is the song from? Did you record it live, or is it from a movie or something? It's not a very good recording!

Apologies for doing this so early, but this has been killing me for more than a year.

Seems to be a version of Talkin' 'bout you.

Thanks in advance

p.s. song is attached

I am officially closing off submissions for Vol. 6. Thanks to all the bands/musicians/labels here who have uploaded songs!

You might be wondering if there will be a Vol. 7... and that's a good question. I only received about a third the number of songs submitted for this round that I did for the first round. The reason I had to do five volumes last time was because there were so many great songs sent in. This time? Not so much. Definitely enough for one more volume (6), but doubtful for more. Bands can continue to upload tracks, though, so I'll take another look at what we've got left over later in the year (probably in November). So I'll set the next cut-off date for submissions for a possible Vol. 7 at Nov. 1, 2011.

Once again, if you haven't already joined, please send in your request to join the GRGPNK Records group here. As long as you're an active member of the site, we'll let you in. If you're not active, then it's time to get involved! ;)

Cheers!

Enjoy.

The Neanderthals, The Mummies, Go-Nuts and Los Straitjackets are 4 of my favourites

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

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

 

"Miss Pearl" - Jimmy Wages

"Hang Up" -  Fabulous Wailers

"Lordy Hoody" - Tommy Blake

I used to OWN this tape...lost it in a move or ten about 20 years back.

It was ok. If you love Pussy Galore, you will like it. If you don't, or were meh about them, then you would be meh about this collection. Which I was. True confession.
