Burns? GOOD CALL!!!! I Have a Dano, which I like a lot, but I have tried a couple of Burns and they were great guitars....just a bit out of my price range......I am with Mole, but would add some of the bands on the Hideout comps....particularly The Ugly Beats on Vol.2.....

I just saw the Cynics play and that guy used an electric twelver on many songs.

Great Fookin' Geetar mate! I have one of those on my wish list, last I heard was that Burns wasn't gonna ship them to the US or other countries anymore.
Congratulations!

Byrds, Byrds and more Byrds. The Dovers, Roosters, Guilloteens - basically tons of Californian folk rock/garage, '65-'67.

I just ordered a 12 string electric guitar (Burns Double Six). What are some things I should listen to to rip off err.. I mean, for inspiration? The Searchers are high on the list. Maybe you know some cool things that I don't know or forgot about.

The cover of "Down the Road Apiece" is better than any other version I've ever heard.

I love the first 2 albums and have a really soft spot for them since my Mum used to dance around the house to them when I was but a small boy. When I left home I took those albums with me and the poor lady has never had them back...

Not so sure about that...I remember albums were $3, less on sale. That was about an hour's pay for your average crappy job, just like the cost of a CD or album DL is about an hour's pay for the same crappy job today. More or less. Singles were something like 60 cents. So I don't really think that was it. The filler, yeah, maybe. But I think it was a holdover from 78s, which had been the standard for decades. Plus, radio was a strong factor, they played the hits, that's what the singles were.
David Kitching said:
The reason singles were so important in the sixties was that LP's were so expensive. Another reason was the already mentioed filler tracks, I'd hear people saying how they'd bought an LP and there was a load of boring crap on it. And they wouldn't buy anything else by them.

my favorite song is mr. driver.

I am a huge Black Lips fan but their new album "Arabia Mountain" is probably my least favorite album since their debut self-titled album. It does have a few good songs but as a whole the album lacks soul. Every song was so generic and much more surfy then I had anticipated. Apparently they ran all the songs through a human skull for reverb which while psychedelic as fuck doesn't sound as cool as i expected it to. yes this album is better then alot of albums to come out in the last few years but it was a miss for me especially because the singles they have been putting out lately seemed so much heavier and more hectic. I expected every song on the album to be more like "The Best Napkin I Ever Had."

Here in Europe people are talking about Ty Segall like he's the new Jay Reatard. I think he's an interesting guy, some Sic Alps stuff is really cool, Epsilons (Ty with Charlie Moonheart) is very nice, his solo-output has some highlights. I LOVE the split lp he did with Black Time, and his T-Rex album on Goner is just amazing. This week I listened to his new album "Goodbye Bread", out on Drag City. I think it's THEE disappointment of 2011. What a waste of vinyl this is. It's just boring and nagging. What do you think?

Brian Auger for the Hammond groove.
Alan Price when he was with The Animals.I could listen to the solo in House Of The Rising Sun over and over.

Nicky Hopkins played on everything.
June 23, 2011 2:07 PM CDT
i like Vince Vincent (The Vice Barons)
THE APEMEN also had a good keyboardist

Billy Preston has the most soul, Rick Wright the best voicings & progressions one could argue.

Depending on how you count the Doors (not Garage, but psychedelic?), Manzarek could make a case as well, but no question that Rod is amazing.

What about the other one: Electronically Processed Mono, which will give a stereo effect on stereo equipment! I.E. I heard a stereo import of "Introducing the Beatles" and there's all extra reverb and shit. whereas the stereo version of the UK "please Please me" was- instruments to the left, vocals to the right. Which i think was basically taken from a 2-track recording type tape machine, (all they had at Abbey Road at the time). I love split stereo mixes though

Well, if you like zombies and garage, I recommended to you the new Los Magnificos video. They are the best mexican garage band right now.
