    • String the bass with flatwound strings. Set the EQ to be full and bassy. I have a GK 400RB which has a "String bass" setting. This works pretty good. Use of the left hand for fretting will need to be clear and deliberate while the right hand (Playing with FINGERS) is used to keep the time and slap. Your bassist will need to have good timing & strong hands to keep the tone from distorting though. It's not as easy as people think, but it's possible. I've played tons of Rockabilly gigs like this & I've pissed off a lot of "purists" lol.  I used to use a RI of a 51 P bass for this, but now I prefer a Jerry Jones Longhorn bass, which is basically a high end hand made version of a Danelectro longhorn.

      I was thinking of a lot of old country(specifically, Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two) when I first started thinking about foregoing a drummer, actually. I love a lot of that old thump and scratch, the vocals are right up my alley too. My issue is that my buddy that I want to draft on bass(hell of a writer with a great sense of rhythm) only plays electric and wouldn't really have the money or the space to go out and get an upright(plus a homicidal, giant cat that still has its claws and loves to scratch things). Trying to think how to get that thump and click on a P-bass.

    • Show #326: "The Eggman Collection #97"

      Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows called The Eggman Collection, which originally was an old tape/cd collection of songs that I like. Now since I have little time due to work and stuff, I made it into a radio program. It's a big mix of songs I like, no matter what they are, what genre, style, or era...whatever...If I like it, I play it. This provides a big potpourri of music from all sorts of different artists, and also brings out several guilty pleasures you wouldn't expect me to listen to. Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 97th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Chicago, The Kinks, Los Mac's, Tim Rose, Spirit, John Fahey, The Tremeloes, Love Sculpture, The Pretty Things, The Crystal Chandelier, The Factory, The Ides Of March, The Koala, The Canterbury Music Festival, Frijid Pink, Truth, Pink Floyd, The Zombies, Amon Duul II, Bee Gees, Klaus Schulze, and many many more!!!

    • Hey, it could be worse, ya know. They could've done the intro to Jersey Shore. ;)

    • May 20, 2011 11:44 AM CDT
    • ...and Dick Dale.  I used to get together with friends to watch it.  We'd turn the sound down on it and say rude things.

    • Nice one, maybe Glee will cover Nobunny. Or maybe not.

       

      Hey didn't The Cramps appear on 90210 years ago? 

    • May 19, 2011 3:47 PM CDT
    • p.s. party fevers a great record, haven't spun it in long time...

    • May 19, 2011 3:46 PM CDT
    • Kopper watches 90210!  I have proof.

    • Believe it or not, Tucson's finest made it onto the opening seconds of Beverly Hills 90210 the other night. Check out the first few seconds of their song "Teenage Timebomb":

    • Scrams get to open the show in Albuquerque. Wildly stoked about playing with some heroes.

    • May 19, 2011 2:24 PM CDT
    • It was maximum rock n' roll!

      Plus, my friends in Gorevette (featuring Detroit garage rock icons Nikki Corevette and Amy Gore of the Gore Gore Girls) did a great job opening the show.

    • I'm so mad at myself for missing their show on Sunday.

    • "Mr. Garager's Neighborhood" Haha! Great name. Why have I not heard of it before? Where can one find these "It Came From Canada" comps, too?

      But man, these new Hideout comps are the bomb so far. Haven't heard comps this good since the heyday of '90s garage.

      Quit looking at me Tommy, i'm getting paranoid...LOL...

       

      There were 5 volumes of It Came From Canada....then we put out (with OG Records)) Mr Garager's Neighbourhood, which some people group in with the It Came From Canada series as there is a little bit of overlap. 

      Tommy Careless said:

      It Came From Canada on OG Records, not sure how many there are 5 or 6  (I'm loooking at you Whatwave ! )

      Really cool Canadian stuff from the 80's. I bring 1 and 2 every time I DJ.

    • I'm sure there have been a few of these listed already, but I didn't have time to look through all 7 pages of posts...

      The Dwarves The Mentors
      DEVO
      The Residents
      The Mummies
      Bob Log III
      Lightning Beat-Man & The Never Heard Of 'Ems
      Tab Hunter
      Tape Man
      Thee Mysterious Asthmatic Avenger
      The Coyote Men
      Servotron
      The Apemen

      Here is a film we made in 1998 for the German TV show VIVA. It's a film we made featuring Lightning Beat-Man and The Never Heard Of 'Ems... Somewhere around 5 minutes into the film it gets pretty wacky and silly. Wearing masks sure can give a wimpy dude a helluva lot of confidence!!
