i was doing a full cd design for myself but can share it with all the other punks here at the hideout if someone else want to print it and put it on a cd case...

but what do you think? each artist draw is own, or you think it's better to draw a generic back cover and change the tracklist and band contacts for each volume?...

if you need any help, i'm around here... :)

Yeah, I never really crossed that bridge, but you're right, it does make sense if someone wants to print it off for a homemade CD. But I'd hate to do this myself and add it to the artwork for each one... wouldn't want to step on any toes, ya know? Maybe the artists would be willing to do this...?

I was thinking...about the downloadable covers...They don't have a track listing? Or am I missing something? If not, maybe you could put them in landscape format, and have a track listing panel that hinges, so you could fold it over, stick it in a jewel case, and have the tracks on the inside? Just an idea, if you like it. Might have to adjust the borders before printing.

OK, now that the first volume is out of the way, I wanted to take care of some business for the rest of the volumes.

ALL bands who were picked for the first five volumes have been contacted. At least, I have *tried* to contact them via their email addresses associated with their Hideout accounts. I have yet to hear back from several:

PIRATO KETCHUP

THE WAISTCOATS

THE BEAT KILLERS

BOSS FIGHT

PLYMOUTH FURY

If you represent one of those bands, please CHECK YOUR EMAIL! And I mean your EMAIL, not your Hideout inbox. There should be a message there from me that asks for your permission to waive mechanical royalties and all that. You must reply to that email. If you know of someone from one of the above bands and know of some other way of getting in touch with them, let me (or them) know!

If you submitted a song but have not received an email from me, that means you didn't make the cut this time. THIS time. You still have a chance to make a future comp, however, your chances may improve if you submit a different song. Chances are if I didn't care for your track enough to include it on the initial volumes that I probably won't like it any more and include it on subsequent volumes. But that doesn't mean I may not like something else you submit. Just use the Soundcloud drop box and submit a different track... ya never know!

And, of course, any bands who missed out on the first five are welcome to submit songs for Vol. 6, too, including any bands who have joined the site recently. Good luck!

Oh, and "next" would be Vol. 6, since the first five are all pretty much done.

I know it has been mentioned in previous posts, but what is the deadline for the next comp submission?

 

thanks

LOL!  I did download it here, you KNOW my loyalty runs deep for this excellent site ha.  I just remember there was a list somewhere and then I got lazy and decided to write to the uber-punk rather than look for myself. Sheer punkass laziness.  Thank you!

Yes, the song list is included on the download page. About > Hideout Comps from the menu bar above... and if you didn't download it from there, I'd like to know where you DID download it that didn't include a track list!

There seems to be something wrong with my page. I can't sign out, leave garage punk to try again, change my profile theme, or find the compilation download. Every time I close the site, and then come back, I'm still signed in. So whatever you can do... I tried sending this through mail and chat, and it still will do nothing. Sorry to do this through a forum, but I can't post anywhere else.

Hey Guys! The Compilation is GREAT! Great Tunes, Great Bands...Just GREAT!

ROBBY RUSSELL from GARAGE-MANIA INVASION RADIO. Yes, we love thiS Collection and will play some cuts on my next few radio shows on www.wpmd.org. Bands , we would like to promote you guys , connect me at e-mail

Think you should put the cover artwork from the comps on the Garagepunk (spreadshirt) store, make a few more bucks for the Hideout.

There are quite a bunch of tasty tunes on here! Looking forward to the following volumes.

I just started listening. FUCK. YEAH.

I think one of the main (preventative) issues with doing vinyl is each band would want some, and we're talking about 22 bands on the first volume alone. If every band wanted five copies for themselves and then another ten to sell, that would be 15 x 22 = 330 copies right there. Then you'd need at least another couple hundred to sell via brick & mortar stores and mail order. So even a minimum of 500 pressing would be pretty costly, and would mean very little profit for whatever label decided to take this on. 500 copies will cost around $1,300 at United. That's roughly $2.60 each (cost). I guess you could sell the bands their copies at cost (some may not like this, though, and expect their copies for free), which means you *should* (if all the bands actually come through and pay for 15 copies each) make $858 back relatively soon, but then you'd have only 170 copies left over to sell or use as promo and try to make a little profit to make it worthwhile. Even if you sell all 170 for $10 each, that's only $1,258. And I'm not even including packaging costs, postage (including international shipping), and the time it would take to take orders, box them up, invoice them, send them out, track sales at stores, etc. It's more than I would want to take on (especially for multiple volumes), that's for sure.

This is the reality that all indie record labels face, obviously, but asking a label that had absolutely no hand in compiling the album to take all this on (and again, 5+ volumes' worth) is asking quite a lot!

Yeah man im deadly serious... I'll send you link after I upload some songs to mediafire! peace!

Hey There!

You should seriously consider saving up for a Rickenbacker. We 've got one and it sounds heavenly! And 80's -90's models don't go for too much, if you don't mind the higain pickups.

Touché kopper!

I just think people are way too worried if something is "punk" or not. Who fuckin' cares? Life's too short to worry about stupid shit like that. Just enjoy the music for what it is.

You forced me to check out the Barbarians TAMI show on youtube.  Moulty's antics then forced me to move the excursion to Spinal Tap's "give me some money".  Give Me Some Money made me realize there are no good live videos of Dukes of Hamburg available online.

Cool reviews.  And I agree with your criticism of "The TAMI Show."  I also did not like seeing Chuck Berry starting his classic "Maybelline," only to have Gerry and the Pacemakers finish it.  I always thought those guys were a third rate derivative of the Beatles.  That man deserves far better.  I did like the dancer who was behind Berry on the platform as he sang "Sweet Little 16."  I wonder if Berry got to bang her and the other dancers backstage?  I also wished the Barbarians could have played more than one song.  They were great to watch, because they looked so cartoonish.  Keith Richards looked like a 12-year-old back then, and while I still thing Mick Jagger is a great frontman, his moves looked kind of jerky compared to the ultra smooth Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, and he didn't even come close to James Brown's energy level.  I loved that comment about Brown never being sent to charm school.

The highlight is when Ronnie Spector joined them onstage for "96 Tears"
