    • Yeah, someone posted Cazumbi earlier in the post, what a KILLER collection that is! I played some tracks on Sonic Nightmares soon after. In fact I played quite a few tips on the show since the posts!

       

      @ Axel... Dátar and this song "Kling Klang" is very groovy!!

       

      Happy to see this thread revived. I've been listening to Brian Jones - presents the pipes of pan at jajouka. It's a record he compiled hoping to inspire the Rolling Stones, but we all know how that story ended up.

      I came across garage comp called Cazumbi - African 60's Garage. I was pleasantly surprised (and I'm from Africa!)

    • No problem - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Rwanda-billy? Sounds great - I want to hear some - I'm a fan of a lot of ..billy.

    • I never went either.  I never used to believe in regrets...  I went to my first Gonerfest this past year and I'm kicking myself for missing the earlier ones, especially since it's relatively close to me.  SXSW seems too overblown at this point but I'm sure there are plenty of great bands playing on the fringes.  I'm keeping my ear to the ground for stuff like Sleazefest.

    • Ha! The closest I would get to starting up something like that would be something locally, and it would just be a few punk bands around...I would have better luck in Norfolk, though...And that probably wouldn't be too hard...I do know enough people from such bands as the Strap Ons, the Villains, Trauma Dolls, Hydeouts, thee Apostles, Sleaze Stacks, and more... Hmmm....And if I was able to throw something together there, I would have plenty of help...And it wouldn't be that hard to get Larry May down, too...

    • Elvisfest? Haha!

      Never been to a Sleazefest, either. Although I know people here in St. Louis that went to a few. You should start it up again, Joey!

    • Well, not me, and that's why I'm starting this discussion! Over the weekend, I saw the Fleshtones at the Local 506, which is located in Chapel Hill, NC (for those that don't know)...This has also been the location of a now defunct music fest that was held there every year put on by Southern Culture On the Skids. Looking around the club, it's almost a little hard to believe that such a small place would be the site of such a killer event with such bands booked as Nashville Pussy, the Dirtbombs, the Greenhorns, the Paybacks, and many others as well as the Fleshtones...From my understanding, a drop in attendance plus the competition of other music fests (Heavy Rebel Weekend, Elvisfest, and others), forced it to die...Although there are rumors that it could come back, I haven't heard anything yet...And though it may sound silly, I've kinda become obsessive with the event itself and the cool stories I hear from folks that were able to attend it! So, if you have ever been, tell me your experiences (who did you see, what bands were you able to hang out with, what sucked, what rocked, etc.)!

    • After a long hiatus I've restarted my blog 'The Mystery Plane' (www.mysteryplane.blogspot.com).

      It's jam-packed with garage/surf/rock'n'roll and trash goodness!

       

      check it out (pretty please!)

    • I'm glad Die Wasted brought up the Biters. Great band! Other faves: The Decibels, The Blades, The (Paul Collins) Beat, The Records, & The Fabulous Poodles.

    • Agreed. Modern Living is my favourite and I like Price of Sex too. On the beach is ridiculously cheesy.

      I prefer extended play over No Regrets. The Cheesy synth intro on Modern Living... Awesome

      Just skimmed through previous posts so these may have been mentioned. The Shake Some Action compilations are great if you want to discover more. I'm loving SVT at the moment. Heart of Stone...loooove that song. I must say powerpop is very hit or miss with me.

    • The Radio Stars had some good ones, though I'm not a fan of everything they did.

    • Well, the Black Lips were influenced by hordes of bands that preceded them, dating back to the '60s with stuff like the Back From the Grave comps (Keggs stands out in my mind), not to mention Pebbles, Teenage Shutdown, etc., plus other bands like the Seeds, 13th Floor Elevators, Stooges, and probably '70s bands like Pagans, Gizmos, '80s stuff like (early) Dwarves, Germs, Cynics, and, of course, the Mummies. There've been quite a number of imitators in recent years that are pretty good, too.

    • Has anyone else heard the song "Not a Problem" by Black Lips?

      http://listen.grooveshark.com/s/Not+A+Problem+dtas+/2JIlIu?src=5

       

      great song in my opinion.

       

      Anyways, i started looking around for other songs like this - songs that has like the same sound that has the same sound as   'Not a Problem''s refrain, without any luck.

       

      Is there anyone else who likes theese types of song?

      Is there anyone who have any songs to recommend that has the same "style" as Not a Problem?

       

       

      Thanks yo!
