    • Ifound this and am not sure if someone is playing a joke or if this is some legitimate 60s instrumental freakout... either way I'm really curious of the origin, does anyone recognize this music?

    • The Barbacans "God Save The Fuzz"

      My package from Boss Hoss Records arrived recently (in a pizza box no less). I'm really liking this one.

    • I'm glad you liked the Cynics:)

       

      LOL, that is so true.  Now that video probably haunts her because it's a painful reminder of when she was young and pretty and carefree.

      The Cynics were fine, I just didn't hang around very long because I had to follow my friends (they were my transportation back, so I had to stick with them).
      Yeah, the jukebox girl is for sure the best (the opening scene of the vid is the best part, I'm sure you'll agree)
      She's probably trying to put her kids through college and pay the mortgage and cable bill right now.

    • Glad to hear that you had a good time at the show:) 

       

      So why is your jury still out about the Cynics?  I'm just curious.

       

      As for the "One in a Million" video, my favorite girl was the one in the red dress who was shaking her ass in front of the jukebox at the beginning.  You can see her in the ice cream shop too.  I wonder what she's doing nowadays.

      I saw the Cynics show last night. Hentchmen and Sights totally rocked. I had never seen the Cynics before and am still trying to figure out what I think. I ended up walking down the block to the Blind Pig where That One Guy was playing. He is not Garagepunk, by any means, but he is one helluva unique musician.
      Anyway, Jim Diamond was the "DJ" and a bunch of other elder rockers were there (Scott Morgan and a few others, all the same people we always see at local rock shows like that).
      Regarding the Romantics: they resurface locally in Detroit at small clubs every couple of years for an "annual" reunion show or whatever. That was a bit before my time, but don't get me wrong: they had some cool tunes.
      I just watched the One In a Million vid. Yes, MTV heyday, indeed. Chock full of awesome 80s hair and cute 80s babes. Lotsa fun.

    • I liked, "As long as the drummer keeps the beat, the song can keep going."

    • Damn, NOW I know what I've done wrong all those years!

    • Ha ha that's hilarious!

      My favourite bit: "Write original music. Don't worry if you're recycling chord progressions from your favorite songs; there aren't that many chord progressions used in popular music anyway."

      How to Make Garage Music
      By Leif Martin, eHow Contributor

      Garage rock is a style of rock 'n' roll music originating in the 1960s and maintaining a level of cult or underground following over the last 50 years. Garage rock has had a resurgence in popularity due to the ease of recording and editing sound with inexpensive personal computers and software. Garage rock is generally characterized by this do-it-yourself attitude, low production values, and rough, raw sound. Additionally, most garage rock is structurally based on blues and sometimes resembles other genres like rockabilly, pop or punk.

      Difficulty: Moderate

      Instructions

      Things You'll Need

      • Guitar
      • Guitar Amp
      • Bass
      • Bass Amp
      • Various effects pedals
      • Instrument cables
      • Drumset
      • Mics and Amplification
      • Garage or Practice space

       

      1. Put your band together. Traditional rock bands have at least one guitarist, at least one drummer, and at least one bass player. However, with contemporary technology it's possible to start a band by yourself, using gear like a drum machine.
      2. Figure out your sound by mimicking your favorite bands. This establishes common influences of band members. Pick some garage standards to play like Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Sonics, and The Trashmen. "Nuggets," a compilation of 1960s garage rock singles put together by Lenny Kaye, is a great place to start.
      3. Write original music. Don't worry if you're recycling chord progressions from your favorite songs; there aren't that many chord progressions used in popular music anyway. Depending on the band's preference, songs can be improvised completely, or they can be composed communally or individually, written down and rehearsed.
      4. Start recording your original material. Contemporary recording is inexpensive and not difficult. Four-track recorders, small digital recorders and personal computers with audio editing software all make for easy home recording. Audio recording and editing software ranges from free to several hundred dollars. A USB audio interface may allow for easier recording and high quality.
      5. Play your music. Play shows wherever you can. Basements, warehouses and bars are traditional garage rock venues. You may also want to sell recordings or distribute them for free as tapes or CD's or on one of the several online distribution services.

    • Randy California of Spirit had a bunch of wimpy guitar scales. Maby it's the cause of his jazzy background.

      Good example the solo in dark eyed woman. great fucking guitarist...

    • Damn I'm not the surf expert as i thought. But this show is from the 90's and the sound reminds me of early man or astro-man? Could be them... :P
