Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the 1980 punk documentary D.O.A. (directed by Lech Kowalski)? This was one of the first "punk movies" that I ever saw and left an early impression. I'd just love to have a copy of this, or hell, just watch it again.
Here's the IMdB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082226/
Thanks,

please listen to my tracks. we're crap, but original. here are a couple of opinions, and i quote:
"Out-of-sight. Did you ever see The Fall in their old 70's and 80's days?? There was such a raw realness to them before they morphed into being super melodic. Your duo is so real, it sounds like you're in a full band -- and to me, that is a mark of brilliance for a duo, 3-piece or even a 1 person act. Love the raw, low-fi sound. Reminds me so much about why I love listening to punk and other types of raw, old rock on vinyl instead of sanitized, clean cd's. I hope you stick with it and keep exploring your sound and material. Give me a shout if you guys get any releases we can scoop up -- I'd grab one even if it was on a cd :o) Great work."
"On chemine entre The Fall/du punk/Sonic Youth dans votre musique...ouais il y a quelque de The Fall dans la voix, donc ça le fait,moi j'aime plutot bien."
"Your sound is unique to you. I dig it."
i did not pay these people; but i will!

I've had so many run-ins with these types of "companies". Most recently I received an email from a guy who was "so excited to hear the songs" and "couldn't wait to get in touch" with me regarding the "money we could make". 5 minutes into the conversation he started to annoy me but I let him finish his pitch which ended in his asking for $475.00 to "get started". Huh? I told him that if he believed in what I do so sincerely he should get me work and take his fee out of the first payment we were sure to receive. It ended soon thereafter in a lot of cuss words and name-calling.
In short, the best rule of thumb is never pay to play, NO MATTER WHAT. I hope Bon has success in her dealings with Gorilla, and I'm sure she will with the support of her friends and the HIDEOUT.

Wheels....'Roadblock' for sure!!!!
Don't know The Emeralds, but great name for an Irish combo.
March 16, 2011 2:18 PM CDT
Oh, and The Wheels of course! Them's closest rivals apparently!
March 16, 2011 2:17 PM CDT
How bout 'King Lonely The Blue' by The Emeralds? Killer moody beat cut!!

Oh yeah... I wish I had seen them! All I know is a song called "Stay Away from Me" issued on a promo CD here in the UK, around 2004 I think. It KILLS! Criminally underrated, I'd say.

You really didn't miss too much. Like I said, I liked them, but I wasn't crazy about them. That's why I didn't find out until today that they had broken up back in 2008, because I really didn't miss them all that much.

Yeah, they were picked up by Capitol, and then they got dropped by Capitol after the release of their first LP.

I saw them several times while living in NYC back in 2000-2002. When the whole 'garage rock' explosion happened in 2001 they were going to be the next thing. I think they were picked up by Capitol or something. I liked that tune 'Stay Away From Me'. I saw them a few times with Andy G & The Roller Kings.....Now THEY were a great band!!

I first discovered them in May 2003 when they were sharing a bill with the Paybacks at Rosebud here in Pittsburgh (Rosebud is another defunct venue), and I liked them. A month or so later a song from their debut LP, "Bazooka," was named as a "Coolest Song" on Little Steven's show ("Which One of the Two of Us is Gonna Burn This House Down" was the track). I bought a copy of "Bazooka" shortly afterwards. I thought they were a good, solid band, if nothing exceptional. My favorite song from their debut was "I Don't Wanna Be Crazy," and I liked their cover of "Crime of the Century," a tune penned by Johnny Thunders and Wayne Kramer, which I suppose was from their short lived collaboration, Gang War. I saw them one more time here in Pittsburgh at the 31st Street Pub in December 2003, and the last time I saw them was at Little Steven's festival at Randall's Island. Personally, I thought they had the best stage outfits of that day (They even outglammed the New York Dolls). They also shared a local bill with one of my favorite local bands, the Science Fiction Idols, but I missed that gig. I was disappointed by their follow-up, "Dirty Bomb," because it just seemed to be a really weak recycling of their first LP. I just googled their name, and it turns out they broke up in 2008.
Anyway, I'm bringing this up because I'm listening to "Bazooka" at work, and I was just wondering if anyone else here liked them or ever saw them live.

just treat protools like a tape recorder..if you start doing loops, time correction and all that stuff, it will be an incredibly frustrating process and will end up sounding generic, which I don't think you want. I agree with everyone else who says play it all the way through!

I was just looking up making an old phone into a mic(so that i have a mic to use for distorted vocals) and it turns out alot of folks use these for harmonica mics. As easy to make as you can imagine if you can solder a wire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_09K8pcwNLY&NR=1

I only have that live comp with Stinky Toys on CD. I do actually have a Telephone LP, I don't think they've been mentioned yet. One of the most successful 70's French bands, but hey were a bit more mainstream new wave. It could be the album I have isn't the best tho. As for Stinky Toys stuff, I find that almost anything can be found on Soulseek if one is patient & persistent. Tho I probably shouldn't be advocating that.

I can burn dogs cd for stinky toys copy if interested.
Duke Of Earl said:
I found the Dogs cd used for like 8$. All the notes in the book are in french so maybe its hard to get over here. Id wanna get a StinkyToys cd too. Not easy to find though for a fair price. Im not interested in french hardcore just raw punk type stuff.

When I lived in France as a student about 10 years ago I was looking for 70's punk and found a live comp from '78 called "Rock D'ici A L'olympia: La Nuit Punk De L'olympia" with a few of the bands on that list. I think a lot of French stuff from that period leans more towards new wave, but some of the artists like Stinky Toys, Diesel and Bijou I remember being pretty cool. And I still gotta check out the Dogs. Anyway, I think you can get "Rock D'ici A L'olympia" here:
