Well I only listened the album once and I was .... petrified.
Now I'm a bit skeptical (I have to listen to it again) and I wonder: what about the live act ??
Did Mick Collins or someone else in the band say something about it ?
Eric.

Haha! You're absolutely right.

Geez, you know I love the Funk and I'm glad people do too. The stuff you named shows that. Just saying, it would turn those people off on a high rate that are purely into loud trash (therefor the percentage - it's not aimed at the world population or aware music listeners. Sorry if I didn't make that clear). :)
+ The Dirtbombs may be looked at by the younger Techno crowd outside Detroid for a second with this album and all it's remixes. But they won't cut into it and see it as a good thing, that would lead them to listen to other material by them. They will jump back to their David Guetta derivate and think it's the shit. Just my lame-ass prediction though...
Anyhow, I know I'm sticking my neck out with this and don't mean to compare, but why this interest me and why I give it the genral "OK" button, is because: I see this happening in a larger swap of work, along with Mr. Quintron, Hunx's earlier Gravy Train!!!! involvement and the SUICIDE/punk connection. Hell, even the later New Wave thing. Bear in mind, that's only my corner to come from though. "People" always hate that stuff when it's out - everyones got their personal likes, so what the hey.
Even Muddy Waters got shit for his Electric Mud back then and he just played the same cool stuff as always. But I'm drifting off... Finally, I'm happy these guys step out of their comfort zone, playing round with the form, should we dig it or not.

Tied in with that are the (Scion sponsored) techno remixes of Ditbombs songs that were announced two days ago. Here is the press release with links to free downloads:
The Dirtbombs, the venerable Detroit garage outfit formed by Mick Collins, will be the next entry in Scion A/V's ongoing remix series. While the project intitally seems at odds with The Dirtbombs' oft-traditional blend of garage, punk, and soul, the new album marks a stylistic departure for the band, paying homage to the diversity of their hometown with a collection of classic Detroit Techno covers. Scion A/V, long proponents of both the garage rock and Detroit techno scenes, are commemorating the effort by releasing an EP of techno remixes of The Dirtbombs' covers, along with a booklet of stories by Collins about his youth in Detroit, his first exposure to Detroit techno at parties in 1982, and, most surprisingly, his forays into making dance records before forming the massively influential garage band The Gories, which his name would soon become synonymous with.
Opening with the classic 1981 A Number of Names single "Sharevari", recontextualized through both theDirtbombs' and ubiquitous Detroit house DJ Omar S's filters. Then, handclaps and heavily delayed guitar lines signal the intro to techno collective Ectomorph's remix of the band's take on Knights of the Jaguar's classic 1999 single "Jaguar". The third and final remix, of Innerzone Orchestra's "Bug in the Bassbin", is a gritty facelift by Kyle Hall, the 19-year-old prodigy already being praised by the likes of XLR8R and many others as the new face of Detroit techno. Closing out the collection is the original Dirtbombs version of "Sharevari".
Scion A/V Remix: The Dirtbombs tracklisting:
1. Sharevari (Omar S Remix)
2. Jaguar (Ectomorph Remix)
3. Bug In The Bassbin (Kyle Hall Remix)
4. Sharevari (Original Dirtbombs Version)

It's not something I can listen to like regular rock n roll, but on my computer I have a bunch of acid jazz and electric violin instrumentals that don't go anywhere. They are boring to listen to for fun but sometimes if I'm doing something where I need concentration and a little bit less music then that kind of stuff is pretty cool. I can't be bothered to listen to a 6 minute song of repetitiveness because it goes nowhere but as far as background noise goes it's cool.
Would I be paying attention to it if I didn't know it was The Dirtbombs? Really I don't know jack shit about Garage music. I got into this whole thing last year when I joined the site and this might make a few folk cry but this might just be the first Dirtbombs song I heard!

The song posted above sounds like someone trying to learn guitar over a techno backbeat, at least at the beginning. Then later on it sounds like disco, then back to meandering guitar that goes nowhere. I find it quite tiresome and annoying. There's no ROLL to it. Like a continuous buildup but no climax. I mean, what's next? Hand claps? I usually try to listen to things a few times before giving any opinions, but in this case, I'm with Teenfink.
Also, consider this: Would you be paying ANY attention to this if you didn't know it was the Dirtbombs?

Haha, right, the fact that the Dirtbombs did it brings it up on my radar, there's nothing bad with that I think. Two scenarios apply:
A) I would not hear of it, if it was another band, cause I'm slow that way and would possilby pick it up years later when I come across it in a yard sale. Because: I like the connection of electronic beats and handmade beats and would check it out.
B) I'm basically open to that kind of experiment, be it a fail or a win, to speak in internet lingo. So, it would be on my radar anyhow, popularity enhancing it or not. Just a matter of finding it then :)
Go for the "weird" stuff (in whatever context), yes. I'm still waiting for Mick to go all Funk, like he said he would some time ago. Now that would be boring to 92% of ... hmmm, everyone.
Sounds stoopid to me.
A note to let garage rock podcasters know that most of The Brymers songs have been uploaded to Music Alley for podcast play. I believe there are over 60 tracks - many from the 60's. Feel free to use any of the songs.

Pat said:I'm a big fan of Guitar Wolf,
While i was on tour in japan, we went to see Guitar Wolf backstage before their show in tokyo on the first night there, we meet the Foo Fighters guys in the audience and make fun of Dave Grohl.
Days after that we went to restaurant with Seiji and the manager after an other Guitar wolf show ! nice chat about a french version of "Jet boy jet girl" and the manager went out completly drunk !
I watched on DVD but I'm in the UK, doesn't look like it's out in the US. They've got it on Ebay, but it's an import.
