Haunted George, Beat Man, Bloodshot Bill, BBQ, can take or leave Cheap Time but Jeff Novak's omb stuff was great, Dead Elvis is a lot of fun, John Schooley of course, and where the hell is King Louie? Seems like ages since he put out anything.

I'm kinda partial to Bloodshot Bill as i've seen him many times. Another guy that i've seen a coupla times and really like is Scott H Biram who records on Bloodshot Records. And John Schooley too.

And we can't forget Reverend Beat Man!

There's so many cool one man bands out there right now..

yea! I saw him years ago-the show was billed as Doo Rag but it was just Bob.  I have some DR stuff-it's awesome!

I found this film interesting. I'm not saying I did like all the bands. But because of that film I got to know Thee Oh Sees( I live in middle of nowhere so all my connection to this scene is the internet don't jugde me..) Thee Oh Sees are awesome.. I had listened to The Gories while ago but after seeing them in the film it got them more interesting and Im really digging them know. I found this guy from Lollipoppe Shoppe cool. also props to black lips &ty segall.

But these guys forgot about The Horrors(usa) that's the dirtiest shamless rock n roll I ever fucking heard.

I am waiting for the NoBunny unmasked album , a companion piece to Kiss Unmasked.

It is for sure a "cute" song, but I gotta agree: it is one of the cooler/fun tunes I've heard around lately from a "new" band.

Yeah, sorry, I really don't hear it.  I don't even hear obnoxiousness.  Everything about it just seems too cute.

Hideout Admin said:

Seriously? This is one of the best songs I've heard in years. Catchy, trashy, slightly obnoxious... exactly what I love about garage rock:

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Art student rock...that's a good one.  I'm gonna use that to describe someone like No-Bunny.  Fun for some but I don't see what's so great about it.

Until today I had never heard of scion, nor would I have thought that it's a car brand. So I learned at least something from that documentary. Fred and Tody Cole are great as always, and thanks to the Spits there is  a 2nd good band included. Furthermore I got the impression that jay retard was a total idiot, just like the guy from the smith westeners and that what some people call garage I'd call art-student rock. But it could be worse: UK Garage Music

What passes for one.

Wait, you hear a melody?! 

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Oh my god, I think you're right.  It's the melody.

enzo said:

I listened to 19 seconds of it.  anybody else hear Randy Newman?  Not great.

That is all my 4 yo sings-- I want to strangle him sometimes, but then again he likes every thing I play for him

Dynamite - Taio Cruz. Seriously If hear this song one more time I will personally kill the person who puts it on.

Independent music needs to purge itself of Brown eyed, brown haired, slim women that sing like their are trying not to wake up the baby. They are a dime a dozen-- cute only lasts so long. I think Feist is due for a Lady gaga like transformation...

whatwave dave said:

That song on the commercial for Apple nano ipod (or something like that) which Feist sings that fucking 1 2 3 4 song.....that fucking drives me insane......

I still have a soft spot for KISS.  You have to keep in mind that I was in elementary school during their 70s heyday, and I loved their Marvel Comics image.  They were the first band that I ever got into.

Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I can easily understand why so many people hated them so much musically.  At their absolute best, they were just below mediocre.  They had a few moments of genius, but that was it.

Still, I love watching live clips of them on youtube, because they were fun, if nothing else.

I'm surprised you don't like "Hurdy Gurdy Man."  It's one of my favorite psychedelic songs.

THE 5TH DIMENSION "age of aquarius"

ZAGER AND EVANS "in the year 2525"

GERRY RAFFERTY "baker street"

WARREN ZEVON "werewolves of london"

PAUL MCCARTNEY "wonderful christmastime"

COMMODORES "brick house"

WILD CHERRY "play that funky music"

4 NON BLONDES "what's up"

PJ HARVEY "down by the water"

DONOVON "hurdy gurdy man"

Another vote for american pie.

I've Never Been to Me - Charlene. Personally I really wish she'd never been to a recording studio.

American Pie - Don McLean. If all was right with the world, he would have drove his Chevy to the levy, accelerated off the edge and then sunk to the bottom of some fathomless depth of water, where neither he nor his horrendous song would be heard again.

Where Do You Go to My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt. The song makes me vomit, and that's comment enough.

Old time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger
If I could turn back time - Cher
Allstar - Smashmouth

So, I'm in the beginning of cutting together a demo, and I've got everything else I need, but the one thing that I'm missing is a good harmonica microphone. Do you think a Shure SM58 would work, or should I look into a specialized mic? If I am going to use the SM58, do you have any suggestions for what to do to get a better sound? I've been playing around with it through a low-wattage bass amp that I have and it's not doing a whole hell of a lot(don't know if it's the mic, the cable, or the amp).
