Kind of a different experience than hanging out with your favorite band but we played Otto's Shrunken Head on Fri. and we were the last of three bands so we did an extended set.  Near the end this guy comes up and asks if he can play something with us, so we just made up a bluesy type of song on the spot and freestyled some lyrics, people were dancing, it was a real cool time.  Anyway after the gig the drummer comes up and tells me, "Hey that was Frank Infante".  So, I thought that was pretty gnarly.  We talked with him out on the street for awhile and he was really cool.  The End.

How 'bout "I'm Allergic to Flowers" by Jefferson Handkerchief?!

A hilarious parody of hippies ;D

My baby is gentle and she's fine

She wears a button on her shoulder saying 'I'm a flower child'

That's a groovy thing to be

If she wasn't loving me

'Cause I start sneezing for hours..

I'm allergic to flooowweeerrrsss!!

Stuff like this is started by a fan that happens to have a job that lets them indulge in their own weirdness. I wonder how many "garage" punkers own those boxy cars--either way they put on free shows, pay bands (money/alcohol), and keep rock and roll alive. I especially like the part where the chick calls out the guy from the Black Lips for living in Chicago instead of ATL-- Edit that out!

I remember seeing two podcasts recently that featured lots of girl groups.  I was hoping to find out which podcasts they were.  anyone know?

Hasil is the god of one man bands.

I don't see how anybody can beat Hasil Adkins, but I also dig Joe Hill Louis and John Schooley & His One-Man Band.

dead elvis and his one man grave is a definitly a favorite but bloodshot bill is awesome too

i'm havin a real tough time here........hasil adkins for sure. besides him i think its a tie between bloodshot bill and dead elvis and his one man grave. whats yer thoughts?

Always was, is, and always shall be is a great record. Most of his other records are crap (especially his records from late 80s/early 90s).

Btw. If youre interested in the records with Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson backing him up I think they are called GG Allin and the Motor City Bad Boys.

GG's earliest recordings are actually quite good and many on this forum might actually enjoy them. As well as most of the Bay City Rollers songs...LOL..

 

Track down anything that was released on Orange Records...most of that stuff is late 70's punk/powerpop oriented and some of this actually features members of the MC5 backing him up. The LP Always Was, Is And Always Shall Be collects a lot of this material, but not easy to find....anything after that is pretty much predicatable GG Allin fodder for the kiddies.

I was a huge GG fan back in the day. Everyone is dead on about his older stuff being his best. I would agree that his acoustic is fairly good, Blood For You and Sitting in This Room are a couple of my faves. He does have alot of ppl that hate him and his music, but I don't think he would have it any other way.

Don't Talk To Me is a super fun tune!

Always Was, Is and Always Shall Be LP (1980) is indeed fantastic. There are a couple of other early 7" EPs that are worth hunting down, too. The S/T 7" on Orange Records from 1980 is one, GG Allin & The Scumfucs 7" on Blood Rec. (1982?) is another.

gettin' too good fer us, Pally?

Here's hopin' your just taking a break...

I emailed him about it two days ago. No reply. I have no idea what's going on.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for this to be a hoax and the hood to lift on it, with all of you in the know. Haha, now that would be a mean thing!

What? Well, this is news to me. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time, Michael!

Say it ain't so.

I like alot of Nirvana's music. I don't get into it as much these days but when i was in my early teens it was great cause here was a band that pissed of every kids parents. They sounded way more "dangerous" than Michael Jackson!

I don't believe kurt was murdered though. I think he felt like shit because most of the people who were buying his music were the people he disliked. Although there is a quote from him in his biography that says something like "i wanna be a famous rockstar and die young like Jimi Hendrix". So maybe he got his wish.

 

Like em or not they were the last band in commercial history to change the face of rock music. I just couldn't stand all those shitty copy cat grunge bands that came out years later like Nickelback and shit uuurrghh!

 

Is anyone into Ty Segall at all ?? I hear alot of Kurt Cobain influence in his music (and his dress sense too) But that kid does it right! If you like Nirvana Lady Strange you should get Ty Segall's album "Lemons" if you don't have it already of course :-)

 

Yeah I completely agree with what you're saying :) Although I still believe he was murdered. But hey that's just my opinion.//
Haha and yeah I know right; nickelback *insert barf noises*


Oh and thank-you for that. I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. I'll definitely give it a listen :)

YES! Desperate Hour is great! The recent Computer programmed episodes Alex shot out are totally swell.

I love the "The Desparate Hour," "the Big Enchilada," "Noise Annoys" but it's pleasant to listen at all of them!

cheers

Oh sure thing Mal! Yours and everyones work here is very appreciated, it wouldn't be the same in any way without it. I usually am a fan of each and every episode coming along, but as it is, some just stick with you and keep things extra crazy, right?

I just discovered "UGLY THINGS..." and heard you mention it on the show. Checked it out, it's a lot of fun and quite informative.

"OUT OF THE VAULTS..." is amazing, the GORIES and PENETRATORS shows come to mind!

Mal Thursday said:

Thanks, man. All of my fellow podcasters deliver the goods so it's hard to single out any one show, although I will say UGLY THINGS ON THE RADIO is a fine addition to the line-up. The OUT OF THE VAULTS, INTO YOUR EARS series has some great, great stuff on it if you've never checked it out.
