I know this network is filled with more sounds than one brain can handle, thus there is a truckload of people providing all kinds of crazy PODCASTS for all kinds of minds to dig into! There's a lot going on, which makes it easy to miss a nugget or two, so...

I don't know if there is already a discussion profiling some of your favorite GARAGEPUNK PODCAST mindblowers, but I figured it would be cool to pool all the shows that have had a lasting impression on yourselfs, for people to pick out and dig thru and not lastly, give some extra applause to the folks dishing them out to us for NADA but the love of it!

You KNOW I dig it!

Here's Scott's page on the Hideout:

Enjoy every minute of life, folks. You never know when it's your turn to punch your ticket.

Holy shit. This is shocking. I never met the guy, but he was ALWAYS an avid supporter of all things garage-punk and, yes indeed, this very website and podcasts, as Mal and Heather said. Very sorry to hear this news. Just terrible.

Crushed,

Wow.

Sounds like being a podcaster is a pretty fuckin' thankless job.

Is that what it takes to get some recognition?

Just Die Off?

I'm sorry to see the kid go.

I know I dug the shit he threw.

Peace out , Mr. Kaiser.

I never posted any shit to him, rarely do I to any of them.

Not to say I didn't, or don't appreciate the hours on end that I listen.

He will be missed.

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

Hell, it's no secret even good things must join the local hunting grounds at some point, but normaly they don't draw their last breath with a series of BOOMS!

So when RADIOBLIVION went out into orbit one last time today, I already had some fun moments to think back at on this gemstone of TRASH!

What are you thinking? Will Michael Kaiser remain in the hall over at the MOJO WORKOUT punk rock knitting cirlce along with the other goons errrrr Kings of comedy?

OR will he return in triumph, once his alien life blood has filled up with enough spacerays to stand the terrible feats our atmosphere offers, for high energy Freakazoids like him and explode with a new format like Kopper and Ryan did? OR will the RADIO' be cast together a new from it's former parts, to bring better living thru discarded music once again in future aeons?? Will we live to see that???

Questions over questions, let's start with some momentary ones: Your fondest and funnest memories of this format??

If it'll help you get laid...

Sometimes I Wish I Was a Pretty Girl-R Hitchcock

Speedy Marie-Frank Black

Skulls-Misfits

Red Sails in the Sunset-Ray Sharpe

Nadine-Chuck Berry

Peach Poussay-Phantom Surfers

First Mrs. Jones-Porter Wagoner

Ida Red-Bob Wills

Send pics, dude.

Appreciate that!  VERY glad that folks are diggin' it!

A private Woggles show...damn, I know that was something you will never forget!  Oh, yeah, and I dug Coast To Coast AM too!

That reminds me of another time I saw the Woggles in portsmouth @ the Elvis room. All the Woggles were really cool guys to hang out with and friendly to talk too. at this particular show it was a weird night like a sunday and me and a couple friends had seen them play a great show in Maine the night before and they said if we weren't doing anything we should come to NH the next day and they would put us all on the list. Fuck yeah we went, and it was a good thing we did because there was maybe 2 or 3 other people there. Basically we had our own private Woggles show and they still gave it everything they had and we danced our asses off and they played every song we called out for. So we hung out with em all night and I took them to BullMoose Music, which is a great huge shop with lots of vinyl up the street. I remember Montague secretly buying an old Metallica tape which he confided to me that he was going to use to torture the other guys. I remember I had just found out about Coast to Coast with Art Bell and Montague was obsessed with it so we talked about that at length. Back in those days he carried these sheets with him that had every radio station in every state so he could listen every night on tour in the van. He was a great guitar player and great guy and he is missed.
The stories about walking in on people reminded me of a story they told me that night. They had stopped at a truck stop on tour so that they could take showers. There was a truckstop woman that apparently took a liking to one of the Woggles, if memory serves it was Dan Electro, and she hopped in the truck stop shower with him in an effort of seduction, and it took some persuading from him to get her to leave! Ah the hazards of the road!

i'd love to hear the stories about the mummies.

Erin - thats so cool you got to hang out with Jeff from the Dead Boys!

Which reminds me....I accidently walked in on him when he was changing in the band room of one place they were playing and he had only a shirt on.  Luckily his back was turned to me so I was able to back out of the room before he noticed I was there.

Manfred's one of the coolest guys I've ever met and am really honored to be his friend.  That was really awesome of him to do that.

I could probably go on all day with this one but the most appropriate story that comes to mind is when The Woggles came and played with the Brood (Maine Garage legends in their own right) in Portland. This was about 11 years ago and I was underage for the bar. I had seen the woggles rip it up previously at an all ages with SCOTS so I had emailed them and said it was a bummer i couldn't get in to the next show. I will never forget this and always love the Woggles for it. The Professor emailed me back and told me to meet him around the corner from the club and he'd get me in! And he did too, totally came through, met me around the corner and told the door guy i was his little brother! Way above and beyond the call of duty, and it was an epic show.

you are correct, jesco definitely likes to party ; )

joey fuckup said:

Oh wow, staying at Jeff's place!  That's awesome!  I would really like to knock a few beers back with 'ole Jesco; I bought the "Wild & Wonderful Whites" dvd, really enjoyed it, and felt like he was just a good country guy that likes to party!  Did you see the pre-party vids for the film's release with Johnny Knoxville on You Tube?  Would've been a blast!

one time i accidentally walked in on paul collins (the nerves/paul collins beat) changing into his pajama pants. boy was i red in the face.

 

i stayed at jeff magnum of the dead boys house. he put us up in his basement/rock'n'roll bunker, which was filled with his record collection and dead boys memorabilia (photos, original tour posters with the dead boys and damned, etc). he was a very gracious host! he has been a guest on my radio show several times.

 

i hung out in a basement with jesco white the dancing outlaw. jesco lifted up his shirt and showed me his tattoos (specifically elvis/manson on his back). then he squeezed his nipple and sang songs at me. he's something else.

If you haven't seen it yet, Jerry Springer once devoted an entire episode to GG Allin, and had him on the show.  It's absolutely incredible how crazy he really was:

Holy crap that's GG ? What ever happened to him ...thanks for the replies.

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.

Only saw GG once. Way late. Maybe early to mid 90's up in San Francisco. I wasn't impressed. Just watched him do his poo thing and chase people around the club. Musically, it was boring and pretty generic sounding. With that said, I do like the two singles I have - 'Gimme Some Head' & 'No Rules' which it seems alot of people I know don't like. There was a CD that came out around '99/2000 that had most of his early stuff on it. i really liked it but can't find it now. Anyone know what it was called?

I don't own that single, but didn't they have some tracks on the Hope & Anchor comp, or maybe the Live at the Vortex comp? I guess I should look.

Start with Archive From 1959.  It is a two disk (or record) collection with a good sampling of his different bands.  You can see which you like most and go from there.
