You know that song that the Lyres and the Swingin' Neckbreakers did?  It was on the Sleazefest album.  Who wrote that/did it originally?  I'm doing a sequel to my "60 minutes of Shakin' Action" mix tape and that needs to go on there.

I've never been to Chicago or Austin, but San Francisco has a great garage scene. Home of The Mummies, The Phantom Surfers, The Flakes, The Trashwomen, The LaTeenos, The Teutonics (via Germany), Larry & the Angriest Generation, Supercharger, The Ogres, The Del Lames, The Swiss Family Skiers, C'mon Everybody, etc.

Don't move to LA. LA's non-existant scene sucks.

I think I might be moving to SF soon and this is honestly a big factor for me.

For some reason, I couldn't do it at the moment, and I don't know why.  Yes, I do know about the feature that allows you to correct your mistakes.

I can't seem to find anything at the moment, probably because the band has been defunct for a while.  There is another band out there who call themselves the Purrs.

I saw them years ago at the 31st Street Pub here in Pittsburgh, PA, and I liked them.  I bought their EP on Garage Pop Records, and while it had some good songs, I thought it sounded way to bassy.

BTW, I've been listening to stuff that I haven't touched in a while, so I will be asking these questions just out of curiosity.

About six months ago, I picked up an amp that I never knew existed and have been in love ever since. The amp is a Peavey Blues Classic from around 1990. This is pretty much the same as the Peavey Classic 50 from the time period but has a single 15" speaker in it, rather than the four 10" speakers. First of all, I only paid 200 for the amp. That price alone would make any tube amp sound good to me. On top of that, it has all the qualities of that great Fender sound but the fifteen inch speaker really beefs up things quite a bit. I would compare the tone to a cross between a late 50's Bassman and a Twin Reverb. This amp, combined with an Ibanez Tube screamer and the Boss FRF-1 reverb pedal, really gives me an amazing and dirty surf tone that I had long been searching for within my price range.

The Parents - "British Swingers"

They've been sending out individual tracks for anyone who asks to listen to, but the full-length has yet to be released. Amazing UK band, first heard them on Lord Muck's Nasty Grind podcast.

The Fleshtones' new album Brooklyn Sound Solution is out 3/15 and is streaming in-full now at Reverb Nation. http://www.reverbnation.com/thefleshtones?eid=3379077_18966063#!/artist/artist_songs/381323

Okay...I would probably include the SATAN'S RATS retrospective...If we include bands that were active in the late 70s, but did not record until early 80's, I would include THEE UNDERTAKERS too.

I see know reason not to include bands from the era who had lps of unreleased stuff come out afterwards especially groups who put out an ep or two back then.

I thought this was limited to bands that actually put out LPs in the 70s? If this includes posthumous LPs...I would say the CONTROLLERS "Another Sunny Day", but I'm partial....

You just love those dirty band names I can see.

Detect a pattern here? Last time they played in Canada was 1978 and i didn't go to see them as i wasn't a huge fan. Now that i'm older (but definitely not wiser) and a HUGE fan of The Groovies AND Roy and Cyril are out doing shows, i gotta see them!! A-Bones are the perfect back up bands as Mirian was the Prez of The Flamin' Groovies fanclub for many years.

I did get to see Magic Christian (Cyril's new combo) about 2 years ago and that just whet my appetite even more for a real Flamin' Groovies show!!

I'm with Howie. I do about 5 hours a week live on various shows and it gets podcasted after the fact. Of course, for the first 3 years of RadiOblivion, I did it strictly as a podcast. But, you know what they say: once you go live, there's no going back. Granted, I get about 99-point-something percent more listeners to the podcast versions (of all the shows), and I do agree with Kopper that you can't expect folks to alter their schedule for a radio show (we ain't all Howie Pyro. That cat can pull in the big numbers!), but I see it as a win-win situation.

So, just do both.

my show, INTOXICA,  is a live broadcast which relies totally on the chaos that that brings, and i record it and post it as a podcast...sometimes i get these morons complaining that it is edited bad or some such podcastian blather & i have to explain that THIS IS A REAL RADIO SHOW! not something put together in mommy's den...no offense to all the great podcasters out there!!! just the whiners..

I was introduced to the idea of 'garage' when I was one of those damn kids back during the whole revival thing in 2001; I was madly in love with the White Stripes' "White Blood Cells."

But, digging deeper, I can say I proudly own original presses of "Nuggets" and the Blues Magoos "Electric Comic Book" (named my blog after it, obviously) and "Basic Blues Magoos," which is an INCREDIBLE album, completely underrated and unfortunately forgotten.

Damn!  I wish my childhood could've been that cool!  Compared to yours, mine's kinda lame!

I grew up with records of the Seeds, Blue Cheer and Rolling Stones 45s in my house, so I was hooked at the age of 2 years old.

But it was sometime in 1980, Rodney On The Roq played "Are You Gonna Be There" by The Chocolate Watchband on KROQ during one of his L.A. hardcore sets, and I've been hooked ever since!

Pasted from e-mail:

I guess if you're already in love with the guitar, you could take lessons. But if I had taken lessons back then, I definitely wouldn't be playing anymore. Iwould have hated it as a metal addicted teen. But it's true, there are many things I want to play but can't. On the other hand, I learn stuff by trying to play along to songs I love and try to imitate those guys (recently I'm trying to figure out all this old blues stuff). So - no lessons, but progression anyway.

And thanks to you guys for the expertise, that's some things I'll consider next time I buy strings.

Cheers, Doc
