Now if I could get that extra bass boost with an intact brightness from the mids along with that cardboard crunch I'd be happy.

I'm thinking you might actually save money by just getting a different cab. A 6x10 Silvertone cab is probably pretty rare. I built one for my 1484 out of pine from Lowes. I just stained the bare wood and put some polyurethane on it. I ordered a fender style grillcloth online. It looks pretty decent. I might put a picture up here sometime.

 

I used some 12" Eminence Legends because 1. I found them cheap on ebay and 2. supposedly they have a vintage Jensen/JBL vibe to them. I've never played through any vintage speakers so I couldn't tell you how they compare. They are very loud and clean. They don't really break much at all. They have good bass but are also pretty bright. They're just about right for the Silvertone as far as clean speakers go but are just a little too bright for my blackface Bassman head. They might continue to break in.  

I think I'm going to build another cab and try to find some lower powered speakers so I can get that cardboard box sound you're talking about. I may try some tens.

Mardy Pune,

It's sounding more and more complex to me. I thought it would be as easy as doing a little math, matching ohlms, and soldering. I have looked at the speakers. I actually had to solder the wire back on one because it came undone. The speakers are wired in parallel. No transformers on the speakers as far as I can tell. One output transformer to 3 speakers. I am wondering if I should just find a tech that knows old amps. I  don't want to get fried.

The Demics

The urinals

Vomit pigs

The Snivelling Shits - I Can't Come (except the track 1.)  I dommo if it's lesser knowm on the other country.

Yeah, thats a good one, people with eye patches are badass. I wonder if his girlfriend did that to him? Hey maybe youd be affected to if somebody stole your eye. I am a massageanist, I massage chicks only!

How about The Depressions self-titled LP from 1978 on Barn records?  Once you get past the affected misogyny & punk cliches it's not a bad record at all (ditto for The Vibrators).

I went and seen simply saucer in Detroit. They sounded like flying saucers. I liked em.

The Victims Real WIld Child LP is an ABSOLUTE KILLER LP!!! Total seering guitar leads, testosterone chocked vocals and some great songs!! Don't know why those guys aren't highly regarded in the NYC punk scene.

Heard that they've re-united and are out playing again.

 

Have you heard Cyborg's Revisited by Simply Saucer? It's 70's recordings that were never released...think Syd's Pink Floyd at their heaviest meet Velvet Underground with lots of bad drugs tossed about.

That Death record was pretty impressive. Yeah rare stuff, V.G. You are on the right track.

I've played guitar for 5-6 years, I've never taken lessons and it shows, I suck.  Just wondering if some of the more knowledgeable players could tell me about certain strings to try out. 

Cheers.

Very true, Gareth!  It's great that there's podcasts like the ones on here (Im not including me on this because I'm not all that great) that helps bring good music to our attention!  I didn't realize the situation was like that in the UK though, I figured it was pretty much a US problem...

Gareth Brown said:

It's the same here in the UK! The majority of music media here exists to push mainstream music. I suppose the situation is best explained by a tune called 'We Fuckin' Hate The NME' by Thee Headcoats (the NME being a very popular trend setting weekly music paper here in the UK).  I suppose there's been a moment for each of us where we've realised that we're just gonna have to search for the music we want to listen to.

It's sad, I live in such a shitty radio market, I didn't even know who the hell the Clash was until "Combat Rock" came out!  No friggin' lie!!!  Of course I dug it, but then I had to dig deeper and buy such classics as "London Calling" and their self-titled debut release!
Gareth Brown said:

Hi - i'm new to The Hideout... very much enjoying all of your responses... For me it was listening to 'London Calling' by The Clash that first got me interested in all things punk/garage/r'n'r related!

Just wondering if anyone any of you trashy artists/graphicy people out there would be interested in putting together a cover for the You Got Good Taste Lux Interior anniversary podcast show????

Appreciate any offers thanks Mr A

Yes Hi, Im here to sign up for man-groupie-gigolo duty. Have no fear ladies.

An all Canadian KBD LP, no shit! What bands are on there?

Dead Boy said:

I already don't remember well :D, and haven't heard many volumes, but X Blank X "You're Full Of Shit" on Vol. 9 is awesome! (better than the Electric Eels' version.)
http://www.kbdrecords.com/2008/06/10/x-xx-blank-x-st-7/
Vol. 9 also has Nothing-Uniformz, La Peste-Better Off Dead etc.
http://www.7inchpunk.com/?p=194
Vol. 5 has Nubs-Job.
http://www.kbdrecords.com/2006/09/03/nubs-job-7/
And Vol. 26 (Canada) was pretty good.
http://www.lipstickkillers.com/comphell/kbd26.html
So, I think Vol. 9 is worth getting!

5,7.5,8,9,10 are gooduns. I'd skip 6 though.

Its impossible to pick one EP and not feel weird about it.

BonzoB said:

I can never pick one in these discussions, so you'll have to bear with me! The Stooges - Sick of You and Gun Club - Death Party. The EP format was great for socially aware punk bands like The Clash and SLF both of whom released more than one EP at the normal price for a 45 single with one track either side. My two favourites offer a long song on one side with two shorter ones on the other.

Richard Berry isn't garage. Sure, he influence tons of garage over the years, but he was a soul/R&B artist and existed before the whole garage-band movement of the '60s. Plus, I dunno, man, lots of modern garage bands got soul, and I think you hear plenty of it if you know where to look. Take the Dirtbombs, the Greenhornes, the Reigning Sound, the Gentleman Callers, the BellRays, the Mystery Girls, the Oblivians, the Gories and the Creeps as examples. Too many songs by each of them with soul to pick faves, but I'll post links to a few below...

The Creeps - Down at the Nightclub

The Greenhornes - Nobody Loves You

The Come Ons - Mesmerizer

The BellRays - Blue Cirque

Oblivians - Feel All Right & Ride That Train

The Dirtbombs - Your Love Belongs Under a Rock

The Gentleman Callers - Don't, Don't, Don't

The Mystery Girls - Tossin' and Turnin'

I think great garage has got soul and this is where the bands of the 60's score over their modern counterparts.

What is your favourite garage tune with soul?

I've given this at least 10 seconds thought and the first band to spring to mind was The Music Machine but then I thought Richard Berry surely?

But is it only the garage covers of Louie Louie & Have Love Will Travel that makes me think of him as "soulful garage"?

Anyway, here's one for starters but what do you think?

Movie Star Junkies are awesome!  I saw them a year or so ago in St Louis.  A great show.  I don't know the monsters.  I'll have to check them out.

I realize that my original posting made it sound like I was only asking about oldsters but I'd like to hear about newer bands that are hot live acts, too.

Personal and the Pizzas "Raw Pie"

Brutal Knights "Blown 2 Completion"

Wounded Lion s/t

Thee Oh Sees "Warm Slime"

Black Angels "Phosphene Dream"

JC Satan "Sick of Love"

Black Jaspers s/t

Tyvek "Nothing Fits"

Nolan Strong tribute lp

Eddie Current Suppression Ring "Rush to Relax"

Pierced Arrows "Descending Shadows"

As far as 7 inchers go, those two Lamps 7" from earlier this year are winners...

Seeing Im the one who started this discussion...let me say...I called it the first Punk era so not to be confused with 80's wave or 90's to recent punk (which is hardly punk at all).

The explosion of 'music' from that 76-80 period was staggering, and is still held high today, and I knew we all had our faves from that era. Of course there was punk roots before 76'.  So maybe just the '76-80 Punk explosion' would be more appropriate. lol

I appreciate all the interest in this topic all the same.

Cheers, Andy

For now, I’m “helping” with the radio show.  I have no life to speak of really that would get in the way.  Maybe an occasional band outing and there’s talk of starting another local band but that’s about it.

I think the two options are very similar to a band doing a live show vs. a studio recording for an album release.  Live is more immediate and disposable.  Like a 3 minute rock and roll song that is meant to be entertaining and then gone.  Here today, gone tomorrow.  Live fast, love hard, die young, and leave a beautiful memory (to quote the great philosopher Faron Young).

As it is, the radio show is more spontaneous and organic with the two DJs playing off each other.  It has a tendency to take on a life of its own, which can be great or meh.

If I were to do a podcast (or to a somewhat lesser extent, a solo radio show), I’d want to make it better crafted, like a studio album.  That would take a lot of time and resources.  To be honest, there are so many great podcasts, I don’t know what I could do that would be in the same league.  I'll gladly assist with the show for the time being at least.
