I just wanna know what kind of person would pay $100 for a Vivian Girls record. You could give me one for free and I'd still think I'd been ripped off.

I think Scion's approach to marketing is really well thought out. They also work with Juxtapoz magazine, it gives their product a real smart street credential. I'm on my second Scion XB, great car, the seats fold down and I can fit all my bands equipment in it. The headroom is awesome, I'm 6' 2" and I still have another 6 inches before I hit the roof. When you buy a Scion you don't negotiate the price, they are already set, so you don't have to go to other dealers to find a better price. Interest rates are the only thing you might be able to pit dealers against each other with, but I think it's all based on your credit score. Anyway, I like the fact that Scion is so involved with garage rock, you just don't see a lot big companies doing something like this.

Thanks for posting, very entertaining.

Scion and Vice are really helping to inject some life into this scene/culture. I just wish I'd see more of it in my own hometown.

It's being played in three parts on consecutive days, third part's available tomorrow, then the whole thing will play on thursday.

Great. Where's part 3!?

I'm halfway through part 1 right now, it's really fucking good.

Click on the VIDEO tab to watch. Pretty cool!

Try a ProCo Rat. They have a really dirty sound, but notes ring through nice.

my fault - billy childish (a bit of a bummer) just kids - patti smith faithfull - marianne faithfull be my baby: how i survived mascara, miniskirts, and madness, or my life as a fabulous ronette - ronnie spector ALSO! free online kicksville66 - miriam linna (original drummer for the cramps) @ http://kicksville66.blogspot.com/ i also like the writing of julian cope!

I went to the Bach site, looks cool, Europe has so many choices for low end guitars. I read Guitarist magazine from England, it's the best guitar mag out there, the ads for guitars only available overseas are great, cool designs and low prices. Most stuff in the US has a metal look to them, if you walk into Guitar Center you see rows of pointy strat like guitars, I wish someone would import Fret King over here. Ersk A. Loisque said:

I'm always looking for the cheapest (yet decent) alternative around. My main axe for garage rock is a telecaster by the brand Bach (http://www.bachmusik.com/en/) and I think it does the job just as good as a mexican fender. But then I've done some sweet mods to it: Seymour Duncan Little '59 in the bridge position, tonerider hot classic in the neck position (go buy toneriders, they sound REALLY good! I used to have a hot classic in the bridge as well but I got tired of the single coil hum, I'm more of a bucker guy), locking tuners and a Bigsby B50. Mahogany body and maple neck. Our lead guitarist (who usually plays an american tele) borrowed it for a rehearsal once and his guitar sound became way more distinctive with my guitar. It may not have the feel of a fender or gibby, but price wise - It's the deal!

See?That's what i 'm talkin about.

Or this one:


I mean, he nails it, but I wouldn't be able to play any proper rock n roll song on a guitar with a floyd rose.. It's just plain wrong!

The Ashbass Fuzzrite is the only one I've heard of from that list and it's a great pedal.

Yep, i remember that group....

There was also groups for selling records...sold a bunch of records that way. Long before ebay started.

Just curious if anyone here ever used this old usenet newsgroup. When I first got a computer and had access to the Internet in the spring of 1994, this was the place to go for garage (and related punk/rock'n'roll, noise, & trash) discussions, at least outside of AOL, which at that time was like the Facebook of the Web. AOL had what they called discussion folders (I think), and I remember setting up a couple... like The Green Door and Primitive Garage Rock'n'Roll. It was somewhere around this time that I also discovered the late, great Bomp List.

Ah, the old days... haha.

Gang, I've been learning the guitar for say, 6 months self-taught. Last two week I'd been practicing triad chords like hell. I decided to put them into a love song of mine that I wrote specifically for real chords. And you know what? It just didn't sound right. It didn't send out the right message I wanted to send out.

So what now? Should I continue learning real chords or stick to something I'm much better at, power chords? Also, with punk/garage/rock and roll, what do you think is the triad chord/power chord ratio being used?
