In absolutely no order whatsoever..

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.

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.

New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times is a new documentary,
presented by Scion A/V in association with VBS.tv, about the bands and
culture surrounding the international garage rock community. Artists
featured in the film include The Dirtbombs, Black Lips, Jay Reatard,
Jack Oblivian, Hunx & His Punx, Pierced Arrows, Thee Oh Sees, The
Clean, Girls, Goner Records, Human Eye, Vivian Girls, Smith Westerns, Ty
Segall, Davila 666, Golden Triangle, Magic Kids and many more.

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!

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?

You, mademoiselle, have impeccably good taste!

'No No No' isn't my favorite, but to each his own (; BFTG is a MUST MUST MUST have! All garage.. 'noisy and unpsychedelic'! Probably my favorite series. The volumes of the Quagmire series are bitchin' too, especially the first one. Also try some 'Psychedelic States' comps.. Alabama vol. 2 and Mississippi are the best I think! Morgan was right about the TS comps--a lot of the songs are just filler, but my favorite is vol. 4 ('I'm a No-Count!'). 'Get Lost #3' is real raw, but I don't think there are other volumes.. 'Lost Generation vol. 2' is the better of the installments. Trash Box is GREAT and if you ask me, the crappy quality is what MAKES it great. All the 'Garage Beat' volumes have some absolutely amazing songs, but most of them can be found on other comps. And of course, OF COURSE, 'Fort Worth Teen Scene' vols. 1, 2, and 3! And if we're talking about single-volume comps, 'Hang It Out To Dry!' is one of my absolute favorites ever, as well as 'Total Raunch'. 'Searchin' in the Wilderness' is a comp of faaar out European garage. 'Scum of the Earth' is one side of crazy garage and one side of crazy junk.. but it's all good save for a track or two :p Okay I'll try to contain myself from anything further & let other people answer (; but those are my favorites!

I agree The Clash is total energy integrity and sound completely diffrent form all the other Punk bands of the era.
