Anyone that wants to meet up, let me know. I'm coming from from NYC and I'm not sure what to expect (from the city/people not bands)!!! Also, any after parties?

2720 Cherokee - never been there. I might be able to swing that. Thanks for the heads up, Ryan. Keep me in mind if there are other regional fests in the future that you're debating about. With a little forethought, I can get involved. This one snuck up on me since I was entangled with the Shanks tour/Gonerfest.

Hey Dave, KK/Shrines along w/ Gentlemen Jesse will be playing St. Louis Sunday night. Maybe you can catch them then?

I know several people who have lived in Lawrence and testify to it's coolness. I'd love to go to this but can't due to circumstances. I missed seeing the Lamps and Thee Oh Sees at Goner and would like to catch Tyvek and KK & the Shrines. I got the fever but I'm quarantined.

I agree with John http://steveterrell.blogspot.com/2010/08/terrells-tune-up-gunk-it-up.html

Check out "We Never Learn", I enjoyed it a lot . The timeline is 1988-2001, good bands, fast read.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good garage punk book?

Saw then open for X in Santa Fe a couple of years ago. They were great.

Oh YESSS!! I love them too!! Great stuff! :D

I discovered this cool band a few years ago and simply LOVE them...   I can't stop listening to their records. I think Rachel Nagy has a smokin' hot, super sexy voice! Who else digs this band?

F me: Avril Lavigne

F you: Exene Cervenka

F me: Katy Perry
F you: Joan Jett

Fu*k Me: Christina Aguilera

Fu*k You: Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre)

I once heard Chrissie Hynde say something in an interview that went a little like this:

"In rock music, as a woman artist...   it's not all about fu*k me...   it's all about fu*k you!"


I found this comment to be quite poignant and have had many discussions with friends regarding it. We have divided woman musicians into two distinct camps...   the fu*k me's...   and the fu*k you's. Obviously, Chrissie Hynde is in the fu*k you camp. A "musician" (and I use the term loosely) in the fu*k me camp would be someone like Britney Spears...  you know, one of those packaged singers put together by the industry. So, let's make a list here...  I will start:


Fu*k Me: Debbie Harry (Blondie)

Fu*k You: Rachel Nagy (Detroit Cobras)




I know Debbie Harry was not a packaged product...   and I love her band...   but I had a HUGE crush on her back in high school!

Here's a Kinks video from the Midnight Special (1974)... this rocks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_BGU4RdZGE

I liked the early Stones. My favorite is probably, "Get Off of My Cloud" "Gimme Shelter" and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" Pretty good too, tho, I have never really been a Stones Fan or even The Who for that matter. Played out.

Just to digress a little I've been told by a member of Derek's Accent that their music style was heavily based on The Who. Makes sense when you think about it!
