Yeah, I don't have that fancy stuff on my phone. Would you guys think there is a good chance that things won't be that crazy as far as attendance is concerned? I don't know shit about Kansas, but I have pre-conceived notions hahaha. kopper said:

Well, I have Twitter, but I don't have any kind of data plan on my phone (it's an older one... a dumbphone) so I won't be using text messages or Twitter that day. I'll be with Ryan Katastrophe and one other friend, though, and Ryan might. I'll have to ask him. He uses Twitter, too, but I don't think he's ever tweeted from his phone, either.

That's why we need a plan to communicate. Well, you can see the granada and the jackpot from one another so you would know if one has a line and the other doesn't. This is the one time where I hope a small town draws a small town crowd. Still excited though, and the not starting on time could benefit us. kopper said:

Good question... no idea.

Heh. Anyone else feel like you're going into this not knowing exactly WHAT to expect? Recordgrooves said:

You're right.

But that is just wishful drunk thinking on my part. So how many tix were given out to this anyways?

That's not gonna work, man.

Hello there! Is this the one you're talking about?

can anyone tell me what song that dude uses as the intro song for his podcast?  i have no  idea what it is.

H R

Chuck Biscuits
Klaus Flouride
Cheetah Chrome
Johnny Thunders
Sid Vicious (classic!)
Poison Ivy
Iggy Pop (of course!)
Yeah there's heaps of good ones

To each his own. They're both legends in their own right. Kinks are however the most rockinest and I do love. .em to deth!

I adore "Sunny Afternoon"...but "Picture Book" also, and "Where all the good times gone"...I can't decide!

Sorry man, I didn't mean to be insulting or anything but I still get the heebie jeebies when I remember David Lee Roth doing his trademark "waaahh" during their version of "You Really Got Me". And I didn't know they had covered "Where Have All The Good Times Gone"...maybe they had a copy of "Pinups" and thought it was a David Bowie song! The Kinks were my favorite band when I was a little boy...those crunching bar chords and killer hooks in the choruses! I didn't get into the "middle period" until the 80's when I listened to "KINKS KRONIKLES" and the songs really hit home...really deeply! ratoonie said:

The Kinks lyrics tell great stories and portray solid characters. Evocative imagery and all to great toons.

How about this one........................ All day and all the night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnfU9VGo3w&feature=related

SET ME FREE kills me all the time :):)

Yes!!!! Kinks rock!! OK, you've heard it a thousand times, but imagine how groundbreaking that guitar on You Really Got Me And All Day And All Of The Night sounded in '64!!! Surely the NASTIEST sounding UK records at that time? Personal fave tho, is See My Friends, wotta spangly raga-infused gem...simply beautiful, closely followed by Waterloo Sunset most likely.. I think they're one of those bands much like the Stones that made a whole string of KILLER singles, but I find their early albums a little patchy...

Hello there! Most of it is worth having but we have a recent 2CD/3LP career overview available :- http://damagedgoods.greedbag.com/buy/archive-from-1959-the-billy-chil-3/ Personally I've always digged this album but hey that's just me - http://damagedgoods.greedbag.com/buy/medway-wheelers-1/ Damaged Duncan

Billy Childish has written some sort of unfathomable amount of killer songs. He's amazingly prolific, and while I can't say I love every single record but I'd say about 85% is killer. One of my favorites will always be"Wiley Coyote" because we used to close Quasi-men sets with it and it was a crowd pleaser and my drummer could do one hell of a childish voice. Where I think Childish really excells is his honesty that he puts into his songs even when it's contradictory. A very personal example would be the awesome song "The day I beat my father up"

My favorite bands of his are Thee Mighty Ceasers, The headcoats / headcoatees / and the buff Medways.
For somebody getting in to him I would strongly suggest the Elementary headcoats record

heres a few other songs of his I love

You make me Die
Double Ax (famously covered by The Mummies)
Come Into My Mouth (headcoatees covered nicely by the smears on there in the garage lp for Dionysus)
I wasn't made for this world
I Don't Like The Man I Am

and if course the best song title in his catalog

I've been fucking your daughters and pissing on your lawn

Wow those are super cheap! I've installed the GFS pickups from them before and they were really amazing for the price. Otto Parts said:

Has anybody checked these out or know someone who owns one? They look great and CHEAP ($$$$$)!

If you liked the way it feld when playing it(and you got the money), get it. The sound you could always work on with changing pick-ups, the amp, the pedals. I play an 80s Squire Stratocaster and a Charvel Surfcaster and now with my 7th Fuzz-box I finally found the sound I was looking for. But anyway, good topic! I want a new guitar too and can't really afford a Dusenberg or Jazzmaster so advises and tips on cheaper brands(that still look cool, of course) are very welcome.

The only reason the nut would have made the guitar hard to tune would be the width of the slots in the nut. The strings can catch there if the slots are to small or a too roughly cut. A pretty easy fix for a tech. Doc Sanchez said:

Hey all,

thanks for your answers. I recently had the chance to play a Dano Dead on 67, and it sounded quite like I need it (with a similar equipment as mine). The guy in the guitar store told me, he had to exchange the aluminum nut with one made of steel, for the aluminum nut made the guitar hard to tune. Do you know anything about that? I'd have bought the one that I played, but I was pretty broke that time.

I also tried a reissue of the Höfner Galaxie (http://secure.musicworldbrilon.de/images/product_images/popup_image...), which had a beautiful warm tone, but it didn't sound as trashy as I liked it to. But it looks superb, felt good to play on, and the sound is good. And it's cheaper than the Dano. What do you guys think?

Guess I'm lucky that I'm still broke, so I don't have to think about buying a guitar yet...

I just watched this and it is really good. It's the story of some guys doing what they love, of perseverance, and ultimately, of survivors. It's only a little over an hour long and it's worth your time, especially to the older folks born before 1980. The Fleshtones are, simply put, one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever. I used to to go see the Fleshtones a lot in the late 70's/early 80's and they NEVER put on a mediocre or even merely good show...they always went full throttle and they were always great or better than great. It never took more than 2 or 3 songs until they got everybody dancin', even the most ultra-cool hipsters. and the dancin' didn't stop until the plug got pulled. A sweeter, funnier, intelligent and articulate bunch of guys you couldn't hope to find. There is no other band (as it says in the movie) that played at CBGB's in 1976 and are still together and still playing today without any interruption in between, and that's saying something. Thanks so much for posting this link!!
