    • "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow?" - a glorious cacophony of compressed sound, hurtling along like a runaway train! Dig that gnarly wah-wah intro and Jagger's ultra-sardonic vocal. "I Wanna Be Your Man" probably a close second, probably the most chaotic, distorted track released in the UK at that point [late '63]. If THAT ain't punk rock, I don't know what is!!!!

    • No, that would be the least they could do (IF they want to go after you). The *worst* they could do is sue you for copyright infringement. Fashdad Ogrimlachek said:

      Thanks for the info. I figure the Monks and Sonics songs won't be that heavily protected. I guess the worst they would probably do is take it down.

    • You're from Macedonia, so the swine out there might or might not be too bothered by uploading as they are in other countries. In Germany uploading can lead to a shit load of trouble; and I'm talking about 1400 euro fines.

      I’m Mr A the Barber

      and welcome to vol. 24 of YOU GOT GOOD TASTE

      I guess most of you know how the show works by now, but for any listeners new to YOU GOT GOOD TASTE here's what it's all about.

      Each month after I've consumed a rich diet of cultural trash, you know the stuff I mean, I somehow feel the need to regurgitate it all into a mutant idea that becomes the theme for my podcast, then late at night in a fit of wild drunkenness I try to choose the trashiest of rock'n'roll tunes that I fink fits best into the THEME. Then like a sick joke it appears on the Garagepunk website for you to download as an mp3. It's that simple!

      So this month's show is no exception, based on an unhealthy infatuation with bikini clad babes and sea monsters!!! I've called this months themed mix wait for it, BIKINI BEACH MONSTERS!

      I hope you enjoy the workings of my mind!

    • '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!

    • The Pebbles trash box (though they sound like sh*t quality wise) have many gems that I don't think are comped anyplace else. Many comps have a few fantastic tracks and a lot of mediocre ones in my opinion. Like if you could take The Girls In The Garage or the Fuzz Flaykes & Shakes and narrow all the best songs down to just one CD you'd have an absolutely amazing and essential comp. Outside the ones you mentioned I rarely find one that has more than a few songs that are truly indispensable. The two glaring exceptions are Teenage Shutdown ~ The World Aint Round It's Square and Teenage Jangler Blowout. Those were the first two garage comps I ever bought and after listening to the rest of the TS series I realized that I had just by accident picked out the best two! IMHO

    • The Petty comp has The Morfomen! They were from Santa Fe. I know the leader, Dave Rarek.

    • It's a Killer LP!!! Really glad that Crypt was finally able to get it out!

    • ...that didn't know about the release of the second Revelators album?
      I was going through iTunes, looking for stuff, and I figured I'd take a shot at looking for We Told You Not To Cross Us... even though I have the CD. I found The Beguiled's Blue Dirge, so I knew there were some Crypt releases in the digital realm. I came across selections by a very different set of Revelators...and one album cover that caught my eye:


      I gave a quick listen to the first track, and I was floored. I hit Google for a search, and got the full story from John Schooley's MySpace blog.
      This is some pleasant news!

    • Punk rock!

    • 48 years ago tonight, three Ravens - Steve Blodgett, Brian Lyford and Peter Young - broke into the Stowe Community Church in Vermont, playing a rock n roll LP over the steeple PA... it could be heard 8 miles away... all three members went to jail, effectively breaking up the band...

       

      listen and download for free the 45s they'd recorded over the previous months at www.myspace.com/miketheravens

    • I assume you mean Buchanan and Goodman- Flying Saucers Part 1& 2

    • September 5, 2010 5:32 PM CDT
    • I know that I have this here somewhere among my thousands of records and CDs, but I can't really find it because I can't recall the title.


      It is, if I remember correctly, a spoof radio broadcast about an alien invasion and it uses samples of Elvis, the Platters, and Little Richard among others.

      I appreciate any help you can give me.

    • Hey friends.

      RadiOblivion has recently initiated a Re-Boot/Format Change. For a while now RadiOblivion has been heard LIVE every Wednesday night from 10-11pm, Eastern Time on Real Punk Radio, and that's been such a hoot that I've decided to podcast that show as the official RadiOblivion podcast.

      What that means is that if you're subscribed to RadiOblivion you'll receive the weekly show in your podcatcher of choice each week - barring any unforeseen technical difficulties such as forgetting to record the show.

      In other news, RadiOblivion is now heard every 1st Thursday of the month at 11pm, Pacific Time during the Zorch Radio show on KGRG 89.9 FM in the Seattle/Tacoma area of Washington state. Also, I, along with Gentleman Matt from the South Bay PORK podcast and a few others, host a live weekly roundtable/silly-fest called Mojo Workout every Friday night from 8-11pm, Eastern Time on Real Punk Radio.

      I'm always looking for hip-tips on bands. So if you have one, or a request n' such, go ahead and post here in this thread and we'll continue to Blow Yer Radio Up, Baby!!

    • Besides my usual 50 credits, this month includes 15 additional ones eMusic gave me as "loyal mebmer." eMusic caught a lot of flack last year when it changed their its pricing structure, but to their credit they've given us loyal members similar bonuses two or three times. So, thanks.

      * Varieties of Religious Experience: 1993-2003 by Arrington de Dionyso and the Old Time Relijun. While writing my recent review of The Movie Star Junkies' A Poison Tree, I started Googling around looking for rock bands that had covered William Blake poems. There I discovered "Tyger" by this band. I'll stand by my description that it sounds like Roy Orbison on angel dust.

      That was interesting enough for me to download the whole album. This is a fun little distillation of lots of classic avant, primitive rock. I hear Beefheart. I hear Ubu. I hear some Thinking Fellers. And there's a definite No-Wave influence here. Whoever's playing that sax owes James Chance some royalties.

      Old Time Relijun is a creature of K Records up in Olympia, Washington. So I'm probably hearing a little Twin Peaks mushroom madness in there too.

      * Fuck Me Stupid by The Raunch Hands. Yes, Eric Davidson's We Never Learn still is inspiring me to catch up on some of superstars of Gunk Punk that I somehow overlooked in their glory days.

      The Raunch Hands were a rootsy little outfit, playing hard-charging whacked out punk blues back in the '80s before many people were doing that.

      This 1995 release was the Raunch Hand's last album for Crypt Records. They were getting close to breaking up, but the group sounds like they were having the time of their lives recording it.

      My favorites here are "Baby Don't You Tear My Clothes," a hilarious rewrite of "Baby Let Me Follow You Down." "What's the Matter Now" is a soul workout with touches of crazed gospel energy. This might be what the Almighty Defenders were aiming at on their Punk gospel" album.

      *The Ding-Dongs. (My comments on this and the next album might look hauntingly familiar to loyal readers. I wrote about these a few weeks ago in my Terrell's Tuneup column.)

      Mark Sultan, aka BBQ, meets Bloodshot Bill for a rollicking half-hour of Canadian trash rockabilly. This is unabashed bashing fun. The sound is closer to what you’d hear on a Bloodshot Bill album than to King Khan & BBQ. It’s less scatological and more traditional rockabilly sounding.

      My one complaint is that Sultan’s amazing voice isn’t at full force here. He does channel Buddy Holly on the tune “Worried Man.” and does a respectable job on the countryish “Until I Die.” But nowhere does his voice really soar.


      * $ by Mark Sultan So if you want more Sultan, check out $, his latest solo album, which was released earlier this year. Not only will you hear more Sultan, you’ll get a greater diversity of sound.

      Compared with his previous solo album, The Sutanic Verses, $ is far more experimental. For instance the kick-off cut, “Icicles” is a 6-plus minute opus with a lengthy instrumental section marked by layers of fuzz guitars and faux Mideastern sounds . Is BBQ going prog rock? Naw, the album retains an admirable home-made, blues-slop appeal.
      Plus
      * 10 Tracks from Red Hot Rockabilly (the ones I didn't already have) I was listening to an old episode of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour the other day -- and came across a rockabilly song I hadn't noticed before: "Okie's in the Pokie" by Jimmy Patton. I had to have it! Doing a quick search on eMusic I found it on this collection of (mostly) obscurities. Also included here are Buck Owens' original version of "Hot Dog" (under the name "Corky Jones") and a bluesy shuffle called "Grits" by a wildcat named Harmonica Ray.

      * The 64 remaining tracks from Hillbilly Classics. This collection has to be my eMusic find of the year. It's a 73-song collection of mostly obscure country tunes from the '40s and '50s and it costs only 12 credits. I picked up nine songs last month, so these 64 tracks only cost me three credits.

      Several tunes on my latest podcast Hillbilly Pig Out -- "Give it To Me Daddy" by Hartman's Heartbreakers, "Nothin; Clickin' Chicken" by The Down Homers and "Who Puts the Cat Out When Papa's Out of Town" by Sam Nichols came from this collection. And I've been playing lots of it on The Santa Fe Opry in the past few weeks.

      There are a few well-known artists here. There's pre-Nashville Sound Chet Atkins (doing "Boogie Man Boogie"), The Carter Family, Spade Cooley and Tennessee Ernie Ford. But for every Delmore Brothers or Grandpa Jones, there's five or six like Roy Hogsed or Smoky Wood & The Woodchips. This almost is a secret history of country music. Truly, this is the music Nashville would like you to forget.

      * "Navajo" and "Wild Texas" by Los Peyotes. These are the two tracks I didn't already have on the Psychotic Reaction EP by South America's Los Peyotes. "Navajo" is an instrumental "surf" rocker in the tradition of "Apache," except it's got a flamenco (!) finale. "Wild Texas" is a cool fuzz 'n' Farfisa rocker Los Peyotes do so well. The band has a new album called Garaje o Muerte coming out at the end of the month.

      * "Ducken" by Hasil Adkins from 1950s Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly Rare Masters. Here's another cool bargain collection from eMusic -- 56 tracks for 12 credit. I had only one credit left, so I made a "down payment." I hope the rest of it's as fun as this Hasil track. He does a pretty good impersonation of a police siren here.
