How can you call yourself a garage rock fan and not like the Cynics and the Chesterfield Kings (If those are the bands you're referring to)? You can argue that a lot of the contemporary bands that Little Steven plays aren't "true" garage bands (According to however you define "garage"), but the Cynics and the Chesterfield Kings are, to my mind, as pure as it gets. It's like being a hardcore metal fan and not liking Black Sabbath. Isabella Gloria said:

bahahha! I must be absolutely abhorrent for butting in but I found this hilarious since I don't like either of those bands.. I wish you would've been arguing with me instead. Then I could be like 'wtffff they bloooowwww' [no offense to any fans of those bands; to each their own!]

Nobody invited you to the concert anyway. And if Little Steven is so out of touch, then that means you can't listen to anything he plays, including bands that you like. If you're a fan of the Chesterfield Kings, then you can't like them anymore because they're on his label. And you can't like the Cynics anymore either, since he liked them enough to play them on his radio show in the early days (Before he and Gregg had their school yard spat).

Maybe what Little Steven does is not pure enough for your liking, but he's still turned me onto a lot of bands that I like, and that is all that matters to me. Isabella Gloria said:

I haven't read the entire discussion, but after I saw that 'commercial' on renegade nation, I feel compelled to say that it seems like this Little Steven character represents everything I stand against. The only reason I was ever attracted to the name was because I saw a THEM cd sitting on a shelf of an Underground Garage display at Best Buy a few years ago. He's taking something pure and trying to package it and mass-market it and while I'm all in favor of educating kids about music or whatever he's doing with his "rock & roll high school" [original name, btw] joint, I wouldn't want a guy like him doing it. He's getting on talk shows and spewing drivel disguised [poorly] as passion. I'm starting to think that what all these guys are doing, and the crappy watered-down revival bands that tout themselves as "garage", is completely separate from anything real and from everything garage means to me and so many others. I don't care how awesome the website is when it finally is launched [if it hasn't been already].. it just doesn't seem real to me. [in fact it seems so straaange ;p ]

Blech. That's all I have to say.

Brown Sugar! Just because that guitar line combined with the stomping drums always gets me, so classic and full of melody and, and coolness and instantness! But as a kid it was always Doo Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker because of that chorus! Always stuck with me

Coming from very far away in rockland, I have to say every single song of the boys!:) ....even the wimpy period like the mid 80s:)....BUT my absolute faves are all their PSYCHEDELIC stuff from the HMR album:)......Citadel KOs me all the time :):)

dancing with mr. d- a little darker than most of their stuff- just is a great song- different!

HUUUMMM Imust play " I Wanna Be Your Man " on my show... Mole said:

"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!!!!

What about vampire bats & emerald rats, hang 10 surf & slaughtered smurfs, lysergic hallucinations & rock'n'roll profanations, retarded popcorns & tumultuous horns, pointless babbles & rubbin' in the stable, voluptuous slaves & endless caves, manic spookabilly, mystery erotica...

Unless you're a gentle she-creature or a kind & subtle lady of course. Thanks. ixnayray said:

I'm ashamed that I haven't seen that. Somehing came to my mind after you said that which is probably closer to my dancing style: Walter Matthau when he goes to a discotheque with Goldie Hawn in "The Cactus Flower."

You're also one in a million. Not too many people think like you. Isabella Gloria said:

I've watched every episode of Shindig, Hullabaloo and Hollywood A Go-Go that I could get my grimy little generation-Y hand on, and I'm a better dancer for it (;

Don't worry...my mom use to spell potato the same way. I don't understand why the plural adds an e which probably adds to the confusion.

This is a great discussion by the way. I was reading in my local paper (for Vashon, WA) that they cancelled the high school prom due to low ticket sales. Why low ticket sales? Because the school banned grinding, which isn't even dancing as far as I'm concerened. I can't understand how it is that kids can't learn real dancing, even Washington DC go go styles. I'm starting to think that watching Shindig and Hullabaloo should be a school requirement.

Kopper - That's either the British spelling or my s must have blown off. That usually happens after a night of draught ale and cauliflower cheese. I should have used spell cheque. Either way, colour me embarressed (rosy red with severe shame).

I like the scene in 'To Sir, With Love' when the teacher & student dance to the Mindbenders. A little cheesy, but fun (: DammitDave said:

Or what are the best movies with dance scenes?

60 days in jail for trespassing, 58 suspended - on probation for six months; had to get pardoned later in the '60s by Vermont's governor so they could hold jobs... didn't get back together because being underage, parents sent them off to college - this was '62 mind you, rock was still the devil's music! Mike reformed the Ravens immediately with new members - you can hear their one stab at rock n roll immortality on the above website's "Oobie Doobie Do," which was unreleased at the time (I found the master tape in 2004)... after he left, that band morphed into the Thunderbolts and did a nice Brit Invasion style 45 called "Heart So Cold" - recorded around the same time as the Beau Brummels first sides, although it wasn't released until mid-'65. The original Mike & The Ravens did get back together 45 years after their last 45 to record - don't shudder: Chuck Eddy of "Billboard" named their album to his Top 100 Albums list of 2008. You can hear last year's release, "No Place For Pretty," at www.myspace.com/miketheravensnow

Way cool! Yeah, I am curious to how long they were banged up... Why didnt' they just reform when they got out? Or was it one of those crass make an example john sinclair situations?

How long was their sentence? Assuming the stunt put the morality of youths in an 8 mile radius at risk.

Howlin' for My Darling and I'm a No-Count are my favorites. (: OH, and Move It has some good tracks too!

I dig their covers of Fogery, Wild Horses (Stones) and K. Richards:):)

Thought it over and I decided to go ahead and add them. I listened to a lot of the other casts and figured if they haven't got caught all these years, chances are I won't either. Thanks for all the help!

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.
