I'm glad people are hearing these recordings! "Hot Skillet Mama"! Sun Ra knew what's UP. He could play some mindvacuumingandexpanding intergalactic music.

alright, back to applying the english language to my work duties. ; P

How about Kill Tunes cuz while your show is noisy, it's not annoying.

All right, it's coming down to the wire and I think I'm going to go with Noise Annoys. I had considered using Ground Zero, which was the name of my very first punk rock radio show on KYMC in St. Louis back in 1984, but there's already a pretty well-known show by that name with a big following amongst the paranormal/political/conspiracy theorist-types, and the last thing I wanna do is cause any more confusion amongst that crowd!

+1 for Noise Annoys. I think Bad Vibes is pretty awesome as well.

Those are all good, but I think I prefer Noise Annoys & Kill City best, too. Here's a couple more to consider: Bad Vibes Trick Bag

Nope, not gonna pick any name with my name in it. It's bad enough I call my blog Kopper's Korner. LoveStruck said:

i use now and again but i prefer spotify. its got gonerfest, sympathy record comps, lots of leadbelly and heaps of other garage stuff http://www.last.fm/user/ma1kie

Has there ever been a garage punk comp of just solely Hey Joe covers? I know there was one for Louie Louie many years back. It s time to give this rockin' song justice! My vote for best cover goes to the Leaves with the Swamp Rats close 2nd. Whatya think?

I have to say-- that i don't think there has every been a discussion like this on the hideout... I am sure there are much more us hangin' out here.

Wow, there's quite a lot of stuff still to discover for me.

But does anyone know any recent metal bands that are cool? One of my favourites is Sunn O))), but they can hardly be called metal in the classic sense. Mastodon definitely rock, and if you want, the Melvins never made one bad record. I'm looking for more of the sound Mastodon are playing. Any suggestions? I guess my taste goes rather into the sludge direction, but I don't know the genre too well...

For some insight into this period check out this amazing doc "DEMON ANGEL" FREE on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZywctlIBLs&feature=PlayList&p=63C0FB3955A69EFB&playnext=1&index=28 Here's another 13th floor elevators doc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWyqIDV9yY There is some good info in it but its not very visually interesting and big chunks are just songs and trippy effects. You can skip to the meat in that one. Also "You're gonna miss me" 2005 you can watch streaming on Netflix, if you're in that exclusive club like me. It's really a mind blower. Roky trades the rights to "you're gonna miss me" the song for a milkshake! These poor kids were so taken advantage of, and their story is truly a tragic and important one. Thee Wild Wraith said:

I'm with Max. Roky and The Explosives Halloween! is a big favorite of mine.

I'd love to read about the 13th Floor Elevators period and I'm gonna pick this up for sure. But I hope somebody will write something about his later career at some point. I'm most interested in The Evil One era stuff.

I wish I could have afforded that box set that came out last year, and now I hear there are no new copies available. Love to get my hands on a copy of this book. Still haven't seen the documentary either.

I saw a documentary about Roky Erickson few years ago (directed by Keven McAlester). Paul Drummond appears in this film. Title is "You're Gonna Miss Me" (2005) and I think it's also highly recommended for Roky fans. Here is IMDB link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0791268/

great book! i learned so much about one of my favorite bands. and i agree about hearing more about Roky's early solo material.

Yeah, please add this stuff to Music Alley! Gracias.

Back in the 90's we were playing in Auckland. I hate that town, it sucks the big one big time. Anyway every time I go there shit happens. We were playing at the kings arms, at the time the only small venue available in the whole city. First thing the bar owner gives me their door list, about 30 names; which apparently was friends of the owner, staff and some press. Okay, I don't have an issue with staff (hell they might sell me booze) or press or even regulars but friends of the owner can pay. If you wanna see us play then pay; five bucks or fuck off was the mantra. Just before we're due to go on the guitarist breaks his output socket on his guitar. bugger. I find a screwdriver in my gig bag, have a look at it and decide to try to drunkenly fix it with gaffer (duct) tape... except I forgot to pack it. bugger. The drummer suggests we try to peel some of the old gaff off his drum kit and use that. Which we did. So some used old gaffer and a 10 gauge string later and his lead is hardwired into his guitar and works perfectly. We played the show no problems. The bar staff liked us and one of them started giving me cheap jugs of beer. Not a bad night in the end and we even made enough money to get back home, bonus!

This one luckily turned out as not so much being a nightmare gig, but it really started off as one.

One day, we were to support Los Peyotes here in my home town. Since I had a bad aching in my shoulder muscles, I was on heavy pain killers. When it was up to us doing our soundcheck, I plugged in my effects and guitar just to find nothing was working. So I checked this and checked that for a while and came to the conclusion that my cheap overdrive pedal was broken. I put it aside only to find my tremolo was also not working. I checked all cables again and again, and in the meantime the first people came in. I changed all cables, plugged in my guitar straight into the amp - it worked. So I asked the Peyotes if they'd borrow me their overdrive, what they did. I plugged it in - it didn't work. I thought, "Fuck, this can't be, why do I break everything I touch today?" I was sweating like hell, trembling from nervosity and the pain killers and was feeling more and more dizzy and embarrassed, close to fainting. I thought that that was that and we couldn't play for everything seemed to be broken.
Then, after half an hour of making shit and nearly giving it all up, I took a final look at the setting of my effects and stuff, only to find that I had mixed up "in" and "out" of my effects circuit the whole time, and had plugged my guitar into "out" and my amp into "in". I changed that, and everything worked. Needless to say everybody had a jolly good laugh about my stupidity, including myself.
In the end, it turned out to be one of the best evenings ever - with a delay of half an hour...

Thanks, good to see larry being heard in the press. Silky was the best

Yeah, it's weird. Tried adding the link again a couple of times but nothing showed up. Thanks for fixing it!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jul/15/label-love-in-the-red-r... I think there was just an extra "http://" in your link. Thanks!

your link still not working. I'd like to read about In the Red. Love that label
