In the continuation of a previous forum topic about Gazumbi - African 60's Garage, here's a new topic about Garage Rock bands who currently are covering rare Afro Rock tunes. Is the case with Mondo Topless with a cover of Nigeria Rock Special (Soundway Records). Maybe others I don't know? Check out below: Paris Djs link: Garage Rock cover of Nigeria Rock Special Garage Punk link: Gazumbi - African '60s Garage

G.I. is a great album but just because you don't like the Clash and the UK scene in general, you can't really believe that the Germs are more influential than the Clash. Heck, the Germs aren't even more influential than the Dead Kennedys. I personally don't even think they'd up there on a pedistal if it wasn't for their appearance in Decline of Western Civilization. But they were a great band. Zoe von Doll said:

Yeah well the Germs were more influential than the Clash.

I have to say the Germs are one of the most overrated bands EVER.

This is true evil...

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...

Hi all! I'm on last.fm with my singer-songwriter band SingSallySing (http://www.last.fm/music/SingSallySing) and have a band manager account. From that account I also made a page for the Cyco Sanchez Supergroup, but I can't get access to it anymore, can't find it in "repertoire" etc. Does anyone know what to do? Needless to say: I don't really know how to use last.fm... Cheers, Doc Sanchez

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

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:

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?

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.

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!
