    • Thanks for the responses people. I actually have a few old issues of Rocktober and Ugly Things. I didn't even realize they were still going. I remember I had the Rocktober "History of Masked Rock n Roll" issue which was really cool.

      I'll check out the rest too. Thanks in advance to anybody else who adds something.

    • In a lot of ways its my favorite because of the open submission policy. If you send Jake something, he'll always consider it for publication. kopper said:

    • I'd 2nd the nod to MRR....lately they've been doing more current garagepunk stuff and also covering some of the 77 punk that seems to be getting a bit more interest lately with some of the original bands reuniting. On the present scene there's Mongrel Zine out of Vancouver: http://www.mongrelzine.ca/ But i might be kinda biased on this one as i write for it...LOL...they cover lots of garagepunk, cool art and the last 5 issues have also come with a really cool comp CD. There's also Lost In Tyme from Greece: http://www.myspace.com/lostintymefanzine Again, i might be biased as i write for this one too. This covers some 60's garage, lots of 80's garage and some current 60's style garage bands. Also comes with a really cool comp CD. And like Alex says above, Ugly Things and Shindig are DEFINITELY worth getting... There's a few others out there as well. and

    • Man, I really miss Horizontal Action. Noises From the Garage was great, too. Gearhead magazine is a pretty worthwhile read, esp. if you dig cars and punk/rock'n'roll. But yeah, get a subscription to Ugly Things. Mike Stax is a member of this network, actually, but I don't think he checks in very often. Too bad... it'd be great to have him contributing more.

    • In print, there's Ugly Things and Shindig. Ugly Things is by far the best. In fact, it's incredible. I do think that MRR has lots of entertaining reads that are non-music, and they do cover a decent amount of garage. They just had a cover story on Bad Sports and Ty segall.

      Online, I'd recommend Terminal Boredom, Garage Hangover, Nortonville, Kicksville66, The Houndblog, WFMU Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban, KBD Records.

    • Can anybody suggest some good ones?  I'm mainly interested in print, but online are also cool. 

       

      I don't mean stuff like MRR which seems more hardcore punk and political oriented. 

       

      Stuff that focuses on garage, garage-punk, surf etc. is what I want. 

       

      The best I've found so far are both from Greece.  Lost in Tyme and Rumble Skunk.  They are both great and have tons of content, but only seem to come out once or twice a year.

    • ... From the shittiest area of the UK, and broadcast in glorious STINK-O-RAMA, comes the WAY PAST COOL PODCAST hosted by that cuddly little lovebundle, Ixnayray. Playing all kinds of crappy Rock & Roll, Funkabilly, Surf, Poo-Wave, Rockabilly, Hip-Hop Twang, Garage, Shite-Wop, Jump Blues and whatever else I consider to be a complete waste of your precious time.

      Feel free do discuss my ineptitude... My monotone... Heck, do what you want...

    • I love me some Sundazed vinyl! Very high quality stuff...

    • July 2, 2010 9:25 AM CDT
    • Check out these great surf releases available on Sundazed Music (available in August).

      Click here.

      A thunderous batch of releases chronicling the big ’60s roar of West Coast surf ’n’ hot rod! Sundazed has given this groundbreaking music the royal treatment: meticulous mastering from the original analog tapes and pressed on high-definition vinyl. Sundazed continues to set and maintain the surf and hot rod reissue standard!

    • I've never seen any and I'd be very surprised if any existed at all. Photos from that time period are rare enough as it is. Filming bands back then (esp. live) rarely ever happened unless they happened to be on a TV variety/dance show and someone saved the footage.

    • First off, Hello. I'm new to the site & second off I was just wondering if anybody out there knows if there is any live Sonics footage from the 60's. I've found lots of reunion stuff on youtube, but I really want to see them in their prime.

    • You got it, brother! Its a weekly show called PDR, and they podcast it for ultra convenience. I'll post a link to it after the fact. IDON MINE said:

      OK, I'm half-containing myself... ONLY HALF!

      AWESOME! HELLA SWELL!
      Now, that streaming business is all fine and dandy BUT you fine guys just (PLEASE) GOT to record that as a downloadable podcast!
      You are right, I could just snap it off the net with a audio-recording device when it airs, but I will be away from the internets at that time this is on, most possibly, so... big sissy wheep if I won't get to hear that one!
