    • Yeah I really love Japan-english and Macaroni-english makes me laugh... OCEAN PALACE said:

      i like it when people sing with their own voice. I think most of the time it sounds a bit silly if a person starts putting on an accent.

    • Yes I like them very much though I prefer the firsts albums..especially in singles outtakes
      there was their best stuff for me.
      The one with that Slade cover "Cum on feel the noize" or "D'you know what I mean".
      Love their wall-of-guitar sound.there's a great work behind..
      I like Blur too,"Modern life is rubbish" is a great album.
      OK,this bands are sold to business but their music is not so far from Stones,Who,Small Faces and 60's..

    • im slightly ashamed to admit that i like oasis... every other big "rock star" band i reallly do fucking hate but there is something about oasis that i like. And i do realise this is the wrong place to discuss such a band,,, but i think they made some mint tunes.of course they made alot of shite as well but there are at least id say 15 tunes that i think are dead good. maybe its just cos im from manchester... the importance of being idle i proper dig that tune. they are pretty much the only massive mainstream band i like so please dont start saying "ooooo u tit" or anything. i cant help it oasis just sound good to me. the first album and some of their ealry b sides i reckon is their best stuff..... ANYBODY ELSE FEEL THE SAME OR DO YOU ALL HATE it?????

    • great stuff right!?!.....the forgiven part is so amazing....totally an anti-church reference. classic

    • This was their first mini Rock Opera. Kit Lambert pushed Pete into writing something other than a one-minute pop song and this was the result. You are forgiv-en!!!!!

    • Guitars:
      Gretsch 6119 Tennesee Rose, changed the guts out of it, pups etc.
      Tele - US Made late 90's model, probably my most used guitar currently.
      MIJ Strat - Don't seem to use this too much but you always need a strat + a fuzz face.
      Burns 12 String - Love this guitar. Jangles quite nicely , it also holds it's tune incredibly well.
      Maton EB Electric - Latest edition, a vintage 60's Australian built guitar. Does the garage tone quite well.

      Amps:
      Fender Twin Reverb 65RI
      Hot Rod 2x12 Deville
      Blues Junior

      I'm on the market for a Silvertone 1448, Vox AC30 & a Ep8 ( or there abouts ) Tiesco hollowbody. I'm thinking of offloading the Deville even though it's quite the amp. I see to alternate through pedals which I have way to many. These days I mostly use a Boss SD-1, Baja Bone Bender, MXR Line Driver & A Digitech Delay.

    • Yeah all of the songs are just perfect.Wasted,fix me,nervous and i've had it.What else do you need? Wingo said:

      I like Keith, but I think all of them were good in their own way. I'll never get enough of the nervous breakdown ep though.

    • Try to find their very first LP, We Are....The League it's the best one, all downhill after the first LP unfortunatly. You're probably the only 17 year old in the world that appreciates The League!!!! Giannis KRI said:

      I know man.I understand.I am still seventeen and i live in crete.There is no way i could have seen them,but for a period, after listening to so what,i was only listening the league.For about 6 months.And god damn it i only have very few singles 'cause they are hard to find.

      whatwave dave said:
      All kidding aside, it really was one of those shows that you just never forget...before i saw the Anti Nowhere League, didn't have a clue who they were...next day, playing the shit out of that LP!!! They sure blew away the UK Subs whom they were opening for that nite!!!

      It must have been a lifetime experience.

      It's FUCKING GENIUS!!!!!!

      Had me rolling on the floor and brought back a lotta memories!!! Saw these guys in 82 right around the time of this vid and they were exactly like that on stage!! Total hilarity and only time i ever saw people in the crowd gobbing at a band cause the band asked for it! And that was in boring London Ontario Canada....bring on some more Anti Nowhere League!!!

    • Awww shit, I miss the days of mixtapes! That's why I love the podcasts here, it's my new supply of mixtapes from a grip of people with impeccable taste! (Hell, I even have "rewind" to give a good song a second listen!)

      I play derby and I am on the road a lot with teammates, and have found that people are more receptive to the GPN podcasts or the contents of my ipod on road trips rather than parties. There is less distraction in the car and once people get into that "long drive mode" I think it makes them more receptive to new stuff. Especially if it has a theme.

      But no one has fallen all over themselves about it either. I was hooked from the first podcast I heard here. I was a lucky kid though, my dad has always been a big music nerd with great taste, so I grew up being exposed to new and crazy shit all the time and it totally broadened my taste. Otherwise who knows, I'd probably be listening to the Killers right now (retch!) I can't even imagine. That shit all sounds like commercials to me, makes me want to sleep!

      But yeah, I've mostly given up... but I do try to convert people who like a lot of the "precursor" stuff I listened to for years.

    • I know this will sound stupid, but because of Happy Days, I got introduced to Rock Around the Clock (yeah, I watched it when it first came on and that was the theme). Before that, I liked CCR, which as far as I'm concerned was the closest thing to rock and roll when it came to the mainstream. So it must have been that drum beat and guitar that got me to liking Bill Haley cuz except for CCR, I liked Nuthin'. Can you imagine trying to convert Kids to Bill Haley or Buddy Holly when KC and the Sunshine band were the Shit? I'm being sarcastic of course. I thought Buddy Holly was awesome and I was only 11. What's wrong with me? I didn't like the BEE GEES?

    • Oh I rave about it all the time to squares, to friends, to punks, to hipsters, to mod snobs who think RNR started with the Beatles... on and on.

      It's nice to see people look weird at you when you do the whack whack dance, throw your hands into the air like a spazz and spin yerself like crazy, when the more popular cuts like the Cramps, or the Phantom or Hasil come up. The indiekids all find it so snickery funny when they see you act "out of place." "Uncool" - you know it.

      It seems like this is musical wasteland here in these locales, people like to get smart about music. Tell them about 50's/60's Punk they go: "But... but... Punk as a recipent streak of music in intellectual understanding was developed and established in the 80's!" What do you say to that? DANCE AND GO WILD IS WHAT! FREAK RAT OUT! DO THE ALIGATOR! DO THE PIG! DO THE LOWDOWN DIRTY RAWK N ROLL HIPSHAKE! Be the best example that this sound is alive like a box full of cobras.

      Seriously, I keep smugging it into every party. People always go like: "This is so loud" I say: "Babay, this ain't Muse or the Killers." Seriously again, I saw people freak out to Bo Diddley so their whole workday was messed with. ROCK'N'ROLL destroyed their mind! ...and put it back together! You don't work the same way after it - and that's a good thing.

      Thanks for asking Michael!

    • you should have turned them on to that wicked motherfucker Haunted George-he rocks! trust me dude, I know the type. they'd never get it. Uncle Yah-Yah said:

      I worked at a place last year that had quite a large crowd of twenty-somethings. None of the people in this age group were interested in "music" at all. They were all into video games and new big budget Hollywood movies that were loaded with digital effects. I hung out by myself. They all thought that I was stuck-up but the fact of the matter is I didn't have anything to talk with them about outside of the jobs we were doing. When Michael Jackson died and I declared him "a baby-fucker", that was it. I went to being lower than snake shit.

      . i wonder who wrote all the songs for her?
      That's what some of the reviewers are implying. Not seriously, I don't think.

      I don't care about Courtney Love, and I don't know any other albums by Hole, but this one album is great.
      Yeah, Cyco, that's my story too, pretty much. I liked her in The People vs. Larry Flint. Other than the highlights of the Kurt days, that's about all I know about her. Except that she's, shall we say, emotionally unstable and given to outbursts and does (did?) very bad drugs. But yeah, the album is gorgeous, brutal, even heartrending. Maybe a little too lushly produced, but hey. It's convincing, sounds like the real thing to me. Art, not image, I guess I mean.

    • Back when Kurt Cobain was still alive, I bought Hole's "Live Through This", and I still think: The best album Nirvana never made. I don't care about Courtney Love, and I don't know any other albums by Hole, but this one album is great.

    • Last weekend, I got to listen to a copy of The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird LP in a record store, only knowing (and quite liking) them for the obvious "Surfin' Bird". I was surprised about how cheesy the rest of the record sounded, and I ended up buying The Fall.

      Does anybody else think that The Trashmen are hopelessly overrated?

      Cheers, Doc S.
