    • 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.

      The song IS funny but I don't think it's ridiculous. Maybe it's ridiculous to think that's autobigraphical or something. I noticed while listening to the song that Metallica did a version so I had to hear that. Makes Metallica sound like the Mono Men for a sec there.

    • HAHHA, it is Wire; it's a recording of 12XU, or "12 Times You," which is I guess what the recording is called. The B side is an awful techno mix of the song.

    • You're gonna have to write the hosts. Google is of no help at all. They listed Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and a group called Serious Drinking and some guy named Shihad. But none of them match what you're looking for.

    • Just looking for new ideas on how to get local acts that are of similar genre to create bills for tour dates.

      What I usually do is....

      Take out ads on Craigslist
      Search myspace. If i find one local, usually their top friends has others
      Find local venue sites on myspace. Usually their top friends has the better locals


      Any other tips?advice?comments?

      We have 10 cities coming up in July and we cannot afford to fail!

    • The Electric Eels, Rocket From the Tombs, Pagans, Dead Boys, the Mirrors, Pere Ubu, etc.

      This was a great scene (esp. the '70s proto-punk stuff), and it's documented really well on this site: www.clepunk.com

      What's your favorite ClePunk record? "Young, Loud & Snotty" is pretty hard to beat!

    • I agree with Rod. Rollins really ruined that band. Early stuff is great, though! Timeless.

      For a cheap and cheerful good sounding fuzz I use a Danelectro french toast, .

      I used to used a Dan Electreau Grilled Cheese but then I switched to this:

      I like being able to control the amount of cheese to bread to signal ratio.
      HaHaHaHa!! Can't wait! .. to test drive this ONE!!

    • I recently purchased a Baja Custom Tone Bender. It's based on the early model type Tone Benders but with additional extras such as a 9v boss style jack & a kill control, which I'm thinking is the bias control, so you can nail that early 60's splatty maestro/drained battery/sliced cone type tone. Unfortunately it's still in transit :(. I've had a few fuzz pedals over the years, I seem to go back to my NYC Big Muff quite a lot, works well on most guitar amps and it's great fun to play slide with and nail that early Jack White tone.

    • oh my ... so many good-ones within that timeframe ... here's some of my favourites: "Pink Flag" (LP) 1977 - by the WIRE "Realities of War" (EP) 1980 - by Discharge "Inside My Brain" (LP) 1980 - by the Angry Samoans and of course, there's plenty more ... a year later (1981) came out some of the greatest stuff of bands like the Minor Threat, Black Flag, ...

    • I'm currently switching between a 65RI Fender Twin Reverb & Hot Rod Deville. I use a Blues Junior for mostly home use. The Deville has a pretty sweet clean and the gain channel is decent, reverb is very sturdy too. I find my Twin takes pedals a lot better then the Deville, I've used a fuzz face reissue through all three and it sounds like a completely different beast through the Twin. I always prefered the NYC Big Muff but after plugging in that fuzz face holy shit. Obviously the Twin has the better reverb and the tremelo is nice but honestly, I don't think the cleans are THAT much better. Not for the price anyway. Luckily I got mine cheap and only ended up paying $500AUD more for the Twin. I'm contemplating buying a AC15/AC30 though for that invasion/60's garage type sound. Then I might buy a bassman, man you can never have too many amps !
