Somewhere, somebody posted a picture of some ghostly skeletons with guitars and a drumset and I'm not talking about the goofy pic from Mad Monster Party.  This one actually looked kind of realistic.  Does anybody remember seeing this pic and what page it's on?  I'd really appreciate finding it.

PS-of course we did the cd recording off of the vinyl test pressing and we will do the vinyl on a limited run as well.
cheers!

yeah it's four and then you have to pay which is still pretty cool. I like to give the majority of my stuff away if it is a digital download. I set my songs for a dollar a piece just to see how they work when people buy them. I'll end up changing it back to free tomorrow. The CD single with all the really cool artwork is coming out next week. So if you want a copy of the cd free of charge let me know. I'd love to send one to you and the cd is gonna be a special limited production of 250. Mal Thursday said:

Thanks, I figured it out. It's limited to five items (I think you gotta pay to add more), but I added a representative selection from The Malarians Swag Shack

I thought you could also upload five mp3s, but it only let me do four.

ok mal go to the control panel or room or whatever they call it and move the mouse over the store tab. It should say create item. then you put the title such as "tour t-shirt" and a description. then you set the price and handling cost. put up an image and there you have it. Still don't know exactly how it all works but I'm learning. If you have any other questions ask. I know someone that is buying two of my songs today so i told them to call me when they do so I can hear some feedback on how "user friendly" it is. Mal Thursday said:

we joined and like the fact that it is pretty genre specific. Plus you can create your own items for merch. and that's pretty cool too.

I set up a page for my band, the Malarians (http://www.ebandagogo.com/The_Malarians/), but how and where do you do the merch thing?

Thanks for the heads up. We're here... http://www.ebandagogo.com/Acid_Fascists/

We just set up a page for our band on eBandaGoGo. I was really impressed by the number of quality garage rock & punk bands that have already found it. Looks like they've been doing a lot to promote the site to the right people. It doesn't quite have all the bells & whistles that the Hideout does, but it's still pretty cool and a good place for bands to network with other bands.

Any other bands here use it? If so, post your links!

Good punk set... had a Flipper song requested already.....(Sex Bomb). Great Captain Beefheart song! So far we are not on the same page as that other list, you all are proving my theory correct! Keep going!

My flash on you - Love
Zig Zag Wanderer - Captain Beefheart
Down to the Wire- Neil Young (Buffalo Springfield)
Can't stand back - The Rats (Toody)
6 cold feet - the Gories (ha no bass line!)

Love Canal - Flipper
Room for One - Eater
Cut-Out Man - The Thought Criminals
Shutdown - the Germs
how about those?///....

After a discussion in a bar last night, I put you all up in a challenge. I disagreed with the list of top 25 Bass lines that my friend Nick had compiled for his site, Friggin Fabulous Radio. So now we are going to see what you all come up with! Give me your top 5 Bass lines!

Get the book- Make Your Own Electric Guitar by Melvyn Hiscock...I got a copy used on Amazon for next to nothing.

Excellent! That's exactly what I needed! I'll post some pictures when I get some work done on it. I've made a full scale body pattern and I'm hoping to cut it out in the next few days. Color-wise I'm leaning towards white with a black pickguard. We'll see...

Hey Jamie, this site might provide the answers to your painting questions: http://reranch.com/ i would probably go for white or maybe black or another dark colour with the headstock painted to match.

I'm way too poor to buy all the guitars I want so I'm gonna make a few and see how it goes. So far I have a these two in the works:

1. Vox Phantom with two lipstick pickups
2. Something jazzmaster/jaguar-ish with p90s

I've got some poplar for the bodies and a nice squier strat neck for the phantom. I can't decide on a color for the phantom. White would be cool. Some kind of reverse sunburst would be great. My painting skills are gonna be limited though I'm sure. Price will be a factor too. I don't know if nitrocellulose varies by color.

L. Ron Bacchus of the Hard Liquors.

BORN BAD in the Bastille district in Paris is super cool...lots of vinyl. But one of the guys that owned it died a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, great album. That was like the 4th or 5th album I ever bought and I've loved it ever since. Seems like someone should have sampled the opening bass riff for "Rest Cure"... El Diablo Americano said:

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the whole album. His cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" is the best I've heard.

Yeah, if you already know basic chords...learning songs by ear (for garage rock anyway) is probably best. That website listed above looks great for learning the words, however. I had to painstakingly decypher bad sounding records to get lyrics to garage rock songs and it was tough. But it might be a good idea to compare the lyrics to the records still. I mean I just looked at Liar Liar by the Castaways recently and somewhere in the first verse it says "come kill me honey, see how I cry", Kill? I think it's really "Come to me honey, see how I cry". Kill is rather extream, don't you think?
