It seems to me that this could be a pretty lucrative business to open, especially with how CDs aren't selling anymore and more and more bands and labels (even majors) are turning back to pressing vinyl, not to mention the fact that there are very few pressing plants anymore (none in all of Canada? That's insane). I wonder how hard it would be to open a little pressing shop...?

Since I have moved from the U.S. to Canada pressing records has become quite a bit more expensive. There are no pressing plants in Canada. Now I have to pay extra shipping and duty tax. Very aggravating. I barely break even and even lose money from time to time. Obviously I am not in it to make money, but I sure don't like losing it.
I've heard rumor of a plant opening in Montreal. I hope this happens.

OK, I posted a blog with some pics from The A-Bones at Shinjuku Loft in Tokyo. There was like over 30 bands, and my camera skills aren't the greatest, but I took a few decent photos. http://garagepunk.ning.com/profiles/blogs/abones-in-tokyo
Everyone please welcome Dan Electreau's great show back to the GaragePunk Podcast Network! http://www.garagepunk.com/category/podcast/flying-saucer-rocknroll/ Thanks, kopper
Daaaang that double neck sounds siiiiick! I play an Gibson SG that I like okay but since I've been playing in a for-realzy band I am yearning for something more eccentric. Actually - I'm embarrassed to say it but I've played around on the Dimebag Darrel signature guitar at the store a long time ago - and I've kinda wanted one ever since. It shreds. Suzy MM said:
Yeah, I'm probably more in a "b-b-b-band" than in a "band". That sounds more right. Been playing bass for a number of years, but in my current band "The Lords Of Nada", I'm playing drums and singing. LOT'S of fun! I play w/ 2 guitar players. One plays a baritone guitar and the other guitar player alternates between a double neck Gretsch w/ a 6 string bass / 6 string guitar, and a Denelectro double neck 12 string guitar / baritone. Fancy! Hahaha! So were down and dirty, knuckle draggin' garage rock, just like God meant it to be! : ) That's cool that you play guitar & drums Jannell!
that bassin' sounds like Kira from Black Flag. I dig it. Emily Panic said:
Hey Jan. I too am in a band, we're called thee ribs - i guess i'd call us abnox-snotty punk or something.. (i just made that up) i play bass and sing, girl drummer guy guitar player (he likes when we dominate him) I play a 79' fender P-bass (my baby) and i have an ampeg. My band lives in Boston and I am moving to NYC soon. I don't really like the recordings we have but checkout - Www.Myspace.coM/TheeRibs
holla,

Ah man Brussels...I bet the music scene there is killer. So is that Ibanez 5 string made with just 5 strings? Which string is missing? I bet that is a dumb question but the guitar sounds rad. I play music with a lo-fi basement band in its infancy. U'LERS said:
Hi Jannell. I am in a vintage old school punk band (singer, bass player). Been playing since teenage years (yesterday lol). I have an Ibanez 5 strings that sounds really cool, and I want to buy a Ampeg amp.
Live in Brussels Belgium, and you ?
Cheers

BOMP! 2: Born in the Garage Edited by Suzy Shaw & Mike Stax OUT THIS FALL! PRE-ORDER THE BOOK HERE (U.S. and CANADA) PRE-ORDER THE BOOK HERE (OVERSEAS) BOMP! 2: Born in the Garage is a heavyweight celebration of the roots of rock fandom. The book includes more than 300 pages of reproductions from Greg Shaw’s pioneering '70s era zines WHO PUT THE BOMP and BOMP!, including stories on '60s garage and beat, surf music, the British Invasion, girl groups, rockabilly, acid punk and psychedelia, along with obsessively detailed discographies and label listings, plus reams of readers’ letters and never before published material. The sheer volume of historical information is almost mind-boggling. Also included are reprints from Shaw’s obscure ‘personal’ zines, METANOIA and LIQUID LOVE, circulated in 1970-72 to just a handful of friends and fellow writers. Aside from including a huge selection of Shaw’s insightful writing, BOMP! 2 also includes rare early work by celebrated rock scribes like Ken Barnes, Lester Bangs, Lenny Kaye, Richard Meltzer, Dave Marsh, Mike Saunders, Phast Phreddie and more. The artwork of underground artists like Jay Kinney, William Stout and Tom Kirk is also included. The book also boasts new essays by Jon Savage, Alec Palao, Ken Barnes, Suzy Shaw and Mike Stax, and eye-popping cover art by the immortal William Stout. This is the ultimate anthology of rock ’n’ roll fandom from its inception to its mid/late 1970s heyday.
That's what the internet is for:) It's a place to indulge in your obsessions, regardless of how weird or obscure they are. That's why porn took to the internet like a fish to water. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:
Some of the bands I mentioned did make it on later and the show did get better as it continued. I just haven't been happy with it lately, but that's my problem. I don't have Sirius Radio but I guess those shows are available on his archives as well. I should just be happy that I do have alternatives and options.

I only bought a ticket for the Mummies show as I'm only able to afford to stay in San Francisco one night. But yeah, I was lucky. I was at the computer on my e-mail the second Sectmaniac made the announcement they were available. kopper said:
You got tix to Budget Rock? Lucky bastard.
Rockin Rod Strychnine said:Normally I'd go since it's only a few hours away, but driving back that same night would be tiresome and I'm already spending what little I have on hotel fair for the Budget Rock two weeks later. Also it seems that all the big acts are practically playing against each other instead of co-headlining. It's not like these are the last shows of any of these groups.
I'm glad you enjoyed. I heard it for the first time 5 years ago and I was amazed that there was a version that incorporated that riff (and at a breakneck pace). It was recorded in 1964 a year or two before the Kinks version.
