    • I don't tend to break out of the garage mode much (or rock and roll in general) so most jazz records or blues records is always new to me. Even with all the garage stuff I've heard, there's always something new coming to my attention. This one guy has a myspace page that he dedicates to sixties garage and a lot of the time, he plays stuff that hasn't been comped. http://www.myspace.com/sixtiesgaragerockpage

    • This wasn't their first attempt at the garage. Remember Elvira and it's attempt at ripping off the Rivingtons Ooom Pappa Ooom Pappa Ooom Pappa Mow Mow? Just kidding. This White Stripes cover is quite insane and good in its own weird way (if you're a fan of those Rick Ruben produced Johnny Cash albums or even Jack White's Loretta Lynn album). kopper said:

      I never thought I'd hear the Oak Ridge Boys cover a White Stripes song, but now I have...

    • In Seattle, Singles Going Steady is the most underground you'll get. Easy Street Records in the Queen Anne area is pretty decent as well as their West Seattle store. And so is Sonic Boom in Ballard. There's some others but someone else will have to fill us in as I can't think of them off the top of my head.

    • If you travel to Marseille in south of France have a run at Lollipop Store the best record shop in town. Garage, Punk, Soul, Sixties, Comps (CDs and LP's), Books, Shirts,... . The two boss are real cool guys. You can even have a drink cause there's a little bar inside. Funny place.

    • When I'm in NY, GREENPOINT - BROOKLYN I love to skip to PERMANENT RECORDS www.permanentrecords.info/ Nice people, cool store, great stuff - great area to hang out anyway. Shopping is easy there: There's a thriftstore like second-hand section, some rarities and the staff (mostly it's the owner herself) is very friendly and up on things. You can find recs from IN THE RED to NORTON and back as well as some old timey thing-eys.

    • I got one of those too since the only way you can listen to past episodes is to sign up to their mailing list but that's as far as I'm going with that. I'm not signing up for this. I mean, as long as you don't mind getting the occasional e-mail from Renegade Nation, you can listen to the shows for free so who needs a script a double CD?

    • Is this like a corporate version of our little Hideout? From an email I just received: Friends of The Underground Garage, Stevie Van Zandt is excited to announce the Beta release of Fuzztopia – “all things Rock and Roll.” We need your help adding content, and we’ll be rewarding a few of the best profiles. As a “one-stop” for FANS and bands, Fuzztopia will ultimately include: --a place for you to purchase songs and albums from bands, including content exclusively available on Fuzztopia. --advice and tools, from “city secrets” and “cool stuff” to “techville,” “video games,” and “da biz,” among other things. We’ll be gathering content from our favorite sites, but we’ll also have recommendations and feedback from musicians, bands, and people like Little Steven that just haven’t been available anywhere else. Think of “city secrets” as all the places in your hometown (restaurants, bars, clubs, etc.) that you would recommend to visiting friends. Likewise, if you have “city secrets” from other parts of the world you’ve visited, Fuzztopia is a fantastic place for that insight. --tons of streaming video content. At “The Drive-In,” fans of B-movies will soon be able to watch and chat in real time. Meanwhile “Fuzz TV” will have live concert footage, original programming, and music videos. Here’s where we need your SUPPORT & EXPERTISE: --sign up as a fan, and create a profile --add TWO of your favorite videos --provide 5-10 “City Secrets,” plus ANY PHOTOS. --ADD comments about “secrets” AREADY posted by others. Remember, people will be looking for your input! We know you have the inside scoop, and we want you to share it. --create a playlist from the bands that have already uploaded their music. --the beta version of Fuzztopia isn’t just about building - we want your feedback. Are there things you don’t like? Areas that need improving? A feature missing? Is anything confusing? Should we add something else? What do you like best? This is the time to tell us. We will REWARD the best profiles with a couple of great prizes: GRAND PRIZE (one winner) * A pair of tickets to ANY one of the remaining Summer/Fall tour dates with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band! PLUS you and your guest will receive exclusive laminates to meet Stevie Van Zandt backstage before the show! 1st PRIZE (one winner) * Fender Stratocaster Squire Classic 50’s guitar signed by Stevie Van Zandt! 2nd PRIZE *FIFTEEN 2nd prize WINNERS will be selected RANDOMLY among the COMPLETED PROFILES, so everyone creating a thorough profile has a chance to win: *A script for an Underground Garage radio show PERSONALLY signed by Stevie Van Zandt. PLUS a double CD copy of the applicable show. The scripts are always written by hand, and include a bunch of commentary. This is a highly collectible, immensely cool look at the creative process for the show Here is the sign-up page: http://beta.fuzztopia.com/PreRegister.aspx Thanks for your help making Fuzztopia the best place for “all things rock and roll.”

    • But he can still play and sing and is still fantastic. Jannell said:

      I watched a pretty good doc about Roky Ericson of The 13th Floor Elevators. If you dig that band at all you'll at least find this interesting. If you aren't familiar with Roky's story - he did a lot of drugs and had some shock therapy done to him for being schizophrenic and is now just batshit crazy. Sad. But interesting.

    • "Blast Off Girls" by Herschell Gordon Lewis is as real as it gets. He even recruited a real garage band to play The Big Blast. Highly recommended stuff.
      I also recommend "Mondo Mod" which has documentary footage of the Sunset Strip including bands performing at Gazzari's and The Whisky A Go-Go.
      And if you like pre-fab rock groups there's always Max Frost & The Troopers in "Wild In The Streets".

    • Do you know movies that deal with the golden '60s garage era? Cause I feel my brain more empty than a Jeffrey Lee Pierce's bottle of whiskey about that. Thanks.

    • I hate feeling like I hijack these threads! I checked Time Bomb's site and they have NOT NOW in on CD and vinyl for about 1500 yen in Japan. If they are selling the album at the show, I'll probably pick it up. Here's some more artwork by Rockin' Jelly Bean (Erostika/Jackie & the Cedrics).

    • OH MY SHIT! If that ain't some frakkin' hot action there! Enjoy getting closer to the A-Bones! Besides that, will someone be taking Photos/Video of that? I mean: PLEASE???? Pacifiction Records said:

      This is awesome... I'm about to see the A-Bones in Japan and their stuff keeps popping out of nowhere at me! I've seen the Japanese bands a million times but the A-Bones will be an initiation for me!

    • Maybe the Hideout hall of Fame is a better name just so there's no argument if Bo Diddley belongs or not or if a group is garage punk or garage revival or British beat or WHATEVER.
