    • From Houston Examiner: Memphis music icon Jim Dickinson, the producer behind The Replacements’ Pleased To Meet Me and Big Star’s Third/Sister Lovers, died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, August 15. The 67 year old musician was recovering from triple bypass surgery. Dickinson was a sought after session musician who played piano on numerous albums including The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, Aretha Franklin’s Spirit In The Dark, and Bob Dylan’s Time Out Of Mind. His production work on the Big Star album Third/Sister Lovers, recorded in 1974, but not released until 1978, made him an in-demand producer for many of the new bands who would soon top the college alternative charts in the 80’s. In addition to The Replacements, Dickinson also produced Jason & The Scorchers, Green On Red, Mojo Nixon, True Believers, Willy DeVille, John Hiatt, and Houston favorite Joe “King Carrasco http://tinyurl.com/lzjrew

    • Sleepy London Ontario actually has 3 record stores that sell a fair bit of vinyl:

      Speed City Records....loads of cheapie records, and lots of punk/indy/noise type stuff. Most of the records i get locally come from here...I almost always leave the store with way less cash and more records.
      Grooves Records....more mainstream type records as well as new indy stuff....there's always treasures to be found.
      Village Idiot Records....more collectable type stuff...higher prices but generallye excellent condition records.

    • Central Indiana stores (that I know of): -Vibes Music in Broadripple Indianapolis, IN -Village Green in Muncie, IN (near BSU) -Indy CD and Vinyl in Broadripple Indianapolis, IN -Missing Link Records in Indianapolis, IN *I'm not familiar with Bloomington at all but I KNOW there are lots of rad record shops there. Also - if you are in Muncie, IN - there is a used vinyl record shop downtown called Dan's Downtown Record Store. Another sweet spot for used gems is the Off Broadway Antique Mall. On the weekends you should check out the Main Street Flea Market. Hellz yeah.

    • Shake-It Records here is Cincinnati, OH is fantastic: http://www.shakeitrecords.com/ An entire floor of new and used vinyl of all genres. People who work there know their stuff and aren't stuck up hipster assholes, either. Love that place.

    • Luna Records is across the street from my house, but the employees are total hipster trash. One dude really wouldn't talk to me until I bought a Velvet Underground album.
      Vibes music is a few blocks away, on 54th. Their selection is okay, and the guys who run it are always super cool.
      Indy CD and Vinyl is on 62nd/Broadripple. They probably have the best selection in the city. Staff is knowledgeable, but occasionally a bit snotty. Owner is a nice guy, though.
      There's also "the record shop" on 62nd and. . . Guilford? It's by the violin shop. I've been in there once, and they were a bit too collect-y for my style. I like records I can listen to.

    • I’ve done a bit of a re-write, added an infobox and spit it up a bit. Made it a bit more wikipedia-ish. Expanded it a bit but 90% of the last edit’s info is still in there… Smash it up, tare it all down, do whatever, go for gold… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GaragePunk_Podcast_Network

    • it's only rock n roll but i like it.

    • I'm working on song writing, and never have finished something I'd share with somebody, but I've found Garage Rock to be a musical godsend. I used to listen to a lot of Bob Dylan and such, and always was really intimidated by the number of ideas they crammed into a song-- both as lyrical ingredients and structural ideas. The Stooges and Standells kinda made me say, "oh yeah, Rock n' Roll can be kinda dumb."
      I usually start off with a line or two that seems kinda clever (insults have been pretty fertile). Then I just sing a melody that sort of matches.
      I heard an interview on NPR with singer/songwriter Andrew Bird, he said he just sings melodies and the works lyrics into his nonsense vocals. It kinda works.

    • If you can find it on ebay Shure use to make an awesome Mid-grade mic called the "Shure BG 1.1" I purchased mine years ago in the 90s and still use it today for studio and live stuff. It's a wonderful dynamic mic! I've recorded Vocals, guitar amps, Snare and Bass drum, and I've used it as a room mic, there's nothing it can't do and it's cheap if you can find one! I think it's more underrated than anything
