YES! IS PUNK! NUFF SAID!!!!

Ok, a bit more: It's a rollercoaster, I have no problem with acknowledging it - it's pretty timeless.

With that much angst and alienation crammed into a 2.5 minute raw and aggressive guitar driven rock ‘n roll assault - hell yeah it's punk.

Funny, because I had discussion yesterday, after I played this song for a friend of mine. It's absolutely raunchy, snotty and the lyrics back it up completely, I just don't understand how you could not accept it. The sound is timeless. Really this song could of happened in 70's, 80's, 90's , the best part is, it came long before.
...I love the way he says social end product at around 1:15 , totally wait for it. yessss.

I like to refer music "experts" to this track when they argue that punk didn't exist until the 1970s. But recently I had one guy who flat-out refused to accept it as an example of punk. So what do YOU think? Vote here!

RE-20 Electrovoice !

Hey gang!

I'm in the market fer a good vocal microphone fer playin' out (& possibly if it's sweet a bit o' recordin' duty too)...any suggestions that really get it, in that garagepunk way (& plz spare me the "get a shitty one" replies)

Otherwise it's probably gonna be just a plain jane SM-58 mic (hopefully used to boot!)

Hi Austin , you sure send us something , but to avoid big travel , loss and expanses to reach France maybe we can to that by the web ?
What do you think ?
E.
PS: And hello everybody.

haha...I've done that...dreamed a whole song. Woke up thinking its f*ing great then I sat down and played it and it was just a generic country tune with rambling lyrics and it kinda sucked...sounded way better in my sleep! Hidden_Punk said:

umm... sometimes i have really crazy dreams and i write about them... actually one time i woke up and the whole song was already in my head words melody and the guitar part.... it was kinda scary... too bad it was about medieval dragons and stuff hahahahahahaha

but yeh originality is really important with me, im trying to stop listen to so much Nirvana at the moment actually... i find myself writing stuff that would sound good for cobain not me... i think wats best is to write stuff when ur not listening to anything overwhelmingly good

I used to be afraid to say anything...not wanting to piss of the sound person or sound whiny during a set...now I just ask for what needs to be done, cuz it's more fun to perform that way. Turn down guitars in monitor, turn up vocals...etc...As long as your cool to the engineer they are usually cool to you.

*every once and a while though I've got the pissed off jerk who is filling in for someone or hung-over and doesn't want to be there...I just think...FUCK OFF man you get to sit around and listen to live music for a living.

Ya, i really dig that R'n'R Monkey CD as well, really good party rec!! And the Crucials is on my want list....

SHAKY JAKE!!!!!

Not to get all hippy on you, but I am a very Zen influenced player. I like to begin by playing a chord/note or maybe a short progression (ex. E - G - D). Then once I get into a groove and an idea for a rhythm I play it until a lyrical pattern comes to mind and I then sing free verse until I hit on a theme. From there I expand the chords and actually try to "destroy" them in a way, by playing the chord in different patterns or at different parts of the fret board (adding minor chords/dischords, feedback, fuzz) until I get an original sound. Lyrics for me always come last...because I don't know what I want to say until the song unfolds...but it sounds like you've got enough ideas to stockpile templates for lyrics (remember it's all about editing in the end. You may want to take out a lyric, add a word, rearrange the prose). I've heard of people writing lyrics and molding the songs around them but it never worked for me. Check out my band VAUDEVILLAINOUS at www.myspace.com/vaudevillainous to hear how my songwriting turns out. AND let us all know when you get something going. I'd love to hear it!
