Isn't PUNK the name the tough guys in prison called the little guys they fuck in the ass?? That's what I heard!

I know I'm taking this a bit further off topic, but I think Johnny Singles brings up a great point about the Sex Pistols being considered THE defining British punk band. I would take this a step further, and say they've been anointed as THE defining punk band period. And it's a bit nauseating. It's as if it's too difficult for the listening public, and music industry as a whole to actually listen to the music - but instead define the pioneering punk movement based solely on perception. You mentioned their Today Show appearance. I'd say that, along with the 60 Minutes piece done in the U.S., defined not only the band, but the entire punk rock scene to an unacquainted audience. Since then, I think there's been a bit of a backlash by the true music fans, such as yourself - annoyed that punk became this label, associated greatly with the Pistols, and upset about the lack of recognition for the other great punk acts of the era - most notably the Clash. And while I agree there are things to scoff at regarding the Sex Pistols - you mentioned both McLaren and Vicious (and the band was over once Matlock left, as far as I'm concerned). Also, it's annoying seeing the overly simplistic recognition place upon the Sex Pistols. However, the backlash against the Pistols by music fans is generally unwarranted, and is often not based on the music itself.
Btw - we all know that THE defining punk band is really the Ramones.

yeah i hear what you're saying ... but that's my point, i don't think you can categorize The Clash's sound.

the clash are punk, it is their attitude that was punk all the way from the way they looked to the way they sounded
did you know that the word punk was first used by a radio dj from texas in 1966 describing the standells sound?

hey Tobi...

yes, i had some Ultimate Spinach records when I was in high school, yeah, not you average hard rock! hahahaha! as i know you for about 20 years i always witnessed your ability to not give a fuck what was hip and cool and do your own thing. i have always been proud of your for that! your theory about the 'new sound' is true to an extent. i feel like since the hit of 2000 now all we can do is mash all these international styles together to make anything 'new'. and it still ends up sounding like something we've heard... oh well, next life - next planet - next frequencies!

hello Brother Panti-christ
i know there is more out there, very obscure stuff, like the ultimate spinach or zerfas . have you heard of them?
what i learn since listening to music is that when the press says "this is the new sound" you can always go back in time way back in time when troglodytes ruled the world and find a band that did exactly the same but never made it
for my own music career i can say the same like i consider myself under the underground because i'm too avantgarde
to swim along with the regular underground maybe in 20 years someone will digout the stuff i did and calle me a pioneer
who knows
keep on with sonic nightmares its the only radio i listen too
love

this is it! this is fresh, this is young, this is stupid... i love it!! maybe Voodoo Rhythm should put this out...

We haven't heard this ....

Here you go. And good luck:

She fights like a cornered animal.
And she shows all her claws.
Says all the wrong things to hurt me.
She just knows them all.
One second and she's so shy.
Then she just blows up.
It's like dropping a stick of dynamite,
In a Dixie cup.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

She'll tantalize me.
Till I got to explode.
When I'm up there with her.
You just go go go.
Then she starts to bite me.
Man I just don't know.
She starts taking chunks of flesh.
Like a dog on a bone.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

I just don't know.
What'll happen next.
Will she want to fight with me, or
Will she just want sex?
I say girl you get us killed.
She just laughs and says,
Baby, if I die with you,
It'll be the answer to all my prayers.

She's volatile.
She's my baby.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.
Nitroglycerine.

Can't someone could help finding the Gories song's lyrics "nitroglycerine" ? i'm starting a new band and we want to practice this cover for a beginning...
I'm french so i understand one sentence out of 3 in the song ! héhé

Thanks in advance !!

Or how about these!

As the old saying goes the only good nazi is a dead nazi. I like 'Surf Nazi Goes Nutzoid' by DSC-GB - http://www.myspace.com/dscgb Which is dedicated to the nazi singer in badkardriver.

i dig screwdriver. to be honest, i even kinda dug the NF shit sometimes too. hah.

'77 'til '79 before they got into the N.F. shite...the UK'S version of The Saints/The Kids/Rose Tattoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nab any second hand records from this time or bootlegs so there's no cash goin' to 'em!!! Anyone else 'fessin' up to luvin' 'em?

I had one on Capitol Records that had a track called "Even If It Ain't Chromed - Chrome It". It was kind of novelty record-like, if I remember. It was okay.

wow i didn't know about those! i'll look for them and, if i find them, i'll put them up on my blog to download. thanks for the heads up and i hope you enjoy the blog!

PS Thanks for the Gasser downloads. I'll check out the rest of your blog. And welcome to the Hideout.

Contemporary with this was a record put out by Hawk Models to go along with the Weird-ohs and Silly Surfers plastic models, which I loved to put together as a kid in the '60s. The Weird-ohs --- Digger, Daddy, Endsville Eddie, Huey's Hut Rod, etc. --- were rip-offs of Big Daddy's characters to be sure, but they were pretty cool. The Silly Surfers were cool -- Hodad, Beach Bunny, etc. -- though they weren't as "Rothian." (They didn't have green and purple skin, fangs and bloodhot eyes, etc.) Anywho, there was an LP with songs about the Weird-ohs on one side and the Silly Surfers on the other. Pearl Jam actually covered one of the Silly Surfer songs, "Gremmie Out of Control." I found an MP3 of "Huey's Hut Rod" on the old Napster years ago. Love to get the thing on CD.

WHOOO! It's fun!

Can't go wrong with Julien Temple on the steering wheel ;)
