    • Friends, squires and noblemen... lend me yer cult-ivated ears. I am putting together a cool little Canadian zine focusing on '60s teen-beat, group sounds and degenerate adolescent rock'n'roll from past decades! I am currently looking for contributions and submissions for articles, interviews, record raves, useless babble, recent reviews of the re-ish scene, etc. Anything that's remotely interesting and befitting of our little digs! It will be distributed throughout Central Canada (Quebec/Ontario), and I would really love to feature writing from the many wise and talented garage gurus of the GaragePunk forums. We're not snobs to fuzz, screams and tambourines either... pop-psych, UK Invasion, early combo sounds, surf music, folk-rock and other related content is more than welcomed in our printed yellow payges! We're especially in need of submissions for more reviews right now. If you run a reissue label or would like to send in promos of your discs, comps, whatever... Please drop me a p.m. or email at oliverbesner@sympatico.ca if there's any interest! Also taking space for adverts now! Again: oliverbesner@sympatico.ca and I hope you cats will write in!

    • <<Cream Puff War>> Dang straight. The Dead's first album was downright garagey! But Christ, I'm way too fickle to think of one desert isle record. Maybe the first Nuggets box set? Sam the Sham's SECOND ALBUM, the one with "Ju Ju Hand" and "The Gypsy" ? Las Vegas Grind Vol. 1? STAY SICK by The Cramps? THE CRAMPS GRACE THE NM CAPITOL NEWSROOM

    • Sadly, Estelle of the Ronettes passed away few days ago. She was sister to Veronica (Ronnie Spector).

    • I agree that it would be interesting to know where he's buried... unless he's being cremated, which is a possibility.

    • The cramps official website states that a donation to animal society www.bestfriends.org should be left instead of flowers, so I made a donation there.

    • February 13, 2009 1:17 PM CST
    • Thank you for your response. The ceremony was yesterday. I hadn't plan on attending the actual ceremony only to leave flowers afterwards, which I would still like to do.

    • a press release on their official website states that his funeral service will only be attended by his closest family, and wish it to be of the utmost privacy.
      with all due respect, i think you should leave it at that.

    • Does anyone know where Lux Interior's final resting place will be? A friend of mine says his burial is today and seems to think it's in Los Angeles/So Cal area somewhere but doesn't have the dets. If anyone has any info. I would very much appreciate it. Thanks! -I.D.

      THE ASTRONAUTS, 1964 LP reissue Title: Competition Coupe Sundazed Bear with me all; this is my first attempt at a record review.... So I bought this sucker because my mom when to college in Boulder and would always talk about the Astronauts along with every other old fogy I met from Colorado. I'll keep it short and simple... This record was kind of 50/50 for me. All the vocal tracks pretty much reminded me of early beach boys, which I played out when I was about 6. So if thats your thing you'll love it because all the instrumental songs are pretty freakin solid! Only wish there were more instroson the LP. It make me want to get more of thier stuff just for the instros. Check out the website to explore the tunage: http://www.sundazed.com/product_info.php?products_id=961 Track Listings: 1. Little Ford Ragtop 2. Competition Coupe 3. The Hearse 4. ’55 Bird 5. Devil Driver’s Theme 6. Happy Ho-Daddy 7. Our Car Club 8. Devil Driver 9. Chevy Scarfer 10. 4:56 Stingray 11. El Aguila (The Eagle) 12. 650 Scrambler -Sumiji

    • Now that my family is settled in, and I know that we will not have any more children... I have decided to start MAGPIE again. Bring it out of the hole, though, I still have a lot of The Lobsters' 45's left over. I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me get rid of them. Heh? Come on, it's a great idea. If ya want just one, or two, or three... you can purchase them off of our myspace. www.myspace.com/magpierecords1 Thanks!

      2.Death Bedside Manner
      3.We Need More
      4.Never Will
      5.I Hate People (Anti Nowhere League Cover)

    • Back in November, I checked them out on MySpace and I was pretty excited. Later that month, they played the Bowery Ballroom, sandwiched between the A-Bones and King Khan & BBQ. I was mighty disappointed: Very same-y sounding the entire time.

    • Tune your radios to 88.5 FM CJSR Edmonton or tune in on the web at www.cjsr.com for a tribute to the late frontman for the Cramps, Lux Interior – whose “Purple Knif” radio broadcast was the inspiration (read:COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF) for Flying Saucer Rock & Roll and Dan Electreau. I'll be playing lotsa Cramps and a bunch of stuff from the Born Bad series. This will also be the LAST transmission of Flying Saucer Rock 'n' Roll radio so don't miss your final opportunity to tune in. Squares beware. Jeff Papineau on behalf of Dan Electreau

    • They had me at bikini Girls with Machine Guns,but I admit,I always took em for granted(I have too many bands to obsess over) and the loss totally got me down. Hope Ivy and em are all right.

    • Damn...Saw the Cramps in 78 and they blew me away. In 1980 he invited The Cudas to support The Cramps in London and Lux was a most gracious host, really went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The Feelies were on the same bill and their management tried to muscle them in to play after us in the prime support, but Lux put his foot down and ensured the order of the bill was respected. He was a real Rock 'N' Roll fan, shaker and mover and a real gentleman to boot.

    • Here's a sad story. If you can help: DO SO! In Memphis there's a 4-year old little girl fighting cancer. She needs to have surgery and her parents need real money for that. Her mom is called Amy Ives and her dad is Zac Ives, co-owner of Goner Records. Her name is Anna and you can read all about this sad story at the goner site: http://www.goner-records.com/anna/ There's a load of people auctioning off lots of stuff on eBay to raise money for Anna. Check those auctions, of rare records for instance, out here: http://www.goner-records.com/AnnaIvesAuctions/ Nasty Product wants to help her. we decided to send all of the money collected by the sales of our records in february to support Anna & her parents... Records are 3 euros including shipping cost Still available : NP07 King Custer & The Magnetix 12" (last copies) NP12 The Plutones 7" NP13 The Golden Boys 7" (few copies) NP14 The TouchMeNots 7" (few copies) NP15 El Vicio 7" NP16 Movie Star Junkies 7" (last copies) NP17 Feeling of Love 7" (last copies) NP19 Love Killed my Brain 2 7" NP20 Digger & the Pussycats 7" (few copies) NP21 Jack of Heart 7" (last copies) www.myspace.com/nastyproduct mail(at)nastyprod(dot)com
