I really like Hardrock Gunter.

There's a lot of bad hardrock, and there's a lot bad garagerock (2008 has been an all time low for garagerock, hardly listen any new garagerock anymore cuz it's sooo boring and bland). The hardrock haters mostly confuse hardrock with lame 80s hairmetal, which is like calling Stokes or Vines for garagerock. Here's some names I dig:

New hardrock:

Witchcraft, Graveyard, Dzjenghis Khan, Five Horse Johnson, Orange Sunshine, Tonight, Endless Boogie, Hidden Hand, Om, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Birds Of Maya, Mammatus, Dollhouse, High On Fire.

Old stuff:

Pentagram, Bang, Highway Robbery, Crushed Butler, Buffalo, Sir Lord Baltimore, Budgie, Leaf Hound, Flower Travellin Band, Jericho, Toad, Third World War, Human Instinct, Thin Lizzy, Trouble, St. Vitus, Angel Witch.

Way more exciting than most new cleancut mod wannabe yuppies wearing matching suits.

But anyhoo, fuck hardrock and garagerock, cuz Human Eye's "Fragments Of The Universe Nurse" and Digital Leather's "Sorcerer" are the two best albums of the year!

I think it's safe to say most people don't only listen to one genre of music, and there's always gonna be a couple of records on yer shelf that don't fit in with the rest (for me it's those four fun lovin' criminals ablums sitting next to the sonics). All the same, arena rock is going a bit too far for me.

Some of us have been waiting for Chinese Democracy since 1985.

I have always hated musical genres, too.

Geez... this discussion is for the sandbox, kiddies. Now I know why I love Techno.

Any advice fer how to go about gettin' labels/bands to consider you as a reviewer? I've been asked very rarely in the past when I did a radio program to review recordings for labels and now that I have a proper blog I'd really dig a steady flow of review material comin' my way so I can add more content to my blog...

Listen to exsisting Garage Punk and then rip it off. Much like Sara's comment really. It's a stable law throught the genre - if in doubt, rip it off!

In my humble opinion, the best thing to do is learn the 5-tone blues scale and listen to a lot of Billy Childish....

hi everybody

when i was younger i use to play (ok it's not the right term...) electric guitar in a hc punk band...just power chords in 3-chords-songs.

now friends give me a guitar just to play on my own...

i'm askin' if out there there's a manual or a method to play electric guitar in "our" way...rock guitar in a "garage punk" style...i don't want to loose any time in stupid and boring stuff...

thanx

send mp3s or link to download from at
klimentopoulos@gmail.com

will most certainly do!

good stuff man,
would love for you to play some of our stuff,..
cheers
Chris

+2)
If you are in a garage band, send mp3s , otherwise tune in and drop a line in the chat room!
more news to come....

I thought X-Ray was pretty good. He's able to convey a feeling and mood that doesn't necessarily correlate with standard biographical facts.

with the magnetic je ne sais quoi!!! i LOVE her! nobody, but NOBODY make me shake it quite like Sharon Jones! Yeah! Myspazz says she has two new 45's out, anybody heard em yet?

i do a podcast.and i'm my biggest fan...i wonder why

the podcast is rawmantic sessions, i play garage punk rock and lotsa more stuff, here's the link, go and check if u have the time: www.podomatic.rawmantic.com

One of my favorite Los Angeles pop psych singles is the Rumors' "Without Her" (Gemcor #50072, 7/65) which I encountered on one of Rhino Records' '80's Nuggets vinyl compilation LPs (appropriately subtitled "Pop"). The A-side, "Hold Me Now," turned up on Rhino's first Nuggets 4CD box, but I haven't been able to locate the hypnotic "Without Her." I would've pegged it as a likely candidate for inclusion on one of the countless psych compilation CDs out today; does anyone know where to find it?

Just instros. Go for it! Yeah.

I love getting a new podcast almost daily to listen to. And I especially love it when one of my favorite category has a new edition out (man I was in Heaven with that new Hot Slop).

But I have a few that I replay over and over again- just wondering if I'm not alone in this. Short list is South Bay Pork 1 and 2 and Brazilian Mob. Don't get me wrong, I have many, many titles shufflin through my MP3 player- but I think these are almost daily.

Any favs out there?

Does anybody know what kinda mic Elvis used on the 68 Comeback Special... His voice sounds great thru it and I got similar tubes to him... Its got some good grunt on it... I want one... [IMG]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh134/PigmeatJohnson/ElvisComeback.jpg[/IMG]
