I agree. This is my favourite Dirtbombs album ever. Top 10 of the year for sure.
Perhaps I should look into becoming a premium member is the new year. haha.
John Battles, I did not know that about car54! cool! For some reason I thought you were going to say that science fiction movie Johnny had an acting spot in called "Stranded".

After persuading my parents to buy me a drumset as a present for my 13th b-day (a very difficult task to undertake, btw) i wanted to have a band of course and so my boyfriend, a good friend of mine and i, started to meet in my garage to make some music.. I can´t recall much about the names each of us proposed, i can just remember that one of my suggestions was to call us The Stillborn or Born Dead or something like this... (which pretty good reflected my gaiety at that time) ;D Anyway, making some covers did work pretty well first but than in the attempt to create some songs we were NEVER AGREED!! So i started to call ourself "The LITIGIOUS"!! and well....no need to say that this band didn´t last long! :D
Other band names I came up with included:
Urban Idiots (Good name for a festival, methinks)
Jesus Lenin
Ultimate Weapon
I'm making a lotof mistakes because I'm trying to wrap this up and go downstairs before a tornado arrives.....
tHE very EARLUY hEAVY mETAL , or Hard Rock , evolved out of teh kater Garage stuff , I believe. When it became all E cHORDS AND NO SENSE OF ROOTS IN THE 80'S , i DUNNO. Sme Garage bands in teh Us made a natural progression to HARD rOCK OR hEAVY pSYCH IN THE LATE 60'S - EARLY 70'S. oBVIOUSLY BANDS LIKE THE SONICS , SWAMP RATS , NOBODY'S CHILDREN , ETC. WERE HEAVIER THAN METAL COULD DREAM OF BEING.

OH , AND IF MY REPLY DID'NT TURN UP , CHRIS , NO , SHE WAS ONE OF MINE. THOUGHT SHE KNEW EVERYTHING JUST BECAUSE SHE HAD A COPY OF "VELVET TINMINE". BRAT . Not knocking that stuff , it just never went over that great when I was Deejaying "Glam Night".
Is it me or it a lot of the early heavy metal influenced by garage, like glam was?

Rumor had it that Bowie was going to follow up "Pin- Ups" with a collection of "Nuggets" covers from The US. It's possible.
I heard a later interview where he said "There were these great bands in America , that just did'nt GIVE a damn. Bands like The Seeds and The 13th Floor Elevators , and....THE JEFFERSON HANDKERCHIEF !!!!". HA HA. i WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN ROBERT PLANT IS SUCH A FAN OF THE WAILERS , ELEVATORS , MOBY GRAPE , LOVE , BLUE CHEER ,etc. Just because I don't like his music , does'nt mean I don't respect his taste.
Does anyone think GG Looks a lot like Lou Reed in this shot?
I think I've sorted the dups GJB... a glitchi in the sys... Hell yeah people wanna hear Shake Some Action! Wish I could have been at the 'secret' notsosecret Brooklyn Sunday show... and of course, the show with TFG and The Sonics. *sigh*
No shit ! It would have been in his best interests to just stand down , and say , I've got a problem , I'm going to get help.
BUT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of contrition , I apologize for my last message appearing a half - dozen times. I tried to delete it , but , no luck. I'll try again , later.
Getting back to the subject at hand , it's cool that all the recent Groovies' shows have been so well - recieved. I'm more of a Loney - era Groovies man , but , I like the oft - bootlegged , finally compiled properly , post - Kama Suta , pre Sire stuff , with Chris Wilson , that came out as "Slow Death " on Norton.
I LIKE SOME OF THE SIRE MATERIAL , TOO , BUT , NOT AS MUCH AS MOST PEOPLE.... The Flamin' Groovies , as most of you know , have been working on a revolving door policy for about 30 years. When I first interviewed Roy Loney , he told me the original five - piece were planning to start playing out again , but , after practicing once , they decided , amicably , to put that project on the backburner. Cyril was already playing with The Magic Christian , and in an acoustic act with Mike Wilhelm. Roy was still occasionally doing solo shows. Eventually , Cyril and Roy started playing out , together , backed by The A-Bones. That may be as close to the original Groovies as we'll get. I saw them twice , and they DESTROYED.....
Roy's cool with the latter day band playing out under The Groovies' name. He even joined them on stage recently , in San Francisco.
He even told me that if the original lineup did reform , he had no problem doing "Shake Some Action" , because people would want to hear it.
Oh yeah, Rob Ford would def have a place in Chicago/Illinois politics. He could run for governor -- he's got the crim skills!
I ALREADY TOLD BLOODSHOT BILL TO DO IT. IT'S HIS COUNTRY THAT'S BEING PUT TO SHAME , NOT MIN E(NOT THAT WE DON'T HAVE OTHERS DOING THAT , HERE. WANTED TO LIKE EMMANUEL , BUT , SHEEE!!!) . WE KID AND JOKE ABOUT IT , BUT IT'S A FUCKED UP SITUATION , TO THE NTH DEGREE. I did'nt know Rob Ford , until recently , but , I could'nt name the mayor of Cleveland or Phoenix , EITHER .
iF LECKIE WANTS TO RUN , I SAY GOOD ON HIM. HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT BE ?
"iF YOU SEE POSSIBILITIES , I'M LECKIE , VOTE FOR ME. IF YOU SEE POSSIBILITIES , THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU AND ME".
NARDWUAR FAKED HIS WAY INTO AN AUDIENCE WITH GORBACHEV AND (GERALD ) FORD. HOW MUCH HARDER WOULD IT BE TO GET A MICROPHONE IN FRONT OF THIS DENIAL - ADDLED PARTY BOY ( WHOM CHICAGO WOULD LOVE , BTW.).
This album is perfect.
Nobunny is awesome!!!
oh , I almost forgot , Captain Led and The Letdowns from St. Louis. Great THEATRICAL jOKE - pUNK. tHEY EVEN HAD A SONG ABOUT BEEFALO.
"Songs The Lord Taught us" is definitely high up there with me , too. The Cramps were , as Lux said , one thing separate from this universe. It was Punk , but , it was something not of this world , too. They GOT it , that Rockabilly was the original Punk Rock music , and the wildness most Rockabilly bands lack today , they had , in spades. Lux said that Spin magazine did a big feature on CBGB's , and name checked every band nown to have played in the early days , but conveniently snubbed The Cramps. He said he phoned them to ask , WTF ? They said "Oh , we had a meeting , and decided you were'nt really Punk , you were just WEIRD ! ", and he said , we did all these shows at CBGS' ( I forget , 150 or something.) and played once a month at Max's (When a lot of bands could not play both venues.) , we supported The Ramones , The Dead Boys , and , now someone's saying we're not Punk ?
My favorite Saints' album is "Eternally Yours". I LIKE THAT IT GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN.....But I like the first three albums , and the last two (that I KNOW OF.) , a return to the Punk sound.
I GUESS THE BIG THREE , TO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE "THE CLASH" , "BOLLOCKS", and "Damned Damned Damned" . ALSO "IN THE CITY " BY THE JAM. You can say it was'nt Punk , but , it was very influential. sO WERE tHE sTRANGLERS' FIRST TWO ALBUMS , x- rAY sPEX'S lone album (Discounting the reunion CS.) . Then , there's Eater , The Lurkers , The Boys , SLF , EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS , Buzzcocks , Rezillos , Undertones , vIBRATORS, sLAUGHTER AND tHE doGS, etc.
SOME OF MY (AMERICAN) FAVORITES ARE - DICTATORS (GO GIRL CRAZY ) , FIRST FOUR RAMONES LPs , plus "It's Alive" , Heartbreakers (lamf , dtk.) , Suicide (1ST lp) , Dead Boys (Young , LOUD AND sNOTTY) , The Real Kids FIRST TWO, and dammit , "DMZ" is better than you've been told , X - fIRST TWO (tHO' i'D ONLY CALL "aIN'T lOVE gRAND " BAD.) , pERE uBU (tHE mODERN dANCE) - yOU CAN SAY IT'S NOT pUNK , BUT , LIKE THE cRAMPS , THEY WERE WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE PUNK SCENE....
FAVORITE JOKE BANDS - THE DICKIES , THE REZILLOS (THO' NEITHER BAND IS JOKING WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PLAY.) , LOS PUNK ROCKERS ,
THE CICHLIDS (FROM FLORIDA. IRRESISTABLE BUBBLE GUM /PUNK HOOKS AND GREAT TASTE IN COVERS.)
The Cramps' Songs the Lord Taught Us, The Clash's debut and I'm Stranded by The Saints.
