The Steam Engine is 10 minutes from arrival, so let's ponder on the side of the tracks and see how many songs we can name that have to do with some kind of transportation.

Train to Disaster ----- The Voice
The Great Train Robbery ------The Little Boy Blues
The Toonersville Trolley and Train For Tomorrow ------ Electric Prunes

PJ Dirty Water said:

After seeing last night's spontaneous Headcoats reunion, yes, Billy Childish has got to be at the top of the list! (And the Cynics were, indeed, totally amazing here last Thursday. As well as, like Billy, having been making great garage punk sounds since before some of their audience were born.)

You know the Sonics? lol)

damn, a little twitter goes a long way! i'm super excited too, and hope tim sells those ads! sadly, i do have to work for the industry tools during CMJ, but an oblivians show would take the cake, hands down.

arrrrrrrrrrrrr American fuckers! Get that line-up over to Europe! better yet, THE NETHERLANDS!

:/ Fucking hell..

Fuck! Let's go and get fucked up!!

I'd have to go with most of the Devil Dogs covers...

Palisades Park
Be True to your School
It's not easy
Laugh at me

I agree more with the King khan &BBQ record and almost all the records of the Black lips... So good so fine..

and personal favorite's of mine are also:
King Automatic - Automatic ray ,
Demon's claws - satan's little pet pig,
Fumestones - 5'er than ever,
Jeffrey novak's one man band - southern trash,
tokyo electron - tokyo electron,
the reatards - teenage hate
digital leather - monologue!!!!!!!!
Cheveu - Cheveu

to mutch to write all the fucking neat bands with great albums.. but these are my hero's

Brimstone Howl's new record We Came In Peace is definitely worth hearing. There's a Cynics-esque Denver local band called The Omens that put out a killer full-length in '05, Destroy The ESP The Omens on Myspace

Fuck!
I think the 2000s have been great musically speaking:

Anything by livefastdie is fucking great! Bandana Thrash is the full length, but the 7"ers are great, too...and there's a lot of them.
King Khan w/ the Shrines is good (as is King Khan BBQ Show)--What Is!?!? continues to blow my mind.
Deadly Snakes: Ode to Joy and Porcella are both classics
Digger and the Pussycats: Young, Tight, and Alright; Watch yer Back; Let's go to the Hospital--stripped down rock n roll

I'm sure there's more...the 2000s have been a solid decade for rocknroll!!!!

Actually, I need some help. Does anyone know a site that has a track list for these compilations? Because I'm seeing some conflicting information floating around and it's getting impossible to keep track of.
