I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at Norton's SXSW showcase, Mary Weiss and the Reigning Sound, that is. Man, she sounded great!

Ditto !

I thought the Paul Weller forum was pulled due the constant porn spam that was being posted. It was also pretty much unmoderated, the record company or anyone connected to PW didn't seem to give much of a shit about the site, as most of it hadn't been updated in ages.

The problem people had on the Paul Weller forum had more to do with the constant spamming by the From The Jam "street team" rather than the bands name. It started to piss at lot of people off when every other thread you opened was about a Jam tribute act. Mind you it did make me laugh when the From The Jam moderator started slagging off Weller as "he split up our band". This same person now has a photo of her & Weller on her MySpace. Double standards or standards rule ok? In the end I'm not surprised that the plug got pulled on the Paul Weller forum.

start your own 'garage rock' collection.

manilow, hooker, real kids, missing persons, falco. if it's in your garage and you rock to it, you just did your own math.

i first heard about it here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=165875891&blogID=353093229 then after watching a coupla rob and big episodes, it came to fruition. i think i saw 3 or 4 spots. none including hr. maybe his spot will be during the finale of parental control. *fanoftheboilingpoints fortune

There were some great videos in there. Always love a Billie Childish performance. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xAW9e66Vuos Not sure if anyone else is interested, but Kevin Brown is a youtuber has a ton of great live performances: http://youtube.com/user/KevinBrownsvideos

Does anyone else spend way too much time surfing youtube for live performances? Throw them in this thread and share your finds! Here's a few for now. I'll add more later...

Great reply. If I did anything it would be during the 2-6 am range. Talked to Lars of The Intelligence for an afterparty and it turns out they're dropping out of SXSW. :\

I do feel Factory People were treated unfairly. It's wasn't the first time they had a party in their store, but this one fell during SXSW. The only one it seems the police had problems with.

Personally, I don't know what to make out of SXSW anymore. The entire thing puts a bitter taste in my mouth year by year. A festival that is suppose to celebrate the uniqueness of Austin but it makes it nearly impossible for locals to see a show. A town comprised of college students and badges are going for 500+?! Sure they offer wristbands, but they go so quick (not to mention I have a houston number and they won't accept that) and still run a bit pricey for a struggling college student. I'm not out trying to see huge headliners, but last year I couldn't even get into see smaller acts like Anavan or The Mae Shi.

I wouldn't mind so much, but these acts will usually only come by during SXSW. Once they make their round, they don't come back for a while. Ah well, I'll make due, like every year.

BTW, do you run the showlistaustin site? Gotta thank you for that, I visit that thing weekly.

Best way to find out this early is to check out myspaces.

As of now I've seen that The Intelligence and ANAVAN are playing.

I want to throw an afterparty with a band, but I hear the SXSW are big on shutting down unofficial parties. Meh, I'll try anyways.

usually they keep a pretty tight lid on that shit until the last minute, but if you check out the website www.sxsw.com, they'll stick up the schedules. as far as non sxsw stuff goes, it's more word of mouth when it comes to backyard bbqs and that kind of thing. usually, casino doesn't host bands as a venue, but sometime's casino's band the sons of hercules will do a show out back on the patio w/ one of their friend's bands. last time i went down for it, it was the nomads and it was fucking great....

I love the first Clash album...so much damn energy...and it sounds today more like an English garage band than so called punk.

OK, thanks, I guess I'll have to buy it now ;)

I really enjoyed the book.

I agree it's an excellent release; I'm debuting it in my top 5 on tomorrow's radio show. You can always count on the Fleshtones whether it's live on on record.

Did you put that out, PJ?

Who did Take A Chance originally - didn't realise it was a cover?

Is this an American or an English publisher's release?

So I'm up to Chapter 6 of "All Too Beautiful: The Steve Marriott Story" and it's not bad. Who's read this and what do you think?

I got a call from my good friend Damon Gayden that his brother Gregor had passed away on Tuesday Jan 30th while in the hospital. Gregor Gayden was the vocalist for one of the original Seattle Punk Rock bands The Telepaths. Some say that the Telepaths did the very first Punk Rock show (beating out the Sex Pistols by a couple of months) I can't speak to that argument (someplace there are posters for the show that prove it) but I can say that I was saddened to hear this infomation. I don't know much more on the circumstances except he passed away the hospital here in Seattle. I will post more info as I hear about it. He will be missed. It has been a hard week for musicians here in Seattle. First Ben McMillan of Skin Yard and now this, it just wears people down. Here is some of the scant on-line info on the Telepaths; http://pnwbands.com/telepaths.html

Just managed to get my hands on a Starstream! Maybe I'm gonna start a forum for guitars and crap here... There must be one already no?

If it's half as good as Ian McLagan's All The Rage I'll definitely get it.
