Host: Mal Thursday
The GaragePunk.com Forums are arguably the best place on the Web for fans of garagepunk trash rockabilly powerpop slop to come together and discuss the music we all dig so much. It’s where fan meets musician meets collector meets writer meets DJ meets photographer. In short, a pretty cool place. Carpet Donkey‘s combo recorded a cover of Tonto and The Renegades “Little Boy Blue” which sparked the idea to compile a comp of forum members, either as bands or individuals, covering cool ’60s Garage/Beat/Rock’n'Roll tunes. JPRackets urged people to contribute songs and the response was incredible. Songs started coming in from all over the world. Established bands and first-timers alike joined in. Other forum members designed a cover, mastered and sequenced the disc and it was copied and distributed to forum members by other forum members. All for free. For more info, or to comment on the music, click here. Now, thanks to MalThursday of Florida Rocks Again, it’s been converted to a podcast. Dig in, and dig it.

Great set, lo-fi, hi-fi, good production, “bad” production, etc. It was nice to finally get to hear Mal Thursday sing for the first time. Judging by the 20+ pages of posts on the forum a lot of hard work went into this. Good work!
Just more for us on the sidelines to chew on…
