You have a right to brag! Amazing line-up! Will have to check out some online articles on past Gonerfests, too!

Everyone. Check it. I played rhythm guitar with Armitage Shanks the same night as New Bomb Turks and Guitar Wolf. Yes, I am bragging. I can die happy now.

You could call it the Norfuck Fest.

Ha! The closest I would get to starting up something like that would be something locally, and it would just be a few punk bands around...I would have better luck in Norfolk, though...And that probably wouldn't be too hard...I do know enough people from such bands as the Strap Ons, the Villains, Trauma Dolls, Hydeouts, thee Apostles, Sleaze Stacks, and more... Hmmm....And if I was able to throw something together there, I would have plenty of help...And it wouldn't be that hard to get Larry May down, too...

Recently I discovered Exploding Hearts and the Cute Lepers, and this thread gave me some real nice similar bands.
I tried looking up similar bands through last.fm, but found mostly 77 punk of the less poppy kind, and when I searched for powerpop I mostly found over produced emo/poppunk.
The suggestions from this thread are great!

what is included here? Real Kids, Hoodoo Gurus a million billion others?
power pop is a sucky genre title it makes me think of Dwight Twilley,Paley Brothers and Sean Cassidy and other no song acts who got major lable deals and then bombed in the late seventies. The real kings of power pop are probably Cheap Trick or Redd Kross :)

You should make a cheasy Pod-cast and submit it, I'll rather listen to that than search bOOB-TUBE.

none of the bands here are fun and still raw, they are old, and if you like power pop you should just listen to the first Saints Album and practice it in the mirror till you realize your... and in fact, I did, it sounds good I went into the garage and forgot how to record and such, still it aint about that, it's about having fun!!! here here, cheers. Play the same song without a symbol or something, and then wait, you'll be waiting for long. But waiting is the game, aint it!!!

Ass-piss !!! guess what I have the same amp as nick-X, except mine is a fender and it has one big hole it's orange cause the guy that sold it to me spray painted it with the word fuck, and had a shot-gun... hmm ex-military, I hate myself, but I looked up all these bands and I liked the scientists, then I bought the movie the last pogo, the wretching Red, whore-house of rep is from here, guess what I'm DRUNK, I like the trailer boys.

Any of you lovely people use Spotify? I'm putting together a playlist (whiles the hours at work!) and thought I'd open it up to other people to add to. The List is called Andyuzz's List - feel free to subscribe to list and put on some kicking toons!
If you don't belong to Spotify - what should I put on (the choice of music is not exhaustive!)

punk? ok we can't agree on definition. anti-establishment; d-i-y; anger; energy; youth. in my opinion you couldn't get more punk rock than lightning hopkins, hasil adkins, link wray or big youth! it's not limited to skinny white boys with loud guitars you know! (i think it was patti smith who said that?) i have this conversation almost daily with my drummer who is franco-african, and to the mainland europeans, punk means a whole different can of worms(thrash/metal/hardcore,etc.) television, for example are not considered punk-rock, whilst to me they are the quintessence of the punk spirit....., it's complicated, but better than worrying about that radio-active leak in japan! now gentlemen(and ladies) please stop having such titillating confabulations. it's way past my bed-time!

1st album is punk and its the only one i like. live at that time they were even more punk, i think the shitty production of the first album neutered some great punk songs.

I played some "vintage" 12 strings recently; a Vox teardrop (it was...ok but at $1500 it should have been godlike in perfection) and a Greco (pretty and nice tone but half the pickups didn't work, the neck was warped and the neck was a little too narrow for my pudgy fingers).
I hear that Dean makes one that is moderately ok and dirt cheap but is a little top heavy (but what do you want for $300?). My brother has a Dano that's pretty good and a green Burns that makes me green with envy.
