    • I think I'll go for the early beatles. Just simple rock n roll songs instead of strange sitar plucking. But that doesn't mean that every later beatles song. Some are even better than the early ones in my opinion (Julia, Taxman, Magical Mystery Tour). And also, when is something early and when is something later?

    • Which do you prefer?  I know this is probably a pointless question to ask at a place like this, but I'm still curious.  Maybe I'll be surprised and find out there are a lot of "Sgt. Pepper" fans around here after all.

       

      Speaking for myself, I lean toward the early material.  Not that I have any problems with the later material, but I just prefer the band's short and simple pop tunes from their early days.  To me, those songs are pure pop magic.

       

      BTW, I decided to bring this up because I was listening to "Breakfast with the Beatles" on the Sirius Underground Garage channel yesterday, and because it was the day of the 45th Super Bowl, Chris Carter decided to play all of the Beatles' 45s in chronological order (45th Super Bowl, 45 records, get it?).  I lost the signal after the first hour, because I'm located in a spot where I lose the signal at certain times (I suppose it's because the satellite is changing its position), but that's OK because I heard a lot of my favorite early hit singles.

    • Here is a whiny complaint from an ingrate. :) There are just too many awesome podcasts. Wayyy too many with similar form and content to listen to them all. You have to sift through hours of stuff to find ones you really like. I either listen to podcasts while I'm exploring the Hideout site, or on my iPhone while I'm out stumbling around. So I only have time to basically choose one or two and go with those, which leaves me sticking to the same two or three podcasts at all times. FlyingSsaucer RnR is always good, Koppers' show is always good, I like the Surfcast. Other than that, despite there being tons of great shows here, (Get Drunk and Play Records gets honorable mention) I don't check as many out as I'd like to. MAYBE there's a way to organize the podcasts into, like, categories so people can find the ones they're interested in more easily? For example I'm mostly interested in hearing vintage 50s and 60s stuff, some rockabilly, some garage, some surf, some old greasy soul/RnB, and newer bands that sound like that. Not so much interested in KBD style punk and noise-punk. So I'd prefer to avoid that stuff, where other people might want to go straight for that and avoid the vintage stuff. I dunno, I'm probably being a dick. But there you have it. :)

    • I get them through iTunes and stick them on my iPhone. My issue with Garage Punk.com is that it's an embarrassment of riches. There are wayyy too many podcasts to listen to them all, and some of them are fairly similar in form and content, so you have to sift through them to figure out which ones you really like. I usually listen to Surfcast, Flying saucer RnR, Kopper's show and that's about it. I like alot of the other podcasts (Get Drunk And Play records is awesome) but just don't have the time to shove them all in my ear holes.

    • I'm gonna agree on this one. I too, used to have an Ampeg Reverberocket. I was using a Gibson LP Jr at the time and it sounded amazing through this. I have an Epiphone Galaxie all tube from the mid 90s now, which is pretty close.

    • I saw Subourbon Son a year or so ago and he was great! I hope he's still doing it.

      Although he wasn't a full one-man band, Cranford Nix(R.I.P.) and his guitar could really control and thoroughly entertain a crowd, even those who had never heard of him.

    • I agree with you. The only punk rock album by the clash is the first the one. The rest is punk-influenced at best.

      Nice artwork ID very cool.
      Can I put them on my various sites with links to your GaragePunk page?
      I think all the followers of my show would dig seeing your work so I'll wait for your nod of approval.
      Thanks

    • Hey,
      I enjoyed the stuff they came up with! The show filled with bootlegs was great too of course.

      I put some drawings of Lux together and made a drawn tribute, (belated, thanks to activities in the other life...), you can see it here on my Hideout Blog: http://ning.it/fWiUL0

      Thanks ID

      Appreciate your offer, I've got two lovely ladies who've put seperate covers together so I reckon I'm covered BUT in the future I'm changing the format of show away from the themed show to a more looser format! And I'm more than happy to shw off yours or any other GP's work. I do enjoy looking for images myself but it would be good to promte any artist/graphic listeners out there.

      Well I only listened the album once and I was .... petrified.
      Now I'm a bit skeptical (I have to listen to it again) and I wonder: what about the live act ??
      Did Mick Collins or someone else in the band say something about it ?

    • Geez, you know I love the Funk and I'm glad people do too. The stuff you named shows that. Just saying, it would turn those people off on a high rate that are purely into loud trash (therefor the percentage - it's not aimed at the world population or aware music listeners. Sorry if I didn't make that clear). :)

       

      + The Dirtbombs may be looked at by the younger Techno crowd outside Detroid for a second with this album and all it's remixes. But they won't cut into it and see it as a good thing, that would lead them to listen to other material by them. They will jump back to their David Guetta derivate and think it's the shit. Just my lame-ass prediction though...

       

      Anyhow, I know I'm sticking my neck out with this and don't mean to compare, but why this interest me and why I give it the genral "OK" button, is because: I see this happening in a larger swap of work, along with Mr. Quintron, Hunx's earlier Gravy Train!!!! involvement and the SUICIDE/punk connection. Hell, even the later New Wave thing. Bear in mind, that's only my corner to come from though. "People" always hate that stuff when it's out - everyones got their personal likes, so what the hey.

      Even Muddy Waters got shit for his Electric Mud back then and he just played the same cool stuff as always. But I'm drifting off... Finally, I'm happy these guys step out of their comfort zone, playing round with the form, should we dig it or not.

      I'm still waiting for Mick to go all Funk, like he said he would some time ago. Now that would be boring to 92% of ... hmmm, everyone.

      Are you kidding me? Funk is a lot more popular than that. Just look at how successful King Khan & the Shrines have been! People love George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, not to mention James Brown. Hell, there've always been funk cover bands in St. Louis, even. And let's not forget the whole funk/rap/metal craze of the late '80s, either. Fishbone used to be a good ska band until they jumped on that funk bandwagon.

    • A note to let garage rock podcasters know that most of The Brymers songs have been uploaded to Music Alley for podcast play.  I believe there are over 60 tracks - many from the 60's.  Feel free to use any of the songs.
