I've always loved the bass player of the Dwarves name best:

'He Who Shall Not Be Named'

it still gets a giggle out of me...

Nice choices!

Maybe a bit early but it gives us a chance to catch up on the ones we really shouldn't have missed...

Smith Westerns
Strange Boys and Girls Club

um... pretty short list... I guess the credit crunch stopped me buying as many albums as i would have liked.

I'd forgotten that Adam Curry was a major podcast pioneer. In fact the first time I heard the term was on a radio interview with him, several years ago. Before then I'd just thought he was a mindless MTV pretty boy from the '80s, but he's pretty damn sharp. kopper said:

Yo Ho Ho!

Welcome to Pirate Podcasting, baby! Woo Hoo! I'm getting a boat directly.

A Twitter follower alerted me to this post by the Electronic Frontier Foundation about a company that'sbeen awarded a patent on podcasting. From the article: ... This patent could threaten the vibrant community of podcasters and millions of podcast listeners. We want to put a stop to it, but we need your help. The Volomedia patent covers "a method for providing episodic media." It's a ridiculously broad patent, covering something that many folks have been doing for many years. Worse, it could create a whole new layer of ongoing costs for podcasters and their listeners. Right now, just about anyone can create their own on-demand talk radio program, earning an audience on the strength of their ideas. But more costs and hassle means that podcasting could go the way of mainstream radio -- with only the big guys able to afford an audience. And we'd have a bogus patent to blame. In order to bust this patent, we are looking for additional "prior art" -- or evidence that the podcasting methods described in the patent were already in use before November 19, 2003. In particular, we're looking for written descriptions of methods that allow a user to download pre-programmed episodic media like audio files or video files from a remote publisher, with the download occurring after the user subscribes to the episodes, and with the user continuing to automatically receive new episodes. On Volomedia's Web site they say they filed for the patent Nov. 17, 2003 " almost a year before the start of podcasting," they say. "VoloMedia's intent is to continue to work collaboratively with key participants in the industry, leveraging its unique range of products to further grow and accelerate the market. " Has anyone here been at it since before November 2003? I'm not sure whether this actually is a threat to independent podcasters as the EFF seems to think, or not. But it probably is an issue worth watching.

I love the Phill Spektor Christmas album with Marshmallow World...and of course the Ramones Mery Xmas I don't want to fight tonite!

There's a great James Brown christmas CD that compiles most of the x-mas tunes he did, "Santa's Got A Brand New Bag".

Also the Flying Bomb records "Surprise Package" CD compiling their x-mas 7 inchers is worth a listen.

I like Elvis' Christmas album and The Etiquette Records Christmas album by the Sonics, Wailers and Galaxies. I also like Sock it To Me Santa by Bob Seger and the Last Herd.

Hey everybody! Soon it's christmas time again. Love it or hate it, there's no time for bad tunes on christmas. Anybody thinking back about past christmas partys is cringing whent it comes to the music. But besides "Last Christmas" and highly polished radio crap there's also good stuff. Especially in the Garage/R'n'R/Insrumental genres. Most vinyl-lovers will know the legendary Norton Records holiday 45 series, a true delight in sound and image. If you like classic punk rock and unholy jokes then the "Christmas Album" by THE YOBS (aka THE BOYS) should offer you high class entertainment during snowy winter nights.

"Countdown On Christmas!" is a vinyl only compilation which was released in 2004 by (now defunct) german label Three Kings Records. My favorite on this one are the HIGHER ELEVATIONS, their powerpop sound with indie rock edge is incredible and made me buy their 2 full length albums. Here's the tracklist: Darlington - Merry Christmas The Peacocks - Why not wait 'til Christmas The Neanderthals - Christmas Dance Highschool Dropouts - I don't like Christmas The Higher Elevations - One Christmas Catalogue The Supersuckers - Call it Christmas Time Lulabelles - Rocking around a Christmas tree Colt 45 - Merry Christmas (I don't wanna fight tonight) Adam West - Christmas with the Devil Speedball Jr. - Rudolph's Secret Groovie Ghoulies - Christmas on Mars Cave 4 - Mexican Christmas Sutfin' Lungs - Frosty, the Snowman The Hi *Tops - Mitch and Donna Ray Collins' Hot Club - Feels like Santa

I guess my favorite christmas album is "In the Christmas Spirit" by BOOKER T & THE MG'S. Released in 1966 you get 12 christmas classic instrumentals, some of them played relaxed and slowly, some of them upbeat and funky, but all organ driven. This piece of vinyl will definitely get you in the mood for hanging out in front of the open fire or dance around the christmas tree.

So what's your favouite chrismas records???

It's about ten years that I don't play with a band anymore,but lately I'm going to record something by my own.So I bought some necessary engine machines to add at the old equipment: . -Gibson Les Paul custom black '78 -Fender Telecaster USA (recently bought for that dry Kinks-like sound that I love) -Fender Jazzmaster Japan crafted (good sounds especially clean) -Fender junior pro 15 (Ideal if you need to play at home) -Fender sidekick 25 solid state -Sovtek Big Muff-Boss DS1-MXR distorsion (If you?re looking for fuzz sound, one of these 3 it's good enough for me,using a wah pedal to set the tone,instead of looking for rare and expensive vintage stomps) -Dunlop Cry Baby -EHX-Holy Grail reverb (expensive but excellent if you don't have a real sprig one) -EHX-Wiggler-A kind of vibrato-tremolo-rotary with a two 12AX7 valves;if you put it at the end of the chain(with no need to be switched on),will improve your sound in general. -EHX DeLuxe MemoryMan-It's a good delay with very weird options to experiment,but if you need to set it for a classic slapback,try something less expensive. -A Beyer Dynamic and a Shure mics Recently I took a Fostex 16 Track digital recorder,and a DR880 Boss drum machine... maybe not the ideal for the LO-FI style and attitude..but you spare a drummer and lot of time sometimes. -

The trick is to use reverb so it's not sounding like it's bouncing off walls and it's sounding like words are colliding into each other. Kopper's podcasts are really well balanced and are easilly understandable.

"It's nice to be in with the out crowd."

Ho, shit! I got it MADE in the SHADE!

Ah, right, and how could I forget the yodelling Bezos' Hawaiian Orchestra?! This guy was a rembetiko artist (sort of greek blues from the 30s) and this was his side project. Pardon the silly image, I thought it was the only fitting thing to put there :) Cheeky Greeky said:
