"You have a washing machine in your BATHROOM?"

Yep, I have a very large bathroom...I can even roll down to the floor from my shower to my washing machine to the sounds of the Savage Kick !!! A cool experience, believe me...
Or even experiencing a Rock'n'roll Suicide standing on top of that groovy white washing machine, ready to jump...or travel all around my so so so large bathroom like I was a Vagabond Garage Rocker...

Well...I'd never thought I'd talk about my bathroom on the net someday...

You have a washing machine in your BATHROOM? Call of the wild pirate radio said:

You really wanna know ?
Well...I listen to them on a Mp3 player in my bathroom, while doing my washing and my laundry.
I wash my teeth with Dan Electreau, undress with Lucy Lux, put my dirty clothes in the washing machine with Brad X, sing in the shower with Rob Baker, shampoo with Lord Muck, shave with Alex Piandes, put my socks on with Michael Kaiser, etc, etc...
Now podcasters, you've been warned...

Thanks Kopper fer the advice...I figured it'd be an uphill struggle to get back into the music reviewin' world but I'm willin' to throw my hat into the ring...a short time after startin' this thread I've been contacted outta the blue by a few groups lookin' fer reviews...crazy timin'...and thanks fer the good luck! kopper said:

By the way, when you get caught up reviewing all of these records you're getting in the mail, how about making a new podcast for us? ;)

Well, good luck with that! Haha.

Seriously, lots of bands are looking for reviews... it shouldn't be too hard to get review material. But then again there are millions of blogs out there nowadays, so you have to make yours stand above the rest and get a good reputation for reviewing. You might just have to start out by reviewing stuff you buy yourself or already have in your collection until you get a name for yourself in the reviewer world.

By the way, when you get caught up reviewing all of these records you're getting in the mail, how about making a new podcast for us? ;)

I have often wondered the same thing. I tried to do a regular "Bug House" DJ night a couple of years ago... I figured it'd be successful since I had a local garage/punk radio show (for almost 11 years, mind you) that I thought had some sort of following, and that people would dig going out and drinking and dancing to this sort of music at a bar. I flyered (shows, record stores, you name it) and did all the Myspace commenting and local email list promoting I could, and I was lucky to get 10 people to show up. So I gave it up and now I just stick to podcasting. ;)

Oh yeah, and create a Blog Network for your blog on Facebook, too. That's a really cool application, I think.

The best way is to get other similar blogs to add yours to their blogrolls (or links sections). Of course you'll need to do that for them in return. It also helps to register your blog on as many blog directories as you can find. And make it easy for people to figure out what your blog's RSS (syndication) feed is. Make it obvious. Then give them easy ways to subscribe (add buttons, email subscription options, etc.). Feedburner (now owned by Google) is great for this: www.feedburner.com

i posted this in the blog section.... i think... but figured this may be a better place for all your input. I need songs with either Bells in the title or Bells in the song. I am doing a 4 hour radio slot with a Bell theme on Xmas. Or at least that is what I would like to do if I can gather enough songs. I'll even give you a- as requested by- on the air too! So for example of bells in a song, there are bells in Godspeed You Black Emperor- Moya. Throw em at me.... and if you HAVE the song, even the more helpful. The record library there is good... but sometimes hard to find certain songs.

Thanks everyone for your help ahead of time!

I am doing a radio show featuring bells. It can either have the word bells in the song title or in the actual song. Either way... I am compiling a list, so please help me out. I am trying to get this for a Xmas show, as I refuse to play actual Xmas songs. Thanks!

Fuckin' sux...I never made it to the US store...
So do I have it right that there will still be someone handlin' Crypt US mailorder?

tim told me he's moving back to germany...sucks...

Cheer PJ, its very close to where we're playing!

'the village idiot' by the sonics...... makes that a 3rd by them!

Yea, I have a few other versions too, but I like it as it's one of the rawer versions, although Berry's will always have to be ranked at the top. Haven't heard the Fleshtone's version though, will check out the show, thanks.

Thanks for posting the MP3s, Mike. "Run Rudolph Run," originally by Chuck Berry, has been covered by lots of folks. It's on that new Fleshtones Xmas album and there's a version by Keith Richards on the new Little Steven's Underground Garage xmas compilation. The Rockin' Guys (an Arkansas band) also covered it many years ago. Check out my own Christmas podcast:

Here's just a few songs I'm putting on the wife's muzak cd for work. Not strictly GP. Lots of Rockabilly, Soul, & even ska/reggae stuff out there too. Humpers "Run Run Rudolph" Sonics "Santa Claus" Kinks 'Father Christmas" Surfaries "Surfers Christmas" Jackie & the Cedrics "Silent Night Rumble" Detroit Junior "Christmas Day" Kaisers "Mery Christmas Loopy Lu" Check out Dave the Spazz's archived shows for all kinds of X-mas goodies. http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/MS

There was lotsa great garage/psychedelic soul rock in Cambodia in the late '60s and early '70s. Much of it was destroyed after the evil Khmer Rouge took over in 1975. The records were smashed and burned and many of the top artists were killed or died in the labor camps. The stuff that survives is real lo-fi -- probably from third or fourth generation cassettes or whatever. The singer in this video is Ros Sereysothea There's a series of albums called Cambodian Rocks that's great. Same type of thing thing happened in Ethiopia in the '70s when the commies took over there. The Ethiopiques series has some great stuff that lots of us here might like. My favorite of the ones I've heard (there's 20 some CDs in the series so far) is Volume 8, SWINGING ADDIS.

yeah, this is really getting good!!!

Don't know who this is or what genre it is... But oichang0198 on youtube has a bunch of these weird Jap hippies hanging around wharehouses playing steel drums and jew harps...
