I met Allan Merrill last year at a Group Sound Forum. What an amazing career he's had , from becoming the first major White, Male solo singing star in Japan , to....Hell , what's the name of the Group Sound band her was in(?) , to working with members of  The Spiders , Golden Cups , Tigers , etc., and Tetsui Yamamuchi (I know , I spelled it wrong) before the latter joined Free and The Faces , to forming Japan's first Glam BAND , Vodka Collins (Long out of print on Man's Ruin , but, look for 'em , anyway.) to becoming a star with Arrows in England . He said they did very well on the continent , too , but , Mickie Most never got them the U.S. deal he'd promised them. BUT , they replaced The Rollers on their TV show (Tho they were'nt allowed to release anything at the time.).  And , this song , eclipsed by a cover version , about 6 OR 7 YEARS LATER.

The Velvet Tinmine comp was mentioned on the first page. Did anyone post this yet:

Funny thread, and the funniest is that we non-native speakers are always trying to interpret, decipher or fitting any possible phrases to the vocal melody. One hilarious example has to do with RATM's "killing in the name". In the chorus he sings "now you do what they told ya" and the phonetics are quite close to the phrase in Spanish "la guatona tetona" which would mean something like "the big-titted fatty". When a kid, whenever it was broadcast we would always laugh and sing it aloud.

And, there's another example with Grease's "You're the one that I want" but it's a bit gross.

Cheers.

The Francs cover of "Got No Mind" by the Flashcubes...

Oh wait, that's my band... sorry... (you can hear it on my page!!!)

OK, for real:

Blondie doing the Nerves's "Hanging on the Telephone"

Toy Doll's "blue suede shoes"

Cheers.

I've always liked the cover's album "Garage Punk" by "The Vibrators". Some really cool stuff on there, won't list any track's, i think they're all great.

Here's a link to the album on spotify for those of you who use it: http://open.spotify.com/album/6kbdVPNYclNXmoydIh0V8I

Ramones' Acid Eaters album is a great one-stop thrill ride full of garage/punk covers (and a great gateway album for squares).

Nice choices - I'll have to look up that Renegades track (I love Bill Haley).

I had one more:

Nashville Pussy - First I Look At The Purse by The Contours.

The Dolls' seldom heard killer verson of Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" (Tho' Eddie is plenty Punk with me) . There's a  version on a bootleg that's better than the one on "Red Patent Leather" (A glorified bootleg , anyway.) . Better 'n Sid , but , arguably not as good as Slade's medley , that and "Pistol Packin' Mama" , BASED , OF COURSE , ON THE GROOVIES, whose version I like , BUT SLADES' VERSion destroys everything in it's path.

Lord Muck!! said:

Many thanks for your kind remarks, Muckas...!!

Nuthin's been pulled, Chris... just had to focus on other things for a while is all.

I got a the raw mats for a next Nasty Grind which I'll get out for June. It'll have some proper good tunes, you have been warned...

Till then I'm off to Vancouver where I'm gonna get Lady Muck legitimized... :)

Hey, and thanks for the downloads of old shows while I've been inactive, that's been very encouraging...

Muck!!

Good riddance, indeed. 

The podcasts alone are an integral part of this community and, I think, why a lot of people keep coming back to the HideOut.  To try and argue that the podcasts are a bad thing is bad blood in the community.

Been using it for a while; Discovered some great bands on lastfm in the past, here's my page: http://www.last.fm/user/flytheflag

Hello, I am a real intensive LastFm user...over the years I've discovered tons of good music and the website really works well.

I really want to scrobble everything I listen :-)

Anyway here I am with my personal profile: http://www.lastfm.it/user/yellowratberni

and with the profile of The Mighties: http://www.lastfm.it/music/The+Mighties

In Italy is not even free, I've to pay 3 euros for month, but it worths the money for sure.

Listen to the June 10th show here!:  http://cjamlog1.cjam.ca/mp3dirnew/381-The_Trip-20120610-0030-t1339284600.mp3

The setlist:

I was just asking in the group what happened to the Get Drunk and play records show...what a pity, I loved it :-(

We use facebook for the dissemination of our music, shows, etc ... Today all the bands should use social networks to promote their musical works. It is people will hear them or not! Hugs from Brazil Eles Mesmos!

definitely gonna check out some of these blogs!

my blog is bigbadmean.com... i'm currently hosting a mix cassette swap, so check it out!
