Stratosonics   Sonic Boom Boogie

The Monsters Pop Up Yours

Left Lane Cruisers Junkyard Speedball 

               plus more

The Dyes' first CD , That's probably from 2010 , but it was such a lousy year for new releases , we'll make it two .... The Stones 2 CD "sOME gIRLS " reissue set , Alarm Clocks -Live , Stooges -Raw Power Live (Does'nt even touch on what they're now capable of , but , nice to have. ) , "Destroy That Boy " (COMP.) , DAVE BERRY 2 cd retrosopective , Rationals (Same), Ray Charles Live (re -issue , bonus cuts.), Jerry Lee Lewis "Mean Old Man" , Fever Tree Live , Human Beinz - Live in Japan , Stones - Exile re-ish. Kind of a gyp , widely bootlegged tracks , with new vocals , hyped as "Lost outtakes" , but , fuck me , they still sound good. DON WAS HAS MADE THE STONES RELEVANT AGAIN. I mean , in THIS day and age.

Thee Mighty Caesars are a personal fave.

They are all pretty great!  I wish the MBEs would have lasted a bit longer.  Though the Spartan Dreggs seem pretty cool as well.  Also there were the Blackhands..

 I liked Thee Headcoat Sect , if only because Keith Grant and Don Crane were in it.

It's funny you should say that , an old ex - friend and I were listening to "Alternative Ulster " , and he heard it as "A tail of RED LOBSTER " ! Jake Burns is , or was , living here in town...I wonder if anyone ever told him that.

"a tale of a lobster" ~ an old friends mom's rendition of Stiff Little Fingers 'alternative ulster'

The Devil Dogs "Saturday Night Fever" LP has that party background noise going on... "Big Fuckin' Party!"

I know I've heard many others over the years, too, but that's the only one coming to my mind at the moment.

Chuck Barris ? HA HA. Good call , but , no , I think it's that one guy , one of The "Action" Dancers. Don't know , but , he was one of two , MAYBE three nonwhite Dancers/Emcees on the show. I think he was East Indian .....Dick Clark fought racial/ethnic mixing on his show for years , while Alan Freed was crucified for doing the opposite.  By the mid - 60's , I think , Clark had to bend a little. But , I re-checked. That's not Barris. Dug his two - layered Mod haircut ,tho'.    Sorry to get on the soapbox. I just resent hearing Clark get all the credit , when Freed , Dewey Phillips , Hoss Allen and others held big neon signs around their necks that read "BEAT MY ASS AND SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE !!", while Clark was washed clean by the blood of the lamb , by neutering R'n'R AT EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY.

This first volume is priceless, the stuff following it doesn't do as much for me, but just the fact that this music *exists* is pure magic. Parallel World, indeed...

Dude, just use the "media" embed button. This site doesn't use some kinda funky BBcode.
