Hear now the"Promise is a promise"LP- but what I just wrote on Thursday:THE EARLY YEARS cd is the best(for me!!).Even the vinyl box-set with the LP "On Fyre;Buried alive;Someone who´ll treat you right now" is great stuff but has not this raw,energetic power of the early years.
All in all LYRES are GREAT-specially L I V E...
November 28, 2011 10:13 AM CST
I've got a mess o' Lyres lore stored in my cranium, from having shared dozens o' boss bills with them over the years, and having booked 'em at the Bay State and elsewhere, and put out Lyres and DMZ 45s back when Chunk Records was a going concern. My most recent shows with them in the Summer of 2010 proved that they've still got it in Spades. You might dig the "Songs the Lyres Taught Us" series from THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW. Five-plus hours of the original versions of songs from Lyres' set lists 1979 to present, bookended with tasty Lyres-type rarities from Mono's secret stash:
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #4: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 1
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #18: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 2
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #19: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 3
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #26: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 4

Lyres and DMZ are absolute classics! Lyres were the first garagepunk show I ever saw. Their live energy is incredible.

The podcasts are a great place to find new bands. Check out Mottey's Garage Black & Blues Show. Shout Bamalama is great too, but I think it's mostly artists of yesteryear.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some new stuff mostly Raw R and B stuff like Bunker Hill style, Nic Curran, Little Richard, JD McPherson. Lo-fi Raw Screamin' Rock and Roll. Any Suggestions? Thank you

Awww and I was hoping for the 1st Dr Feelgood (& the Interns)... which would in my opinion make a better movie?

Hey!

I'm amazed that my musical compatibility with nearly everybody else who's posted so far is either "very high" or "super."

Last.fm is currently the bane of my existence. The site is cool and the features are cool, but the similar artists for our band is all jacked and there's no way to fix it. Pretty frustrating, also frustrating to get them to delete the pictures when your lineup changes and stuff.
I guess it's my fault for ignoring last.fm for the last four years. We used to be on a super extra-punk label and I guess a lot of bands who wanted to be on that label tagged their stuff as being similar to ours and it's not at all. Just as an example listen to this song and then click on any of the "similar artists" - apples to oranges.
Anyone else have their band's stuff up there? Have you ever had this problem? Right now we're trying to get our street team to "scrobble" so that this gets fixed, but they don't say how often they re-set the "similar artists" thingy

Hmmm... Lots of interesting perspectives here. Personally i doubt whether CDs will 'disappear' - certainly not by next year. But they have now joined vinyl and cassette as 'old-tech', but like them, will continue to be produced for the forseeable future. All the formats, digital and hard-copy, can - and do - co-exist, with people using whatever suits or attracts them.
I agree with kopper that, as a long-time radio DJ, playing ALL vinyl on-air was a pain-in-the-arse and that CDs were a boon! We have been mp3-ing our new release CDs at the station for the past seven years or so, and have an on-going job of adding the older CDs to that collection, whilst still keeping our CD/vinyl/tape collection active (we have over 70,000 items from our 31 years of broadcasting, a very cool library to play from, I can assure you!), so, as DJs, we have the choice of using all, or just one, of the various formats (including using our personal iPods). On our shows, the Cat and I generally use CDs because of their 'easiness', with some vinyl (particularly rare local singles or albums) and very occasionally, something from the mp3 collection. We hardly ever use the iPod due to its inferior sound quality... though we do use music sourced from downloads in our "Obscured by..." show, this is because it's the only way we can get hold of some of these rarities to play, so we put up with the sound.
All these formats have their positives and their negatives and each person will use/buy whichever is most relevant to them... but I do agree that there is nothing quite like the feel/look/sound - and even smell - of vinyl products! [I am very proud of the vinyl that my music has been released on - though last year's single had a download card included - but as it was a 'limited release' of 200 (pic sleeve and bonus inserts etc), I am glad it still lives on available to buy as a download-only]
Yep... I'm still a vinyl junkie!!!
November 26, 2011 6:32 AM CST
Horrible, that they should stop CDs. Having to download albums would suck. I hate the industry. Wish they'd keep all the shops open and stop downloads instead.

Playlist Nov 24/2010
1. Dr. Feelgood...Lights Out...from the Sneakin' Suspicion LP from 1977 with Wilko Johnson on guitar. Played this as there's a documentary out on the Feelgoods called Oil City Confidential which is supposed to be really good!
2. Deadly Hearts...Hand Shake...from their brand new self titled CD...from Halifax and features Myles Deck on the tubs.
3. Myles Deck and The Fuzz...Halifax Is Burning...from the Beware! The Fuzz LP from 2007.
4. Weirdonia...Green Tables...Windsor duo whom we're trying to get on Radio WW for a live to air.
5. The Diodes...City Of The Dead...from their just released Action/Reaction CD on Bongobeat Records. This song was probably written with London Ontario in mind, but don't quote me on that.
6. The Diodes...Time Damage....recorded live at Call The Office here in London, Ontario 11/18/11.
7. The Diodes...Child Star...as above.
8. The Diodes...Tennis Again...as above. Recorded by the WW mobile unit. There's also video of this one on The Diodes Toronto facebook page.
9. Black Frame Spectacle...A Line In The Sand...from their Grady Sessions CD. Rockin' 2 piece from just east of London Ontario.
10. The Sadies...Another Day Again...from their 2010 LP Darker Circles. Ugly Things honcho did the liner notes so you know these guys are cool. And they're coming back to Call The Office here in London Ontario Dec 3rd.
11. The Sadies...The First Inquisition Part IV...from the 2007 LP New Seasons. Live these guys always toss in some obscure killer cover as their show ender...anything from The Chocolate Watchbands version of Milkcow Blues to The Birds Leaving Here. Jawdroppers that'll blow your mind!
12. Reigning Sound...Lyin' Girl...from the Abdication For Your Love CD. Remember when leader Greg Cartwright came to Call The Office with The Deadly Snakes a few years back? Didn't think so as there weren't many at that show.
13. Eddie Marshall...Moblin' Baby Of Mine...from the 1989 Detour Records compilation called Hillbilly Houn'Dawgs and Honky Tonk Angels. Pure trashy hillbilly hick music that inspired combos like The Cramps...anyone that can make winking sound like wanking and get away with it is fine by me!
14. Ran-Dells...Martian Hop...speaking of The Cramps, this is from Lux and Ivy's Faves Volume 6. Surf doo wop from Mars!
15. Alex Chilton...Bangkok...from the double LP Decade...or is it Decayed, oh no, that's the Neil Young triple LP. For all of the flood victims in Thailand and it ties into The Cramps theme of the above 2 tunes.
