If you're anywhere near NJ he'll be here tomorrow night and my surf garage instro band is opening: http://garagepunk.ning.com/xn/detail/833623:Event:727518?xg_source=activity

First, you can listten 2 tunes of Eight Ball Scrratch which was Elka's band (before Trashwomen) at youtube.

 

I think both tunes weren't released., but both comp. "LockedIn TO Surf & Rock 'N' Roll Instrumentals each Part 1 & 2 has their tracks, and both are killer!! (Live recordings, though.)  After that, I agree with Kopper.

There are really only two LPs, but both are essential. The Trashwomen vs. Deep Space on Repent Records and Spend the Night With... on Estrus.

More info on live albums, singles, comps, etc. can be found on their page on Grunnen Rocks:

Was shown a few songs by these guys the other day, thought they were fantastic...any guidance on where to start with them album wise?? I need to hear more!

Agreed, but getting them in synch afterwards can be a little tricky... I know, I've done several!

Even with two identical digital devices, they're going to be a little bit out of synch after an hour... 

As the saying goes: In theory, theory and practice should be identical; In practice, they rarely are.

One thing you should consider is getting a line in on the mixing board during the show and then mix that together with your live recording from in front of the stage. Talk to the soundman and see if he'll let you plug an iPod or something into it to record off the board. You won't get the crowd noise, but the mix will be much better and you won't have the audio volume distortion that you will get when trying to record from the crowd. Mixing them together later will give you some crowd noise (cheering, etc.) mixed in with a much better live music recording.

Hey, a great parody is a great parody, regardless of the target.

hilarious! i'd say it's a bit late for a spiritual awakening bruce-y boy... (and yes, i'm one of those snobs that hate the boss, sorry people. many boyfriend's have attempted the conversion. no can do.) but a very interesting article none-the-less :)

As much as I like Springsteen, I have to agree with this...I just don't buy into that "working class hero" persona anymore.  He started that trip back in 1978 with the "Darkness" album, and back then I think he was very sincere about it, but now he's just too far removed from that reality to grasp it.  

Besides, most working class people vote Republican nowadays, so he's definitely not reaching that audience with his message.  Most of them shape their opinions based on what they watch on Fox News, or what they hear on Glenn Beck's radio show.

How will the struggling immigrant workers scraping by in the 23rd-century carbonate mines on Mars afford to go to a stadium & pay $$$ - $$$$ while he pretends he's performing for the working class?

From MY neck 'o the woods.....Australia.......WOLFY & THE BAT CUBS.....farout man :):):)

Jim Jones Revue

Furthermore, The White Stripes are a fine band, up until 'Elephant'.  Those first few albums were great!

The thing I can't down with in regards to the new crop of 'garage' bands is they are all so fucking wimpy!  Where's the danger, the excitement, the punk rock?  I like psych, and I like some stoner-y kinda stuff too, but I need some energy and passion and spite and hate in my rocknroll to really get me going.  I rarely feel an element of danger bands live shows these days, it's either straight up 'bug' music (see: The Flintstones) or it's just so wimpy that I can't get behind it.  I don't need a GG Allin show, but c'mon, make me feel like I might get hurt if I get a little too close to the stage, y'know?!  GIMME DANGER LITTLE STRANGER

Oh yeah, and Deja Voodoo!!!

Pretty sure the gateway drug for me was 'Heavens to Murgatroyd...' by Thee Headcoats!

Got any more lyrics?..........this is tantalizing.

Eegah!

just finished cheetah's book - yeah, it is great... i tried to read it slowly to make it last! but i had to finish it... love the band, love the guy's honesty... recommended

Cole - Buy me beer!

GG's early stuff is the sort I can take to any indie disco and people'll cut a rug to it. It's just good power pop, simple as that. Some of it's even quite humourous. Gimme Some Head and Assface make me laugh, just for their utter ridiculousness.

The later stuff is so bad it's good, just for its gonzo comedy value.

Sitting in for a friend who does a psych/prog/experimental industrial show tonight at 8pm.  I'm feeling out of my element to a degree.  Send me your positive waves.

Certainly the GFOP (godfather of PUNK) !

Great pictures!  Puts things in perspective... I think Iggy and Alice were on the same wavelength at the time. Spurred on by Jim Morrison. I think Iggy's style became more of the punk model of 70s-80s

Fahrvergnügen

Yes!!! Great list!!!
