    • If you like the Fleshtones, Joe Bonomo wrote an eye-opening history on the band called "Sweat: the Story Of the Fleshtones, America's Garage Band". It's amazing what this band has been through, and yet still keep on going. Even if you have just a casual interest in their music, you would come away from this a dedicated fan. There's a complete discography not just of the band, but the side projects as well. Hell, there's even a list of all the cover songs they've ever done at their live shows. Plus, when you buy the book, their label, Yep Roc gives you an online code to get an unreleased track, free tracks from their albums "Beachhead" and "Do You Swing", and a 10 song sampler from the label itself.

    • If you want a good read on garage rock 'n' roll from the late '80's to say 2001, Eric Davidson of the New Bomb Turks wrote an excellent book called "We Never Learn: the Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001". It covers the scene all right, detailing the histories and insights on bands like the Dwarves, Gories, Supersuckers, Devil Dogs, Cynics, Mummies, Rocket From the Crypt, Hives, Nashville Pussy, etc., plus labels and fanzines that were a part of it all. It even comes with an online code to get a free downloadable comp of 20 choice cuts!

    • important is a BIG word, but for me Mick Collins the man. he challenged me to look into other genres; rhythm&blues, soul, funk, punkrock, pop. for the big audience Jay Reatard is the man

    • You should also check out Pat Todd (former lead man of the Lazy Cowgirls) and the Rank Outsiders. Good stuff there, as well.

      And not necessarily "cowpunk," but the Reigning Sound and the Compulsive Gamblers both have some cool countrified garage tracks.

    • Show #334: "The Eggman Collection #100"

      Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows called The Eggman Collection, which originally was an old tape/cd collection of songs that I like. Now since I have little time due to work and stuff, I made it into a radio program. It's a big mix of songs I like, no matter what they are, what genre, style, or era...whatever...If I like it, I play it. This provides a big potpourri of music from all sorts of different artists, and also brings out several guilty pleasures you wouldn't expect me to listen to. TONIGHT IS EGGMAN COLLECTION #100!! Tune in two weeks from now for a special 100th Eggman Collection Special compiling the BEST OF THE BEST of the first 100 shows!! But still, tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 100th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Strange, Nirvana, The Koala, The McCoys, Bojoura, Kevin Ayers & The Whole World, Billy Nicholls, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Byrds, Fickle Pickle, Michael Rother, Sabana Breeze, The Buckinghams, Deep Purple, Gandalf, Tim Buckley, Electric Light Orchestra, Tales Of Justine, Faust, Alice Cooper and many many more!!!

    • If you're still in Oregon, you should definetly hit Portland every now and then as it has a good number of record stores that still have decent records mostly in the Broadway district.

      I was in college before I got to listen to garage. Montana can be something of a cultural void. So working radio in Eugene I heard Thee Headcoatees, Billy's girl band with Holly Golightly. Then the Cramps, the Candysnatchers, April March (& the Makers), I still don't know shit and that's all I know for sure. I do love the sound though.

    • I would have to say that back when I was about 7 years old.  Going through mom's records, she only had a few.  I found the Shangri Las, "Leader of the Pack"  and have been hooked since then.

    • I normally play through one of these (picture stolen)

       

      but I when I play with a group, I use a Vox AC30 reissue that is part solid state and has one tube to make it sound real.  I love it.

    • get yourself two plain heavy glasses. Make a sandwich with the vinyl and then you have two options:

      - put it in the oven, low temperature and door open for some minutes, always keeping an eye on it

      - or in a warm sunny day, make the same and let the sun do the job

       

      That's a good record that deserves to be saved!

    • Hey guys I guess this would be the best place for this question. I have a really nice copy of The In Crowd - Nothing you do / Midnight Hour on Ronn. It's got a big hump in the middle of it. I'd really like to repair it but have no idea on how to go about doing that without screwin up the record. Any good solutions?
