I love hollowbodys for multiple reasons. I own a right handed flipped to a lefty 67 gibson es-330 and a lefty Korean casino. for at home and rehearsal I put miles on my casino, and for recording and shows I use my gibson. one they are extremely versatile guitars, also i love p90 pickups, and fully hollowbodys and i can imagine semi hollow body's are extremely light. one you've played enough with your amp settings you can really get tricky with controlled feedback. the end!

Here in Europe people are talking about Ty Segall like he's the new Jay Reatard. I think he's an interesting guy, some Sic Alps stuff is really cool, Epsilons (Ty with Charlie Moonheart) is very nice, his solo-output has some highlights. I LOVE the split lp he did with Black Time, and his T-Rex album on Goner is just amazing. This week I listened to his new album "Goodbye Bread", out on Drag City. I think it's THEE disappointment of 2011. What a waste of vinyl this is. It's just boring and nagging. What do you think?

I think it had more to do with the fact that relatively speaking, the LP was still kind of the new kid on the block. The concept of the single was as old as the first commercially recorded music. Singles were on the radio and what people cared more about. Also the artists weren't trying that hard to make cohesive albums and were promoting singles way more than albums. The real age of album oriented rock only began kicking in with the later 60's and the rise of FM rock radio.

The reason singles were so important in the sixties was that LP's were so expensive. Another reason was the already mentioed filler tracks, I'd hear people saying how they'd bought an LP and there was a load of boring crap on it. And they wouldn't buy anything else by them.

The cover of "Down the Road Apiece" is better than any other version I've ever heard.

I love the first 2 albums and have a really soft spot for them since my Mum used to dance around the house to them when I was but a small boy. When I left home I took those albums with me and the poor lady has never had them back...

Not so sure about that...I remember albums were $3, less on sale. That was about an hour's pay for your average crappy job, just like the cost of a CD or album DL is about an hour's pay for the same crappy job today. More or less. Singles were something like 60 cents. So I don't really think that was it. The filler, yeah, maybe. But I think it was a holdover from 78s, which had been the standard for decades. Plus, radio was a strong factor, they played the hits, that's what the singles were.

THEE CORMANS!!!

I like the last 2 songs off this album but i dont liek any of these songs better then my least favorite songs on their previous albums

my favorite song is mr. driver.

check out Leadbelly if you're into the old delta blues sort of thing.  He played acoustic 12-string but it's still great stuff!

From what I understand, Burns is just starting to distribute in the U.S. again.  I have mine on order and it's going to take a while to be delivered.  It was impossible to find a 12 string in a store to test drive or even get someone to get a price and delivery date not just on a Burns but any 12 string.  I finally  went through a local dealer that the stateside Burns rep pointed me to.  I wonder why so many people order things on line (sarcasticlly).

Great Fookin' Geetar mate!   I have one of those on my wish list, last I heard was that Burns wasn't gonna ship them to the US or other countries anymore.  

 

Congratulations!

Burns? GOOD CALL!!!! I Have a Dano, which I like a lot, but I have tried a couple of Burns and they were great guitars....just a bit out of my price range......I am with Mole, but would add some of the bands on the Hideout comps....particularly The Ugly Beats on Vol.2.....

I just saw the Cynics play and that guy used an electric twelver on many songs.

Byrds, Byrds and more Byrds. The Dovers, Roosters, Guilloteens - basically tons of Californian folk rock/garage, '65-'67.

I just ordered a 12 string electric guitar (Burns Double Six).  What are some things I should listen to to rip off err.. I mean, for inspiration?  The Searchers are high on the list.  Maybe you know some cool things that I don't know or forgot about.

Dangerous game is the sound of a Shangri-la grown up, do you know if she has any plans for s follow up?

The Shangri-las are my favourite girl band of that era and Mary has the most sexy speaking voice on record, just listen to past, present and future!

Brian Auger for the Hammond groove.

Alan Price when he was with The Animals.I could listen to the solo in House Of The Rising Sun over and over.

What about the other one: Electronically Processed Mono, which will give a stereo effect on stereo equipment! I.E. I heard a stereo import of "Introducing the Beatles" and there's all extra reverb and shit. whereas the stereo version of the UK "please Please me" was- instruments to the left, vocals to the right. Which i think was basically taken from a 2-track recording type tape machine, (all they had at Abbey Road at the time). I love split stereo mixes though

Well, if you like zombies and garage, I recommended to you the new Los Magnificos video. They are the best mexican garage band right now.
