    • It is for sure a "cute" song, but I gotta agree: it is one of the cooler/fun tunes I've heard around lately from a "new" band.

      Yeah, sorry, I really don't hear it.  I don't even hear obnoxiousness.  Everything about it just seems too cute.

      Seriously? This is one of the best songs I've heard in years. Catchy, trashy, slightly obnoxious... exactly what I love about garage rock:

      Art student rock...that's a good one.  I'm gonna use that to describe someone like No-Bunny.  Fun for some but I don't see what's so great about it.

      Until today I had never heard of scion, nor would I have thought that it's a car brand. So I learned at least something from that documentary. Fred and Tody Cole are great as always, and thanks to the Spits there is  a 2nd good band included. Furthermore I got the impression that jay retard was a total idiot, just like the guy from the smith westeners and that what some people call garage I'd call art-student rock. But it could be worse: UK Garage Music

    • Stuff like this is started by a fan that happens to have a job that lets them indulge in their own weirdness. I wonder how many "garage" punkers own those boxy cars--either way they put on free shows, pay bands (money/alcohol), and keep rock and roll alive. I especially like the part where the chick calls out the guy from the Black Lips for living in Chicago instead of ATL-- Edit that out!

    • I still have a soft spot for KISS.  You have to keep in mind that I was in elementary school during their 70s heyday, and I loved their Marvel Comics image.  They were the first band that I ever got into.

      Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I can easily understand why so many people hated them so much musically.  At their absolute best, they were just below mediocre.  They had a few moments of genius, but that was it.

      Still, I love watching live clips of them on youtube, because they were fun, if nothing else.

    • I'm surprised you don't like "Hurdy Gurdy Man."  It's one of my favorite psychedelic songs.

    • Another vote for american pie. 

      Ms Springolator said:

      I've Never Been to Me - Charlene. Personally I really wish she'd never been to a recording studio.

      American Pie - Don McLean. If all was right with the world, he would have drove his Chevy to the levy, accelerated off the edge and then sunk to the bottom of some fathomless depth of water, where neither he nor his horrendous song would be heard again.

      Where Do You Go to My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt. The song makes me vomit, and that's comment enough.

    • Hey,
      don't know if you already wrapped this up, or if someone else has sent you something already, but I could slap something together amd send you some scribbles, so you can see if it fits your likes. I could do that until Tuesday late nite? How does that sound?
      Anyhow, cool of you to ask the GP hideout lot to help out. :)

    • Hey, that's pretty cool!

      Kind of a different experience than hanging out with your favorite band but we played Otto's Shrunken Head on Fri. and we were the last of three bands so we did an extended set.  Near the end this guy comes up and asks if he can play something with us, so we just made up a bluesy type of song on the spot and freestyled some lyrics, people were dancing, it was a real cool time.  Anyway after the gig the drummer comes up and tells me, "Hey that was Frank Infante".  So, I thought that was pretty gnarly.  We talked with him out on the street for awhile and he was really cool.  The End.

    • Always was, is, and always shall be is a great record. Most of his other records are crap (especially his records from late 80s/early 90s).

      Btw. If youre interested in the records with Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson backing him up I think they are called GG Allin and the Motor City Bad Boys.

      whatwave dave said:

      GG's earliest recordings are actually quite good and many on this forum might actually enjoy them. As well as most of the Bay City Rollers songs...LOL..

       

      Track down anything that was released on Orange Records...most of that stuff is late 70's punk/powerpop oriented and some of this actually features members of the MC5 backing him up. The LP Always Was, Is And Always Shall Be collects a lot of this material, but not easy to find....anything after that is pretty much predicatable GG Allin fodder for the kiddies.
