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. :)

yea! I saw him years ago-the show was billed as Doo Rag but it was just Bob.  I have some DR stuff-it's awesome!

Hasil is the god of one man bands.

I don't see how anybody can beat Hasil Adkins, but I also dig Joe Hill Louis and John Schooley & His One-Man Band.

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

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.

Old time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger
If I could turn back time - Cher
Allstar - Smashmouth

Enjoy it, and thanks for listening! http://garagepunk.ning.com/profiles/blogs/kicks-from-the-boot-18-garage

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.

How 'bout "I'm Allergic to Flowers" by Jefferson Handkerchief?!

A hilarious parody of hippies ;D

My baby is gentle and she's fine

She wears a button on her shoulder saying 'I'm a flower child'

That's a groovy thing to be

If she wasn't loving me

'Cause I start sneezing for hours..

I'm allergic to flooowweeerrrsss!!

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!

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.

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.

I was a huge GG fan back in the day. Everyone is dead on about his older stuff being his best. I would agree that his acoustic is fairly good, Blood For You and Sitting in This Room are a couple of my faves. He does have alot of ppl that hate him and his music, but I don't think he would have it any other way.

Don't Talk To Me is a super fun tune!

Always Was, Is and Always Shall Be LP (1980) is indeed fantastic. There are a couple of other early 7" EPs that are worth hunting down, too. The S/T 7" on Orange Records from 1980 is one, GG Allin & The Scumfucs 7" on Blood Rec. (1982?) is another.

gettin' too good fer us, Pally?

Here's hopin' your just taking a break...

I emailed him about it two days ago. No reply. I have no idea what's going on.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for this to be a hoax and the hood to lift on it, with all of you in the know. Haha, now that would be a mean thing!
