I'm there, under a secret identity. http://www.last.fm/user/robotclaw I don't do much there, but I've come across a couple of cool people and a couple of cool bands.

I never use it, but... http://www.last.fm/user/kopper65 Then there's this group on Last.fm, too: http://www.last.fm/group/Garage+Punk

I <3 last.fm! http://www.last.fm/user/needlesnpinsfm

http://www.last.fm/user/tobilynne What features are you having trouble with?

Yes I am but I'm kind of stupid and can't figure some features out

My apologies if this has already been discussed (did a search, though, and couldn't find anything). Is anyone else using Last.fm?

I'm at work right now, but if I remember correctly, mine is an SL-1200 MK2. They're all pretty similar, though. Just search eBay for Technics 1200 and you should find all kinds. Ryan Katastrophe bought this baby a few years ago. Yeah, they're expensive new (which is why I recommend buying a used one on eBay)! And for a stylus, get a Stanton 500 E MK II from Garage-A-Records online. Foul & Fair Records said:

Noted! looking up the 1200 there seems to be a lot postfixed letters/#'s, which model is the one for me?

You can't go wrong with a Technics 1200, or check out the Vestax Guber, a very cool little turntable. The Guber is belt-driven though so if you plan on DJing it's not he way to go.

Sorry Rod. That 2 hours flew by, and honestly that question never entered my mind. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

"Stay With Me" by the Dictators. Andy Climax said:

The Oblivians - Bad Man

'Parchment Farm' by the mighty Blooooooooo Cheeeeeeeeeeeer! gotta be high up there, right???

For the past week it has been Esquece by Os Ekos. I really can't get enough of that song, even though I know only a very small amount of Portuguese. As for all time, Johnny Thunders One Track Mind gives me goosebumps every god damn time. Also, I get shaky when I hear the Searcher's version of Needles and Pins.

Right now my favorite rock n roll song of all time is "Ghost On the Highway" by the Gun Club.

But with either one, it will take at least two months before you see any loot. iTunes and Amazon take 6 to 8 weeks to report sales figures, apparently. With the new Malarians (the US garage band, not the Spanish ska band) reissues, I used Tunecore for IN THE COOL ROOM and CD Baby for KNOW/FINISHED IN THIS TOWN. The jury's out on which one is better, but with Tunecore, you get Amazon CD-on-Demand, where fans can get CDs of your mp3 album.

If you want to do this, use TuneCore. They're great, relatively inexpensive, and they'll get your music on all of the main music retail sites. By the way, there's a topic about offering digital downloads on the Labels & Distros group, too (just an FYI).

CD Baby is good for CDs. It has a program to get your albums onto iTunes, Amazon and other download services. When I joined a few years ago it only cost $30-$35 to get you set up. I just have one CD (recorded in the early 80s) and I've made dozens of dollars. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/terrell

I thought all rock'n'rollers went straight to hell! What's this "heaven" shit? ;)

RIP Lux, you will surely be missed.

But this one was like a bad car wreck... S.Law said:

I seem to remember it being a tad more fruity but...this might be it:

This gave me a headache. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Well Cabaret Voltaire were weird so I'm not surprised they knew it. I'm sure their fans didn't.

Here's what it sound like.

van halen - you really got me

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I love the Pixies but the Yardbirds version is unsurpassed.

I don't know if it's technically a classic, but "Feral" by the Gories.
