I make the idea that u guys were playing b52 bombers.. we had bristol blehmein night fighters! I DUNNO, the fact that the war had ended, still there were no facts about what daddy did in Africa or Italy etc, and no one dared challenge the goverment, or even talk about anything related. The kids were not getting answers to why mum had to always take her lil' helper, and why sometimes daddy shouted and screamed in his sleep, 20 years on. The kids had to find their own thing, nothing was provided, like i say, we had less to diversify and choose from. You guys over there had heavy machines man! it rubs off on youth. Faster heavier, i guess our sound was lighter, but because we didn't have that much to tune into, we could make it that wee bit more brit sounding.. And.. u guys picked up on the german fighter leather jacket thing as early as the late 40-s man! an early hells angels image.. we didn't! it all sort of relates no? And to nowadays also no? mmmmm...

Yeah I'm with you on that thread Freddi, The Pretty Things, The Downliners Sect, The Yardbirds...are absolutely top quality names in my book, and of course what you are saying wasn't necessarily just the preserve of British groups, since you are taking into consideration the likes of mighty Dutch beat-punk-psychers Q65 - and of course you would have to add to that the OUTSIDERS - only one of the most innovative, superbly illuminating beat-psych era groups to ever have walked the planet - but certainly it's true for a lot of the UK groups, and especially those who had more than a modicum of forward-thinking philosophy, or at least stance and attitude, that things like production values would become more and more important as time marched on. You just need to wrap ears around everything from The Pretties' 'Emotions' LP, The Yardbirds' eponymous '66 blaster, and onto the likes of The Pink Floyd's phenomenal 'Piper' set and The Pretties' monumental 'S.F. Sorrow...Pure dead brilliant as we say in Scotland!

What do you think about the phenomenon of British blues invasion?
It's just a geographic distinction or it actually had peculiar differences
from the other musical waves of that period?

Personally I love most of these bands as
Downliners sect,Q65,Pretty Things,Creation,Kinks,Blossom Toes etc.
It's just my impressions, I think they were maybe less "straight and punchy"
instead of american garage bands,but lil' bit "soulful and pop".
And the production work was a less ratified and much sought-after..
As they inluenced lots of actual british bands in their unique style and sounds.

I don't mean worse or better, just two sides of the coin.

thee head shoppe.. get yours at the head shop!

Andy James on the Missing Links' "Wild About You" - the scream just before the end section still gives me goosebumps.

I've been on a Wreckless Eric kick the past couple of days... He deserves to be on this list. He sounds like he has his foot stuck in a meat grinder when he gets going.

Wow - Can't believe no one has mentioned The Electric Chairs 'Blatantly Offenzive'.

Anyway, First Ramones, Damned Damned Damned, The Boys (s/t), Vibrators' 'Pure Mania', Buzzcocks 'Another Music..', Slaughter and the Dogs 'Do It Dog Style', The Saints, '(I'm) Stranded'.....most of them, really.

Gotta give a shout out the to the Real Kids debut as well....

Ramones- 1st album, Sex Pistols- Nevermind the Bollocks, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers- L.A.M.F., Misfits- Static Age, Dead Boys- Young, Loud, and Snotty, The Damned- 1st album & Machine Gun Etiquitte...so many more that I can't think of right off the top of my head.

zeros - don't push me around

the GIZMOS!!!!!!

Judging by the serial number and that Lee Joseph had something to do with starting Romulan, I think Real Gone Garbage came out in 1992, not 1962.

Well, "THE INTERNATIONAL VICIOUS SOCIETY" serie doesn't mix trailers, novelty songs and savage rockers in the WAVY GRAVY style but it sure mixes insane and retarded songs. It's more focused on the 60s period but mixes various styles from mexican rock'n'roll to french novelty ...

Btw, I'm listening to MADAME RITARD'S HORRORS OF THE WAX MUSEUM right now !

Hide in plain sight. The old Purloined Letter trick!

Oh, there you are! Repent Records/Rudos and Rubes Publishing said:

I've been trying to get as many direct orders as possible before adding it to the other Rudos and Rubes books available there. It can be ordered at http://www.rudosand rubes.com.

It won't be at Borders, as my brief involvement with a distro that serves them and other chains ended with self-described "underground publishing icon" Vale of Re/Search (my description would be "outdated pseudo-underground scammer") pocketing all the book sales for acting as middle man. Trying to get into the mass-market/chain book outlets now seem to me as futile as the mass-market/chain music outlets; that's the way the cookie bounces!

And the cover shot is of Darin Raffaelli, who is always up for anything ridiculous.

Tim Moore said:

Does anyone know where I can get this book? Amazon says its still unreleased, but it was supposed to be released 3/1/10???? Borders.com says its on back order.....
What the F?!!!!!

GUITAR WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then stuff like The Demolition Doll Rods, the Oblivians, the Dirtbombs, the Gories, Reigning Sound, the Drags... speaking of the Drags, anyone know if any footage of them playing live exists? Also, the Horrors (the guys from Iowa on In The Red, not the UK band.) I've been looking for footage of them as well but can only find the UK Horrors. Maybe I'll make a new thread and ask.

Im all over the place lately.

Crocodiles, Jeff the Brotherhood, Thomas Function, Small Black, All the Saints, Coconut Coolouts, Toro Y Moi, Woven Bones, Zola Jesus, Dum Dum Girls, Soophie Nun Squad, Wavves, Devil Dogs, El Vez, Brocken Social Scene, Murder City Devils, Carbonas, Replacements, U-N-I, Dead Boys, etc.

In heavy rotation and all time favs are Oblivians, Mummies, Reigning Sound, Radio Birdman, Brian Jonestown Massacre and the like.

Cool! I hope I can get to see them. Gasser Dale said:

Saw the Little Girls play a few years back with Nikki (Corvette) & the Stingrays, Thee Makeout Party, & the Riff Randells. Still played well and fun to see. Picked up a 45 EP at the show as well.

That's the one I want to get, mainly because it has "Earthquake Song" on it. gina vah said:

In this case, talking about Amazon, this is the CD: http://www.amazon.com/Thank-Heaven-Valleypop-Little-Girls/dp/B0025X...

I still have to investigate about the other one. I will keep you updated!

Also, on the Little Girls' CD there's a sweet version of "Anyway you want it" (Dave Clark Five: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH1JEI79emU )

Hey Tobi, yeah, I got mine last week but I haven't started reading it yet. There's a topic in the General Discussion Forum about it, too. Feel free to chime in. And, for anyone living in the NYC area, don't miss the Book Release Party for this featuring the New Bomb Turks & Livefastdie! RSVP here!

Yes i think i heard them covering emergency too.Probably they liked motorhead.But who doesn't?Maybe me,but joey ramone does. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I do like one thing by them when they teamed with Motorhead to do this Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover, but this could have easily been done by the Pandoras, Brood, or Runaways as well.

If y'all is surf fans wod about TAPEMAN / The TAPEMEN / GHOST of TAPEMAN from New Zealand.

Been releasing stuff on Stink Magnetic and Kato records for almost 10 years I guess. Really wild stuff! My fave for sure.
