    • Well thank goodness, it was everything before they started recording for Colombia Records (in the UK) and not afterwards.
      Now if he'd get started on those box sets. Did anybody read the articles in last Springs' Ugly Things? There's over 60 unreleased masters AND HE OWNS THEM!

    • I don't have any web or tech knowledge so I don't know who beats out who. But anyway, I didn't think anyone would rip off your old designs and all your ideas just because they didn't want to join this new thing which is better, like you say. I only noticed today that you had nothing to do with it. But I'm having troubles with the reply section. Do I talk to Ning about that. The scrawl bar keeps bouncing back up to the top, and once I get passed 14 lines (not 7 like I thought) I no longer can see what I'm typing because it's all below the window. And being the worst typest, I HAVE to see what I'm typing otherwise there are tons of typos. kopper said:

      Why would I set up a lame-ass proboards forum when we have this? Ning beats the snot out of proboards and phpBB combined.

      I do have one problem here, though. Once I get passed a number of lines when typing (like 7 or more) the scrawl bar on the side starts bouncing around back toward the top and I can't see what I'm typing because it's all below the window. With my luck, I'm probably the only one with that problem.

      That other forum that ripped off everything from my original board does not use the same databases for content, so no, none of your old posts will be there nor will your same username or any of that stuff. Basically, it's a pretty lame copy of the original. The Hideout, on the other hand, is the old Forums taken to the next level (and done at a time when it was ahead of the game in that regard... when the Forum was in serious decline and social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook were on the rise), and I think those of us that are here and actually use it realize that.

    • I block all Facebook applications, most of them are dumb as hell and annoying on top of it. And I rarely ever post something to my wall, unless it's an article or video that automatically gets shared via FriendFeed, which pulls stuff from videos I favorite on YouTube and some other stuff. But I've noticed that, in general, the older I get, the less "social networking" I'm really interested in doing. I'm spending less and less time on Twitter lately, too, which I've noticed has resulted in a dramatic decrease in spam followers, which is nice. By the way... the logo of the old GaragePunk Forums was the Voxmobile, not some remote-control car. It's a REAL car designed by famous '60s hot rod maker, George Barris. I chose that for the logo for the Forums because it combined two of my favorite passions: garage rock and kustom hot rods. For some recent news about the Voxmobile, check this out.

      Funny how the shit bottle spins around and occasionally yer suckin' face with yerself...yes, I broke down and joined the dreaded FACEBOOK a few weeks back...mostly to stalk my g/f and self promote the fuck outta my projects...I ignore 90% of others postings and the like...and I've realized Facebook is the new fuct...long live TWITTER!

    • Well, it looks like you can get the best of both worlds. Be in the hideout AND visit the old school forum.... http://garagepunk.proboards.com/index.cgi? I'm mostly doing the Hideout and myspace (I too have no need for facebook) but if I have that weird obscure question concerning Baby Huey and the Babysitters, I'll go to the proboards for that.

    • I think I was a member of the old garage punk forum.....I believe they had separate threads....new sounds (revival groups), the old sounds (sonics, remains ect) and many more? There was that remote control car looking logo thing? Am I right??? Maybe I am thinking of another forum but that one was a good one with all kinds of cool posts. I will occasionally hit up G45 central or It's Psych. Facebook and Myspace can be rough going for me....on these sites people have to post pictures of everything they do...whether it be going to Wal-Mart, showing off tramp stamps or taking a shit - I feel it makes my world way too small and this doesn't really do anything for me, privacy can be a good thing you know. I like the fact that people can share mp3's and post the occasional picture on this forum, that's definitely nice but once again the tattoo pictures or band promotions become overkill. I'd rather just chat to be honest. But overall a very good forum this is, fun stuff.

      Point well taken, Kopper.
      I just get the impression that the garagepunk world is shrinking...like I said, I live in the South and there ain't shit to talk about, garagepunk-wise, in my neck o' the woods. (One of the main reasons I'm franticly tryin' to get my band together!) I'm on MySpace and here, but I refuse to join Facebook (for reasons I don't care to get into here), so I have no clue as to the discussions on that site.

    • The Mummies are playing October 24th at Bottom of The Hill but individual show tickets are still not on sale. Just series tickets at the moment.

    • August 30, 2009 1:49 PM CDT
    • Does anyone have any idea what day the mummies are going to play @budget rock in SF. Either no one out there in the world wide web knows or the information is eluding to me. What the Cheerios!! No Bunny! what day are they playing. In fact if anyone has the complete schedule that'd be tits

    • Very nice tribute, sounds like a good man will be missed. Thanks for posting this

    • What do you use to get that garage sound? Guitars, amps, mics, recorders, organs, drums, tambourines, or anything else .. Go!

    • I always liked the stupid humor that Zacherlie did on that song "Dinner With Drac". I wonder if HE did anymore things like that.

      Did you ever find your tune? Why do I have the feeling you're talking about "Wolfman" by the Bobby Fuller Four? that tune kind of had that Link Wray quality to it but that was Bobby Fuller doing a Wolfman Jack imitation, not the Wolfman himself.
      Now that's the kinda bizarro crap I miss about modern music! I heard a weird tune on an old eppy-sode of Fool's Paradise w/ Rex (on WFMU.org) that sounded like the Wolfman a-howlin' and gabberin' over an instro cut...he (or imitations or him) must done bunches of this type o' trash...never caught the backstory on the tune unfortunately....

    • Don't know about all that, but one of my favorite lyrics from them is:
      "It was like a Phil Spector nightmare.."

    • I discovered Hoodoo Gurus in 1989 because I heard the guitarist had an affair to Michael Steele (her real name is Susanne Thomas). It`s weird when you realize you can make a movie or a book who is based upon lyrics. They are sometimes about reality. Sometimes I think it`s weird when fans are asking about what really happened? Maybe they are blocking me out because I`m right: something hapened, but what? I would really like any opinton if other fans have discovered something. Just listen to these words: "I`m gonna knock you dead" (AXEGRINDER), "I can feel just where you are, you can never go too far" (I SEE YOU), "you picked me up to abuse you, used me like I wasn`t used to" (I`M DOING FINE), "you and her have had a fight, well that seems to happen every other night" (PLEASE YOURSELF), "tell me why you can`t look me in the eye, tell me why you always have to lie, tell me why there`s pointless to deny" (WHY), "what if the worst of it is over? Finished. Only it`s too soon now to know. You can cry if you like. But don`t give up the fight. You can swear if you like, please stay here one more night" (ALWAYS SOMETHING)

    • "The Buckinghams - King of a Drag (1967)"

      You're right. The Buckinghams were King of a Drag. But the rest of that album is pretty good indeed.
