Do you know movies that deal with the golden '60s garage era? Cause I feel my brain more empty than a Jeffrey Lee Pierce's bottle of whiskey about that. Thanks.

I hate feeling like I hijack these threads! I checked Time Bomb's site and they have NOT NOW in on CD and vinyl for about 1500 yen in Japan. If they are selling the album at the show, I'll probably pick it up. Here's some more artwork by Rockin' Jelly Bean (Erostika/Jackie & the Cedrics).

OH MY SHIT! If that ain't some frakkin' hot action there! Enjoy getting closer to the A-Bones! Besides that, will someone be taking Photos/Video of that? I mean: PLEASE???? Pacifiction Records said:

This is awesome... I'm about to see the A-Bones in Japan and their stuff keeps popping out of nowhere at me! I've seen the Japanese bands a million times but the A-Bones will be an initiation for me!

If you travel to Marseille in south of France have a run at Lollipop Store the best record shop in town. Garage, Punk, Soul, Sixties, Comps (CDs and LP's), Books, Shirts,... . The two boss are real cool guys. You can even have a drink cause there's a little bar inside. Funny place.

When I'm in NY, GREENPOINT - BROOKLYN I love to skip to PERMANENT RECORDS www.permanentrecords.info/ Nice people, cool store, great stuff - great area to hang out anyway. Shopping is easy there: There's a thriftstore like second-hand section, some rarities and the staff (mostly it's the owner herself) is very friendly and up on things. You can find recs from IN THE RED to NORTON and back as well as some old timey thing-eys.

Yeah New Paltz is a great little town...one of the better college towns I've been too - plus it's close to NYC - relatively speaking. My favorite drinking place over there is Bacchus...400 different types of bottled beer...how can anyone go wrong with that?

I totally agree!

Thirsty Moon record shop in the Hillcrest area of San Diego (California) has to be my favorite so far, that's relatively near to me. I mostly always spot something that makes my eyes grow big and my heart thump a bit. The people working there are friendly and normally know whats up, from what I've experienced at the least. The vinyl is well categorized as well. *Some* stuff can be a bit pricey, that's the only slight negativity about it though. Weooooo..

That's cool man, after posting I read your post and realized we went to the same university! Had some good times in New Paltz! Bob Blackstone said:

New York City, NY
House of Oldies - the owner has a log up his ass - they have the bigger names although I picked up great original copies of Moby Grape 69, The Beach Boys Surf's Up and The Seeds' Future here at bargain prices.
Rockit Scientist
Kim's Video
Other Music
Midnight Records - mailorder vinyl and cds, though if you make an appointment you can actually go there - the owner is somewhat strange.
Eat Records - Brooklyn - you can sit down and eat food than sift thru records.

Albany, NY
Last Vestige - one of the best I know of...great vinyl....it's in the ghetto though...best advised to wear armor

Danbury, CT
Gerosa - geared heavily toward classic rock

Waterbury, CT
Brass City Records - alot of psych and hippie stuff

New Paltz, NY - went to college here, great town
Rhino Records

So there's the tristate area in a nutshell....

Does anyone know Cleveland well? I went to one place that was pretty cool at the edge of town, in like a sorta hip area, or as hip as Cleveland can be but this place had alot of garage, beat, punk and so forth...vinyl and cds. The owner was this short stocky barrel chested fella with a beard...dark hair.

OK, I'll start small and get bigger. In my college town, New Paltz, NY there's a couple places: Jack's Rhythm's - 54 Main St, New Paltz, NY Good but small selection of vinyl and CDs. I bought my first Teengenerate LP there and some of the 45s I distro (The Playmates, Radio Shanghai, Trio) are on shelves there and some CDs like The Fadeaways, Teengenerate live and The Dogs Tribute. Rhino Records - 3 Church St., New Paltz, NY Great selection of all types and lots of garage, surf, exotica, punk and indie on vinyl. Waaay back in the day it used to be affiliated with the Rhino label. In NY city, I can recommend two places although there are plenty others, like Bleecker Street Records, Academy etc.: Other Music (Manhattan) - www.othermusic.com Mostly out music, avant garde, experimental and indie rock, but there's also some punk, garage, electronica and indie on vinyl. I put some experimental CDs there (Flight of Idea, Six O'Minus, Varo). Passout Recordshop (Brooklyn) - http://www.myspace.com/passoutrecordshop Mostly vinyl punk, hardcore, garage, exotica, rockabilly, psychobilly, etc. I put some 45s (Playmates, Radio Shanghai, Trio) here and some CDs (Fadeways, Teengenerate live, The Dogs tribute). The owner Pee Wee is also in the punk band I.C.U. In Japan there are tons and tons, but I'll give you a short list of the more garage punk ones: Disk Union is a chain that has everything including ample vinyl selection depending on the location. Shimokitazawa is the largest I've seen, but Shibuya has a good punk shop. Japan Vinyl in Shinjuku, two shops, one dealing in more classic rock and mainstream and the other selling more udnerground punk, indie stuff. They bring bands like the Rezillos, The Boys, The Only Ones, Pretty Things, The Undertones to Japan. Record Shop Base, another chain with punk, hardcore, garage stuff. The Tokyo shop is in Koenji. They reissued and released Nikki Corvette stuff in Japan and more recently the Baby Shakes and Test Patterns. Senseless Records in Hachioji carries more punk (pop punk, hardcore, post hardcore, oi!, ska) but you can find the odd ball country, garage, neo-rockabilly LP. Run by Tsuchiya from Peace of Bread and it's connected to a studio which has regular events on the weekend. I distro Armedalite Rifles LP and other upstate NY punk here. Micky Room in Yokohama, very tiny place in a seedy apartment near Yokohama station. Lot's of underground hardcore, classic and rare punk to find punk from all over the world. I distro Armedalite Rifles LP here as well and other NY punk stuff. Last might be the best for this crowd. TIME BOMB RECORDS. I haven't been to Osaka yet, but I'm dying to check this shop out. Simply the best place to find garage punk, Japanese or otherwise. The Time Bomb Label has released stuff by bands like 5678's, Acid Eater, Mad3, Supersnazz, First Alert, etc. There's plenty of other places I haven't check out or I can't remember the names, but these are the ones that stick out.

Nice! Canada put out a lot of goooooooooooooood stuff. I especially love The Curse. Dgrador said:

My blog: O CANADARM! features Fine Musical Trash From Canada and Beyond!

Here are just a few I'm fond of. Many props to these dudes. Uncle Gil's Rockin' Archives The Twighlight Zone The Manchester Morgue The Devil's Music The Post Punk Progressive Pop Party Blaxploitation Pride The Wicked Thing The Head Vein and several more..... Any of you have a music sharity blog or like any? Also, my thoughts on these blogs: my opinion is that all of these ppl who do these blogs are obsessively committed to promoting the bands and musicians. Its a fact that the whole "try before you buy," thing will work if its quality shit. And if you download any of this stuff and like it - you should leave the blog owner a comment! The point isn't passive exploitation of bands and artists - its to promote and create a dialogue amongst fans. And that's a fact, Jack.

ahhhhh that purple canteen is a killer track, love it, niceeee, some more tracks i didnt know about, that "The denims" is really nice, and ill search for the acapulco gold, the others i know, and they are excellent..

Just thought of a few more i really like in similar strangness..

The inferno-inferno
The boss tweeds-wrist watchband
Grains of sand-golden apples of the sun
Shirley Hughley-Purple & green
New Chains III-The end
The night mist-Last night
Hamilton streetcars-Invisible people
Smoke spoon-Planetary freakout
Remaining few-Painted air
Brain train-me

Im always on the search for more obscure strange beauties like these

btw bob thanks for more contributions, you seem to know your stuff...:))))

I thought of another...

The Denims - White Ship - this is another solid, moody acid garage 45 from 1967 that's somewhat obscure - also on the Fistful of Fuzz comp.

More of the usual 45's/lp's that most people know:

Bohemian Vendetta - some of the tracks on that solid record are moody and somewhat strange.
The Mystic Tide - all this group's 45's.
The Outsiders - CQ - one of my personal favorites...I recently saw a original copy of this in NYC for 300 bux.
T C Atlantic - Faces
Acapulco Gold - In My Mind Lives A Forest
Cold Sun - Dark Shadows lp - one of the best ever.

I recently picked up Sundazed's USA records lp. It's more garage than psych but there are some pretty cool cuts on it like the Flock's psyched out What Would You Do If The Sun Died, Time To Dream by the Lost Agency and a few cool tracks by the Park Avenue Playground - great comp of local Chicago bands.

The Mystic Tide...don't know how familiar anyone is with NY but these guys hailed from Long Island - home of the plaza bar, fake tans, chain restaurants, cheesy dance clubs and the caveman guido. I'm amazed something good came out of LI.

Have you heard of the Purple Canteens Brains In My Feet - it's excellent, I've posted it to my page along with a few others mentioned on that list. Shit, my apologies for all the rambling, I just got really into this thread.

YOU GOT GOOD TASTE vol. eleven MY TALE IS HOT Watcha weirdos and welcome to MY TALE IS HOT bringing you yet more rock'n'roll weirdness. It's a regular panties inferno! You can't lick it! This month's show is a second helping of rockin'n'rollin sounds of a sexual nature, but this time I thought I'd try to put them together into a raunchy storyline that tells a TALE of HOT, steamy, sexual liasons and all other kinds of illicit behaviour. See if you can follow my twisted way of thinking and get to the end of the story!! *Warning MY TALE IS HOT is not bedtime listening for kiddies* But don't blame me if it's too blue! Cos this show is just an audio erotic response to Joey Martini's Peek-a-boo Revue podcast show entitled 'Baby Let Me Bang Your box', so do yourself a favour and listen to his weird debased rock'n'roll debauchery and blame him for corrupting Mr A The Barber. Keep it weird, till next time. Mr A The Barber I Dig Chicks! - Jonah Jones Quartet Going Steady - Jilted John Love Is... - The Phantom Surfers Sick! Sick! Sick! - Terry Corin and Her Boyfriends I Got a Rocket in my Pocket - Jimmy Lloyd Uncontrollable Urge - Devo I Want a Lip - April Stevens Girl (You Captivate Me) - ? and the Mysteians I Wanna Make Love - Leroy Dogson Touch Me - The Doors Take It Off - The Pastel Six Delilah Jones - The Thunderbirds Hold It Mary - The Axcents Anyway You Wanta - Harvey Oh, Honey - Gloria Wood Hanky Panky - The Raindrops Bend Me, Shape Me, - The Models Women Tied Up In Knots - Bongwater Weirdo Libido - The Lime Spiders Queen of Pain - The Cramps Femme Fatale - The Velvet Underground She Won't Turn Over For Me - Tommy Odim Cool (Joey!)

For sure, good thievery lends to great writing! ~T Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I'm trying to get back into writing cuz I haven't done it in quite a while (I finally have some new bits I'm finally piecing together) and I can thank Erik for that. What I do is listen to Back from the Grave and then write my own lyrics. Well, not realy, but I do tend to write songs like the way Poison Ivy, Billy Childish, Paula Pierce and Rudi Protrudi do (and I was doing it like that before I even knew who they were. I thought swiping chords and riffs was MY idea. Was I ever wrong.

Keepa Rockin' Rod! Stick the best bits and pieces together, then demo them up and see what sounds good. Some stuff may work and some stuff may not. I have so many scraps of songs on bits of paper lying around. Some are gems and some are shit. I don't know what is what until I actually record it. I had a few demo versions of things make it on my CDs because I liked them better than the finished band versions. You have all the TOOLs for good songs, use them as best you can and I think you will do fine. Everyone else out there, some songs fall out of the sky, and others take time to get right. I honestly don't know if there are any hard and fast rules for this stuff. Good Luck! Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I'm still pissed off because a local station carries Underground Garage at the exact same time I do Terrell's Sound World on our local public radio station here in Santa Fe.
