I saw Eric Burden picking out eggplants at a grocery store near Joshua Tree, Ca.
My mother knew him.

Met Dee Dee Ramone in a bathroom, 2 weeks before he died.
He was using again with members of his band who all looked like Sid Vicious.
This was in Las Vegas.
Talked to the guys from the weirdos.
I've talked to various members of Brian Jonestown.
Also, I've met scores of newer generation members of bands...

went to a party with Dead Moon in Portland...
they drove me to the party... it was on Halloween.

I met Nigel Lewis of Meteors/Tallboys fame the other saturday. what a gent!

Met Lobby Loyde - in fact he produced my band Arctic Circles first proper recording session in 1985. We walked into Richmond Recorders after work at about 5 in the afternoon and walked out at about 5 the next morning - 4 tracks recorded and mixed all in that timespan. Lobby was a fun guy who had a lot of funny stories. He liked to listen to everything up full blast.

The Arctic Circles first demo session was done by Greg Heenan, the bass player in The Elois. He had a little demo studio called Fitzroy Sound. Nice easygoing guy. He played us the Elois single while we were at the studio. He was kind of bemused when we told him about the whole 60s garage revival scene.

Met the Damned when they played Canberra in '97. My wife and I had a long chat with Patricia Morrison, nice lady.

Met Chris Bailey of The Saints, circa the "Monkey Puzzle" days. He noticed I had a Lurkers badge on, we had a talk about the Lurkers who he seemed to know well from The Saints' early days in London.

Humm, I met Hugh Cornwall as a teenager, I think he lived in the local area. Not a hero of mine though. I met Kurt Cobain in Bristol before the Nirvana explosion, again I was not really a fan and was more interested in seeing Tad (who they were supporting).

The only band I have met that I actually liked I think was Guitar Wolf. I guess this is the only one that counts.

I love photographing people who played on great records of yesteryear, and new stuff too. My catalogue of photos has a lot of faces in it. NYC can get pretty "name-droppy" which is annoying, but my favorite recent encounter was a couple glasses of wine with sammy yaffa (formerly of finnish glam outfit hanoi rocks, and currently the bass player for the new york dolls). Also in 2007 I had The Hives hanging out at my pad during Cavestomp, that was fun! Check out this fun photo of Magic Christian too! I definitely heart Cyril Jordan!

That last part is sound advice for young people! Whats the name of the '60s apocalypse manual? sounds great! Jason Edge said:

I missed the 50/50 fertile section in my emergency preparedness plan. I really don't want humans coming back and certainly not from my seed. Then again, a new nation of long hairs that think only of surfing and RnR might be alright. I'm Irish Comanche though, we may have to eat the young to keep them from weeding out the old. It's not the guns you need to stockpile, it's the ammo.
No joke hunting tip for survival that I read in a '60s apocalypse manual recently acquired at my local thrift store. It was a fun read. Shoot the first thing that moves no matter how small. If it is unedible, lie in wait and shoot what ever comes to eat it.

Maybe the spacemen will come before 2012.

I think it's fucking brilliant idea. They could do recipe songs on how to cook other survivors.

Maybe the "shittiest" tag was way off... when posting, the age-old question "Who's going to hire them?" sprang to mind 1st. If "Grizzly" wants to start a survivalist-breeder Sly and the Family Stone act, that's cool w/ me. (I own guns, BTW.) Just couldn't visualize the market~ hell, there might really be one! Might work with older 8-and-up kids, who knows?
At least he's keeping it secular; nomination is withdrawn.
Any fresh nominees for the Shittiest Band Idea 2009 trophy?

As long as they pay me, don't fucking care what or why they play.

What are you talking about? That's a fantastic idea for a childrens band. If there ain't uranium rock at the apocalypse, I'm not going!!

Solid review...now I really wanna hear this 7"!

Montreal Rock N' Roll revivalist Mark Sultan (The Spaceshits, Les Sexareenos, BBQ, King Khan and BBQ Show, etc) churned out this 7 inch for Sub Pop at the end of last year. Two very different sides of Sultan appear on this "double A-Side", one that is wholly expected and one that is clearly aiming for a different sound or possibly new direction in his "always evolving" career. "Hold On" clearly leans heavily on some of the cleaner sounds that appeared on his solo album The Sultanic Verses. Sultan has been pedaling his brand of garage rock for over ten years. Fans of his work will settle into this "A-Side" with little or no effort. This hip swaying tale of woe would be perfect for an early 60s matinee idol, but ultimately handled much better in Sultan's experienced hands. Veering away from that "safe place" Sultan literally takes Joe Meek's "I Hear A New World" in a different direction than the original. Given the airy, mood inducing music he incorporates elements of dream pop more often associated with Angelo Badalementi and more recently The Raveonettes. The original features three distinct repeating vocals; lead, backing, and chipmunk repetition and canned 50s scifi space ship sounds. Instead he opts for a warbly underwater vocal and at the end of the song is a welcome burst of guitar feedback. Creatively this might not rate as genre bending but the changes are subtle enough to make this a little more Mark Sultan than Joe Meek. Since this appears to be a one off single for Sub Pop it would be safe to assume that "Hold One" gives them what they want. Then taking a page from his own play book giving them what they might need. "I Hear a New World" experiment clearly begs, "Why not more music in this style?" Safe to say Sultan could pull it off.
