maybe they don't have anything to say......

well, i listen to all the podcasts at work and REALLY dig them all .but most of the time there is no time to leave comments, or for my part to say that a job is well done, is really pointless, you know what you do(a great job that is!).I know that most of my friends in greece also listen to most of the podcasts, but we never leave a comment. i never thought it would be frustrating...sorry. but as a listener to podcasts, i was led to the hideout!
and now that i am thinking of it, i guess it would be nice to get all the moral support possible...

I've noticed the comments have been picking up lately, Michael. During my show I've been inviting listeners to comment on the main site as well as encouraging them to join the Hideout. I suggest we (GaragePunk Podcasters) should all devote a small amount of time on our shows to persuade our listeners to give us some more feedback. But as I said, I have noticed more feedback lately.

I CARE!!!!!! I listen to the show religiously (since i dont believe in jeez-us) I love your show and your voice and all the badass tunes you spin that help me discover cool shit i would have never known about otherwise!! Maybe people are just busy. But i say unto you, dont go on feedback or comments alone, for those are only for those who have the time or gall! there are plenty of silent listeners im sure of it. for that is what listeners are best at....listening. so what does that make me??? I have no fuckin clue...all i know is i love your show and it makes me crazy!!! (the good kind)

thanks Mike, I did go through those episodes which was great coz I'd missed some of the early shows, but 'wolfman boogie' isnt the track I was looking for, I seem to remember (although this might be wrong) that it was a link wray tune with wolfman jack over the top, i'll keep looking/downloading, might have been on one cup o coffee....cheers tho Michael Kaiser said:

Are you talking about Wolfman Boogie Pt.II by Wolfman Jack & the Wolf Pack?

I played that on some episode of RadiOblivion. Don't know which one; I'm kinda dodgy about playlists. Not ever sure of what I have played exactly... That track would be somewhere on episodes 9 - 15. I have no idea what I played betwixt 5 and 15. Really need to go through those and write 'em down.

But, I digress. If that is the song yer looking for, it's available on the "Mondo Frat Dance A Go Go" disc on Arf Arf. Or, you can re-listen to all the RadiOblivion episodes; you probably should anyway.

Hope that helps.

i think it must be the crusher and the band is the novas....

Hey does anyone remember an instrumental track possibly played by link wray and featuring wofman jack, played on one of these podcasts...oh a year or two ago? I play that one on my guitar, but can't find the podcast anywhere...think it was on 'flying saucer rock n roll'.......anyone help? Ta.

I got a guy here in Auckland, New Zealand to build me a Maestro clone. He made a cross between the 1st and 2nd versions. It runs on 3volts dc which is weird but that's what they originally came out running on, 2 AA batteries. It sounds like the Fuzz from 'Satisfaction' but you can dial a bit more in if you want and get a really crazy sound out of it. The only other fuzz I'm after is a Mosrite Fuzzbrite, I have played the clone copies of them but really wanna hear an original one. What I really wanna know is what fuzz the Sonics used? or was it just the amps?

I have a liking to so much music. Some is considered "Garage" to many. From the Dutch comes Q65, Outsiders, and The RO D YS (roadies), and Beat Music such as The Zipps were great! So much of America was close to Euro Freakbeat and British Beat and Mod music to go around.

But two bands set me off forever after a first listen in 1965 - The KInks and The Sonics. After that I was never the same.

20 years later I met and still know The Cynics. Still fantastic with the nucleus of Gregg and Michael. Some of their best friends has not been mentioned yet. The Sound Explosion from Greece, along with The Sick Rose stand tall in the Garage music history.

In 1989 I saw The Cynics one week, The Fluid the next week, then Thee Headcoats after that. I am still not the same since..Amazing shit!

Not all 100% Bonafide Garage, but they've all certainly made an impact on it...

Not Spanish, but in Spanish. They are a Peruvian band :)

Does Spanish Garage count? I would like to add Los Saicos, they rule!

Gotta admit, I never heard of the Town Hall Party Stuff... Checking it out on youtube... Cool shit! Definitly pick that stuff up! I got Charlie Feathers demos comin out my wazoo, but I'll probly pick up them new norton discs at some point, theirs a few I ain't got on 'em... Yeah, the Johhny Burnette wampus cat/crazy date stuffs fantastic!

Television has a buncha great ones... demos- Double Exposure, live - the Blow Up with what I consider the essential version of Little Johnny Jewel...

of course for jaw dropping live stuff, there's the Velvet Underground Gymnasium boot... I swear "Sister Ray" will leave you humping air!

I've been listening to these 2 a lot recently...

Rocky Erickson and the Aliens - Halloween (Norton 2xLP)
David Bowie - Live in Santa Monica '72 (2xLP)

The Beatles - Esher Demos from the White Album are pretty cool too.
Johnny Burnette - Wampus Cat & Crazy Date (2 LPs of Johnny and Dorsey Burnnette Demos from Norton. I like these a lot.)
Johnny Cash - Live at Town Hall Party '58 & '59 (2 LPs from Sundazed. The sound quality lacks a little, but otherwise these are a lot of fun to listen to. Sundazed also has recordings from Wanda Jackson, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent... It's worth checking out the whole Town Hall Party series)

The series of Charlie Feathers albums Norton put out recently are worth checking out if you don't already have them too (Long Time Ago, Honky Tonk Kind, and Wild Side Of Life) Alot of them are home recordings so they sort have a live/demo feel to them.

Dee Generate; Tory Crimes; Pat Smear; shit, there's thousands!!!!

Rat Scabies!

Lee Ving. Thats got my vote.

Subject: RIP RUDY RAY MOORE
Body: Rudy Ray Moore dies at 81; comedian and filmmaker influenced rap and hip-hop

By Jocelyn Y.
Stewart

October 21, 2008

Rudy Ray Moore, the self-proclaimed "Godfather of Rap" who influenced generations of rappers and comedians with his rhyming style, braggadocio and profanity-laced routines, has died. He was 81.


FOR THE RECORD: The obituary of comedian Rudy Ray Moore that appeared in Tuesday's California section stated he died in a nursing home in Toledo, Ohio. In fact he died in a nursing home in Akron, Ohio.


Moore, whose low-budget films were panned by critics in the 1970s but became cult classics decades later, died Sunday night in Toledo, Ohio, of complications from diabetes, his brother Gerald told the Associated Press.


Though he was little known to mainstream audiences, Moore had a significant effect on comedians and hip-hop artists.


"People think of black comedy and think of Eddie Murphy," rap artist Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew told the Miami Herald in 1997. "They don't realize [Moore] was the first, the biggest underground comedian of them all. I listened to him and patterned myself after him.
"

And in the liner notes to the 2006 release of the soundtrack to Moore's 1975 motion picture "Dolemite," hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg said:

"Without Rudy Ray Moore, there would be no Snoop Dogg, and that's for real.
"

When it came to his own sense of his accomplishments, Moore was never burdened by immodesty.


"These guys Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac claim they're the Kings of Comedy," Moore told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 2003. "They may be funny, but they ain't no kings. That title is reserved for Rudy Ray Moore and Redd Foxx.
"

The heyday of his fame was in the 1970s, with the release of "Dolemite" followed by "The Human Tornado," "Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-in-Law" and "Money Hustler.
"

The way Moore told it, his introduction to Dolemite came from an old wino named Rico, who frequented a record shop Moore managed in Los Angeles. Rico told foul-mouthed stories about Dolemite, a tough-talking, super-bad brother, whose exploits had customers at the record shop falling down with laughter.


One day Moore recorded Rico telling his stories. Later Moore assumed the role of Dolemite, a character who became the cornerstone of his decades-long career as a raunchy comedian, filmmaker and blues singer.


"What you call dirty words," he often said, "I call ghetto expression.
"

But long before "Dolemite" debuted on theater screens, Moore had found fame -- and fans -- through stand-up routines and a series of sexually explicit comedy albums.


Not only were the album contents raunchy, the album covers featured women and Moore nude and were too racy for display. So store clerks kept the albums under the counter. Without airplay or big-studio promotion, the so-called party records were underground hits.


"I put records in my car and traveled and walked across the U.S. I walked to the ghetto communities and told people to take the record home and let their friends hear it. And before I left the city, my record would be a hit. This is how it started for me," he told the St. Louis Post Dispatch in 2001.


Although contemporaries such as Foxx and Richard Pryor found success with a broader audience, Moore's stardom was bounded by the geography of race and class: He was a hit largely in economically disadvantaged African American communities.


According to his website, Moore was born in Fort Smith, Ark., on March 17, 1927.


In his youth Moore worked as a dancer and fortune teller and he entertained while serving in the U.S. Army.
But his big break came with the recording of his Dolemite routine:



Dolemite is my name

And rappin and tappin

that's my game

I'm young and free

And just as bad as I wanna

be.




By the time Dolemite appeared on film, he was the ultimate ghetto hero: a bad dude, profane, skilled at kung-fu, dressed to kill and hell-bent on protecting the community from evil menaces. He was a pimp with a kung-fu-fighting clique of prostitutes and he was known for his sexual prowess.


For all the stereotypical images, Moore bristled at the term blaxploitation.


"When I was a boy and went to the movies, I watched Roy Rogers and Tim Holt and those singing cowboys killing Indians, but they never called those movies 'Indian exploitation' -- and I never heard 'The Godfather' called 'I-talian exploitation,' " he told a reporter for the Cleveland Scene in 2002.


Late in life, Moore saw his work win fans far beyond his African American audience. There is a "Dolemite" website and chat room that boasts a cross-cultural collection of young fans. Such interest won him mainstream work in an advertisement for Altoid Mints and a commercial for Levi's jeans.


Though Moore built a career on talking dirty, he was very religious. He took pride in taking his mother to the National Baptist Convention each year and often spoke in church at various functions. He rationalized his role as a performer.


"I wasn't saying dirty words just to say them," he told the Miami Herald in 1997. "It was a form of art, sketches in which I developed ghetto characters who cursed. I don't want to be referred to as a dirty old man, rather a ghetto expressionist.

Subject: RIP Dolemite aka Rudy Ray Moore
Body: rest in peace mr dolemite
Body: Legendary actor, filmmaker, comedian, singer, Godfather of Rap and King of the Party Records, Rudolph Frank Moore better known as Rudy Ray Moore or Dolemite has left this earthly plane.

A 60 + year veteran of the stage, the first x rated comedian, one of the first African American filmmakers and the third most sampled man in the world, his self made comedy records and films have inspired and influenced generations from a thousand walks of life and a hundred nations.

He had recently finished work on "The Dolemite Explosion" with longtime friend and costar Jimmy Lynch (his first self made film in 30 years), an album of soul ballads called "Let Me Sing To You Before I Drift Away" with his daughter Rusty, and had been Highlighted by Hadjii in an episode of "Somebodies" and was looking forward to a resurgence and a country album.

After a long battle with diabetes and obscurity, he passed peacefully on Sunday at the age of 81.

He was a good God fearing man who loved his friends and family
