I'm new to the Hideout, but have been listening to many podcasts since my lovely wife bought me an iPod this year. And I sincerely think that GaragePunk is the most awesome collection of podcasts around! If anyone wants to reply, that's fine. But I just needed to throw that out there to show my appreciation.

I just heard that guitar picker and actor Jerry Reed died; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7596040.stm http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gtCKwgisw0t7ftgEpx3zQa1gEjtQD92UROC00 http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212168961.shtml

yeah I would be very interested in a review section...and I have to say that I start reading this forum to have infos about great bands and great records...

In my opinion it would be great to have reviews here...not only about today's stuff, but also about not-so-much-known great stuff from the past (long and short time)...the reviewers' group could be composed by garagepunk podcasters plus some other "we-know-you-know-what-you're-talkin'-about" people...

it could be useful to have a "file under" section (for example: if the hellacopters are your favorite band, what you have to listen to...), and a sort of best records profile of each reviewer, to know his/her musical taste...

it could be also useful to have different taste reviewers to write about the same record...

(ok maybe today i worked to hard, and it's to late...must go to bed)

It sounds like a great idea! I'd love to be a reviewer... you can sign me up!

As far as the "shameless self promotions" angle, restricting the reviews to official releases might help. Hopefully we wouldn't have to put together a group of reviewers to start, but one would form itself based on the frequency of posts. An online version of the "Shinding" or "Ugly Things" reviews section is a great way to think of it.

Sounds cool but who's reviewing who? I've seen something like this before and it ended as a self promotion page for every band on the planet.

If what you propose is a small group reviewing all thats new then that is a fantastic idea. One place to go to get the heads up, like an online copy of "Shindig" (Hope Mojo Mills doesn't find out- he he) :-)

I was discussing the possibility of starting a "Reviews/Reviewers" group here with Kopper recently. Apparently, I'm the only one who's brought it up in some time. But, it seems with all the music fans, podcasters, Djs, bloggers, etc... there would be some interest in having a go-to group here at the Hideout where members could read about new albums, singles, films, and books. Wha da ya think? Anyone like the idea? Anyone willing/eager to contribute?

Missed this show to to go Johnny Rad Fest! I regret it!

Not sure... Good question.

C'mon bloggers! Let's hear your input.

Where would you "promote" it?

Anyone mention The Troggs?
Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs?
Rev. Beat-Man?
Dead Moon?

I completely agree. I saw the Slickee Boys play again on Saturday and they can still bring it after 34 years! whatwave dave said:

seems there is no definitive answer if this is happening or not. hopefully someone has news soon...i need to ask for time off work if it's a go...

I can't go to this either :( I wish I had known in advance two months is not enough time for me. I will continue with my plan to attend budget rock.

somebody on the band list told a friend of a friend that it isn't happening at all...if it IS happening, they have to announce it soon to give people time to plan accordingly...what days, etc...

Hmm, I'll ask tim in person. I love that guy but he is kinda nuts, so we'll see...

heard the same rumour too but as yet no confirmed reports as to the validity.Obviously someone riding on the good name of crypt records or maybe tim is going to surprise us all????

sounds good to me, im looking for a killer mental instrumental for my next mini movie.
