Ike= 1st rocker. But r'n'b? 1940s bluesmen move to the city (thank you WW2!). I'll say...Louis Jordan?by MrFab
"appears 1966 was a pretty dire year..." Ha! It was all about singles, not LPs yet. And '66 was the height of the trashy garage/surf/"Nuggets" RAWk'n'roll. The best kind.by MrFab
Surviving members now perform as DKT-MC5, with various guest vocalists. The Bell-Rays are indeed fantastic live. And Britney Spears should be forced to name at least one MC5 song before she's photographed wearing one of their T-shirts.by MrFab
No way, 128 isn't enough. I can def. tell the difference between 128 and 190. I think 190 is fine, but you're right, getting up to 320 is pointless.by MrFab
Get it here: Finally! I can replace my moldy old cassette.by MrFab
Great album - Neil's best in ages, and after hearing one of his other topical tunes "Let's Roll," a few years ago I feared the worst. But I can't help but lovin' that Crazy Horse craziness.by MrFab
KXLU's my fave (streaming thru Live365), but it's "fine arts" during the evenings (6:00pm to 10 or 11pm Mon-Thu), Latin during weekend days.by MrFab
Simply Saucer Michael Yonkers Band Zolar X Raymond Scottby MrFab
Yep, Soulseek's da bomb. Not only rare CDs, but out-of-print vinyl turns up. And I read it's not as popular as other p2ps, so it's not as likely that The Man will go after it. But it's not for purchase...by MrFab
From the Cranberries review: "O'Riordan comes off like a ignorant young idealist staring in indignant disbelief at a video entitled History Since 1960."by MrFab
The post about the Only One's only one hit "Another Girl Another Planet" got me thinking: say you're up in the TP Orbiting Disco Lounge spinning all the platters that matter for the folks looking out that big picture window at Earth, and worlds beyond. What's in your record crate? (Besides all the versions of "Another Girl Another Planet") Athletico Spizz 'by MrFab
Oh yeah. March 21, according to Amazon.by MrFab
Is this it? From a 'net album "Interplanetary Materials":by MrFab
Yep, that Suburban Lawns link is from a great site called Post-Punk Junk. The guy updates it frequently - tons of great mp3s. And, yes, I'm afraid I may have something to do with that Bag O'Heads nonsense.by MrFab
Herky-jerky rhythms! Synth squiggles! Sarcasm! Featuring out-of-print (or never-in-print) classics from The Screamers, Wall of Voodoo, Oingo Boingo, The Suburban Lawns, and lots of great bands you never heard of, mostly ripped from vinyl.by MrFab
!!!!!!!! Just heard some new stuff he did with Toumani Diabate - really nice.by MrFab
He he. I've also been overthinking the Rat At Rat R review's "get the anagram, sport?" I realize now it's probly just "art art art." TELL us what the joke is, we're slow!by MrFab
"She Got A Nose Job" - Alfred E. Newman, Mad Magazine recordby MrFab
I do think the term "heavy metal" was in circulation by the mid-'70s - Robert Christgau's old reviews frequently make mention of the "heavy" music going around at the time. Probly just clueless label guys slapping any ol' title on a comp without really giving it much thought. But here's another question: which came first, the music or the comic mag?by MrFab
Just the "Warm Leatherette"/"TVOD" 7". So Silicon Teens was Daniel Miller's only album.by MrFab
Look, another great "S" artist: Silicon Teens who quite performing to run Mute Records after this one goodie.by MrFab
Just thought of one looking through TP's "S" section: Bobby Sichran and I thought I was his only fan. An album that went straight to the cut-out bin. Come back, Bobby!by MrFab
Speaking of Mooney Suzuki, I think Negativland got their name from Can as well. Beachwood Sparks - two streets in Burbank I drive past sometimes.by MrFab
No, Amazon's great. Check the used stuff - I've got albums for 49 cents! The Jilted John one just slipped past me I guess, don't know how I missed it. Online is where it's at now - except for the jaw-droppingly enormous Amoeba (the Wal-Mart of record shops), all the cool shops/chains have gone under here in LA: Moby Disk, Aron's, Penny Lane, even - shed a tear - Rhino Reby MrFab
Wimpiest: gotta be James Taylor - "You've Got A Friend" maybe Ballsiest: Ministry "Stigmata" (live)by MrFab
Cor blimey, the entire album? Bless you Delvin, you made my day.by MrFab
The mis-titled "Greatest Punk Rock Album...Ever!" (or whatever it was called) featured a re-recording of Jilted John. I was so disappointed. Where's the original, on some bazillion-dollar eBay vinyl rarity?by MrFab
Soulseek is great for OOP obscurities. Check the mp3 blogs. There's a ton of 'em, like Strange Reaction Lost Bands of the New Wave Era Post-Punk Junk (probly the best of the bunch) The Punk Archive Others throw in some alt classics every now and then, like: CrudCrud Cake and Polka Paradeby MrFab
Love the Chameleons, but shoegaze? Don't think they're droney and psychedelic enough - too cranky and angst-ridden. Unless that's just the stuff I heard. But I would add Loop and Spaceman 3. Post Edited (02-18-06 03:17)by MrFab
I'd like to hear: Tony Bennett "Nightclub Jitters" Paul Anka "Androgynous"by MrFab
