Since I can't think of anything too interested to post about I'm just gonna go with a Garage Rock 101 message I sent to a friend via myspace. Maybe some of you will be interested by this.

Garage Rock 101: Roots Of Punk?

Briefing:
"Garage Rock was a simple, raw form of rock & roll created by a number of American bands in the mid-'60s....

Even though I've always liked this stuff, it's only been the past couple years that I've gotten hard core into this noise. The Monks are my favorite band right now.

Alright, it's probably time for a new post here. Firstly, happy New Year to all of you. I haven't done much reflecting on 2008. Frankly, I don't believe there's much to celebrate, or try to forget for that matter. I hope that doesn't sound too cynical...

Out with the old and in with the new!
(how was that? could you feel the enthusiasm?)

I might...

I finished a "Best Albums of 2008" list today. A little early maybe, but most people I know who are making one have finished theirs already too. I made two actually, one is specifically for reissues and compilations. Anyway, they are...

Oops. I forgot to send the cover art for The Resistance.

Here. I'll just link you to a .pdf of it. You can look at it then.

Of course, they should both fit on one CD together.

Anyway, here's the cover art for The Resistance jam
sweetloretta:
both of those things are a shame

Thanks to Hunter's "Now Hear This" is was put onto a group that slipped under my radar. Oddly enough, No Age was being played on the radio station I dj at (Radio 1190 AM KVCU Boulder) back in May. Obviously, I don't pay enough attention to what's going on over there, but I do listen a lot.

I got 2 weeks off work for the...

Indeed. Slowly but surely it's starting to feel like home. I like it. smile

The coffee ice cream was the ultimate.

I brought some by the local pub to share with the Lonely Souls who had nowhere to go. Then I won 50 bucks in darts and used it to take Mom to dinner.

On Monday night I saw The King Khan & BBQ Show. These guys absolutely floored me once again! I think there's something about good live shows that I'll never get tired of (I say that only because I have a couple older friend that swear they've grown out of seeing bands play live). There's nothing better than watching a band play that has the...

A little Super Glue (the knock off brand I might add) went a long way and I managed to put my glasses back together! Turns out they weren't as severely damaged as I had previously thought. I went without them for a couple days then realized they probably wouldn't be too difficult to glue back together. So there you have it.

I don't know why...

I broke my fucking glasses last night. Hopefully I can get the same frames. I really liked those.
NOTE TO SELF: remember to take glasses off if you're gonna get drunk and dance around like an asshole.
At least the show was good...
glasses = small sacrifice to the rock n roll gods...

V/A - "Life Is A Problem..."

Like Smithsonian Folkways, Document, Vanguard, and countless less prominent labels Mississippi Records has released a collection of rare, obscure, and wholly American music. The offerings here cover everything from straightforward gospel to swaggering slide guitar, soulful R&B, and gritty electric and country blues. Unlike many various artist compilations that have a narrower focus, the variety of styles is one...

Awesome. I didn't know about that album.

Speaking of which, let me know what you think of "My Pussy Belongs To Daddy." biggrin

(I've been a collector of live, unreleased, rare, and/or unusual music since the 70s)

thanks for the love on my set violette! biggrin

Figures Of Light - Smash Hits (Norton 2008)

It's hard to imagine a band releasing one single in 1972 that barely saw the light of day, let a lone a record store shelf, and managing to come back some 35 years later with something interesting to offer. But, you don't need to listen to the Figures Of Light for very long to realize they're not...

Haha, thanks! blush

I listened to them... They sound pretty cool, though a bit too punk for my taste nowadays. Another interesting band that didn't get a proper release in their day are Agamenon, have you heard them?

Ohh, you should listen to this in exchange!
ilsa:
Thanks! I'm listening to them right now and so far I really like it.
If you cannot find the album give me your gmail address and I'll try to send it to you smile
