The other thing you should know is that the club has a genuine following among lovers of Sixties beat music. Some clubs like this divide up along tribal lines - they are either mod or rocker clubs, and can be rather cliquey if you turn up in the wrong gear. Not Dirty Water, which has a deliciously relaxed feel. The club plays original Sixties garage bands, authentic R&B, bits of psychedelia, even some Seventies punk. The bands booked here are always excellent - Thee Headcoats played their last ever gig here last May. This month's live bands are The Rapiers, a London combo specialising in recreating the Merseybeat stompers and guitar instrumentals of the first half of the Sixties, supported by the superbly named Dalek Beach Party and the Dirty Water DJs.

This enabled punchier results when mixing (to mono, natch) but there really wasn't any provision for doing a proper stereo mix with such a setup, not until the advent of four-track in around 1963/64 (in the UK at least). Interestingly, mono mixes often remained the main focus of attention thereafter, with stereo mixes often only being done as an afterthought until much later in the 60s. Singles, for example, were rarely issued in stereo until around 1970, with the advent of progressive labels such as Harvest and Vertigo - singles just weren't previously thought "important" enough to warrant a stereo mixdown! Also, a note for Nancy Neon re old reel tape recorders - there's a fair bit of info on the web - try http://www.callnetuk.com/home/terrym/index.htm as a starting point. chiz phil dil >Anohter example: the stereo version of the Hondells'"Little Honda," where >with the twist of a knob you can hear an acapella version on one speaker and >an instrumental version on another.

It really irritates me that a > bunch of people from out of town will only see bands they already know about > and won't get a chnace to see any of the fabulous Austin bands. I'm kind of undecided on this one. GarageShock was never truly about local bands when it was in Bellingham. Almost every band that played had had something out on Estrus (be it a single, comp, etc.) or would be soon. The idea was to showcase what the label had to offer and have a good time. There were probably a couple local bands on the bill, occasionally, but rarely would they have been groups that weren't associated in some way w/Estrus. Now, I'm all in favor of having some local acts on there. There are many in the Austin area that'd fit right in. But what it comes down to is that it's their show. They're putting it together. Granted, I have no idea why they've chosen to move it out of Bellingham. (Does anyone know?) On the other hand, it's probably cheaper for me to fly to Austin than Seattle, so I'm not complaining. If I like the lineup, I'll go. Here's a suggestion: Put together an Austin Rock'n'Roll Extravaganza and make it into an annual event. Yeah, I know SXSW already happens, but I'm talking about something much smaller, but nice and wild. I'm betting some of the gang down there could do some pretty great stuff... BBQs in the afternoon w/maybe a band or two and DJs, lotsa bands at night, and maybe a Fuzz Club, etc. into the wee wee hours. - - Blair ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 09:19:15 -0600 From: "Emery, J."

It may be flawed but it's still a decent source of information for the discerning music enthusiast, and a lot of writers - Richie Unterberger and Cub Koda, for instance - show at least a reasonable grasp of the big beat and/or pretty good taste. There's some relatively obscure stuff listed, too. Crawdaddy Simon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 23:00:15 -0800 From: "Dan Collins" Subject: Sunday's "Surfin' In Inner Space" Hi All, The last few weeks for "Surfin' In Inner Space" have been rather bleak... First of all, I'm learning that the internet radio station (dublab) that I work for is, like so many of the .com business out there today, rapidly coming into financial difficulties so gruesome, it may not stay on the "air" much longer. Even making it for another show on Sunday will be a lucky thing. Secondly, I learned recently of the death of one of the most creative young movers and shakers on the L.A. scene, Peter Geiberger. He was fond of hosting pirate radio events at his home that included sets by yours truly, and did a lot of great things with the Cacophony society to promote art, music, and general mirth and good feelings for all. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him, even by those who didn't know him but who were touched by him in ways they probably didn't even know about. This Sunday's show was dedicated to him (to learn more, please visit http://la.cacophony.org/CS_memoriam.html). Included below are the songs I played, some of which were favorites of Peter's during those late-night pirate radio sessions we shared. Los Saicos – Come On Joe Meek & the Blue Men – Glob Waterfall Pasquale & His Lunar Tiks – Moon Madness Les Lutins – La Junglomanie The Velvet Underground – I Love You (demo) The Revels – Intoxica Bob Ridgley – The Way Out Mummy Sunny & the Sunliners – Hip Huggin' Mini Los Kifers – El Sol Es Una Droga Los Saicos – (Fugitivo) De Alcatraz The Sonics – Cinderella Twentieth Century Zoo – You Don't Remember The Electras – Action Woman Hal Blaine & the Young Cougars – The Phantom Driver Mott's Men – She's So Mean The Visions – Route 66 The Crossfires – Chunky The Atlantics – Beaver Shot The Sparkles – No Friend of Mine Teddy & His Patches -- Suzy Creamcheese Thee Schumann Combo – Aladin The Centuries – 4th Dimension The Bomboras – Return of the Deathray 1910 Fruitgum Company – Special Delivery The Madmen – Alfred E. Goes Surfin' The Astronettes – Firewaters of Alpha Gabba The Twiliters – Girl From Liverpool The Gestures – Run Run Run The Zombies – Tell Her No The Velvet Underground – Ocean (demo) Los Saicos – El Entierro De Los Gatos Ralph Nielsen & his Chancellors – Scream The Backgrounds – The Day Breaks at Dawn The Phantom Five – Graveyard The Tuffies – Mucho Macho Muchachos The Trashmen – Malaguena The Boss Martians – XKE! The Royal Malads – Journey to the Stars Los Saicos – Cementerio Peter, if you're out there somewhere, picking up earthly communications, I'm sure you can tell that this last song, "Cementerio," by Los Saicos, says everything I couldn't say. Later, Dan "DJ GREMLIN" Collins _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 20:59:46 -0500 From: "Lenny Smith" Subject: Re: All Music Guide Crawdaddy Simon wrote: >I say give the AMG a break 'cause there's nothing like it on the Web.

There's some relatively obscure stuff listed, too. I'm with you, Simon. For every factual gaffe there are dozens and dozens of useful pieces, often really GOOD pieces, in many cases on people that no one ever seems to bother writing about elsewhere. It's like anything else on the Web--just because someone's gone to the trouble of putting it up there doesn't necessarily make it accurate. In fact, the Web is an enormous frontier of texts that you have to take at face value, much of the time not subject to any fact checking process like you would (or at least SHOULD) get with a quality publishing house. So the info is only as good as whoever wrote it. Fortunately, as you point out, AMG has some sharp and knowledgeable contributors.
