Acid Rock ('n'Roll) is rooted in a period in time -- Mystic Tide "Frustration," Craig, "I Must Be Mad," Pebbles volume 3, 30 Seconds Before the Calico Wall, Beyond the Calico Wall, etc. Psychedelic ('n'Roll) is more a collection of ideas than a specific set of sounds -- from early morning psychedelic stuff like the Who "Sell Out," and so on, to later art-experimental stuff like Wire, Gang of Four, "Anthrax," Can, Vibrasonic, the Mermen... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 09:28:37 -0800 From: "Chris Owen" Subject: Target Record Shelves I don't know how many it holds (there's a task, i should count my records...) but since I transferred from milk crates, I can tell you it would easily hold 10 milk crates full of records. >http://www.target.com/common/catalog/product.jhtml?navAction=push&navCo unt=2&prodid=83069&catnav=71662 How many LP's will it hold?

The running order on that one is so well picked. Who came up with calling this hybrid form of garage/punk acid? A very diverse album, yet when playing it it seems to make sense. All other compilations after this one claiming to be Acid punk (the Beyond the calico wall etc.) never worked as well as this one did. The very one song to define "Acid" as in acid garage must be T.C. Atlantic's "Faces". They must have made more stuff on this level (besides their blues-rock album), so am I the only one to look very much foreward to the upcoming T.C. Atlantic comp?

The problem is his amp. when we play our music it sounds more like gluecifer or the hellacopters than straight garage rock, because the guitar is too beefy. he's tried everything on that amp, and he can't get a good lo fi sound. any suggestions other than buying a whole new (or old) amp. good pedals?

Steve, an original Medallion, died on January 29th after a long battle with Cancer. Forty Years ago he helped lay the foundation for our band. We are honored to keep the tradition alive. Caldwell was a saxophonist and vocalist with The Swingin' Medallions--the Greenwood, South Carolina frat-rock group that gave the world the great record, "Double Shot of My Baby's Love." The group was formed in 1962 as The Medallions. Other members were John McElrath (keyboards), Carroll Bledsoe (trumpet), Joe Morris (drums), Jimbo Doares (guitar), Charles Webber (trumpet), Brent Forston (keyboard, saxophone, flute) and James Perkins (bass). The group became The Swingin' Medallions, most likely to differentiate themselves from the LA doo wop group on Dotone, when they cut a single for Dot ("Bye Bye Silly Girl"/"I Want to Be Your Guy") that went nowhere in 1965. The next year they cut "Double Shot" and it was first released on the Four Sale label, but was soon picked up by Mercury subsidiary, Smash. It became a Top Twenty pop hit. The song became very popular. It has been covered by The K- Otics, The Original Symptons, The Soulful Seven and Clifford Curry. In 1983, Joe Stampley cut it and was rewarded with a Top 10 Country hit. The group's next single,"She Drives Me Out of My Mind," is another great song, but did not fare as well. Smash stuck with the group for a total of six singles and an album, on which the group covered such classics as "Louie Louie," "Wooly Bully" and "Hang on Sloopy." The LP only made it to number 88 on Billboard's album chart and A&M cut them loose. The Swingin' Medallions then cut non-charters for Capitol and 1-2-3. In 1967, Caldwell and Forston left the group to form Pieces of Eight, which recorded for A&M and Mala Records. In 1969, they re- cut "Double Shot." McElrath keeps The Swingin' Medallion's name alive, playing dates in the South to this day. The current group features some of McElrath's sons. See the website for more information. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 15:27:04 -0800 (PST) From: ed flynn eDz SoNiC sPaCe Subject: Re: this aint supposed to be cock-rock I'd suggest using less distortion on the amp; Marshalls DO have a huge sound. The Big Muff (heh, heh, I said muff) distortion pedal is good; you can get some nice biting tones out of that one. Perhaps playing the guitar with the bridge pickup on only might give him the higher, cutting sound that you're looking for. What guitar does he use? Gibsons have that big fat sound, while Fenders are more on the treble side and would cut thru the Marshall ooze better for this purpose. - --ed, Gibson player - --- Jason Killinger wrote: > > hey all, > here's what I need help on. the guitar player in my band plays with > a > marshall head and marshall half stack. that's the only amp he owns. > our > songs are supposed to sound like a punk rock version of james brown > mixed > with a lot of influence from the sonics.

I think I have SOME of the requirements. I read MOJO, drink Jagermeister, eat White Castle Burgers (bought by the box in the grocery store-no WC's in CT), and watch porn (usually with my wife).

Garage Punk is definitely in! I'm not taking a stand, just continuing with the terminology I have used and staying away from the terms I don't. I'm not even suggesting people stop using the term "garage rock", tho' that would be great. I have just never cared for the term "garage rock" because "rock" music replaced rock and roll and was something different w/o the innocence and energy and fun of rock and roll. "Rock" music was serious, know your chops, supposedly legitimate music to the some. Now if you want to call it "garage rock and roll", I'm with ya' 100%, but this is a bit lenghty so "garage punk" is more convenient, or just "garage". And "garage punk" is the original punk, so I would encourage the use of that term. Call it all what you like....so will I.

LPs which overhang beyond the front edge of the shelf tend to pitch the entire unit forward...even a 1/4" of LP mass hanging over the edge can cause the pitch. And the higher you go the worse it gets. So if you build, um, a mobile (not-to-be-permanently-affixed-to-the-wall) unit, with shelves that allow for a little LP overhang (as you can buy precut, edged, plastic laminated shelving @ 11.5" deep from Home Depot), cut the side/walls at a bias, er...at an angle, like so the bottom is wider and sticks out a bit farther than the very top...this keeps the unit more stable and less prone to unwanted forward movement. OR at least make sure your shelves are deep enough (13"+) to hold the entire volume of a LP...with shelves at this depth the shelf loaded w/LPs should pitch backward. oh, even well constructed, balanced shelves should ALWAYS be attached to a wall with a corner bracket (I think thats what their called). Just for added safety and stability...it'd really suck for all your LPs to fall down and go BOOM on you...your kid...grandma, the dog...or in earthquakes...as my shelves are screwed to the wall my LPs on the top shelves only scooted forward only 2" during Seattle's 6.8 quake of 2001... and if there is any unfinished lumber used, which can be a bit rough for tender seams, cover the wood, painted or unpainted, well paint 'em and cover 'em with self adhesive plastic contact paper... BTW...the Ikea 6'x6' shelves are great looking and worth the $$$. nipper ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2002 #77 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
