I picked a copy of Radios Appear and was astounded. Unlike the stuff I'd been listening to (Black sabbath, Led Zeppelin... 70s rock), it was solid, rhythm-based rock and roll all the way through.

Same here. "Rocket to Russia," in fact, probably in '82. (After that I ran out and bought "Ramones," "Leave Home" and "Road to Ruin.") I remember trading tapes of The Fleshtones, Chesterfield Kings & Lyres in college in the mid-'80s, and of course, The Cramps were always a huge influence. Gotta admit that hearing The Mummies and Devil Dogs around '90 or '91(?) really got me into the whole "garage punk" thing full-force, though. Poison 13, too. A few years later I really started seriously hunting down the great '60s stuff, Pebbles, Nuggets, BFTG, etc., and acquiring tapes and whatnot. Running into PETEP on AOL's old chatrooms back around '94 helped, too. He made me tons of tapes of stuff I'd never heard before, and I'm forever grateful for that. > BTW. I just picked up the new Buff Medways record...I just don't get it. This > was the reason I stopped buying Headcoats releases. The first song is a pretty > decent rocker but, the rest of this platter leaves me cold. Their "Tribute to the Daggermen" 7" on Sympathy is pretty cool. I dunno, I have to admit I don't like 'em as much as his previous bands, but I like about half of that "This Is This" CD enough to play it often (at home as well as on the air). It's definitely got a heavy Hendrix influence (which I like). Give it a few more spins. It took a while for me to really get into it and maybe that'll work for you, too. I was bummed to see that the Holly Golightly/Masonics tour isn't coming thru STL, but they're at least playing in Columbia, two hours west of here. Just got the new Masonics disc from Vinyl Japan and I gotta say that after just one spin that it's a goodun'. kopper The Wayback Machine http://www.garagepunk.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 09:06:02 EST From: SOSBOMBS@aol.com Subject: Re: 60s garage 101 In a message dated 2/12/2002 6:22:16 AM Eastern Standard Time, zone65@bigpond.com writes: > 16-19 year-olds inspired I think you can even back that up to 14. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 08:38:04 -0600 From: Joe Emery Subject: Re: 13th floor elevators i thought i read that when Charley recs bought the rights Roky got a nice chunk of change. is that not the case? joe > From: owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com (bomp-digest) > Subject: bomp-digest V2002 #90 > > Both things have come out within the past couple months.

Greetings, I can relate to do wearing all black, and being all dark and artsy. For many years, that was me in a nutshell. Inspite of all that, I was still listening to garage rock (although my interest slipped away throughout the late 1980s and the first couple of years of the 1990s). Eventhough I was still an "alternative geek", I started to recapture my interest in garage rock with the purchase of "Beyond the Calico Wall" in 1994. That encouraged to move me away a little bit from all the Echo and the Bunnymen, the Church, the Mighty Lemon Drops, the Charlatans UK, the Stone Roses, Ride, Lush, My Bloddy Valentine, that I was listening all the time to (and still listen to today). It is amazing. I can listen to the Cranes as easily as I can to Burt Bacharach. I can listen to Bo Didley as easily as I can Kraftwerk. I can listen to Crass as easily as I can A Flock of Seagulls. I can listen to Captain Beefheart as easily as I can Phillip Glass. I can listen to New Order as easily as I can the Fuzztones. But I listen mostly to 1950s and 1960s rock n roll. I also listen 1970s and 1980s punk rock, garage, (and some neo psychedelic garage rock). Of course, I seem to not get enough Stereolab in my life.

I'd been wanting to check out Thee Headcoats and the Long Ryders, been craving the live Monks, and was slightly familiar with the Hate Bombs. The Hate Bombs disc was just what I'd expected it to be, and I look forward to finding the second album. The Long Ryders had that classic jangly Byrds sound yet still managed to sound contemporary, even for now with the "alt-country" movement. The Monks disc was a fun listen, but I still long to find my missing copy of the "black monk time" reissue. I'm still letting Thee Headcoats grow on me. The '60s/Downliners Sect influence is apparent, as is the Link Wray sound, but I'm not completely enthralled by Billy Childish's Sex Pistols type vocals yet. It's a good introduction though.

I have access to a Peavey Classic 50 (I think it's 50 it's a 212 combo amp) One preamp tube burned out about 5 years ago and it was replaced and worked fine and it's sitting in my friend's recording studio doing nothing after it started smoking a few years back (2nd incident). I can do what I want to it BUT 1) Does sound like it's just going to keep blowing up on me? What can be done to cure it? 2) If these are point to point (are you sure about that?) are there any mods that people can do to these Peavey Classics. 3) Does anyone remember Star Guitars from the late 70's in San Francisco? They used to sell guitar kits (strats, teles, P basses) (bolt on necks) Does anyone make like a Heath Kit for old amp designs? Kind of a cool idea. Kind of like the idea of Peavey in a way? You know a working man's low budget amp. Can one learn about amp wiring from some of these retro style Peaveys? I mean their cheap used so if I screw it up it's not like I'm working on a Fender or something.

A couple good songs, but that's about it. Now, the All Music Guide (whose reviews are extremely unreliable) sez "Rock Star God is far and away the Makers' best record". Is this accurate, 'cause if it is I ain't gonna waste my dough on their other discs? If not, which of their albums would change my mind? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 00:51:15 EST From: Redlabour@cs.com Subject: Re: The Makers Greetings, If "Rock Star God" is the one where they dress like glam rock guys, then that might not be the CD to get. I highly recommend "Howel" from 1993, "All-Night Riot" from 1994, and "Hunger" from 1997. In my opinion, its very much like the Seeds with more snarl.
