Danzig s/t i can't stand HIM but this album is fucking great Beatles - Thirty Days......17 CD's of the Get Back/Let It Be sessions ...my girlfriend was actually crazy enough to spend over $500 on this for me. I a huge Beatle collector but geez... Jeb ......you should check out the Nuggets box set comp. Heaps of great 60's garage, i actually have a vinyl copy of a 60's acid rock comp they did as well....

Hey Tracey
Yeah, I've got that Electric Prunes album, have you heard The Electric Prunes ad for the Voxx wah-wah pedal on the Pebbles comps? Very cool! I've also got Vol1 of 'Chocolate Soup...', love The Flies version of Stepping Stone, has to be one of the heaviest songs ever from that period. I've basically given up tracking down 60's stuff, way too hard to find and way too expensive, but while we talking comps of 60's garage stuff, one of my favourite collections is The Chosen Few Vol1, have you heard that one? And of course you can't go past 'Ugly Things', the aussie garage comp.

Thanks for all the recommendations, I'll have to check out some of this stuff and get a bit more educated about the sixties garage rock sounds.

, O.K. so I was "E"ing off my nut and I actually couldn't listen to any whole album but this is some of the stuff that got a spin... Honey's Dead - JESUS AND MARY CHAIN (This is the album a good friend played me before the jaw finally dropped (or the honey) and I decided that The Jesus and Mary Chain are fucking cool. There's that moment in the first song "Reverence" with the wah wah peddle sounding like when someone pulls the plug out of the bathtub. More a ripping kind of sound. Spin chilling really...) Heathen - DAVID BOWIE (Just got this one and it's blowing my mind. DB himself reckons this is the best thing he has done since "Scary Monsters", I personally was a big fan of all the stuff inbetween as well, "Outside", Black Tie White Noise", "Let's Dance"....Yeah this is the shit alright, Toni Visconti back in the producer's chair giving the strings on this album that big orchestrated dramatism that made stuff like "Hunky Dory" cool as well as the "found" sounds of albums like "Low" and "Heroes" and the simple acoustic backbone of "Space Oddity" and "The Man Who Sold the World". After hearing the two new Tom Waits albums I reckon something weird happens that makes you rock out harder when you reach 50! Emperor Deb - BLACK MOSES (This ones online at the Highbeam shop off the Lunasound Recording label. Haven't heard anything bad from this label yet which has other cool shit like Gorrilla, #D House OF Beef, and Mark D to name a few. Black Moses has a dude from THe Hypnotics which I heard at a dudes house once and thought was pretty cool (Saxophone and rocking riffs is the shit!). Black Moses has all those gnarly vintage fuzz sounds to kill for Vox Wah-Wah, Tonebender...The Shit! Making Orange Things - VENETIAN SNARES/SPEED RANCH (This one arrived in the mail yesterday. This is extreme electo-noise terrorism, more abrasive than the Aphex Twin I was listening to the other day. This makes no effort to follow traditional song stuctures and is a collision of sounds each trying to be more flesh rendering than the last. Perfect 6:00AM listening! BBC Sessions - THE BIRTHDAY PARTY (I think this came out sort of recently, one of those dredging the vaults type deals. Walls of feedback drenched in reverb, lurching swamp bass and Nick Cave screaming his head off. This has some of their best tunes done live. King Ink, Release The Bats, Sonny's Burning, Deep In The Woods, as well as more obscure covers of The Stooges "Loose" and a Rowland S. Howard tune "MArry Me, Marry ME (Lie Lie)... What the fuck am I doing awake at this time, I'm outta here...

, O.K. well a days listening can influence what sort of night will follow so I have no idea why these things ended up on my turntable (well thats not actually tue but so far today we have had Aladin Sane - DAVID BOWIE (Listening to "Heathen" with the bonus disc featuring an outake of "Panic In Detroit" I felt inspired to revisit this earlier classic. Bowie was on fire at this stage and this album was written on the road in America on the Ziggy Stardust tour. With classic songs such as Cracked Actor, Watch That MAn, Let's Spend the Night Together, Time and the title track this is one killer album. This is probably one of the best earlier albums to check out just how good Mike Garson is on the ivorys, for later stuff check out "Outside") Live & Lowdown at The Apollo Vol.1 1962 - JAMES BROWN (Just in the mood I guess. The Stones fest of last week put me in the mood for Rock and Roll with brass. james has one of the best and one ofthe most imitated screams in Rock. Cruisy album for a hazy Saturday) Hairway to Steven - BUTTHOLE SURFERS (When you realise that sometimes things will never make sense this is the album for that time. Has some brilliant soundscape stuff, jammed noise, some cool accoustic jaunts and the usual Butthole brand of insanity and perversion. Ohh this one has no song titles just strange pictures and shit, Really great album to listen to when you are shure you have lost the plot and need confirmation that there are other more insane people other than yourself...) Coffee....

, O.K. seeing as though everybody seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth I thought I'd post a few more things I've been listening to. Note that David Bowie's "Heathen" is still wedged in my stereo pretty firmly even though Lax Charisma from Hee Haw turned up at my house at 2:00 this morning off his face (he swears it was just to much Coke Cola) and kept saying that he is the self proclaimed saviour of Rotting Soul and because of that I should give him Heathen. I had to ask him to leave as much as I like Hee Haw because this is a respectable neighbourhood.... Live at Saint Quentin - JOHNNY CASH ( This is a fucking cool document of how a live album should sound. The guys from Sixfthick turned me on to this. Johnny is playing for a bunch of inmates and making jokes about all the drugs in his bag and the songs that he stole. He does unreal versions of a Boy Named Sue and Walk The Line and even plays Saint Quentin TWICE IN A ROW!!! on demand. Now that is what I call giving a crowd what they really want. Hey if it's good enough for Iggy Pop it's good enough for me. Tender Prey/Good Son - NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS (It was only a matter of time) Doom Saloon - POD PEOPLE (Get ye online or down to your local and buy this album for fuck sake, do it now!!! Talk about fucking heavy, fuck the new Korn album I need a new stereo to handle this fucker because my stereo shits itself when I put it on. I haven't been this interested in really heavy music since I went to The Phoenecian Club to see Cannibal Corpse tripping and realised I didn't want to be a serial killer like the rest of the crowd. This is heavy music you can smile to. It almost has a hippy element to it but it is so doomy, so melodic and so, so, so very fucking cool and that is without starting on the artwork. Please, please, please release a full size poster of this I need this on my wall) Self-Titled - SLIPKNOT (O.K. I kinda lied because I forgot that I got into Slipknot last year but only because I think they are very funny. People give me weird looks when I tell them this but I go into hysterics everytime I hear them, I don't know why it could be the masks it could be the fact that songs like People=Shit (off Iowa) make me laugh my fucking head off and it's all about fun right and I have fun listening to them, although I can't listen for too long because it gets on my nerves. I just wanted to hear the song on this album with the chorus of "Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, don't belong, don't exist, don't give a shit! don't ever judge me" says it all really I think the songs called "Surfacing". What the fuck ever happened to their Australian leg of the Iowa tour I wonder. I was psyched but I don't think I could be fucked now. Oh well back to the backyard Pod People fucking kick arse and keep me away from Bowie... ;D

, Fuck you Spectator you were awake anyhow I could hear my Bowie cd (Thats right mine so give, give) out on the street, and I think you forget that I too live in this building so it is my neigbourhood and I am the king... Anyhow as much as I love Pod People I played last night (where the fuck where you?) so I was trying to sleep when you decided to end that with that ear raising doom (you can keep your fucking Slipknot they don't compare to Pod) anyhow I know your asleep right now because you are a drug fiend so I'm going to be playing a fine selection of electonic music this evening because I know that the Ecstasy addled side of your brain will respond and keep you from sleeping you bastard... Angst Soundtrack - (Mostly David Thrussel from Snog. Cool dark sounding shit with distorted vocals and Germanic accents. The surprise track is "Collaborator", by Simon Day (Ratcat). It has a spaghetti guitar line in it that is killer. Daves other project Soma is pretty cool too. It has that sound that Radiohead have been exploring on their last few albums although this guy is an Australian legend and has been doing cool shit like this for years. When will people realise...) Big Science - LAURIE ANDERSON (It has been a while and I thought I would check it out again. Avante Garde spoken word stuff which I have found very inspirational at times. That and I know that Spectator can't fucking stand it. Wake me up bastard...) Foolish Thing Desire - DANIEL ASH (This is my trump card over Spectator, he thinks "Coming Down" is the shit (because he is a drug fiend) but this is a more realised effort. Less overt Jesus and Mary Chain influence and (Ha! Ha! knocking on my door that I want be answering) and incorporates tasteful female vocals, brass, more of those cool guitar lines that made Bauhaus so fucking cool and is just overall a more ambitious release) La, La, Land - GREEN VELVET (I don't buy much dance music but this particuliar track caught my attention. I think it's because I find it so amusing that people would dance to a song about how Ecstasy will kill millions of brain cells whilst they are on Ecstasy, I guess like the thrill of watching a room full of Yobs sing "Sucked a Lot of Cock" at Regurgitator gigs. Well Spectator is awake now so I can go back to listening to the "Rock".... ;D ;D ;D

, Touchy! touchy! It's been a bit quiet up there for a few days Lax are you dead. I thought I heard a guitar yesterday about 4:00 but I could be wrong... O.K. Computer - RADIOHEAD (It had been a while and I was in the mood. THis album gets better with time and without hype spoiling the listening experience. Haven't really checked out their later stuff though) White Blood Cells - THE WHITE STRIPES ( I can't get enough of this album it resurfaces every couple of days without fail).. Thats all for now, I was just bored ;D ;D

, Fuck! Legends of Motorsport's new e.p. "Beef With Cheese" is that fucking sludgy the paint peeled off my walls and it is fucking hilarious to boot. A fucking strong contender for my Top.5 cd's of the year (at least in the e.p. category). If you have downloaded "Cream" or "On a Clearnight" you might know what I'm talking about. My fav track is RX7. This guy is a fucking slut man, I thought it was a woman singing but I think it could be Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror Picture Show..."Fuck This Machine"..First Pod and now this Highbeam is on a fucking roll....and then VOLUME "Requesting Permission to Land", classic elements fused with modern production. The most tripped out Pschedelic effects since Magnet, this too is the shit. Better raid the piggy bank guys you need these discs. We haven't even got the new Monstrous Blues, El Sanchez or Hee Haw discs yet or Shifter. Man it is fucking Christmas all year this year ;D ;D ;D

, No try as I may I could not take the thought of removing Legends of Motorsport/VOLUME from the cd player today. A fucking good cure for David Bowie addiction. I did manage to tear out the disc a while ago to listen to the Traces of Nut demo. This is fucking cool, these guys rock. The cd is not quite as good as the band is live but fuck man it is just a demo and they got it done for free so who's complaining. Keep your eyes out for these guys as they most definetley are "The Shit"...

The Fags 'truly' has been on extremely high rotation on my mp3 player at work, check it out if you're into power pop. The band has been described as Cheap Trick meets The Cars meets The Posies. I love it! Download it now! www.idol-records.com/soundz/ir037.mp3goo

SEWERGROOVES - "Revelation Time" - A fine dose of Swedish garage rock injected with just enough pop-sensibility and loads of melodic hooks! THE AWESOME MACHINE - "Under The Influence" THE KINKS - "The Kinks"
