MonkeyBeat: 2010

MonkeyBeat 57: Berwyn Rocks

It's all about digging up the past this week, with live recordings from the old Garageshock Festivals, new music from old artists & few audio snippets in tribute to a hero from my youth, Svengoolie ... Heck, who am I kiddin? I was in my early 30's last time I watch his show. It's the one thing I miss most about not living in the Chicago area. Sorry, Grandma, you're a distant #2!

This week I announce the winner of the George Lynch Mr. Scary G2G Pedal Giveaway. I also discuss some of the comments left for the last show, and play a ton of new music.

Win a brand new George Lynch G2G Mr Scary Signature guitar effects pedal. To enter, just leave a comment on this post before Midnight (PST) October 23rd, 2010.

Hatred and aggression are the themes this week. From telling jocks to fuck off, to making fun of fatties, to Indian rapers with cities named after them. Of course it's all bundled in sugary sweet melodies to help it go down better.

MonkeyBeat 53: It's The Music That Makes Me

It's all about high energy music this week, starting with a slew of new tracks including tracks from Stomp Records, followed by the garage-slop sound of Slovenly Records. Then a bit of a live bootleg recording of Paul Collins' set from his show in Portland last week, and a set of tunes by the bands who opened for him.

This show kicks off with some Pinoy Rock, followed by trip around the world for some of the rockinest tunes known to man, ending with a taste of less than docile cow punk.

Lots of ranting on this episode as I send a message to those playing "The Podcasting Game", explain the physics of fat guy love, crack into a package of records I received from Michael Lucas (of Repent Records & The Phantom Surfers), plus the usual bunch of new music.

Download: The Organ Beat - Sleep When We Are Dead

The Organ Beats are now offering their first release "Sleep When We Are Dead" as a free download via Bandcamp.com
You now have no excuse not to know all of their songs.

MonkeyBeat 50: I Will Hobble You!

Lot's of rockers on this show. I also discuss my enjoyment for the current #2 song in the USA, good parents, seeing The Gories play live, why I might stop going to a lot of live shows & why Will Smith should be "Parent Of The Year".

Gabba on Beat Room

According to internet-lore (AKA wikipedia), Gabba first took shape in the mind of Londoner Stig Honda in 1996 when he put together a group to play the music of Abba in the style of The Ramones. Three years later he christened the group Gabba and released their first (official) album "Leaving Stockholm". They quickly caught the attention of the UK media who fawned all over their act, gaining them write ups in rock journals like Mojo, Melody Maker & NME. They did a few live sessions for BBC, including the one featured in this post. All this love came to an end less than a week after the release of their 2001 album "Tijuana Dance", when it was banned by UK officials for being "Anti-Establishment" due to Spanish lyrics that accused the Queen of England of being a Nazi Storm trooper.
As with most novelty acts you have to take all supposed "facts" about them with a bucket of salt. The truth is that the act's novelty kind of wears thin after about 15 minutes, and lacking the musicianship of a band like Beatallica, they really had nowhere to go after their first album. Really that is all a band like this should last anyways, or else they turn into an annoyance like Dread Zeppelin.
So enjoy the above clip, and know that you most likely are seeing one of the worst ~~Howard Stern~~ Joey Ramone impersonations ever.

MonkeyBeat 49: Warts & All

Some gremlins got lose in the recording gear here, so there is a bit of a whine heard anytime my mic goes on. But let's face it, you don't listen to this show to hear my yapping. You listen because of the great music & this episode has bucketfuls of that!

MonkeyBeat 48: Napping Time

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The Nomads - Virus 1999

I've always been shocked that The Nomads aren't one of the biggest bands in the world. They surely have the songs & the performing chops, to stand along side any platinum selling arena rockers going in the last 30 years. They even had a ton of support from the music establishment, with folks like Peter Case, Jeffery Lee Peirce & Scott McCaughey all penning tunes for them. They also had guests like Johnny Thunders, Joey Ramone & Handsome Dick Manitoba appear on their records. Yet they remain mostly a band know to only the most die hard rock fans, outside of their home of Sweden. In a perfect world, the two songs in this clip would be million selling hits, but instead we live in a world rules by morons who would rather listen to music resembling an off balanced washing machine.
The first song "I've Seen Better" comes from their "Big Sound 2000" album, while the second song "(I'm) Out Of It" (co-written by McCaughey) is from quite possibly their best album "Powerstrip".

Little know fact: The Art Production on their 1996 EP "The Cold Hard Facts of Life" was done by (a then unknown) Neko Case!

I think the heat melted my mind while recording this one. I start out pretty much sharp and on top of announcing the music being played. However, about 45 minutes into it I seem to mess up even the simplest of band names and song titles. Make sure you follow what is printed below, not your brain dead announcer, on this one.
All an all the music on here makes a great soundtrack to a hot summer day.

Songs played:

The Wildhearts - Zeen Requiem
Jim Jones Revue - High Horse
Gunsmoke - Nothing Left To Say
Richmond Fontaine - The Gits
The Ruiners - Happy Birthday Bitch!
The Makers - She's Going Under
Question Mark & The Mysterians - Don't Give It Up Now
The Monks - Monk Time (Live in Berlin 2006)
The Hard-Ons - Pretend It's Vanilla
Visqueen - Lovely Guilty
Ken Stringfellow & The Disciplines - No Vacancy
Gorevette - Nothings Gonna Stop Me
The Untamed Youth - Interview/Mailbox Jamboree
The Mummies - Victim of Curcumstances
Hoodoo Gurus - What's In It For Me? (Live)

Show Notes:

The Wildhearts' track I played can be downloaded here
While you're waiting on the new Jim Jones Revue CD to come out, check out their session for Daytrotter
Gunsmoke posted the link to download their new album (for whatever you feel it's worth) at their homepage
The Gits documentary I mentioned is available on Netflix (DVD & streaming) or can be bought at Amazon
Question Mark & The Mysterians are still going strong, and recently played Ponderosa Stomp Detroit Breakdown at Lincoln Center. The performance from that show and an out-of-this-world interview with ? were broadcast (and archived) on WFMU's Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz
If you need more The Untamed Youth (who doesn't?), Deke-O-Rama hipped me that (4-camera with soundboard audio!) videos of The Untamed Youth and Deke Dickerson with The Modern Sounds from this years' show at El Sol in Madrid have been posted on Ustream by Beringola
"Victim of Circumstances" was originally recorded by Roy Junior.
The Hoodoo Gurus' track I played came from a recent session they did at Triple M. Video of it can be seen here. The original version of the song can be found on their latest album "Purity of Essence"

The Dictators - Irving Plaza Feb 7th, 1981

July 26th 2010 marks the 34th anniversary of the first time The Dictators took the stage at CBGB's. While I have yet to find footage of that monumental event, I present you here the next best thing, The 'Tators ripping it up at Irving Plaza in the winter of 1981.
These 7 songs were filmed at one of the string of reunion gigs the guys did that year, just a few days before the performance that would be released by ROIR as "Fuck Em If They Can't Take a Joke" (and later as "Live - New York New York"). They play with a fire that makes one wonder what might have been if the band hadn't called it quits three year earlier.
Thankfully, the last decade has seen them return to playing on a semi-regular basis, including the release of the excellent "D.F.F.D." album and the live document "Viva Dictators".

You can download the m4v file here. Those of you on slow connections, or who don't wish to download larger files can view it on Youtube in 3 parts. (Part 1 Part 2 Part 3)

Billy Childish at Annandale Hotel in Sydney Dec 6th, 2005

Here's some fine audience shot footage of Billy Childish & the Musicians Of The British Empire. The gig was billed as a Buff Medways show, but the lineup here is the same as the MBE. I've always found it hard to keep track of whatever name Billy is using for his current trio, especially since he tends to draw from his entire catalog no mater what band he's with.
Here he plays (Thee Mighty Caesars') Lie Detector, (The Buff Medways') Unable To See The Good and (Thee Headcoats') Girl From '62.

MonkeyBeat 46: If I Could Only Remember My Name....

It's an odds & sods show this week, as I toss tunes that have been laying around into a pot to make a menudo for your ears. I also do my usual bit of bitching and complaining, question if there is more than one HeWhoCannotBeNamed, talk about better podcasts you should be listening to, and continually lose my train of thought and setlist.

Songs played:

Micky - La Cuenta Atras
Pure Country Gold - Moanin' In The Moonlight
Lo-Lite - Right Thing
Walter Daniels & The Gospel Clodhoppers - Take Your Foot Out Of The Mud
Thunderosa - Shut Down
The Elderberries - Impostor
Annita Babyface & The Tasty Poneys - No Problem For Good Sex
HeWhoCannotBeNamed - Wake Up
Francine - I Don't Give A Damn

The Nervebreakers - My Girlfriend Is A Rock

Show Notes:

Check out The PDR Podcast for a great interview with Eric Davidson (NSFW), author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001
Find out more about the Norwegian bands I played on this show, by visiting their record label House Of Rock. However be careful what links you click off their page. The hostsite blogg.no appears to be some type of social network site, and the label owner (& lead singer of Caroline and The Treats) is adult entertainer Caroline Andersen (NSFW) "The Unstoppable Sandwich Queen"
If you hurry you can get one of the last few copies of Walter Daniels & The Gospel Codhoppers' 7 inch on Ghost Highway Records

Real Kids - Outta Place

I was looking through some old DVDs I've had kicking around an found this choice clip from The Real Kids performing "Outta Place" back in November 1982 on the old Boston TV show "5 All Nite Live". Not sure where I originally found it, but I couldn't find it posted anywhere on the old internets so I uploaded it myself.
Enjoy.

Andy Shernoff - Be True To Your School

I've repeatedly mentioned on the show what a huge fan I am of Andy Shernoff of The Dictators, and how only in the last few months he has started to play solo shows. Well imagine my delight as I happened across this clip of him performing solo on Glenn O'Brien's TV Party back in 1979. The host mentions that Andy had also performed on the show the week before, but I have yet to see that episode yet.

MonkeyBeat 45: MonkeyBeat Sucks

Limited rambling on this show due to me having limited time to record, so I fill the rest of the time playing good music. I also find time to do another blind listening to a band that is currently #33 on a local music chart.

Songs played:

The Hives - Early Morning Wake Up Call
The Goldstars - You Crossed The Line
The DT's - God Damn World
Mongoose - No Anthem
The Sonic Graffiti - Mystery Number
Radio Dead Ones - Take It On Trust
The Snipes - Devil I Know
Jeff The Brotherhood - U Got The Look
Moonhearts - Can't Find My Way
The Biggest Bird You've Ever Seen - Mystery Machine
Ross & Brad from The Ladonnas - The Warrior (Un-released Demo)
The Poppers - "Dogdom" Blues
The Loons - Heyday
The Parting Gifts - Keep Walking
Pierced Arrows - The Doorway

Show Notes:

To hear the complete sucks piece (all 12 minutes of it) that I splattered through out the show, check out the July 6th 2010 episode of The Best Show On WFMU
Thanks again to Brad from the Ladonnas for sending me the demo to play
Purchase The Haiti Project featuring 16 great artists including The Sonic Graffiti, and Radio Dead Ones. Plus 100% of the profits go to Haiti Relief
David from the From The Burro podcast let me know that I was wrong about Jeff The Brotherhood being a one man band. It's actually two brothers. Which makes sense to me now.

The rambling returns! I take time off from setting up my new studio, and explain my recent absence from the "podcasting game".

Songs played:

Blood Red Shoes - It Is Happening Again
Paul Collins - Doin' It For The Ladies
King Louie's Missing Monuments - Black Rainbow
The Len Price 3 - Mr Grey
The Booze - Hate City Nights
Ronnie Dawson - Sucker For A Cheap Guitar
Pat Todd & The Rankoutsiders - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
The Sticks - Night Of Pleasure

JJ & The Real Jerks - Hooky
Davila 666 - Alerez
Dirtbombs - Secret Code
White Mystery - Switch It Off
Night Birds - Prognosis; Negative
The Dirty Sweets - Teenage Jerk
The Overnight Lows - Last Meal For The Underachiever
The Swanton Bombs - Waistland
Shonen Knife - Economic Crisis

Show Notes:

The opening bit was taken from the educational film "Helping Johnny Remember". Ashleigh Nankivell did and hilarious re-edit of it that can be found here.
I forgot to say anything about The Sticks when I played them on this episode. They are a trio from Brighton, U.K. and list The Keggs as one of their influences. What more do you need to know, to know that they are worth lending your ears to?
Listen to White Mystery perform a great live set on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T. or download it from the Free Music Archive.
On the show, I falsely said that "Teenage Jerk" was by Dirty Sweet. It's actually by the Austin, TX band The Dirty Sweets and can be found on their "Bubblegum Damaged" CD on Rip-Off Records. Their guitarist now plays in the band Love Collector which is also worthy of your listening time.
Here's a site that shows you how to perform The Swanton Bomb as made famous by pro-wrestler Jeff Hardy. You'll most likely break your back or cripple your little brother doing it, but give it a try anyways. It will give you a good story to tell when people ask why you can't sit up straight on a bar stool.

Stream Roky Erickson and Okkervil River : True Love Cast Out All Evil

Bucketfull Of Brains hipped me that Relix is hosting a stream of the complete Roky Erickson and Okkervil River album "True Love Cast Out All Evil". It's not due to hit the street until Tuesday, but it's already garnering favorable reviews from Spin & Pitchfork, but don't hold that against the album. Listen to it for yourself here.

The show takes a bit of a country bend, as I discuss attending a country music battle of the bands and play some music by one of the competing bands. Also I sing the praises of Rankoutsider Records by featuring a few of the great artists on their roster. Along the way I throw in a bunch of new music & a number one hit song (in Holland).

Songs played:
The Neighborhood Bullys - Spin It
The Black Tongued Bells - Rattle Some Bones
Scott Kempner - Blame Me
Dan Reeder - Food and Pussy

Sonic Avenues - I Want You Now
Hacienda - You're My Girl
The 75's - I Wanna Kill My Boyfriend

Show Notes:

The Plimsouls track I played is from "Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal" on Alive Records. The recording is from 1981 and has been floating around as a bootleg for awhile. However, this version is from the new official release which has been sound. I received the track as a free download from No Depression.
Danko Jones' new single "Full Of Regret" can be downloaded for free here.
The Baseball Projects' song "Cubs 2010" can be downloaded for free here.

Otis Gibbs - Joe Hill's Ashes

I mentioned on the last show how much I've been enjoying Otis Gibbs' latest album "Joe Hill's Ashes". I can't state strongly enough how good it is, so I decided to post the stream of it here on the site.

If you like it, you can download it at Bandcamp.com for $9.99 in 320kbs MP3 or FLAC lossless formats.

I was wrong on the title of Otis Gibbs' previous album. It's actually Grandpa Walked a Picketline
I tried to record this show using WavPad & MixPad. WavPad worked fine for the recording, but when I tried to mix everything using MixPad I got an endless series of crashes. In the end I went back to using Reaper to mix the show.

While searching around for cool tunes to add to this weeks show I happened upon the website for Rockpalast. You might already know, that Rockpalast is a TV show in Germany that features performances by rock bands at various festivals. However, unlike TV here in the US they feature bands that might not be on a major or have a arena size draw.
Currently the Rockpalast site is hosting videos by Baby Woodrose, The Beasts of Bourbon, The Bellrays, Boss Martians, The Cynics, Danko Jones, Hayseed Dixie, The Pretty Things & about 150 other artists. These are whole 30 to 70 minute performances!
The videos don't stay up forever so watch them while you can.
