pleading and needy

But even when they are lovestruck, they sound surly and insolent That's also done by The Electric Prunes - and originally written by Goffen-King

I think what they get from the Brits isn't just the rave-up thing via Yardbirds and distortion overload, it's the meanness and the sneering, taunting tone directed at women. Which I don't think is in the original R&B (could be wrong, but I don't think so). It's added on by the Brit boy-men, the...

I like it when things "produced" though as well - all the modish psych studio effects

Quite a lot of glam and glitter - the most lumpen sorts - is so basic in appeal and so underproduced that it's virtually garage punk. Like Mud - surprisingly raw, pummelling tunes, until they went retro-rockabilly. Which explains when all the garageheads and 'killed by death' 70s-punk...

This is from '72 but I was surprised how raw and garage-y it is, albeit with a Larry Graham-ish bass pulse. Somehow never heard it before until a few days ago (despite the "what we going to do right now is go back" sample as used endlessly). Surprised to learn it was a #6 pop hit in America...

When it comes to raw black music, this is moving into a heavy / acid-rock / Hendrixy zone but really still pretty garage-y, even with the time-slowing-down sequence (dub ahead of its time) even rawer live - but interestingly they do the dubby clock-winding-down bit completely live onstage...

On the Dylan-ish talk-sing tip, there's this Apparently Mouse believed that Dylan ripped him off!

Yeah that's We the People - probably my favorite garage tune ever They also did a couple of lovely psych tunes

Although a lot of these bands were reactive to the Brit Invasion - primarily Stones Yardbirds Them Kinks Animals - it's not like they didn't have any recent American stuff to draw on - Link Wray, the noisier surf bands, the Sonics / North West sound, "Louie Louie" ... it's a moot point...

i could literally sit here all night posting garage punk but I'll stop (for now) with this one

probably more than Beatles or Stones it's Yardbirds many of these are trying to rip off - but the best of them are about 100 x more exciting

another killer from the same comp

here's a fave from Mindrocker Vol 4 - great breakdown at 1.21

referencing if not recorded at (their worst album)

Did an email interview with him once - he was quite irascible. Bit like how I'd imagine interviewing Ennio Morricone would be like (very much the Maestro according to a journalist friend who did get to speak to the Great Man). I expressed enthusiasm for his unusually dissonant and amorphously...

was wondering if the title was going to get corrected

As well as bigging up the Raincoats here, Cobain also wrote a nice note for the first-time-on-CD reissue of The Raincoats's debut album in '93 (and presumably his enthusiasm and clout led to it coming on DGC, Nirvana's record label): FROM A STOWAWAY IN AN ATTIC I know a lot of coolies who suck...

According to Pitchfork, Kurt Cobain's liner note to the Nirvana compilation Incesticide is legendary "A while ago, I found myself in bloody exhaust grease London again with an all-consuming urge to hunt for two rare things: back issues of NME rumored to be secretly hidden in glass casings and...

not afrobeats but African and involving beats - what's are the feelings about ampiano?
