Hey Kopper,
You know I would love to see more discussion on this network just because I hate searchin through the webfor countless hours looking for garage shit. I believe I recall a while ago someone mentioned about doing record reviews for GP. I think that a would be great for non stop discussion. Will that ever happen?

Well, there are a couple of ways we can do this, Sumiji. We can set up a separate group for record reviews, then there'd be one place to go to read what people are saying about any particular release (and anyone could review anything they wanted). OR people can just post the reviews in the blog section of their pages... there are a lot of "review blogs" on the Web, why not have some here on the Hideout?

Dude definitely I feel we should open a group for all to chime in. I'll definitely contribute. Whatll yall think blog or group?

If I thought I could make enough money to live off of, I'd totally quit my job, rent a warehouse, set an online store up here, and make GaragePunk.com the Zappos of Rock'n'Roll.

I used to post regularly on the old garagepunk forums, but I don't use this hideout as much due to the fact that it gets blocked at work. I also dislike the way the messages are set up--too haphazard and cofusing, and Kopper, if you can get a circa 2002 "old school" looking bulletin board, I'd be more likely to post and participate. It seems like the bulletin board type message board gets past my work's filter. I really miss the old message board...it was a very inviting place.
In terms of other "garage punk" forums out there :I go on the goner records board, but that seems like a smaller, more insular group. The terminal boredom message board is ok, as well...but the musical tastes on that board generally span beyond the garage-punk type music I prefer.

I miss the garagepunk forums as well. Huge wealth of information on there. I learned a lot from it. I hate these social networking sites.

Its kinda what I was thinking, this site is great,but sometimes you just want to see who's playing what records are out and general stuff easily without trying to negotiate a maze, sometimes simple is best, its the garage way!

This is what we've got. Use it or don't. Thanks.

I am very new here but this site looks super cool, I plan to blab away and hopefully inspire others to do the same. There is a lot to learn especially about the very old obscure garage music. I sense a real happnin vibe here ! These podcasts are simply insane! Dig it baby!
