What is your one most favorite thing about the GaragePunk Hideout? also your one least favorite thing.

[DEPRAVOS DE LA MOUR]

this is not an attack or an ass kissing session. this is something we could all possibly use to better take advantage of the sight. this can be petty or deep. it would all be helpful. we are all mostly united in our fondness.

[Marty Shane, Pacifiction Records]

Favorite thing: Discovering new music, I mean old music that is new to me!

 

Least favorite thing: All the action seems focused in the main forum and not enough going on in the groups.

It's all about the podcasts, those things are where I learn about cool new (to me) music. It's a bit of a shame though that the bars in my city aren't tuned into this site, instead they are on myspace which grinds my computer to a halt every time I use the bloody thing.

hi mike,

 what is your city? from the "bloody" we bet it ain't tulsa! a bit confused as to how the bars are tuned into myspace or the way that a bar could be tuned into garage punk hideout. do you mean that their websites feature music or bands from myspace?

The only negative I could say is that the frequent, on topic (non spam) discussion around here seems to only be limited to a handful of members, I mean, there is obviously a lot information shared between all of us but I belonged to a garage punk forum several years ago (I'm not sure about the relation) and all the forums, regular discussion and promotion, moved REALLY fast.

It was the music that drew me here initially although most of the people I talk to on the 'net I met through here as well. 

I don't go out too much, but if I hit a rockabilly, punk, etc. store or bar I'm amazed that they aren't playing stuff from here or most haven't necessarily heard of it. We proud garage soldiers should correct this. Start with some serious word o' mouth and if that don't work jump behind the counters and turn the digital station.

I mean if you want to find out what's going on at Panic Room (Essen) they have a nasty myspace site. And I don't think they update it that regularly, so that it's often easier for me to walk past it on the way to clients than to look on the site. The "bloody" wouldn't tell you that I live in Essen though as I'm an ex-pat.

my (craig) favorite thing about this website is all the amazing art the users share. garagepunk is a fine collection of talented people.

[DEPRAVOS DE LA MOUR]

that's something people take for granted. how cool that you point it out as your favorite thing.

Love the photo slideshow  and of course the DRAMA!!!! tee hee!! the discussions have been great and the podcasts..what don't I like my lack of skill to post my songs on the comp link and my lack of ability to download podcasts on to my phone which is an mp3 player!!!

[DEPRAVOS DE LA MOUR]

if you like drama you should attend one of our practices. death threats and occasional physical violence!

LOVE the site for sure, but I do wish there was more soul, exotica and old school blues.

[kopper]

Are you talking about in the forum discussions, groups, podcasts, or what, specifically?
