"Stick with what you like, new or old. Lots of us hear will find they can't help but do it. Not a matter of choice! Nuggets till I'm dead!   "

Glenn Barton replied to Tersicore's discussion When a Cover Beats the Original...
"I like the Weirdos' original because of the more raw, less compressed production and INCREDIBLE ear-bending, stringbending out-of-tune guitarness, but they are both great. Love the cheesey organ in F.F.L's version. Thanks for posting both!…"

Glenn Barton replied to Gringo Starr's discussion The Seeds feature length documentary to be released this year!!!!
"I guess it boils down to a bit better dialog, otherwise we were both good with it. I thought the casting was great. I was explaining to my other half how much the actor looked and acted like the real deal. She's heard me mention…"

Glenn Barton replied to Gringo Starr's discussion The Seeds feature length documentary to be released this year!!!!
"Yes, good job but better script for Fowley dialog and more accurate portrayal to fit from all I've heard. I think that guy could have pulled it off. He sure looked the part. He should have spent an afternoon with him. If he did and didn't…"

Glenn Barton replied to Gringo Starr's discussion The Seeds feature length documentary to be released this year!!!!
"Great piece. Makes me want to pull out my Seeds Fallin' Off The Edge Of The World comp. I'll have to se what of those Fowley tunes/productions are on Youtube. Had one Fowley comp a few years back that was pretty good. Mostly early/mid 60s.…"

"Can't wait for the doc. Wild story about the Rockaround. I guess Fowley courts that kinda' stuff with his charming persona. Still, his sense of humor (as such) and way with words can really crack me up sometimes. Seeds memory from…"

Hits for money/misses for fun

Posted on February 26, 2013 at 12:03am 5 Comments

Started 60s cover band- The Shreds Of Evidence about 3 years ago. Went thru a few members to get a group that worked. Been gigging since Aug. 2011. Doing well known hits, radio neglected Nuggets and a couple comp type things like Choc. Watchband, Rabbit MacKay. This band has helped with the bills, hence the "mostly known" play list. Being close to Chicago, I could play all Hideout-hip stuff and get paid nothing or do Love/Prunes/Amboy Dukes/Seeds/Beatles/Stones/DC5/Yardbirds and make some…

YOU AIN'T NO NON - FRIEND OF MINE !!!             Thanks.

Glenn , You know something? I was never actually on The Bomp list. It's possible my name turned up , there , which is cool , but , by the time I got on the internet , the Bomp List was on it's way out....I looked it up once or twice , and it was too overwhelming .

Hmmmm....I first saw The Woggles , in Alabama , about 20 years ago , and , then , they played their first Chicago gig maybe a couple of years later. They're slated to play at REGGIE'S IN A FEW MONTHS , IT'LL HAVE BEEN ABOUT FIVE YEARS , AT LEAST , SINCE THE LAST TIME THEY PLAYED HERE.

I  HAVE'NT BEEN TO THE CHIRP RECORD FAIR IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. Barring yourself , and a few other people , it's usually so lame. Not to mention , disorganized. I liked it better at The Pulaski Center. Chicago , proper , should be hosting MANY record shows , but , that's a thing of the past , north of the Wolf Rd. Holiday Inn , you know.....Has been for many years. Even Evanston and Skokie gave up a long time ago.....Oh , well , ranting won't bring 'em back. Not that there really were any in the city in the past 25 years , besides CHIRP and some REALLY WEAK SHOWS AT DAYS INN ON DIVERSEY (no vinyl.).

Welcome to The Hideout, Glenn. I think I may have met you at a record show , years ago. IF WE ACTUALLY KNOW EACH OTHER , you'll have to excuse me , but , my nemory is fer'shit. Does your band play in Chicago? I know it's hard to get a gig around here if you don't play godawful music ........Which I DO , AND IT HAS'NT HELPED. Bill Bulinski of The Electras used to live in Chicago , he's an old friend of mine.   John.

Michael Trenhaile replied to The Revox's discussion Any stoner rock fans around here?
"I absolutely LOVE stoner rock (heavy) - - just not all the time.  Makes me think of The Black Angels and Vega out of Chicago.  Denver has a pretty decent stoner-rock scene with Black Lamb.  As for metal all the way through to grunge -…"
