"The Golden Earrings were a very versatile group , the kind of Pop music that does'nt make my colon clench. They ruled the Dutch scene for years , even if Outsiders , Q65 , etc. were more hard rockin'. I even like "Radar Love" era…"

Peter Brat von Staben replied to John E. Midnight's discussion Create a Comp? in the group Psychotic Reactions"I was kinda one of those people Kopper mentions... though it was way before I discovered the Hideout (which incidentally does very cool contemporary comps!

Create a Comp?
So's I'm thinking how cool it would be to throw my dusty hat into the soybomb ring with a collection of uncomped 45s. Yes, I know it's not a moneymaking proposition, it's all about turning people on to hidden treasure. Anyone here try it? Was it a pain getting decent distribution?See More
John E. Midnight posted a blog postI Hate MP3s
There's nothing more annoying (okay, maybe biting the inside of yer mouth...in the same place three times) than slapping that overpriced, three-quarters-of-the-songs-were-already-comped, I-wuz-butt-raped-with-Aussie-shipping-charges, transworld sixties mod beat punk collection onto your turntable or CD player and discovering the tracks are muddy, over-compressed MP3s. Really? Ya mean those acetates weren't crappy sounding enough? Afraid someone might accuse you of lifting your cursor away from…See More

The Golden Earrings "Winter Harvest"
Every now and then even a seasoned sixties rock 'n' roll aficionado stumbles across an album that prompts an internal, "how the frick did I miss THAT one?". (Well, externalized in this instance.) Perhaps it were the prog purples on its front jacket that were off-putting. Could it have been its seemingly twee-littered track listing, including "Impeccable Girl" and "Happy and Young Together"? Whatever. The point is, I've finally traversed the accidental detour- which is not to say I've witnessed…See More

John E. Midnight replied to Thee Strawberry Mynde's discussion Introductions (for newbies)"Hullo, y'all. I registered on GaragePunk Hideout many months ago, then stupidly forgot about it. Since then I''ve discovered possibly the coolest anti-FaceBook around! Seriously, this thing is flat-out amazing. It's nice to…"
John E. Midnight replied to Nick X's discussion How often do you meet people in person with your music taste?"Never ever. 'Course I don't go out much anymore. All my young co-workers are so imbedded in our current pop lack-of-culture that even their conversations are auto tuned."
John E. Midnight replied to pistol*b's discussion hangover cures? in the group Rhythm & Booze"Drink Scotch. Not crappy blends like J&B, the real 12-to-18-year-old single malts. Once you get a taste for it you can get hammered like a railroad spike, then wake up feeling just fine. I swear to you, it's amazing. Just DON'T…"

Jymn Parrett replied to Jymn Parrett's discussion Reviews of The Seeds' ''Future"?"I've read a few comments on the infamous Steve Hoffman forum, talking more about the music than the quality of the release.
