"Dam Hamburg is awesome, go to Schanzenviertal, there's 2 punk music stores at least there, a store that sells punk tshirts and a bunch of places selling other cool crap. There's an R&B, soul, hip hop store there. I can't remember…"
Kicks just got easier to find.

BBC article Check this out. I found this pretty cool and informative. I'm no punk expert so articles that aren't all about the…Continue

Mike Humsgreen replied to Nacker's discussion 2013 EU Garage Festivals guide! in the group Europe"http://www.ruhrpott-rodeo.de/de/home
The Queers, The Addicts and Bonsai Kitten are the most relavent bands to this site. But Bad Brains, Black Flag along with some seriousely good ska punk and oi bands make this one good!"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Rick McCullough's discussion Thatcher and Punk Rock in the group Politics & Current Events"Also maybe not punk rock as such, but a protest song nonetheless and one that came out of the Tory government that set Britain back about a decade in terms of tolerance.
My favourite haha!
And there's an Exploited song giving one of…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Tersicore's discussion When a Cover Beats the Original..."I was going to mention the Magnet cover. Although the steel guitar is really good on the original. But I heard the Magnet cover first and find the Dylan version doesn't really fit to the lyrics because of that. After hearing the cover it just…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to le carogne's discussion MY ARTWORKS in the group Rock'n'Roll Graphic Artists"Sehr gut"
Mike Humsgreen replied to dave's discussion Best Dark Comedies in the group Psychotronic Culture"Four Lions flips from the silly stuff you see in the trailer to the downright fucked up side of terrorists in the UK.
Trainspotting has loads of dark humour but the dead baby on the ceiling scene is the creepiest.
Go super mainstream and it's…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Otto Parts's discussion PORK Magazine"I think in Europe the Swastika has a different meaning to how Brits and Americans interpret it. Don't forget that in a lot of countries wearing it is illegal and therefore only Nazis wear it. So many Germans get insulted when Brits make Hitler…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Wipeout!'s discussion 'Please Explain: Garage Punk' (via MTV Iggy blog)"I think it's solid. Yeah it doesn't go back far. I mean it's mostly garage punk revival since the 2000s. But then again does anyone seriously think that something on an MTV channel is going to provide much more than stuff that is…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to kopper's discussion R.I.P. Lookout Records"What happens when a label like Lookout goes bust? I mean with most independents that are successful they get bought out and then the majors sit on the back catalogue until some kind of cult revival makes it worth re-releasing some album.
Where do…"
Mike Humsgreen commented on Mottey's Garage's blog post Mottey's GaragePunk 16"I was never sure whether or not to write the Towers of London off. I liked their songs and when I saw them with that documentary on TV it didn't make me like them much more or dislike them. But after the singer's stint on Celebrity Big…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to The Mobbs's discussion Festivals in Europe in the group Europe"Does anyone know what that festival was in Croatia in summer 2012? It had Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the lineup although I don't believe it was pure garage."
Mike Humsgreen replied to Andy Climax's discussion Is Trash Television any different today than it was in the old days? in the group Psychotronic Culture"Comedy and culture is very much a matter of taste, I mean I can't stand Family Guy but watch a lot of other American stuff. But either way in America they have massive teams to write the jokes which makes them much more sellable. It's just…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Andy Climax's discussion Is Trash Television any different today than it was in the old days? in the group Psychotronic Culture"If anything I'd guess that they were more junk back then. I mean look at the production values. Hannah Montanna is made to be sold, so has the investment thus.
You could better compare it with comedy. British comedy is normally a labour of love…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"I don't see why a song shouldn't go in an ad.
But I would add with selling out that quite often it happens to bands who have lost their creative flair anyway. I mean when a guy's in his teens and 20s he's generally got a lot of…"
Mike Humsgreen replied to Lendell's discussion This year's Halloween Costumes"I'm also setting up the bathroom to look like a bloody mess. So I have one of those shower gel blood packs but that won't be enough. If you use ketchup you can pour it in the bath to mix with water to get the right effect, I have a plastic…"

Matt replied to MikeL's discussion Bubblegum Music in the group Destroy All Music"I love Bubblegum! People talk about the music of the late 60s-70s like it was all Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix, but Bubblegum is what actually got played on the radio (AM, at least). It was one of the only styles that kept to three…"
Matt replied to Mike M's discussion Stoked! Just bought a record I've been after for 32 years. What's your lost record?"I looked for 20+ years for The Prisoners "Thee Last Fourfathers" and "A Taste Of Pink" LPs before finding them for...not TOO much $ on the ebays. Now I'm just waiting for that copy of "Stormy Weather" by The…"
