Cool Video Alert: Dead Ghosts "Summer With Phil"

Dead Ghosts - Summer With Phil (Official Video) from Jonny Look on Vimeo.

Dead Ghosts are a Canadian garage rock band that made one of the best records of 2013 (so far), Can’t Get No. and now they’ve got one of the weirdest coolest videos of the year too. “Summer With Phil” tells the story of a boy and his cigarette smoking giant worm friend that bursts from his body and then uses his glow worm powers to make people dance (and also there’s some killing). it’s like the premise of an 80s kids movie set to lo-fi garage rock. check it out.

tonight is the record release for my favorite Athens band, Vincas. they play a psychobilly garage swamp boogie blend of punk rock with obvious influences like Suicide, The Scientists, The Gun Club, Jesus Lizard....basically all the art damaged rock n roll that i love more than anything. if you like sleazy noisy dirty rock n roll music then i recommend going to their bandcamp and ordering Blood Bleeds.

The Greatest Garage Rock 45 Of All Time: The Keggs

so this band the Keggs released one 45 ever and it fucking rules the universe. legend has that only like 75 copies were ever pressed and most were burned in a house fire and the lead singer got decapitated in a motorcycle crash. then the songs got issued on those Back From The Grave comps Crypt Records put out. i don't know how much of that legend is true and i don't care, it's a good story. regardless "To Find Out" is right up there with "Psycho" by The Sonics and Bunker Hill's "The Girl Can't Dance" on my list of raw loose garage rock and rollers. hell when you listen to it you'll probably think the Black Lips should be paying these dudes some royalties. regardless listen to both songs and then hunt them down. fucking amazing.

"To Find Out"


"Girl"

A History Lesson In Garage Punk Sleaze

Ghettoblasters & Switchblades book club recommendation: We Never Learn

For any fan of garage rock this is a must read. It's the history (Please Kill Me style) of the late 80s and 90s garage punk scene that pretty much got ignored by the mainstream media until the Strokes and White Stripes struck gold. this is the story of those bands who laid down the foundation for the garage rock revival of the 2000s. for any fan of the The Dwarves, The Gories, Oblivians, Thee Headcoats, New Bomb Turks, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Mummies, Rocket From The Crypt, Teengenerate, etc... this is your bible.

Things you will learn, Billy Childish is one bitter asshole. Jack White fucked over a lot of people to get to the top.

Like any book written about a music scene that was never super popular there tends to be an attitude that THIS WAS THE REAL PUNK SCENE, which is of course bullshit and kind of annoying, but overall this is a love letter to the era and there's lots of great stories and pictures to enjoy. the book also has a list of essential singles and records of the era. Cool shit.

There's also a tumblr for the book, if you are interested: http://www.weneverlearnbook.com/
