My fave quote comes from Jamie of Unspoken Things (Adelaide's premier psyche organ player):
"The only difference between music from 1966 and 1972 is the width of the flares"
If you prefer the VICE CREEM'S 'won't you be my girl' to JET's 'are you gonna be my girl' I wanna meet YOU!
"I AM A SUCKA FOR MOPTOPS"
and this here a good example from Germany. HOT!
I love playwriters TOM STOPPARD and HAROLD PINTER but PIRANDELLO'S 'Six Characters In Search Of an Author' and WILLIAM'S 'The Glass Menagerie' are probably my most favourite plays of all time'....
I was into hanging on the telephone and sixties pantsuits long before I was allowed out on the town....
Joey and the DollSquad gig rider?

I mentioned above of course...including the Ronettes,
The Crystals, The Dixie Cups, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas,
The Shirelles and Phil Spector - I got my bullet bra on right now...
Jewellers; Bertel Gardberg, Elis Kauppi, Börje Rajalin and Eero Rislakki, and I wanna meet people around right now who also share my dream of meeting these people!!
Here are some people that I have met that I think are pretty cool folk...
Having trouble recognising the faces?
1. Radio Birdman's Rob Younger and Deniz Tek
2. Jim Keays (Master's Apprentices)
3. Russell Morris
4. Shag!!!
5. Glen Wheatley (Master's Apprentices)
6. Damo from Long Gone Loser
7. The one and only...Niagara!!!!
8. Normie Rowe
9. Tina Total Babe, Bobbyteen, Trashwoman, Top Tenner!
10. Fuzztones!!!
/So, enough about me already....what turns your wheels? IF we have things in common just add me. You're welcome!!
You know it sugar... 60's garage punk laced with a hint of psyche a double shot of freakbeat and a spinkle of mod rock. Followed by a generous helping of 77 punk rock but not the 'oi oi' kind...I'm more like sliding towards The Undertones,
Buzzcocks, Ramones, The Saints, Pointed Sticks, Radio Birdman and Stiv Bators...and for treats the girls....Nikki and the Corvettes, Joan Jett, Suzi Q and the magical girl group sounds of the sixties....
as Audun from Los Aarones said...
"hey, you cant just sit around listening to The Ramones all day..." ;)
I never stop rockin'...not even in the bath, baby!

I love much of the music from that sixties era too but there is too much other 'good' music to ignore so I'm no 'purist' when it comes to my record collection!

if it ISN'T B to Z grade or cult from '55 to '79 don't invite me!
But if I watch the box...
Mostly, pre 1975 thanks! I dont like computer generated graphics bring back the artists now!

no time for passive crap like modern day tv
60's flicks and sitcoms etc now that's O.K.
