Are you new to sixties garage punk and do not know where to turn?

[Lee de Parade]

Got past "To Find Out" and thougt that I would start from the top to see what new songs you have added. Didn't get past "Optical Sound". Hate your site.

Thanks! I guess I'm picking the right songs then.
They might dry up after a year or so, but the minute they do - I promise to stop the blog. Only prime tracks will be posted.

I don't have anything rare or valuable, and I'm a teen, so I must be new to it. I've gotten the message on here that I don't know shit about garage.

 

[Lee de Parade]

Hahahaha!!
That means you are accepted!
Now try to work your way up to being insulted, then getting harassed by mail, then you are a Made Man!

Good to have some new blood around here. And I was 21 when I got into the 'scene' so no need to worry.

"To Find Out" sums up every guys life on G45.

Well, I've never been cheated on by any girl. I was never the cheatin' type either to be honest. The girl I'm with currently has been with me for almost 7 years now. The lyrics kick ass, but thankfully, I can say I don't relate to them.

I like "To Find Out" because it's so infectious! It blew my mind the first time I heard it. I probably listened to it a thousand times after. Then I got around to hearing the flip "Girl", and damn.. I'm in heaven.

But I think the nature of the song better suits the pits of hell in all honesty. Even God would flip-out after hearing The Keggs.

I like to read what you write about the songs, I can imagine you writing about "It's Trash", just sitting there and kinda not knowing how to describe it. It's that good!

Love your blog, Lee, keep it alive as long as possible.
All well-known tracks, but so utterly great, who would ever get sick and tired of that stuff... and your comments are ace.
The Stoics' Enough of what I need is the greatest song ever waxed.

Yeah I think it's great, David. Really good feel to your blog and great choices that need to be heard more often. I was just listening to "Knock Knock" by the Humane Society, and the thought occurred to me - imagine this was an unknown - if a small quantity of 45s of this was unearthed for the first time right now, the bidding war would cause an international incident.

That´s a pretty bold statement. Good luck to you though!

Doesn't apply to me anymore.

As some of this thread is evolving into a "most meaningful" teenbeat classic, I'm gonna go with "Ups & Downs" by PR&R. In my ½-C on planet Earth I've had plenty of those! (and a few "all arounds" for good measure)
