Garage/psych in "mainstream" media

I'm driving around with Fox News/Talk Radio turned on (I use it to divert my road rage as I get angry at the radio instead of drivers, or perhaps it is self harming addiction I have for my brain??) there is no good radio here, I can't stand new country or classic rock.

So, I have some right wing announcer talk show host blabbering some right wing nonsense and in background I hear

- Dub ba dum Dummmm "You said you love me"

You foxkers............ NOOOOOOO!!!!. From Northampton, UK. The Primitives - You Said.


Followed by another European modpsyche thing later. Probably from Nuggets II?

Grrrr.....
 
I can't find left wing nonsense. I live in the wilds of WV and everything is paid by Koal.

PBS is a pleasant change slightly leftish nonsense, but classical music sure makes me sleepy quickly, and it is hard to get a clear reception.
 
Okay, let's get fracking.

An ad by Nobody Denim appearing on Youtube videos has its own music, but I'd say it's definitely inspired by the Electras' (Just a little) soul-searching'. On second thoughts, this is a dangerous road to go down: the amount of mainstream media music inspired by sixties garage far outweighs the number of uses of the songs themselves.
 
drill baby, drill...frack baby,frack...mine baby,mine, whatever it takes so my hard earned money doesn't go to muslims that wanna f me up!!!
 
Serioulsy? Texas requires by law that the chemicals used by fracking are publicly provided. Fracking has never contaminated water because fracking is done thousands of feet below the water tables. If anyone is contaminating the water in California it is anti-fracking groups who want to stop it. How is it mathematically possible that California with the fewest fracking sites of any state where it is being used has almost all of its wells contaminating water and it is happening NOWHERE else in the country? Yeah, good luck with this load of lies.
 
Last month, Pennsylvania made 243 cases of contamination of private drinking wells from oil and gas drilling operations public for the first time. West Virginia, too, has linked cases of well water contamination to oil and gas drilling. And this month, researchers at the University of Texas found that levels of arsenic, selenium and strontium were higher than the EPA’s limits in some private wells located within about 1.8 miles of natural gas wells.
 
You tree huggers will believe anything you read to shoot down fracking or drilling. For every link you offer saying fracking/drilling is bad I'll show you 3 that say they aren't. My back yard is open for drilling, any takers. I'm with Mr. Splendid, this topic doesn't belong here.
 
Back on topic...

According to Leon Otha Libby of the Swanks, "Ghost Train" was considered for use in a Nissan ad campaign. Now that would have been cool.

Go back to Michigan, where your Repooplican drivel is acceptable. Back to the music.
 
Slightly off topic, but:

Kinokuniya is the largest bookshop in Sydney and well known internationally. It is always quite busy on weekends, and it was on a weekend when I was there late last year. I've been there several times, but never been aware of them playing music, let alone sixties garage. On this occasion though, they were playing the Lemon Drops' I Live in the Springtime over the PA system. After the song finished, the PA system just went silent. Bizarre.
I was at Kinokuniya last night and heard I Live In The Springtime over the PA. There were songs before and after so it must be part of their regular in-store playlist. I could hear how it fits in well with contemporary folk/garage sounds.

Never seen a tree-hugging explosion like this. We felt the shudder 8 miles away. This is where my kid goes to school, up this holler, but it's OK in WV we love dying from black lung and pollution and drinking chemical tainted water.
