Quote from: "starry-eyed pirate"
I was scrappin for metal down in the city when I found a badly beaten P. Montana cd layin on the ground in some vacant lot.  I took it home and polished it up with my skip doc and it played, even with a small crack.  I find cds and dvds all the time layin in gutters or wherever.  Most of the time if I put 'em under the skip doc they play just fine.  I had no idea who P. Montana was but now I know he's A hip hop artitst.  So if you find somethin like that layin around somewhere you might consider cleanin it up and adding it to your collection.  It's a great way to discover new music.
One man's trash...

I've heard about this skip doc thing you're talking about (or something just like it). Years ago, my computer certification instructor recommended getting this thing that buffs scratches off of optical media so it can be read again...a good thing to have.

I found a bunch of Grateful Dead bootleg cassettes on my front lawn once; some great stuff in that batch.

Yeah, the skip doctor has worked great for me.  I know I'm kinda down on all the new technology, but the skip doctor has really changed how I feel about cds.  You know I generally think cds aren't very durable and they definately don't sound as rich as the vinyl, but the skip doc gives an ol' trashed out cd new life.  I got mine in a local music store for about 20 bucks.  It just broke the other day though.  So it lasted about 4 years.  I'll have to replace it.

Frod, do you see how Roky Erikson has a similar singin style to Kevin Cronin ??  Just wonderin what you thought of that comment.

Also wonderin if you can help me figure out how to get my ol' avatar back.  I gotta get runnin now but I'll check back here later.

Sort of; you mean that their voices are in a similar range? Or is it something more, like something with his style or accent? Roky Erickson's from someplace in TX...he's getting up there in years now.. he was the 13th Floor Elevators' front man (back in the late 60's). RTP knows some good links that tell more about him...

Not sure wtf is screwing around w/ your avatar...

Well you know I'm forever comparin artists and tracing influences and that sort of thing.  When I played the Roky cd you gave me I kept sayin to my friend(You remember the belligerant drunk that was at my house when you came to visit(LOL!!)): "who does this singer remind me of?" Finally my friend said REO Speedwagon...Ridin the Storm Out...and yeah that's what I wAs thinkin too.  It seems to me that they are similar in vocal range and style.  Just an observation.

Led Zeppelin--"Bron-Yr-Aur Stopmp", "Gallows Pole", "Tangerine", "Friends"

The Kinks--"Waterloo Sunset", "Celluloid Heroes", "David Watts", "I'm Not Like Everybody Else"

Dug Dug's--"Lost In My Mind"

Kaleidoscope--"Hang Out"

La Fachada De Piedra--"Roaming"

La Revolucion De Emiliano Zapata--"En Medio De La Lluvia"

The Spiders--"It's You"

Three Souls In My Mind--"Lenon Blues"

Toncho Pilatos--"Tommy Lyz"

Nahuatl--"Volvere"

Grupo Ciruela--"Regreso Al Origen"

Rennaisance (NOT the English art-rock band)---"I'm Dying"

Los Ovnis--"Cuandra Era Nia"

The Survival--"The World Is A Bomb"

All the above on vinyl, the stuff listed after The Kinks is from a compilation album of Mexican psychedelia from the late 60s-early 70s.  It's part of a series called "Peace, Love, and Poetry" put out by some Kraut psychedelic rock fans.  There are several volumes of these compilations, including Turkish, African, American, and other psychedelic garage bands from all over the world.  They are all pretty cool, although like most compilation albums, I can't say I like every track. Can't wait to hear the Japanese one......

.

The comps I spoke of earlier aren't necessarily Kraut Rock, per se, they are put out by a bunch of Krauts.

I do, however, enjoy many Krautrock bands, Neu (whom you mentioned), Amon Duul II (their record Yeti is awesome....) Can (of course, though Holger Czukay is Czech, and their singers were Japanese or American), and a couple of other goose-stepping, London-bombing, VW-driving, schnitzel-eating, beer-swilling bands that I can't remember the names of right now, 'cause I'm so high on wetback psychedelia right now......

Yeah...LOL!!...lol...

I was surprised late last night, while dining out at a Chili's restaraunt to hear Little Feat's  Rock-n-Roll Doctor comin out of the over-head speaker.  Very nice.  Little Feat is under-rated and you never hear them on the radio. Do they play Little Feat much on the satellite channels ??
