John Cale - You Know More Than I Know

But we, like other pissed-off whores
quarrel about who started the threats.
These things no longer serve you,
you know more than I do.

#forwhatitsworth2023

Les Lullies comes to life from a split in the original lineup of Les Grys-Grys, one of the best garage bands of the new century. The second album sets aside the punk harshness of the debut in favor of high-energy, impactful rock'n'roll, and also shifts from English to French. The attitude of punk remains intact.

The Stranglers - No More Heroes

"What ever happened to Leon Trotsky, he got jabbed with an ice pick that made his ears explode... What ever happened to the heroes? And all the Shakespeareans? they saw their Rome burn... No more heroes, no more heroes..."
 
HIGHER ELEVATION - Crazy bicycle

'' the monocles '' - psychedelic 1966.

#garagedintorni (79/1)

A mouthwatering collection released quite a few years ago tells the story of this band, one of the thousands of very particular rock 'n' roll tales. Starting out as a beat group, but of that smartly-dressed mod kind, with lacquered hairstyles... by the mid-sixties they finally begin to savor some interesting little treats, releasing a few 45s of absolute interest... from whimsical psychedelia to so-called sunshine pop and jangle folk-rock...

Exodus - Deliver Us to Evil
Discone! My favorite of theirs.
 
Warsaw
(No Life At All in the House of Dolls)
 
The Monocles - Spider and the Fly

The Higher Elevation - The Diamond Mine

During a remarkable period of “welcome back pipedreams” - I admit I was no longer feeling it - I listened to, and (re)discovered, garage bands full of soul and blood, with influences ranging from beat to punk, from psychedelia to R&B - from power pop to folk, from rockabilly to mod, including soul and even hard rock. In short, the essence of rock'n'roll from true beasts to the wild scream of “screw your virtuosic and super-fast scales and your ridiculous four-octave vocal range.” Since 1990 onward, with some comebacks of old relics, savansadir.

#garagedintorni (79)

A tantalizing compilation released quite a few years ago tells the story of this band, one of the thousands of very unique rock’n’roll tales. Starting as a beat group, but of the mod-style, cravat-wearing kind, with slicked-back hair … by the mid-sixties they finally began to savor interesting candies, releasing some truly compelling singles… from ridiculous psychedelia to so-called sunshine-pop and jangle-folk-rock…

Il mio sesso

"My sex has no dreams, it doesn't feel quite the same as the skyscrapers erected in its name. Sometimes I realize it, sometimes it surprises me, sometimes I think it’s just a robot..."
