Bruce Brodeen commented on Discount Romance's blog post Ian Hunter – Why Isn’t He Playing Stadiums?"Very cool to hear of folks mesmerized by his ballads - took me a few years to appreciate them, honestly. I was a young rocker when I 'discovered' MTH in '74 - I just wanted to rock. "3000 Miles From Here" floored…"
ALAN K. CRANDALL commented on Discount Romance's blog post Ian Hunter – Why Isn’t He Playing Stadiums?"Had the pleasure of seeing Mssr. Hunter in Santa Clara in 1986. One of the best shows I ever saw. Had the crowd going nuts on the rockers, mesmerized by the ballads ("Ships" - 100 times better than the version on the album).…"
Discount Romance commented on Discount Romance's blog post Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)"Perhaps "Pub Band" which is sort of the British equivalent of Garage Band here. The Brinsely Schwarz, Kurdsaal Flyers, Eddie and the Hotrods kind of feel. Ironically, the better a garage band is, the less they sound like a…"
maximum jack commented on Discount Romance's blog post Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)"I've just never heard them called "garage" and their sound to me does not fit in nicely with the stalwarts of the genre-- a little too polished, no fuzz, etc. To sum up, a great little Rock & Roll combo? Yes. The…"

Discount Romance commented on Discount Romance's blog post Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)"Oil City Confidential looks terrific. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Discount Romance commented on Discount Romance's blog post Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)"I actually quite like the Seeds. There are good garage bands and bad ones. Garage band has become a catch phrase for bands that don't play very well and are terribly recorded. Some people seem to think this adds some…"

maximum jack commented on Discount Romance's blog post Dr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)"Dr. Feelgood are pretty underated, but I would never call them a garage rock band. Pub band, sure. It's obvious from your first paragraph that you're not a fan of the genre, but I would give the title to the Sonics or the…"
Discount Romance's blog post was featuredDr. Feelgood – Malpractice (The All-Time Greatest Garage Band)
I’m not a huge fan of garage and pub bands. There are many, many records dedicated to the energetic racket pounded out by lo-fi knuckleheads from the early 60’s through to God knows when. There are talented exceptions to this annoying band-clash brigade, however. Dr. Feelgood is certainly one of them. Originally from Canvey Island in England, these guys…See More
Harry commented on Discount Romance's blog post Middle Brother – A Pretty Darned Good Band!"This is hard to believe, but I mean it: I never saw them too hammered that they blew a show...always spot on, for me. Maybe because I was in the NYC area and they did a best-behavior scenario as best they could....thought there is one NYC show…"
Discount Romance commented on Discount Romance's blog post Middle Brother – A Pretty Darned Good Band!"Wow. I'm envious. Though, I would probably prefer the semi-sober performances to the "Get shitfaced drunk and try to sober up" variety."
Harry commented on Discount Romance's blog post Middle Brother – A Pretty Darned Good Band!"I saw the Replacements play out 25 times ;<) ....for real....man, those were the days.

Great Canadian Singles – Hammersmith
Posted on October 1, 2011 at 11:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Having grown up in Canada, I had the fortune to be exposed to a lot of songs that the rest of the world missed out on. Canadian Content Laws have done wonders for Canadian artists, but it’s also done wonders for Canadian music fans. (sorry Libertarians) I’m going to post some artists who put out some… Continue
Middle Brother – A Pretty Darned Good Band!

So, last night, I decided to check out some of the performances from the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions on Youtube. There wasn’t much to see. Too early. There were videos by a band called Middle Brother, however. I had not heard of these gentlemen but curiosity got the better of me and I… Continue

Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.

Unbelievably great.

Anna Borg commented on Anna Borg's blog post I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out"It's truly incredible, how his attitude seems to have changed. He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"
