I just picked this up at the flea market last weekend and while it was a bit more than the usual dollar i pay for 45's it was still under double figures and worth every penny. The Accents, from Hollywood California give 2 great great Doo Wop tunes here w/ the "hit" being Wiggle Wiggle, a song that came out during the “sack” dress fad. The song was released in October, 1958, and contended that a girl didn’t have to be pretty, or wear good clothes; she just had to wear a “sack” dress, an [..] > read more

First off let me say that I've been a Batman fan since birth.... (See picture below: 1966) My dad liked the TV so growing up so i would watch it with him and then later on my geekdom continued as i bought and read many a Batman comic book. (See the other pic below of my 80's Frank Miller T-shirt which i still have in a tattered state) Sadly most of all the 80's and 90's movies sucked big wang...

Joe Quaterman And Free Soul - Find Yourself
Published on 2012-04-27 23:39:00
Quarterman was an unfairly overlooked funk and soul singer influenced by -- but not imitative of -- James Brown. Honing his chops in church choirs and various vocal groups, Quarterman earned the nickname "Sir" in high school while singing with a group called the Knights; he subsequently joined up with a female backing quartet as Sir Joe & the Maidens and cut a few records during the early '60s. Quarterman went on to play trumpet in the El Corols (aka the Magnificent Seven), whose highest-profile [..] > read more
Impaler - Rise Of The Mutants
Published on 2012-04-27 02:46:00
Clocking in at under 10 minuets this is one of my fave EP's... I think i like the Demon Flight EP just above this one. And although this screams Heavy Metal and does have insane ripping guitar playing all over it, it still has a sleezy punk rock vibe underneath it all. It sort of reminds me of New Jersey's mega sleeze rockers Genocide a bit, who i totally dig. These days about all i can take of most metal is about 10 minuets so this fits the bill prefectly.Impaler - Rise Of The Mutants > read more

A kooky little novelty tune here from 1964. Not sure if this was a goof on the band The Beatles since it is spelled different, & being from '64 that is pretty early but i guess they made a big splash in '64 so maybe good old Ronny here took a stab at them and combined it with another late 50's early 60's subject, "Space".... either way with this a crazy little rocker.
