FTW - FUZZ THE WORLD MIX (84mb)
Hi Kiddies. Well I've been away for a bit but thought I'd come back with my first SHINDIGGIT mix!!! I know all the cool kids are doing it, so why not? I have given a previous mix of Funk Diddies to my friend Mike over @ This Is Tomorrow, so "officially" THAT's my first, but never posted ON SHINDIGGIT!
One of the Genres I've posted sporadically over here is 60's Garage Punk. This is a personal fav genre for me as I'd been listening to this stuff since the 80's. I had all the Pebbles compilations and the re-issue of Nuggets (Since sold ALL the Pebbles but kept a Mint white label promo of Nuggets as a kind of prized possession and guilty pleasure all wrapped in one). One of my goals when I started collecting vinyl way back in high school was to collect all the Nuggets singles on 45. Even back then I held the 45rpm above all else. I've gotten most of them but along the way I've come across so much more. Surprisingly there was a LOT of good Garage coming out of Canada back in the 60's. Most bands coming from the Toronto or Montreal areas. My mix includes a bunch of those Canadian singles, some of which you've seen here on the Blog and some you have not. The songs are not ALL rare and they are not ALL fuzz toned. I picked the title because it had a nice ring to it.....however there is a VERY healthy dose of Fuzz, so don't sweat it.
Tracks:
1. Davie Allen & The Arrows - Blues Theme (Capitol T6218) - So this is pretty much one of the three or four songs out there that epitomize the Fuzz years... it ALSO epitomizes the Hells Angels .... not much to say about this one cause if you haven't heard it, you're a hermit.
2. The Ugly Ducklings - She Ain't No Use To Me (Yorktown 45002) - Canadian. This is one of my all time favourite Garage bands. They're from the Toronto area, loud, snotty and well fuzzy...LOL. Seriously, they kick ass. I never could get my hands on their LP but I have all their singles.
3. Bob Seger System - Ramblin Gamblin Man (Capitol 2297) - Okay I LOVE early Bob! I can't help it, the guy was good. I don't know where he went wrong but damn....this is probably the most famous of his early work but it's a stomper. The primal drums and his vocals are fantastic....
4. Strange Bros. Show - Shakey Jakes (Sire SI4120) - This is an odd one. It's also a real stomper. Larry Grogan suspects this to be an incarnation of the Strangeloves which actually makes a lot of sense.
5. Small Faces - Tin Soldier (Immediate IM-062) - This is one of my all time favourite bands. The Blue eyed Soul Steve Marriott was capale of still mesmerizes me to this day. This song is a slow builder that just takes off till the end....a classic!
6. Status Quo - Pictures Of Matchstick Men (Pye 835) - Another Brit band that excelled attheir genre. This time its Psychedelic Pop. Not difficult or expensive but a fantastic single from the band that went on to be a 70's English Monolith of rock. The B-side is great as well, sounds like something Ray Davies would sing (Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe)
7. Blues Magoos - She's Coming Home (Mercury 21096) - From The LP Psychedelic Lollipop, this is a fantastic garage tune. The subject matter is pretty potent. Just a fantastic piece of punk.
8. The Rabble - You Come On Too Strong (Transworld TW1675) Canadian. A great slice of Garage from this Montreal Based band. Sadly the Rabble LP was not as good as this particular single.
9. Shadows Of Knight - Shake (Team 520) This band should be more popular than it is. I mean their version of Gloria is in my mind a classic. This track is a great dancer...it's infectious.
10. Human Beinz - Nobody But Me (Capitol 5990) Another great dancer. This has been used in commercials and has enjoyed a long life in compilations throughout the years. This is in MY opinion their best single....
11. Monkees - Valleri (Colgems 66-1019) - Everybody pretty much hated the Monkees but I think that's too harsh. (I'm not your) Stepping Stone is a perfect piece of punk while this song continues in the dancer pattern complete with harmonies AND Fuzztone guitar! YEAH!
12. Del Shannon - Under My Thumb (Liberty 55904 Audition) - So this song doesn't really fit with the others but is inserted as a kind of breather. The Stones version is overplayed and I thought you'd get a kick out of the "Runaway" artist doing HIS faithfull rendition...and when I say faithfull...well, you'll hear it.
13. Balloon Farm - A Question Of Temperature (Laurie L-3405X) This is one of those songs that just pops into my head every couple of months. As far as I know it was their ONLY hit but what a hit....Fuzzy Psych at it's best. Another Nuggets tune, EASY to find.
14. The Barbarians - Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl (Laurie L-3308X) So everyone pictures most Garage Punk guys as shaggy haired leather jacketed ....punks. Actually a lot of these kids were clean cut with suits and pretty smiles in the beginning. This track really emphasizes the changing times when kids DID get shaggy...but even their musical counterparts were shocked apparently...LOL. Great Track!
15. The Fireballs - Groovy Motions (Atco 6569X) - Okay, this band really messed with my head. First off, I could be mistaken and they're 2 totally different groups but the LPs I have by the Fireballs are early 60's instro stuff like the Ventures. They were actually really good! Then I heard this. This is a fantastic little Psych/Pop diddy that actually uses the words, Groovy, Psychedelic and references to expanding your mind. Just what the formula called for in '67 to make a hit. I was just wierded out that the Fireballs had developed a voice....
16. Ugly Ducklings - Just In Case You Wonder (Yorktown 45003) Canadian. Well it's a band so nice I played them twice. Well at least it's a different song right? Again, this is a masterpiece of Garage. I canna say more
17. The Haunted - 1,2,5 (Quality 1814X) Canadian. This band has garnered a lot of respect in the Garage world. There aren't too many people out there who like this genre who haven't heard of the Haunted. Another Montreal Band, this is their first single. I have all their singles but like the Ducklings, cannot find their LP...at least not for anywhere under $300 bones.
18. Leaves - Too Many People (Mira 227) The label is from Detroit so I'm assuming they are from Michigan at least. Very cool band with a good garage feel with a touch of Beatles to keep it approachable I guess.
19. The Critters - It Just Won't Be That Way (Kapp K769) I don't know much about these guys except to say I was pleasantly surprised when I heard them. They kinda sound like the Dave Clark 5 if the Dave Clark 5 didn't suck...LOL. I'm kidding, but like I mentioned with song 18. these guys sound like pops edgier brother...does that make sense?
20. Blues Project - No Time Like The Right Time (Verve Folkways KF-5040) Another Nugets classic. This is a classic band. If you ever get a chance to listen to their albums, you'll be pleased you did. This particular track is a little removed from their more bluesey fare, but then that's what this mix is all about!
21. Electric Prunes - Are You Lovin Me More (Reprise 0564) This is a 45 I bought like 18 years ago. It was my prized posession having the honour as my first find in a thrift store. Back then all I was looking for was Garage/Psych and this is what I found. I held onto it and just pulled it out the other day and realized what a good track it is. The other side is Get Me To The World On Time, also a good side. Very noisy and Psych.
22. Knickerbockers - One Track Mind (Challenge 59326 DJ) So if I mentioned earlier that a certain other band sounded like the Beatles...well when the Beatles needed to take a vacation, I'm surprised these guys didn't step in for them. They just got the formula for Beatles hits and ran with it. "Lies" is their BIG hit and this one is pretty darned close. Again, this has a bit of an edge or raw urgency about it that the Beatles tended to mix down and out of their tracks....
23. The Invictas - Long Tall Shortie (Sahara D-SH-107) These guys drove to their gigs in a freakin' hearse! They're alright in MY books. Known for their regional hit "The Bump" (which happens to be the A-Side of this single), the Invictas are actually still at it today!
24. Music Machine - Talk Talk (Original Sound OS-61) When trying to decide which Music Machine single to put on this mix I actually had to think long and hard. I eventually went with their most famous as sometimes I forget that the really rare stuff is a treat but the common stuff is common because they sold so much. They sold so much because they were good...
25. Woolies - Who Do You Love (Dunhill D-4052) Anyone who's been on the blog recently has probably seen this one posted earlier. I just had to close out this mix with my favourite song....so there it is!!!
Okay, so there we have it. The FIRST SHINDIGGIT mix! Let me know what you think and I'll gauge from your responses whether or not you'd like some more. So stop reading this, download the mix and.......SHINDIGGIT!

nice selections!
You mentioned "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe" - I've been looking gor it for some time now. Please (please!) consider including it in your next Shindiggit mix.
Thanks
sorry - can't figure out how to edit my previous post. wasn't thinking, didn't realize the collection was one file. Any chance you could post "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe" as a single?
This is so totally dope. Thanks for doing this.
Hey Jason, I'm definitely going to check this one out. My knowledge of this genre is pretty limited so a little more education wouldn't hurt.
