Good lawd, that's a lot of bands.......





Zen Guerilla kind of takes a page from the MC5 book, playing some raw gritty blues-influenced rock 'n' roll.

The ***** - Old school punk from Austin. Mudhoney covered this one.





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpLlKlNwR...





Mono - Post-rock from Japan. I saw them live a little more than a month ago and the sounds they created were mind-boggling.

John Fahey. This guy was amazing with the guitar.

Reply:you need...NEED to listen to Bessie Smith..."empty bed blues" try to find the album "Emperess of the Blues" freakin' awsome!
Reply:I'd be willing to bet you have the Nuggets compilation, at least the original. And if you don't I'd recomend it, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era, the four disc Rhino update is great.





The Undertones are a good punky poppy band.





Teenage Head are a really good Canadian punk band, agan with plenty of pop.





I don't see Slade up there, but they're probably one of the bands you just left out if you have Sweet and T.Rex.





The Hollywood Brats are a great early 70's glam/punk band in the vein of the New York Dolls.





The Boys are a great poppy punk band.





Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros were a good band.





The Jam are a great mod revival/punk band.





The Violent Femmes are cool, I'm sure you've heard "Blister In The Sun" if you don't have anything by them, so I they don't really need a description.





The Ugly Ducklings (if you can find them) were a Canadian garage rock band from the 60's, and they really were one of THE definitive bands. They rocked harder than any of their peers, maybe even the Sonics, and there's an obvious link from them to punk.





Suicide were a neat electronic/punk band from the first wave of New York Bands and you need to hear them at least once before you die, even if you don't like them. I don't even care for them much and I'm saying it.





The Vibrators, Weirdos, Stiff Little Fingers, Stranglers, Talking Heads, X, X-Ray Spex, 999, the Zeros are all good punk bands that I didn't see on your list. But almost everything I have that isn't punk is in that list, but if you ever get in a punky mood visit www.punk77.co.uk and browse through his list of pre '80 bands, it's very extensive.





Hope I helped!

Reply:If you like Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst used to be in a band called Park Ave, so try them. Two of the girls who used to be in Park Ave are now in Tilly And The Wall. I love Tilly And The Wall, it's really cool because they use tap-dancing as percussion instead of drums. =]





Also, try The Like, Blonde Redhead, Dear And The Headlights, Meg %26amp; Dia, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade, Minus The Bear, and Deerhoof.
Reply:You've got it pretty well covered with that great list. You could try some music some internet stations call Americana. A lot of it is sort of alt country from some of the great artists of Texas, like Nanci Griffith, Dale Watson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and others.
Reply:Yeah, since Woddy Guthrie and I are much the same


(Woddy used to always say "It's all about the lyrics") then you'd, no doubt, like moi's iconoclastic feces.

Reply:Stars are an amazing indie pop band that everyone should check out - their songs sound so upbeat, but their lyrics are deep and well-written and they’re not your typical band. If you only want to check out one of the bands I list, it has to be Stars. Klaxons are also a good band, and they definitely fall under the “obscure” category. You’ll either love them or you’ll hate them. They classify themselves as New Rave, and they’re really original compared to the popular music of today. There’s also Silversun Pickups, an alternative rock band that has been compared to The Smashing Pumpkins (the lead singer of Silversun Pickups also sounds a lot like Billy Corgan) and Metric, an indie rock group with songs so catchy it’s insane. Those are some of my favourite bands right now, so hopefully you’ll like at least one of them (I was going to recommend Bright Eyes, but I see that you’re already a fan).

Reply:Every band I love that's not already on Your list


(Cause 90% of them are)





Zebra


An absolutely unique sounding quasi metal early 80's band


Their singer/guitarist Randy Jackson has a gorgeous voice and is a shredding guitar player, they are also one of the few bands with a full choir sound to most of their songs.


They are very melodic yet heavy.


They are on YouTube and Limewire


Just look up the songs


"Who's Behind The Door" and "Bears"





The Jayhawks


In my opinion, the very best of the 90's alt-country bands


Their alnum "Hollywood Town Hall"


Is one of the very best albums of the 90's I would heartily recommend the entire album to You.





Praying Mantis


The best band (Besides Maiden or Priest) to come out of the NWOBHM, and horribly overlooked.


Their guitarist is one of the best at delivering an avalance of melodic notes I have ever heard. their singer is top notch.


And they write excellent songs


I recommend their album


"Time Tells No Lies"





The Four Horsemen


Their 1990 album "Nobody Said It Was Easy" is one of THE BEST hard rock albums I have ever heard.


But they totally slipped through the cracks because Rick Rubin wasn't interested in developing them


Their song (last track on the album)


"I Need A Thrill/Something Good"


Is absolutely one of the best hard rock guitar anthems ever recorded, I would stack it right up against Freebird of The Song Remains The Same...It's THAT good








I would recommend all these bands for You to check out
Reply:The first band I'd have to recommend who aren't on your list is Arcade Fire. I'm sure you've heard of them, and you may already listen to them, but if not, you should definitely check out their two albums, "Funeral" and "Neon Bible". Here are some of the highlights;

Edit:


I just realised, Of Montreal isn't on your list. If you don't already know them, the album they released this year, "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer" is a good starting point.

Stupidly interesting deep thoughts?

Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.





Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.





Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window.





Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind." Basically, it's made up of two separate words-"mank" and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.





I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.





It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.





I guess we were all guilty, in a way. We all shot him, we all skinned him, and we all got a complimentary bumper sticker that said, "I helped skin Bob."





I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!"





The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.





Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.





I'd rather be rich than stupid.





If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."





If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then, yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.





I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.





When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.





To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.





What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know.





We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.





Even though he was an enemy of mine, I had to admit that what he had accomplished was a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me, then he kicked me, then he punched me again.





Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.





I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand, pretending he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.





To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.





As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable -- until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!!





Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.





I bet the sparrow looks at the parrot and thinks, yes, you can talk, but LISTEN TO YOURSELF!





If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.





Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up.





You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.





Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.





If you see an animal and you can't tell if it's a skunk or a cat, here's a good saying to help: "Black-and-white, stinks all right. Tabby-colored, likes a fella."





If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.





If you ever teach a yodeling class, probably the hardest thing is to keep the students from just trying to yodel right off. You see, we build to that.





If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.





I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes, I bet you can really see it in those genitals.





Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?





Isn't it funny how we'll look out the window at the moon, and then we notice it's not the moon but a streetlight? Also what's funny is how we do this every night.





It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about a hundred drumsticks, then the guy at Marineland says, "You can't throw that chicken to the dolphins. They eat fish." Sure they eat fish, if that's all you give them! Man, wise up.





He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven -- with a gun."





The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car -- I forget what kind it was -- and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess somethings never leave you.





If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."





Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.





As we were driving, we saw a sign that said "Watch for Rocks." Martha said it should read "Watch for Pretty Rocks." I told her she should write in her suggestion to the highway department, but she started saying it was a joke -- just to get out of writing a simple letter! And I thought I was lazy!





One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-outwarehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.





If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.





Laurie got offended because I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like.





We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with a whore he picked up in town.





I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad.





As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint.





If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.





Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.





If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and your friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.





I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Cave Man the best. We called him Uncle Cave Man because he lived in a cave and because sometimes he'd eat one of us. Later on we found out he was a bear.





I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They're sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of fur.





If God dwells inside of us like some people say, then I sure hope he likes enchiladas, because that's what he's getting.





Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should call them impressions. And if you have a different impression, so what? Can't we all be brothers?





I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula and Superman away.





It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was running to go fight in another fight, away from the first fight.





In weightlifting, I don't think sudden, uncontrolled urination should disqualify you.





If you ever discover that what you're seeing is a play within a play, just slow down, take a deep breath, and hold on for the ride of your life.





Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.





It's too bad that whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.





I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.





I think in one of my previous lives I was a mighty king because I like people to do what I say.





Today I accidentally stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of our house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a "shell" if you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tinfoil and paper bags.





A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it.





If you're ever stuck in some thick undergrowth in your underwear, don't stop and start thinking of what other words have "under" in them, because that's probably the first sign of jungle madness.





I wish scientists would come up with a way to make dogs a lot bigger, but with a smaller head. That way, they'd still be good as watchdogs, but they wouldn't eat so much.





If you ever go temporarily insane, don't shoot somebody, like a lot of people do. Instead, try to get some weeding done, because you'd really be surprised.





I think a good movie would be about a brain surgeon who gets hit on the head and damages the part of the brain that makes you want to study the brain.





Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad. And then I think, "Aw, who cares?" And then I think, "What's for supper?"





I think that if you were an Indian and you shot an arrow into the back of a fat pioneer woman so she falls screaming to the ground while she shoots her shotgun into the ground, it would be about the top thing you could do.





I bet that if you were an ant walking across the top of a bowl of pudding, you'd have no idea that the only thing that lies between you and certain disaster is the strength of that pudding skin.





I think that if someone sent you something that someone else sent them, and then if you sent it on to some other people you knew, it would be kind of like the first person had sent it to everyone else, except that, if the first person didn't know everyone else, he might think that he had gone crazy for sending it to all these people he had never even heard of.





I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.





If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now.





I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching.





You know one thing that will really make a woman mad? Just run up and kick her in the butt. (P.S. This also works with men.)

Reply:For one thing it would depend on how big ur yard is. Wooden barrels look great but you can't put them straight on the ground because of white ants or termites %26amp; if u do u must treat them every 6mths. I'm not into gnomes and statues etc I think they look tacky. I do like a nice bench and especially one built around a tree. I love hanging baskets and pots with plants especially terracotta (even the plastic terracotta look nice) The only statue type thing I have is a lions head which sqirts water into the pond and its made of a yellow orangish terracotta and matching bench but they have greenery all round them and it looks good. Remember whenever u plant a tree to think ahead about how big it will be, whether it will block shade, whether its deciduous as they drop leaves everywhere and its a hassle raking them up. Leaves and flower petals on the ground look nice at a park garden but its different in ur house. Everyone has different tastes we don't all like the same otherwise it'd be boring streets all looking the same. The house down the road has about 150 gnomes and another has heaps of different types of statues as they make them to sell. So its ur style u have to think about %26amp; whether it will go with the house as well. Remember to plan ur garden like u would ur furniture etc Good luck to you %26amp; have fun that's the main thing. Unusual plant containers r great and of course everyone loves their flag if they can get one. Of course bird house and bird baths and get plants that attrack birds to ur garden as well. If u have a cat put a bell around its neck so the birds can hear it coming as well.............

Are there flamingos in the Everglades?
Yes. The greater flamingo ...





Check out the birds on the Everglades National Park page:

And there is an article in some birder mag - about the birds on Snake Bight in the park.

Down here in florida, christmas trees don't grow very well...should i plant some artificial ones in my yard?

i think it would be the perfect accent to the plastic flamingoes in my front yard that i spray-painted purple, and the '71 dodge dart that is up on blocks.

Down here in florida, christmas trees don't grow very well...should i plant some artificial ones in my yard?
yep, sounds like a good idea to me.. can i come visit ya, and use your yard as a shootin' gallery? i'll leave ma at home with my sister-cousin, but i'll bring my brother-cousin with me. he can drive half way. LOL good one...

How do I prepare my annuals for winter?

Annuals are the ones that come back every year right? Those are the ones I need to know about. Should I pull the dead plants once the frost gets them? Or do I just leave them alone? I'm fairly sure they've already seeded....I'm a new gardener and the house I moved into has a lovely garden and I want to maintain it!! Help!!!


Thanking you in advance, Flamingo.

How do I prepare my annuals for winter?
The garden you've inherited are probably perennials then. The annual, meaning one year, is just a filler plant with bright colors. Perennial are the plants that come back year after year. Since you don't yet know the difference between Annual or Perennial, then I would suggest that you get a friend or family member who does to take a look at your new garden to help you learn which of your plants are which. Don't worry, we all start out not knowing the difference. One thing you can keep in mind is that most garden beds are planted with perennials (come back every year) so if you can't find someone to help you then just leave the beds alone and definitely don't pull the plants until you know what they are. Just wait until spring and you will see which are perennials by their return. Then, once they've returned, all you will have to do is weed and remulch. You will also be able to fill in the bare spots with whatever you like. Oh, even if some annuals have reseeded in the beds you will be able to determine which is which because perennials typically reemerge before the annual seeds do. Also, Seeds emerge as seedlings and perennials emerge as as a mound of plant material. I hope this helps
Reply:No, annual means just that...it's annual and not perinneal. Annuals will die at the end of summer. Put some straw or light mulch on the plants you want to come back next year if you live in a cold zone.
Reply:Annuals are good for one season only. Turn them under; they'll become mulch. If they've gone to seed you might get sprouts in the spring.





Perennials come back every year. To learn about winter care of perennials, check with your local nursery advisor. (Or hop on the www for a specific plant, shrub or tree. Most perennial shrubs get pruned back in late autumn (before a freeze), but depending on your growing zone, guidelines vary.
