Jon - that is just so cool!
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. "The Gun Club...? Sisters of Mercy...?"
Sir, that rather effectively eclipses being a Fire Engines ignoramous.
That's up there with David Lynch meeting Isabella Rossellini for the first time and telling her how much she looked like Ingrid Bergman.
Still, that's very cool to meet them and receive their praise.
Also cool to know they've created The Ultimate Goth Toddler.
I was just watching both of them on YouTube yesterday.

Man, Jon! What a story! Neat neat neat!
My brother-in-law, a huge Damned fan, sent us a picture last year of him and Vanian making silly faces.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Patricia with the Gun Club
Excellent video. Love that song. Watching that makes me think how unfair it is they didn't get more recognition....

Ptttht!
Vanian looked really good for 50 in person as well, though I'm pretty sure he was helped by a bit of foundation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
To promote their release of the first Feelies album, "Crazy Rhythms," in 1980, Stiff Records issues this flexidisc of an extended medley crafted from excerpts of a few of the album's key tracks. Shortly thereafter the "Stars On 45" phenomenon began. Coincidence, or idea thievery? We think not.

I've got a very fond spot in my heart for Old Punk Rockers Who Do Good Later In Life, especially ones that enthuse about theremins and have adorable toddlers and that kind of stuff.
