News about new MCR music! Well, not new, but from the album they were working on before they switched to Danger Days:
What. WHAT. I love Danger Days SO MUCH, do not get me wrong, but HANDSFLAIL:::: (Tell me about the drums. I miss the jazz drums.)
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's at Max's Kansas City in the back room.
I don't doubt they kissed since both had plenty of bi-sex back in the day, though I don't think they were ever lovers.

Yeah, I've seen other pictures of them (and Mick Jagger, and Iggy?) there, but I'd never seen this one before.
I don't think they were ever lovers.
Sad now.

Sorry. I've been reading Angela Bowie's tell-all bio and she didn't say anything about it, and she certainly would have.
My favorite bit wasn't about her finding Mick in bed with David, but rather when the Bowies came to NYC and she grabbed Billy Murcia (then the drummer with the Dolls) and he grabbed Cyrinda Foxe (at the time, David Johansson's girlfriend) and they shacked up in a Manhattan hotel suite for a week long debauch. Bowie later used Cyrinda in the "Jean Genie" video, shot partly in San Francisco.
Lou had a beautiful trans companion for a couple years there in the early seventies, and then had a brother/sister set of lovers at one point.
By the by, a lot of glam era movies and video have been making it to the market lately including a live concert of Lou in Paris from about '73 (so Live Animal era) doing hard rock versions of VU songs. Also the Ballad of Mott is supposed to be great, and Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies tour film came out on DVD.
I've got Marc Bolan's mid-seventies kids show (Marc) on VHS and you can get it bootlegged on DVD. There's a great compilation of Dolls video available and the Musikladen twofer of Roxy Music (w/ Eno) and T.Rex is fantastic.

Morrisey thought the Ramones were rubbish:
I thought he put the Ramones on one of those compilation CD thingies that musicians have been doing, so he might've had a rethink on the issue. His Dolls love is pure, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Frank Turner is on Conan tonight. In about... a minute eastern time. Worth checking out.

OK, that was weird, seeing them on television. I've seen them... six or seven times live. [Edit: Eight!] Frank's voice sounded really tight.
I still love them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It really was. Even in concert footage, you get some sense of the crowd, and this didn't. Still, good times.
