"Frisky Dingo" is what your mom insisted on calling me in bed.

Punknews: we're all seventeen and vaguely homoerotic at heart.

I am loling

MattRamone (January 7, 2009)

You know, instead of this stuff, it would be awesome if someone actually wrote a good book about them, akin to Return of the Last Gang in Town.

how do you feel about Please Kill Me?

MattRamone (January 7, 2009)

It's good enough. It just suffers from too much of the "punk died in the 80's with new wave and also I've never heard of hardcore" that the first wavers indulge in too much.

scientistrock (January 7, 2009)

agreed on all counts. The best stuff is the coverage of iggy and the velvets.

MattRamone (January 7, 2009)

Oh yeah. It was nice hearing stories about Johnny Thunders, though. The Heartbreakers and the his first solo album are tits.

David5345 (January 7, 2009)

Try Dee Dee's book Lobotomy.

TheOneTrueBill (January 8, 2009)

Mostly made up but a damn fine read.

TheOneTrueBill (January 8, 2009)

Have you seriously never read "On The Road With The Ramones?"

No, serious question from one Ramones fanatic to another.

MilesQToast (January 7, 2009)

I didn't know those "G" commercials were for Gatorade til I went to the grocer today.

SloaneDaley (January 7, 2009)

if you are out there Mikey Edge email me, I need your feedback.

to kick off a punk rock record?

SloaneDaley (January 7, 2009)

it'd be pretty orgcore for real if we did, we could tour with the Sandwiches.

MilesQToast (January 7, 2009)

I could gargle some gravel and provide backing vocals

SloaneDaley (January 7, 2009)

I'm lucky I naturally sound like Tom Waits when I really let loose. I don't even smoke.

MilesQToast (January 7, 2009)

you are a lucky bastard. I wish I had an interesting singing voice. If I scream along with some music for an hour or two I sometimes get something going once my voice is half destroyed.

scientistrock (January 7, 2009)

I've been told I sound like Tom Waits. I used to smoke though.

yeah, I lknow I posted this link a few minutes ago just a little bit above here, but then I saw you guys were talking about Tom Waits. Also, did you know that Tom Waits has a song called "The Fall of Troy" and The Fall of Troy have a song called "Tom Waits"?

Your mind has just been blown*.

*Clam Tears and punknews.org do not condone the blowing of guys minds, unless you are a hot chick that has been endorsed by Holy Balls.

scientistrock (January 8, 2009)

Tom Waits has the approval of my favorite band of all time (the replacements) and my favorite currently active band (the gaslight anthem) so he wins as far as I'm concerned.

mikexdude (January 7, 2009)

Ah! Don't worry, I am doing that as we type...

SloaneDaley (January 7, 2009)

cool and check the beardpunx board there is a general question there.

KillingTheDream3 (January 8, 2009)

xote (January 8, 2009)
