They're not necessarily a goth rock band although the media often tends to label them 'gothabilly' is a more modern band from Brighton in England called The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, their first album Horse of the Dog is awesome dark themed garagey punk and one of my favourites. Definitely worth checking out. Then there's the Vile Imbeciles who was started by the Eighties Matchbox lead guitarist after he left the band which is more in the Birthday Party sort of vein. Both great bands I'd highly recommend.

"I have fun everywhere I go" by the fantastic Mike Edison>>

YES! The CD of Edison reading parts of the book and Jon Spencer going nuts in the background is lotsa fun too.

Hello Kopper... you are absolutely right about early Blondie (my very favorite era of this band)... but, I have to say Debbie crossed over to the "dark side" when Blondie released the crap album Autoamerican... and their hit single "Rapture." That was Debbie Harry at her fu*k me best. Maybe I should have said Gwen Stefani instead!

f me- every girl in top 40 music for last 15 years

f you- Rachel Nagy (Detriot Cobras)
Pearl Harbor especially the song "I wish I were you"

Did anybody on here go to the Portland show? What were the lines like at that one?

Hey Kopper - look forward to seeing ya'll. I'll shoot you my phone # via email - text or call me. Here's a few things about Lawrence for the uninitiated - its about 45 minutes west of KC. For those in the western KC burbs its really like another suburb and it has the best record store (Lovegarden) w/in 200 miles - check it out. 2 of the venues (Liberty Hall & the Bottleneck) are on the north end of Mass. St. and the Granada & Jackpot are on the south end. They're 2-3 blocks apart.


KU football will be on the road so no need to worry about college football crowds. However, there's a big NASCAR race in western KCK so there could be delays along I-70 if you're coming from the east. If you are coming in from the east you may want to consider taking I-470 south and then west and connect up w/I-435 and then connect w/K-10 west bound. It's going to be in the mid 60's w/a few clouds so its going to be an awesome day.

One question - Gories or Oblivians?

Dead Boys "Son Of Sam"

Good memory, but not exactly right, it's the Hollywood Square's "Hillside Strangler" that is on the same KBD comp (#1) as the Child Molester's song of the same name, not F-Word's song. I had to pull out the CD myself to find that out.

Aren't both of those on the same Killed By Death comp?

F-Word "Hillside Strangler" different song than the Child Molester's song.

BTW, another recommendation I would like to make is "I Slept With Joey Ramone," which is a very upclose and personal look at Joey Ramone, written by his brother and Legs McNeil. Sadly, you're going to find out that Joey could be a real asshole too in his own strange way, although a lot of it was due to his OCD.

The first music book i ever read was No One Here Gets Out Alive during my Doors Faze. Several other books on music that i recomend would be.
Tattooed on their tongues- a journey through the backrooms of american music- Colin Escott
Fargo Rock City- Chuck Klosterman
Rockabilly- Billy Poore
Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography
