      Andy , You don't arf - fancy her , then . Who could blame ya? I always thought Vik was lovely , but , Tina was so pretty , oh so pretty , too. In America , their first LP was just called "We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It". The artwork differs slightly , but , the paint by numbers Steve Austin appears on the sleeve.  Well , in my opinion , MacLaren's biggest crime with The Dolls was taking shock and outrage in a direction even they could'nt pull off , namely , copping a phony Maoist stance. That just was not done in America , at the time. Even if he'd had a better plan, the bottom line was , he tried , and failed , to save a sinking ship. I don't think anyone could have , unfortunately.

      Yep! but look what Mclaren did to the Dolls and we still love'em. Once the majors got their grubby mitts onto Jo an co, the game was up. Still, through it all they still didn't take themselves too seriously. 2nd album Big Bang was all nonsense and unlistenable really. But Bostin' Steve Austin should be in every punks record box. XX Sex is an amazing song, and lets just say i've had many sleepless nights thinkin 'bout Tina the drummer, hehe

      In fact i think i'll put it in the great songs under 2 minutes thread.

      Amen to that , but , I liked that , at least early on , they were'nt a manufactured image , they just were what they were. I had no objections to how they LOOKED on the "International Rescue" 45 , with the Barbarella/Thunderbirds parody , but , it was an indication that the worst was yet to come. Their second album , I could'nt hang with that at all , sorry.

      I just read that Jo Dunne , Guitarist from Fuzzbox (AKA We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It.) passed away at just 43 years of age , from Cancer.

      I know Fuzzbox were'nt one of those bands that it was considered cool to like. I did. Still do , to a point. I just listened to their first EP a few weeks ago . It's a lot more abrasive and "DIY" than their later work , though their 1st LP IS'NT A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE GARAGE REVIVAL sounds going around at the time , save for the poppier - sounding vocals. Rumor had it the album was recorded for about $200. Another rumor had it that their not so secret weapon , a REAL fuzzbox , was the one used on "Pushin' Too Hard", a record that does'nt even appear to have a fuzztone on it . Truth is , when I first heard their record , I thought it was The Pandoras' new album , and if those were the concessions to commercial rock they were threatening to make , I was fine with it. Moreso than when I actually heard The Pandoras' own final EP.    Cancer also took Kelli Clarkson from Girlschool , another misunderstood all - female band. Cancer is'nt pissing around , but , if we don't live to piss on Cancer's grave , future generations will .

      This is just sublime. Outwith Liz Fraser, Lisa Gerrard has the most beautiful voice and technique i've ever heard and had the pleasure to see. The way her voice cracks near the end is amazing. Beautiful

      I'm really in love with Alison Mosshart of The Dead Weather and The Kills. She has killer stage presence that blows my mind.
