Could anyone tell me what exactly I missed? Thomas on a panel and discussing the Psychedelic Furs?! How cool. I can tottally see why Thomas would like them...the Ghost In You was such a great song. And Michael and Denise, I totally agree that Bow Wow Wow was much more than a one hot wonder. And I think you are well within your right to consider Blondie new wavers...they were on the scene from Day 1. I just finished a great book entitled "Please Kill Me". Has anyone read it? I found it as satisfying as a 2 week vacation. It starts off with the Velvet Underground and Warhol Factory-Era scenesters, through Glam rock, the birth of "Punk", and ends with the early 80's + cocaine+ overdoses. The book is comprised of quotes which form a narrative thread, forcing you into a state of obsessive, page-turning voyeurism (eg Iggy Pop actually did THAT? Debbie Harry said WHAT?!) I really loved it. >>Jon Please Kill Me (the uncensored oral history of punk) by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2000 05:38:19 -0400 From: Jon Subject: Alloy: Hmmm It's amazing how easy it is to spot the typos after you already posted the message. Tottally? One hot wonder? Bahahahaha ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V5 #186 ***************************
