X
- Live In Los Angeles DVD Review
As
to be expected, X not only delivers their expected performance, but the
filming quality of this dvd is off of the charts. Exene's and Doe's
classic harmonizing is pure poetry and in the typical X signature fashion. ....more

or for worse. The blog feature on that site is a cool feature so we will
post up quickie stuff about the shows we were just at, the places we were
skating as well as just posting our observations. Check us out at http://myspace.com/teamgoon

Johnny
Ramone has left us (R.I.P.) 1948-2004
This
is almost too much to take. Another one of us is gone. This is really
weird when people that are part of the bands that have been a big part of
your life with the music they created are gone. The true Punks out there
know that The Ramones are the ones that inspired many of the great Punk
bands of the 80's and even many of the bands today. Our scene has suffered
another loss today, yet his spirit still lives on. |
