Wayne Kramer back in prison


Only for a visit, mind you. More on his day at Sing Sing and Brother Wayne's long-held view about the war on drugs here.

The last time Phil Spector appeared here

It was back during his re-trial when he was found guilty. The hits on the Rant went off the radar and my guess is it was because I pinched this photo:

It obviously must have registered high in Google's image search rankings and people just kept clicking through. Let's see what happens this time.

I don't care what you punks say

Dr Feelgood were the duck's nuts, especially THIS line-up.

Thanks for the heads-up to this clip, Vinz Guyot!

Rumours album out


The sucker arrived by courier today. Not Mick Medew (pictured) but the album by him and his band, The Rumours. Five boxes of it. The first copies went out to retail late today but you can order "All Your Love" direct (and clear some of my debt) here. Be quick 'cos I'm on my way to the post office and I hate lining up to be served by the ponce with the ring on his thumb.

Don't forget the June 6 Sydney album launch at The Vanguard in Newtown and stay tuned for news on the Brisbane show.

Free new Dinosaur Jr.

Grab a song "I Want You To Know" from the forthcoming album. Dinosaur Jr.

The Monks

If proof was needed of this band's greatness, check out this 1966 clip.

John Varvatos is Born in Detroit


The fashion label guy who bought CBGBs and turned it into a retail store is doing a radio program for Sirius called "Born In Detroit." John Varvatos appears to have his heart in the right place even if the idea of his $100 T-shirts on sale in THAT place are the antithesis of punk rock and roll. He talks about his program here.

What every home needs


A GG Allin bobblehead. Hopefully, it won't shit in its own hands and throw excrement on you, but if that's your thing you can get one from the ROIR label.
