"You're Lou Reed. God, you are cool, can I touch you so the magic will rub off? You are perceptive, witty, and badass. You wear cool shades, even at night, and probably wear black more than most people. You don't give a fuck what other people think, but you are also very sensitive in the way that you pick up on things that others don't. Sometimes you come off as an asshole, but that's what makes you cool. You are a poet, and you embody New York City. You will still be hip when you are old, and artists love you..."
Which rad old school 70's glam icon are you?

The Cramps upcoming release will hopefully cut a swathe through all these bloody bootlegs which have accumulated and come around in 7 year cycles like Walt Disney movies. Seeing as J added the info from the Mordam site, I figured that there was no need to keep the link to it. Let's hope that there's a dvd in the works maybe too. The band should be capitalising on its assets right about now and nobody could put it together better than them. I might not be down with their recent album but I know that they still have GOOD taste!

Out soon: CRAMPS - HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER (VENGEANCE, 2CD). "Reaching into the vaults, The Cramps dug up 143 minutes of previously unreleased rare tracks. Most of this is early demo and live recordings from 1976 and '77. Booklet includes extensive liner notes by Lux and Ivy and rare and unseen photos and flyers from their personal collection. The Cramps will tour the U.S. upon the release of this collection".
Update: from the Mordam site: "Displaying their disdain for the myth of musical progress, The CRAMPS reach back into the clammy womb of their prehistoric past to release HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER, a 2- disc 143 minute frightfest of previously unreleased rare tracks. Thrill to 1st ever rehearsals featuring Bryan Gregory's sister on drums and Lux Interior ripping out a guitar solo! Wonder what substance they abused during a 1982 rehearsal as they stumble through "Rumble Blues" and add an apocalyptic twist to "Lonesome Town". You'll actually hear a dope deal going on in the background during their 3rd ever live gig at Max's Kansas City! All this and more! Stupefying! Includes book with extensive liner notes by Lux and Ivy, themselves, and rare and unseen photos and flyers from their personal collection. All material previously unreleased. 1982 studio demos with the GUN CLUB's Terry Graham on drums. 3rd ever live gig at Max's Kansas City with relentless hecklers. 1 year later live at CBGB with shrieking chaos
(not the name of a band)".
