Thundertrain reunion tour: "Hot off a rave review in Rolling Stone of their TEENAGE SUICIDE reissue on Gulcher, Thundertrain will reunite for the first time ever, playing six cities in six nights! The Boston-area dates kick off August 19 in Worcester, roll on through Attleboro, Somerville, and Jamaica Plain to a Saturday night climax in Cambridge with Cheetah Chrome and Unnatural Axe, and wrap up with a Sunday afternoon finale and weenie roast in lead singer Mach Bell's hometown of Holliston.

Dunno how many of you remember Gene Sculatti's 'Catalog Of Cool' book and it's follow up 'Too Cool', but it was great to note that most of those books contents are now available on-line. And yeah, some of this stuff is a bit too corny/cheezy for my particular taste, but you also get contributions by such fine folk like Tim Warren, Nick Toshes, Lux Interior, John Waters and Joey Ramone, all of 'em cool to the point of bein' frosty. GO!.
