Top Of The Pops 2 aired two songs by The Blasters last night (Tuesday). Blistering versions of Marie Marie and One Bad Stud , recorded during their recent eurojaunt filled those living rooms that tuned in and indicated, for a couple of brief instants, that real rock and roll still exists. Even although most of the common five-eighth wouldn't know the symptoms if they parked out on their kissers. Chase it down via the BBC website. http:www.bbc.co.uk

Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Cheated? - Is the name of a four CD boxset to be released by Rhino on October 28. The aim being to follow-on from the Nuggets boxsets but with the focus turned to 1973 - 1980. Check out the full track listing at the Rolling Stones website and read a nifty online overview at Chartattack. Ironically, the boxset does not contain a single track by the Sex Pistols but there is an absolute truckload of great stuff including good ole Two Tub Man by the Dictators. No doubt this is gonna keep those pesky Punk Rock revisionists clucking for a while.
