The Sequence - Simon Says (Official Video) YouTube video by Sugarhill Records

RIP Angie Stone - such tragic news. Long before her turn-of-the-century solo hits, she was a pioneering female rapper with The Sequence. Here's Simon Says from 1982

David Jo

I'm so sad we've lost David Johansen – our last living Doll 💔 I saw him a good dozen times in 1978/79 after his first amazing solo album. Such an icon. 💔

RIP David Jo 💔
If you don't know his post-Dolls career, here's Frenchette – one of my all-time favourite songs

The reunited New York Dolls recorded a 2006 album with the sage, self-aware title of One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This.

And it's pleasing to remember even that necessarily incomplete reunion of the band once disparaged as 'mock rock' but who influenced so many.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Also. It’s at the fantastic Walthamstow Trades Hall, a 70s time capsule of a place with cheap beer and a proper sprung wooden dancefloor. AND all the money goes to local foodbank Eat or Heat. What’s not to like?
