Hello!

Well, for the first time in 37 years, I listened to The Runaways tonight (after reading Cantanky and demonrail singing their praises), and have to admit I likey them loads. So, you into them too? Any reminiscences/recommedations most welcome from anyone. So, the floor is all yours now. Go!

Not that I like them at ALL, but some might recommend you seek someone to burn you their first album - The Runaway, Queens of Noise and, ahem, Flaming Schoolgirls.

there's a good shot of lita ford's ass in silver hot pants in the 3rd one if you're interested

Oh great, here we go....

Cantanky - I love Joan Jett, she is one cool chick, and still playing out now, I believe. Will buy "Queens Of Noise" on my next trip to HMV - after picking up my metal CDs of course :D. By the way, have you had any chance to check out some of the non-MBV stuff I sent ya? PS. Hope you're feeling better on the leg front - I winced when I read what happened to you earlier on today.

i went to the same university as lita ford

thx hon


wtf is that L7 on prozac?

took me an age to track down which one she was at

Have you heard the Guitar Wolf record where he just covers Joan Jet stuff? Truly magnificent. Truly.

Didn't we all.

Lita Ford? "Kiss me once!/Kiss me deadleeeeeeee" etc

overrated. and ugly too.

lita ford played guitar in the runaways
she's the one with the reaaaallly long hair

this band was epic.

they inspired the germs and the go-go's too.

And this is an album by the man who discovered and promoted them. Isn't RnR just absolutely fucking awesome sometimes.

you guys have WEIRD obsessions
"i smell a rat"

Cantanky - oh, really? Wow.

I have to say now - "Cherry Bomb" is like "Raw Power"-era Stooges, but better. There, I said it.

I smell a kebab...oh, hang on, that's mine...

'C'mon Let's Go' is like "Cherry Bomb"-era Runaways, but better. There, I said it.

i just turned on their first record really loud

ima go dance around now

mmm okay
wahahahahahahaha
is this a tequila kebab?
so i will leave now i guess
night night

overrated. and ugly too.

I'd join you, Cantanky, but being an old man, I don't have the moves down just yet. Give me time though, and I'll get it sorted *goes to find "cherry bomb" mp3*

EDIT: Bonne nuit, greedex.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you ... Kim ... motherfuckin ... Fowley. You really do WANT this album.

lita let me borrow her set square once

demonrail - have you still got that Runaways interview LP on your person?

i kept it:o

I do, yes. The 7" thingumy?

these humorous asides aren't going unappreciated. In case you were wondering.

I remember it being a 12" thing - you played it to me the first time I came round the original Demonrail Mansions - you bought it on a record buying trip w/Fab, remember?
