god i love the internet!
as i was flipping thru blogs the other day i came across a site that just blew me away.
'punk turns 30' is packed with wonderful photos of punk bands from the 70's, and is run by theresa kereakes. she has a ton of photos of the ramones, blondie, sex pistols . . . and the list goes on . . .
so i saw and naturally had to post something silly, (as i am really good at that), mentioning the pistol post, and something about opening for the ramones. she responded in kind, (altho she complained my site made her browser crash, i have a long history of girls tellin' me that!).
and then i get an e-mail from a jenny stern, who it seems is a good friend of theresa's, and saw my post and wanted to use the pistol post on her site 'jenny lens'. turns out she is also a great rock photog and has some great pics of the 70's punk scene also.
now, if you are like me, you have probably read a bunch of rolling stone, creem and crawdaddy mags from that good old punk era. seems these girls were very busy, and i know i need to dig out my old boxes and see what i can find in those old mags.
at any rate, go check these talented girls out.
then check out these gems . . .
video streams from rhino:
the ramones - 'blitzkrieg bop'
the ramones - 'i wanna be sedated'
video stream from movie vault:

a really silly midi version of 'beat on the brat' for your next punk kareoke party (quicktime)

Man, with all the great links and pictures you come up with, I spend way too much time sitting at this computer. Good work Scooby!

i spend too much time in here too as you can see. just digging stuff up is very time consuming, but it keeps me off the streets and out of trouble. well, i dunno about the trouble bit.

I'm enjoying my visits in here more and more.
What a great story about the Sex Pistols in New Orleans.I was a little young for the punk scene..... it had all but evaporated by the time I was old enough to get in.
And if you could scan some of those old mags..... what a bonus.
Keep it up.
