NEWS

I never meant for this site to be about news for the Ramones, more about odd stuff about them that you dont see elsewhere

Since having had my second child in September 2006 - Ramona Suzie Jackie Judy Sheena Heidi Ramone - time has been swallowed up and I dont get the chance to update things as much as I'd like to - if I get any real NEWS I pass it on to JP-LR (see the links section)

Heres a couple of things that have popped up recently

DECEMBER 2006

Debbie Olin, the girl who was there when it all started was also the lady who was there when it all finished - go check out her videos from the last days of CBGB's and much more here

Dee Dee Ramone sadly no longer makes albums, but his paintings do - go check out

http://www.myspace.com/falsealarmrecords

to listen to tracks from the False Alarm album "FUCK 'EM ALL WE'VE ALL READY (NOW) WON!" which includes a great cover by Dee Dee and Paul Kostabi (who also plays guitar on the album. Special guest star is Cheetah Chrome from the Dead Boys - Joey Ramone once told me "If you like us, you'll love the dead boys" - he was right

Its a great album, reminds me of the Dictators, if you like the 4 tracks on the website you wont be dissapointed with the album

The DVD of the "Its Alive" album with bonus footage is due out in 2007 - 30 years after the gig - I've seen the raw footage, its fucking incredible, I'm sure they'll do a good job on it - its going to be the one DVD to own

 

I guess I'll add more news to this as it comes along ....

Dont hold your breath though !
