Refugee education number one: B-an-an-a So that’s how his album start, spelling out the word banana over thirty seconds.

So it’s been a couple days but I don’t think anyone has noticed I’ve been missing? I got kidnapped by aliens on an UFO but I don’t think anyone will care about that at all! I totally love Kylie and I don’t really care what anyone else think. She not normally on lists like these […]Read Post ›

Why isn’t Poison Ivy rated as one of the greatest guitar players? She should be up on all those greatest guitarists which is just full of male rock type players. Is it because she a woman? Or it’s because she’s in a punk band and/or rockabilly band? It’s funny because The Cramps never had their […]Read Post ›
