I'm off to 6music festival on Sat - Daughter, Suede, Steve Mason, Roisin Murphy and a chap called C Duncan who has been played a lot on the station & is pretty cool.

Sort of like a **** New York Dolls, who werent that great themselves.

That said, US punk kicks the arse off of the British stuff pretty much every time, Sex Pistols aside.

....that was later made famous by Steve Jones. I was luckily enough obtain the Gibson Custom Shop VOS replica of this a few years back.
Here's a pop fact...The pistols song New York was a 'tribute' to the Dolls (tribute in the way that it slagged the f**k out of them). In retaliation Johnny Thunders recorded 'London Boys' having a revenge pop at the Pistols. Steve Jones and Paul Cook kindly agreed to play on it!
