Ramones: Acid Eatersby James Greene, Jr. • May 26, 2009 RamonesAcid Eaters(Radioactive, 1993)You can knock the Ramones for a number of things (lying about being brothers, letting Dee Dee quit, inspiring Rancid), but what you can't deny punk rock's most revered foursome is their ability to execute excellent covers. Da Bruddahs, as no one has liked to call them since 1992, were pretty sharp when...

--- - |- Earlier this week, BBC News ran an article with the headline that Rock Drummers are 'Top Athletes' and ran a photo of Blondie drummer Clem Burke wearing a mask that presumably is some kind of measuring apparatus. The article discussed things like heart rate / beats per minute and stamina and all that sort of thing - full of double entendres the likes of which you remember and roll yo...

I was born in 1974. Films at the time like Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II, Roman Polanski's Chinatown were big hits at the box office but you also had films like Jack Hill's Blaxploitation film Foxy Brown blasting out onto the screens of Drive ins and Grindhouses. There was definitely a big change taking place in cinema during the 70s. In the world of music, a big change was happe...

This album, along with the likes of the first Velvets album, early Beatles and Stones records, are responsible for a lot of the music we all love today. This, the Ramones first sounds like it was recorded in a closet, and bands have spent the better part of thirty years trying to sound like it. To me, this is punk, not the watered down radio friendly "oh I'm so hurt and I'm so sensitive but I...

--- - |- For any of us who grew up listening to rock and roll, air guitar was an integral part of the experience. "Air guitar is inherent to anyone who listens to rock music," says Craig Billmeir of Alameda, while noting that his old roommate's two-year-old begins the air guitar motions whenever a Ramones record is put on. "No one taught her that." Billmeir knows a thing or two about air gu...

The other day I made a pit stop at a bar I don't regularly visit to get a couple of pints on the fly when, just as my first oat soda was served, a commercial flashed across the wall of TVs behind the bar. It featured slam-dancing soda pop cans who were partial to the classic Ramones tune "Blitzkrieg Bop.":http://rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=75817&si=rhino I thought: "somewhere, so...
