I’m pretty sure I’m going to develope Swine Flu. Or, it could be hayfever and I’ve caught a cold off my niece or nephew. Obviously if I had Swine Flu, I’d be in my bed feeling sorry for myself drifting in and out of a deep slumber.

So, the point of this post is for me to mention one of the best bands ever….NEW YORK DOLLS!

I’ve got a few albums, and I recently found a copy of their debut album at my mum’s. In all honesty, I have got the coolest mum in the world. So yeah, she has their album, so I asked her why. She told me she likes them, I never ever knew this. This woman played me Bob Dylan and Kraftwerk probably when I was in the womb y’know? I was pretty shocked to find such an album amongst a pile of books.

You can see why Morrissey loves them amongst a load of others. Simply one of the greatest bands ever and I feel that they are not appreciated enough. These guys are still going (David and Sylvain are the only founding members left). Their latest album is one I regard as one of the best of this year, yet I know not many will have given it the time of day. SHAME ON YOU.

Subway Train is my favourite New York Dolls track, but Jet Boy will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

So, stop reading my blog and go listen to some New York Dolls! 😉
