I imagine I'll post some sort of commemoration for David Johansen and the New York Dolls in the not too distant future. Although they've been referenced so many times on this blog that the whole enterprise (not to mention much of the music itself) could already be mistaken for an extended Dolls tribute. I find it a little weird (or sad... or angering) that so many of the second generation bands that sprung up in the wake of the Beatles and the Stones (etal) had pretty bad fortune when it comes to longevity. The Dolls, the Ramones, the MC5 - they're all gone. Not a single original member left alive. And meanwhile Keef and Mick and Paul and Ringo are regularly hosting Metamucil parties without a care in the world. I mean, thank god for Iggy, I guess.
Anyway, this new mix. 24 releases I didn't discover until after posting my Best of 2024. And many of them definitely in that Dolls spirit. Crank 'em.
