Testing 1 2 3

Ummm... is the mike on?
Is this mike working, like?
I said, IS THE MIKE ON, MAN?
(crash of electric guitar chords with eardrum-perforating feedback)

Uh... right- the mike's on. Cool...

Let's hear it for... all grrrl cover band... the.... Ramonas!
with good songs for stupid dumbfuck times.

.....1, 2, 3, 4!

The Ramonas thrashed through a fabulous best of, powered by a banging rhythm section from Margie Ramona. Covers faithfully rendered included the elegiac lyricism of Blitzkrieg Bop , those evergreen allusions to Freaks in Pinhead, the unforgettable Suzy Is A Headbanger... And who amongst us toothless oldies could fail to tap a foot to the immortal Beat On The Brat.

That last top pop pick is dedicated to the kiddies, bless their still-beating hearts... (smiles and winks).

If this transmits, I could be back with further gems of wisdom. But only if I can figure out how to embed a picture link, and even then almost certainly unreliably. You can depend on that.
