Well...there's another year gone by...and just like that, now we're 4!

Crazy, right?! We can hardly believe it ourselves!

On this most momentous of occasions, we could go on and on in some big, convoluted, self congratulatory puff piece about "what it all means" and how ThisAintTheSummerOfLove has helped change the world for the better during the past 4 years. But since you and I both know that's a complete load of B.S., we feel a sincere "thank you" to each and every one of you who takes the time to read, comment and/or submit ideas will suffice.

So..."Thank You!"

New In Stores Today: Joey Ramone "...Ya Know?"

As ya may (or may not) know, the long awaited 2nd posthumous solo album by Joey Ramone, titled "...Ya Know?" hits the shelves of music stores today. It may seem like a lot of work and maybe a bit old-school, but do yourself (and your local music retailer) a favor and stop by on your way home from work this afternoon and pick up a copy for your CD collection. Or you can do it the easy way and just sit right where you are and order up a copy from Amazon.com. Either way you win - just check out some of the coolness that drips from this album in this handy-dandy pre-release Electronic Press Kit:



I can hear you now: "All those people played on this album? I didn't know that."

Ahhhh...well, now...ya know! And now you want a copy, don't you?

Go! Now! Get in your car! Drive fast and take chances! Do what you gotta do, but just get to the damn record store already and get a copy!



And, just as a completely random side observation...seems that Joey and I (yes, that would be me - the hairball with the ripped up jeans in the center of this circa 1989 photo here) shared the same idea about pants...that maybe, just maybe, less is more.
