Well, I might not have seen your ...Hi again Donna,<br /><br />Well, I might not have seen your reply if it hadn't been for the fact that you were so nice as to leave a message on my own blog, LOL. And thank you for that, Donna, I appreciate that. Don't you just hate it when people don't get back to you, LOL. <br /><br />You love The Cramps! Good onya!!! I saw them too, not in 1980 but a decade later. I'm sure you've learnt the sad news of Lux Interior's passing a couple of months back. Heartbreaking! <br /><br />And you love punk and you live with migraines! Gee, are you a female version of me!? Haha. Unfortunately, I've had migraines since I was five (I fell off a plastic scooter). I don't think I went on one single school excursion without getting sick :-(<br />Oh well, that's life. <br /><br />Hey I read your 'Walk the Dark Streets' review. Good stuff. And you mentioned The Cramps in the comments section; you ARE a fan. LOL. Maybe I SHOULD drop by once in a while after all. :D<br /><br />All the best<br />Jack<br /><br />PS: Gee, you're a published writer! Wauw. Congrats! I'm afraid I haven't quite accomplished that ... altho I did publish a fanzine called 'Stay Sick!' years ago. LOL.Jack Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-88631984049277705212009-08-24T22:43:49.304-07:002009-08-24T22:43:49.304-07:00Hi Jack,
Thank you, kind sir, for your lovely com...Hi Jack,<br /><br />Thank you, kind sir, for your lovely comments, you rascal :o) I love the old stuff too. In fact, there's a feature on a number of blogs called Friday's Forgotten Books in which I am going to participate every 2 or 3 weeks. My most recent entry was this one:<br />http://bigbeatfrombadsville.blogspot.com/2009/08/fridays-forgotten-books-walk-dark.html<br />I have a small but perfectly formed pile of Gold Medal paperbacks and the like - Day Keene, Peter Rabe, my favourite - Richard S Prather. One of my favourites is Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham - which is way darker than the film (which I also love). The Cramps! Of COURSE they are one of my favourite bands (hence the blog title - and I saw them in the early 80s too - they were amazing) so I went and looked at my list on my profile and somehow loads of favourites have disappeared. Like you, I love punk (but mines is the UK late 70s version :o)). I see you have the Ministry on your list - I love Jesus Built My Hotrod. So I have updated my list and hope they stay there this time :o)<br /><br />You HAVEN'T read through all my posts? Shame on you, sir! Just kidding - that would be torture beyond everything. I do write. My second book is coming out next year.<br /><br />Anyway, thank your for stopping by and for your kind words - made my day - and I hope you will visit again. Well, if you don't you won't see my reply will you? :o)<br /><br />Take care,<br />DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-64759042157221288282009-08-24T21:23:45.158-07:002009-08-24T21:23:45.158-07:00Hey Donna,

Your introductory post is fun and you write really well (oh and your photo is really nice too. Are you married? No, don't answer that, I live on the other side of the big water anyway). I like old hard-boiled crime fiction so actually your blog is about stuff that's waaay too new for me... HOWEVER... I wanted to comment on your blog title: I see you don't have The Cramps among your fave bands? Shame on you girlie! You used the title from that fave LP of theirs and didn't even mention it, LOL. Btw (maybe I would know this if I'd read thru all your posts but, well, I haven't) is crime fiction only a hobby for you or is it somehow something you do for a living, as a writer or reviewer or something?<br />Anyway, I'm rambling. Best of luck with the blog. <br /><br />All the best<br />Jack JJack Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-27479876042984739672009-05-28T12:50:14.266-07:002009-05-28T12:50:14.266-07:00Oh, that explains it.
