Q: Do I wash a white shirt with black stripes in whites or colors?
I have a new club Monoco shirt that is equally black that it is white in stripes, and I'm not sure which pile to wash it in, the colors or the whites? Thanks a lot!

A: The first time, wash it with the colors so that if the black is going to run at all, it won't wreck all your whites. Then, once it;s been washed once to get rid of all the excess dye etc etc, start washing it with the whites to keep the white parts looking nice.

Q: R & P, N. Cave, Doors, W. Stripes fans, heard this LA Psychobilly/Blues/Country Punk band that formed in 1980?
R & P, I'm leaving answers very soon for a variety of reasons, so I'm putting out a last question or 2--R & P, Nick Cave/Birthday Party, Doors, White Stripes fans, have you ever heard of this L.A. Psychobilly/Blues/Country Punk band that formed in 1980? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gun_Club_(band) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkuK35mTUmw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U08dJMyzpx0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elgXiZ3w_wg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyX-KwwOAuo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_krVMMRNdE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT066mCuS7Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGj2AX8JhKI Yes the tall dark haired female bassist is Patricia Morrison, who was in the LA Punk bands the Bags & Legal Weapon, before she was in Gun Club after which then, she was in a group called Fur Bible, then Sisterhood & Sisters of Mercy & then she had a solo album out & then she joined the Punk/Goth Punk group the Damned & married Dave Vanian the singer of the Damned & now she's retired, raising her & Dave's children now. I mentioned the Doors because the singer of this group while he was alive was called the Mississippi Delta Punk version of Jim Morrison. Speaking of solo work this group's singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce had solo music out before he died 12 years ago-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Lee_Pierce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-VPafT6La8 Bonus Question--Do you have any favorites of this Psychobilly/Blues/Country Punk band-- I got up to grab a snack & I forgot to mention earlier, yes Smiley that's a lot of great recommendations, I have music by most of them, but I don't have Pontiac Brothers, Liquor Giants, David Microwave or Stepmothers yet, I think I might have an indy label catalog somewhere with Pontiac Brothers on it. Is there any chance they used to be on Bomp, SST or Touch & Go? I wish I remembered, cause there's a few bands here & there I don't quite have yet. Before I forget Nuns did a cover of a 60's band's song which ironically enough the 60's band was called the Monks. I've got a compilation of 23 songs of the Nuns, called "4 Days in a Motel Room" definitely I always thought they were underappreciated by a lot of people. An activist friend of mine is a member of one of the bands you mentioned by the way Smiley. He used to write for an Intl. Punk magazine too. My immature days rubbed off on him too much though, when he first got in LA he ended up beating up a famous musician at the Whisky Ahh yes Kit I've familiar with Rank & File, the Kinman brothers I remember were in a Punk band before that called the Dils. Since I think I remembered, you remembered Boys Next Door & the Scientists. You probably might like the Dils too Kit. Dils have a collection of their music on cd with 29 songs, which is simply called "The Dils", which that cd is on Damaged Goods record label in London even though they were a California band. I'd like to finish getting video footage of all these bands all of us are talking about. I have Gun Club albums & video footage on DVD. Besides albums/collections of other bands we mentioned except the ones I don't have & some of that other stuff on DVD, but I wish I had Agent Orange on video too. I'd recommend one of the first Grunge bands too called the Wipers, which has great guitar work in that too. Before I forget I like some Canadian bands too like DOA, Subhumans, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, etc.

A: I've been a fan for years. I still own the following LP's by them; Sex Beat 81, The Las Vegas Story, Lucky Jim, Fire of Love, Miami, Danse Kalinda Boom-Live in Pandora's Box, Mother Juno, I also own their 'Death Party' EP. A few of my favorite songs: Port of Souls Yellow Eyes Walking With the Beast Sex Beat She's Like Heroin to Me Mother of Earth Moonlight Motel My Dreams Black Train Run Through the Jungle My Cousin Kim Jack on Fire For the Love of Ivy Watermelon Man Eternally Is Here I used to own their 'The Birth the Death the Ghost' album, but sold it shortly after buying it in the mid 80's. If I recall, it contained some pretty bad quality live recordings. Looking back, I probably should have hung onto to it...might be worth something today. If you enjoy The Gun Club, you might also want to check out some lesser known bands like 'Tav Falco's Panther Burns', 45 Grave, Fur Bible (featuring Kid Congo Powers of The Gun Club). Also, The Pontiac Brothers, and the Liquor Giants (both bands featuring Ward Dotson of The Gun Club). Also, their was a cool San Francisco you band might like called 'The Nuns' who released their 1st self titled album back in 1980 on the obscure 'Posh Boy' record label. Other bands/artists on the label included Agent Orange, David Microwave, U.X.A., The Stepmothers...great stuff too! Even 'Black Flag' released their 'Louie Louie / Damaged 1' single on the label. Here's a bio and download for the Nuns album: http://chrisgoesrocks.blogspot.com/2008/11/nuns-nuns-new-wave-us-1980.html
