Interviews: The Damned's Captain Sensible on "punk," Lemmy, and the band's new LP

by johng@nospam.punknews.org (johng)
Erin H

I'm super excited for this new album. The Damned have literally spawned entire genres (hello Dave Vanian, godfather of goth) and their music is ALWAYS interesting. I have tickets to see them in April, and I'm STOKED.

The fact is, Captain Sensible IS punk rock. Not only is he a founding member of The Damned, one of the first three English punk bands (and the first to put out a record), but, just as the genre was codifying itself based off those early punk masterpieces, Sensible and the boys laughed at the "rules" and suddenly started playing psychedelia, pop, goth, and maybe even a little prog, proving that punk has no boundaries. Since then, the Damned have been hurtling through the galaxy of music, playing whatever tickles their fancy. The fact is, whatever "punk" may be, it's definitely what the Damned are doing, and no one does it like them.

Now, the band is celebrating their 40th anniversary with some UK and USA shows. They also have a new album coming up on the horizon and, knowing the Damned, it could sound like anything. So, Punknews' John Gentile called up Captain Sensible to talk about just a fraction of the adventures that the Captain has had over his four decades of smashing it up. They talked about the concept of "punk," Lemmy, the Ramones, and that time Sting got kicked out of the Damned's dressing room.

Happy Halloween from the Cena and Bella household where, this year, the WWE power couple are dressing up as one another for the holiday. So kids that show up to Cena's house looking for candy will get the very beefy Cena trying to fit into a Fearless Nikki shirt, some really tight shorts and a makeup job that sort of has him looking like a nightmare you may have once

Music Monday: Boo!

Erin H

this is the first one ever where i actually like EVERY band on the list. awesome!
related: if you have never listened to the horrorpops, do yourself a favor and give them a try. my fave is "caught in a blond".


Happy Music Monday! And HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today Scott's just picked a few songs that are rockin'-yet-scary. We hope you join in with the rock or the scare as you see fit. BOOOOOOO.

Horrorpops - Ghouls

 

The fusion between scary, punk rock and '50s rockabilly happened a long long time ago. Even still, it's rare to see someone haul a giant double bass on stage for a rock show! The idea of carrying that around on tour is the scariest part of this song for me.

More terror to come, and then it'll be YOUR TURN.

The Murder City Devils - Demon Brother

 

I know I found the Murder City Devils through a friend, but I can't recall what friend it was! If it was you, thank you very much. These Devils occupy a very special place in my heart, especially when I need driving around music.

The Cramps - I Was A Teenage Werewolf

 

I remember being a little kid and seeing a Cramps record on the wall of the record store. I knew from the font that this would be a scary band and didn't pick up the record. Now, of course, I wish I had. It's worth a lot! And of course, like all right-minded people, I learned to love the Cramps as I grew up.

The Misfits - Skulls

 

I chose this instead of the classic "Last Caress" because some people might find the lyrics of "Last Caress" too controversial. How many bands from thirty years ago can still say that?

GWAR - Gor Gor

 

How could I NOT use this excuse to post a little Gwar? SHAME ON YOU IF YOU THOUGHT OTHERWISE

Hit up our Facebook page and maybe you can win a Misfits album on vinyl! A reissue, of course. Also let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week.

How To Make Olive Garden-Style Garlic Breadsticks — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

by Tami Weiser
Erin H

YASSS

Light in texture, with a coating of butter, salt, and garlic, these are the soft breadsticks you remember from the first time you went to an Olive Garden (or perhaps even the last time you went). These famous breadsticks have a white, fluffy center and a tender, delicate crust. Soft and kid-friendly, these are sure to be gobbled up as soon as they get their slathering of butter and herb goodness when they come out of the oven. Here's what makes them so delicious and how to achieve it at home.

Five Ways to Politely Deal With People Who Keep Interrupting You

by Kat Boogaard
Erin H

I have tried ALL these things with a particular coworker and just keep getting interrupted. to the point where she completely misunderstands the conversation because i can't even clarify after her first interruption! she hears something she thinks she doesn't like and gets so worked up she just doesn't stop, even when i ask her to let me clarify. it is infuriating.

“I’ve been giving it some thought,” I said in a team meeting at one of my previous jobs, “And I really think the partner listings on our website would function better if we—” “Let me jump in,” interjected one of my co-workers, before I was even able to finish my thought and put my idea out on the table.

Would You Get a Shot of Your Own Blood Plasma in Your Clit if it Meant More Orgasms?

by Madeleine Davies
Erin H

NOPE NOPE NOPE NO NEEDLES ANYWHERE NEAR THERE THANK YOU GOOD DAY SIR I SAID GOOD DAY

According to Elisabeth Lloyd’s comprehensive analysis of 80 years of female orgasm studies, only a quarter of women consistently have orgasms during vaginal intercourse, while 20% will never have orgasm during vaginal intercourse at all. So what if you don’t have orgasms during sex (or you’re part of the 5% that has never orgasmed, period) and you’re looking to change it? Would you take a (supposedly painless) injection of your own blood into your clitoris if a doctor said it would help you come?
