How David Bowie, Lou Reed and most shocking

of all, Iggy Pop still live and breathe on earth is something of a scientific anomaly. In contrast, the mighty New York Dolls had their share of R’n’R casualties. Only Sylvain Sylvain and David Johansen remain intact from the mid-70$. The songs still sound like a sock full of gobstoppers to the back of the head though, and they may look creaky but can still move when it’s demanded of them. A new album One Day it Will Please Us to Remember Even This reinforces the idea that old dogs and new tricks are always mutually exclusive.
