STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » THE DAMNED REUNITED

Last Thursday night, as I blew past Craig Ferguson’s show, my cable box flashed “the Damned” as a guest performer. I was curious and cautiously apprehensive to find out what was left of the REAL Damned, a la Rat Scabies, Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, et al. Well, I’ll be damned if the old codgers didn’t give a pretty good accounting of themselves blistering through “Neat Neat Neat.” No Rat Scabies on drums, but the old crew seems to be intact. Dave Vanian looks remarkably well preserved… still quite dapper, actually… kind of like Jeeves at a rave, with his trademark velvet gloves and Lily Munster racing stripe. It’s nice on occasion to root for one of your icons and not have it make you feel like a dinosaur.

Music is a fad. It’s all derivative and I can’t believe I wrote about the Damned either. i just wanted be able to say I could post stuff near David Cross.

Gotta jet to get Deerhunter tickets but I’ll be back swingin’ for the fences soon

STREET CARNAGE is mostly a website that features street fashion critiques called STREET BONERS and compilations of bad television called TV CARNAGE. The site also has a blog, a radio show, and regularly features video shorts made by Gavin and Derrick.

STREET CARNAGE is also a live presentation you can have in your town where Gavin shows a Street Boners "Best Of" and Derrick shows his latest TV Carnage endeavors.

STREET BONERS will eventually be compiled into a huge book which will feature hundreds of pages of Boners as well as contributions from Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, Tim & Eric and many more.

Derrick makes videos for various bands as well as his own movies. His most recent project is called "Cop Movie" and is comprised of about three dozen different cop movies and he also has a workout video coming out that is made up of a million disgusting workout tapes. Gavin does freelance writing for TV, film and magazines and they both do funny acting stuff as well as other hilarious video shit we'll tell you about later. They are both dicks.
