Oi! We (that is Tit Patrol and the Headies!) have some new video on the way, thanks to the newly (and thankfully for us) returned Jamesage! So in anticipation, to whet yer whistle, here are some killer live action videos of my directly previous band, the infamous Endless Mike Jambox, featuring Billy Frolic on rhythm guitar and back-up vocals, mc Ben on lead guitar, Paddy Robinson on bass, John Paul Pfizer on drums, and me Danny on singer! F.Y.I. i have a lot of old live footage of everything I ever did from Ninja Attak to Power of IV (when I was drinking!) to the Jambox to today, and I plan on digitizing all the old VHS and making a master Dan-Live Channel on which you can spend your days and brains, never to turn the station, cause you KNOW I do it the best.

Well, it happened. During the economic crunch and Manny-Mania, the Phils took the step and signed a replacement for my man, Pat Burrell in the Philadelphia left field. It just went down, so I don't know everything, such as why we would sign another left handed hitter to our lefty-heavy squad, or why we were able to give a 36 year old three years and not to the younger Burrell, but we now have the extremely respectable "Too Cool" Raul Ibanez. Great numbers, better OBP+ than the Bat, good man, good cheap alternative guitar, and I'm happy to have him, but I may be the biggest straight, non-female Pat Burrell fan in the tri-state area. I will miss him desperately. See, I am a better fan and more knowledgable than most, and while most money-ballers cream to OBP+ etc..., in my eyes the biggest stat is heart. While so many heckled and booed Burrell, I was always cheering, realistic yet optimistic. During those lean years Pat and J-Roll (with and assist from Bobby Abreu) were the whole team. I really wish we could have had him back for another two/three years, but here we are. I just hope he finds a good home, probably making bank as a DH somewhere, hopefully not New York or Boston, hopefully Baltimore! Pat the Bat and Big Tex? I'll drive down, or catch a ride with mc Ben. Anyway, thanks Pat! Here is an abbreviated highlight reel. We'll see ya around...

Awesome show at the Urban Bike Project last Saturday, in which not one, not two, but three rock and roll bands played! We were fortunate to have the Stalkers in from Brooklyn and the Toughshits in from Philly, and even though they looked like a) boyfriends of rock band Heart cerca 1973, b) extras from "Almost Famous", c) Sonny Bono conventioneers, or d) the dude selling Pall Malls while wathing "Little House on the Prairie" at the Texaco station, we all know that punk rock is 99% music and 1% everything else, so they were f@*#ing great! Plus they are very photogenic! The Stalkers in particular were fab, covering "Needle in the Camel's Eye" by Eno, and playing their own brand of punk influenced power-pop, not unlike the Stiletto Boys. The Apes finished off the evening with their neo-pomo-grunge revival, drunkenly and admirably! I guess it goes without saying that, like always, Tit Patrol was the greatest and best band that played that night or any night! No competion from the great Sexon Horse because Butch Worthy was sick. The Hunt Club also played. All photos by me (Dan) except Tit Patrol shots by mc Ben.
