CHRISTMAS RECEIVING
Rita: Look there’s Sleazegrinder—he’s writing
for that British magazine—ask him what gift he’d like. Lolita:
Sure! Sleazegrinder—what would you like planted on you this holiday
season? SLEAZEGRINDER (Classic
Rock Magazine): Cracktorch
reunion. Or a Vincent Price shrunken head kit. Whichever is cheaper.
*** JORDAN VALENTINE (Sunday Saints/ Brownboot): For Christmas,
I shall require ten feet of sturdy rope, two chickens, ten pounds of
baker’s chocolate, a Mandarin-to-Portuguese translator, and seven
one-way tickets to Istanbul. Oh, and a new pair of cozy slippers. Thanks.
*** BILLY BORGIOLI (the Varmints): The gift I want is a Varmints
CD with the new line-up of Josh, Danny, and Fred. We have more than
enough songs! *** BEN DEILY (Varsity Drag): All I really want is an M136
AT4 shoulder-fired rocket launcher… and a pony. *** LISA DEILY
(Varsity Drag): Bail money. *** MATT
JATKOLA (the Bynars): All I
want for Christmas is Perfect
Strangers: Seasons 1 and 2
on DVD. *** BUBBA GRIMM (Danse of the Macabre): As always there are
many practical things that I could use for Christmas this year—clothes,
money for my bills, gift certificates. However, I always want the most
impractical thing out there. So what I want for Christmas this year
is a framed autographed photo of Vincent Price (The
Oblong Box) to match the autographed
photo of Christopher Lee (Dracula) that I received last year from my fiancé. Lolita:
Wow—Vincent Price actually carries some weight long after Halloween
is gone. *** LANTZ BOYLES (Regressing to Apes): I would like to see
the Dodge Street Bar & Grille stand as a catalyst for the North
Shore music scene and for all of us to be successful. There are
so many great bands that pass through here. *** LINDA
VIENS (Angeline): For Xmas I
would love plane tickets to someplace beautiful and exotic. *** PAUL ROBICHEAU
(the Improper Bostonian): An iPhone on the network of my choice...
okay, I’d settle for a new iPod. *** NANCY
NEON (Noise/ Varmints mgr.): My ideal Christmas present
would be a double bill of the Varmints and the Waldos starring Walter
Lure of the Heartbreakers in NYC, Boston, and Worcester. Talk about guitargasmatic!
*** RODRIGO VAN STOLI (BrownBoot/Noble Rot): I want a tailored suit,
an office bar with lots of vodka and a busty secretary screening my
calls. Yes, for Christmas, I want to be Don Draper from Mad Men.
Hold the disgruntled wife, please. *** ALLAN
SHEINFELD (ROY SLUDGE): February. Lolita:
That’s so thoughtful of you, Alan— you want to skip right over January
because you know the Noise isn’t published between Christmas and February.
