@admanphoto very good taste! look around the internet for a series called "lux and ivys favorites" or something like that, its about 13 cds worth of songs they mentioned they liked in various interviews/songs they covered etc., one of the greatest music lessons you could ever ask for

@johnnymccrowe To my shame, I presumed it was a Cramps original. Lux and Ivy had gooood taste!
