Hot Gossip


We here at PUNK GLOBE wishes everyone a very HAPPY HOLIDAYS and lots of SEASON'S BEATINGS!!! In this time that the world seems to filled with turmoil we must take the time to find the good that is there in the world... Remember how important Love and Kindness is.. Have a blessed Holiday Everyone!!


Can you believe one of the Best Movies Ever turned 40 years old? ROCK N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL.....There has been no date yet set for relocation so I am left up in the air ready to relocate in short notice...... It is frustrating to be in this situation... I know with the holidays coming upon us, city permits and finding the right company who is available to do the job are in the variables.... So I am continuing to to do my daily chores which includes getting PUNK GLOBE out done... Thank you all again for your generosity.... As many of you have read I suffered a head injury causing me to have a sight impairment... I went to Presbyterian ER where I sat for 7 long hours to be seen and another hour to get the results of the scan for a possible concussion.. Luckily I did not have a concussion just a bad bruise but I did see how fucked up my back is... I have a follow up appointment with an eye specialist..... Boy they keep the ER rooms cold to prevent bacteria from spreading...


Poor STEVE CRANE was a victim of a hit and run.... STEVE HART told me about it at TRADER JOE'S .. I made a post on Facebook about the accident... LAURA MILLIGAN saw the post and immediately messaged me to make sure STEVE and his wife GERE FENNELLY were okay.. I assured her that they were fine and Steve was taking the car to the shop..... PUNK GLOBE wanted to give you the heads up on the new video for LA-indie rock trio Blame Baby’s recent single “Headcase.” The raucous, punk-inflected song’s themes of disaffection and self-image are enhanced by the band’s taught performance interspersed with images of founder JESSE JOHNSON'S sister GRACE—the inspiration for the track. Shot by COREY JAMES BAILEY..Check out the video here:

The visuals frame GRACE JOHNSON and the band in the same space, at the same time, and it’s unclear who is in whose head. GRACE and her world are draped in innocent sheets of ivory, but beneath it all are the elements and complexities. The band meanwhile is in their crowded space as their world unravels and they clamor to break out of their heads to a time when things were simpler and unrevealed. “The song is a preview of the spirited indie rock with a punk edge that Blame Baby will soon become known for. It’s power pop at its best, with all the memorable melodies and impassioned vocals that you could hope for.” JESSE and GRACE are the children of DON JOHNSON....... MAD SNEAK has just released a new single with a more than special guest. The song is called "Dead Killer" and features PAGE HAMILTON, leader of the legendary band HELMUT (US) on vocals and guitars. The single was also produced by PAGE HAMILTON.......  Please help KATHY PECK and others with their fight to save 100 trees on California Street in San Francisco... Here is a link that explains it better https://www.savethetrees3333.org/ ......  KATHY had a fun client come in to get custom Ear Plugs and his ears cleaned... He works with CHER'S "Here We Go " tour. A mutual friend had recommended that he make an appointment with KATHY ...... He was so happy with the appointment he got KATHY prime tickets for CHER'S show at The Chase Center in San Francisco... She loved every minute of the show.....


BRODY DALLE lead singer of THE DISTILLERS is divorcing JOSH from THE QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE....... A brand new MOTHERRFUCKIN' MOTHERFUCKERS single called "Trillion Dollar Man" out now on Luxe Noise Records........ JOSE ORTEGA is now a manager at TRADER JOE'S he was transferred over to The Silverlake Store from the Vine Street store leaving ANN  MAGNUSON to check up on him... ANN'S former co-star from The Hunger CATHERINE DENEUVE suffered a mild stroke in France.. SWANS' Leaving Meaning, the band's 15th studio album, the follow up to 2016's The Glowing Man had a great first week of sales according to Billboard Magazine's national chartsm charting higher than 2014's To Be Kind, their highest charting release up to that point.   Just how bad are things for republikkkans? Even a desperate last-minute appeal from dolt 45 couldn't save republikkkan gov. matt bevin in deep red Kentucky last night, and Democrats have scored a huge victory in mitch mcconnell's home state. mcconnell is under assault from all sides. He's trying to shore up his senate majority ahead of a tough year for senate republikkkans (they're defending 23 seats next year, while just 12 Democratic seats are up), he's walking a tightrope when it comes to impeachment proceedings, and now Democrats have notched a major win in his backyard.The whole state of Virginia went Democratic.. The first time in 25 years.......Go Blue......A true Patriot came to testify before the impeachment inquiry when former Ambassador To Ukraine MARIE YOVANOVITCH came to tell her story.............

A Federal Judge rules that DON MCGAHN must testify, delivering a huge blow to dolt 45....... Now this a key member of dolt 45’s team, steven miller who authored the Muslim Ban and family separation policies, has privately pushed for widespread dissemination of extreme white supremacist ideas for years.The Southern Poverty Law Center uncovered 720 emails from White House Senior Policy Advisor stephen miller, further confirming what many of us have long known: miller’s racist and xenophobic ideology is the basis for U.S. immigration policy under the dolt 45 administration. In one email, miller urged far-right racist website Breitbart to promote a book that casts immigrants of color as savages who literally eat feces. This swine should be removed from office.... Here is a video of THE RAMONES doing dolt 45's Quid Pro Quo I Want Nothing notes.....Pretty fucking funny....

ALEX WELKER has a new Rock /Pop Ep out on on Smst Records... Indie Vision Music and Thumper Punk Records are proud to present the 3rd Ep set of songs from Florida transplant by way of New Jersey, pop-punk-rock-ska hybrid act – NO LOST CAUSE. This new Ep is titled “P.S.” and is a loving reminder of God’s love for us all and the hope that flows from that instant connection one has with the Lord. This hybrid style of music will please fans new and old to those great sounds of bands like Goldfinger, Blink-182, Pennywise, Slick Shoes, Fireflight, RED, and even 311.... Grab this fantastic Ep from IVM and Thumper Punk on December 6th. Ep will be available on both CD and Digital from both places........ LADY BUNNY posted a Birthday Wish to AMANDA LEAR from an online website claiming she is 80 years old...... TINA TURNER just turned 80 years old... She was big in Paris scene in the late 50's according to Trans Model APRIL ASHLEY..... AMANDA is a beautiful Trans Model, Painter Singer Actress who dated some very amazing men like DAVID BOWIE, BRYAN FERRY and BRIAN JONES... The Rolling Stones song 'Miss Amanda Jones' was written about her.... JAYNE COUNTY recalled a funny story regarding her and BOWIE when LEEE BLACK CHILDERS asked how sex was with her.

 HENRY ROSENTHAL aka HANK RANK recently had a soiree in San Francisco to preview of the new CRIME documentary that I am featured in.... Here is a photo from The CRIME Bus Tour to Los Angeles at the infamous TROPICANA MOTEL...Look at how FRANKIE AVALON cute FRANKIE FIX was....


BONY MACARONI sings in Dutch! Floods of tears in this totally emo-song: "Six years down the drain, I want to cry in my pillow until I am tired" and that in increasingly violent volume gradations. Not surprisingly new single Takkejonk is a big success at the 18.... BONY MACARONI concerts on their tour of Dutch showcase festival 'Popronde' this fall, but also at their live performances abroad. Even if nobody understands the lyrics, the message gets across nevertheless...... BONY MACARONI are making self-loathing cool again. At least, they hope so. Because, after previous failed attempts at life in general, these dudes want to give a fuck again...... The first five singles immediately landed on a multitude of Spotify Playlists with several tens of thousands of followers like New Punk Tracks, Punk Unleashed and Rocking Indie by PopFiltr, got airplay in The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Australia, and brought the band critically acclaimed international press............ THE LUNACHICKS are reforming and will be playing Webster Hall in New York City..... WHITE TRASH DEBUTANTES played a few shows with them... So much fun...


THE JETTES from Berlin, Germany  and they're releasing their first EP later this month. Everything was produced by THE JETTES in between Laura's tours with GURR. The sound is kinda lo-fi and raw Indie-Rock, sometimes a little jangly but mostly just straight-forward. We'll be on a 10-day tour through Germany later this month and have a sweet music video ready by the time the EP gets released.  Financed with a 666€ lottery win, the two recorded five tunes in a cozy studio in Offenbach, Germany.
