Depending on who you talk to, this album is called either BROKEN Bottles EMPTY Hearts or EMPTY Bottles BROKEN Hearts. This is by far one of the best drinking albums ever. Especially if you live at Lazerbeams. Goddamn I wish I could Karaoke this shit.
1. I Want a Lot Now (So Come On) - This song is one of the few things Eric and I agree on: This is one of the best album openers in history.
2. Dancin' Shoes - If you are drunk and can't dance, but you want to really bad, this song is for you. This gets the poon all up in your face.
3. 18 Wheels - This song sounds the same even if you are so drunk you can't say real words. A song about leaving a lonely lady behind while you are on the road. A good singalong song.
4. Left Hand Right Hand - Inspired by the totally radass movie "Night of the Hunter". A good car driving tune.
5. Ready for More - This song should be played on every jukebox in every bar. Everyone would start drinking like a bunch of horny lions. THE BAR WOULD SELL OUT OF BOOZE!
6. Cradle to the Grave - Another good drunkin singalong song. Do you see a pattern here?
7. Dear Hearts - This song is for later in the night when all the ladies are drunk enough to want to fuck you. My patented "Magic Man" move works with this song also.
8. Hey Sailor - Pure RocknRoll. Good for staying awake while driving in the middle of the night.
9. Johnny Thunders - This whole thing confuses me. Johnny Thunders was from the New York Dolls. But there was also a Kinks song called "Johnny Thunders". I know this sweet tune is about Johnny Thunders from the Dolls, but where did this Johnny Thunders name originate? Anybody know? I like Jimmy Lightnings better anyway.
10. Stars in Her Eyes - This song is very helpful when you are drunk and pissed off about some dumb ass hoochie who wont fuck your cock. Mixes well with beligerent banter.
11. Another Round on You - Good beginner to a road trip or for drinkin. Or for warming up for Vollyball. Beach Vollyball. Naked Beach Vollyball. Drunkin Naked Beach Vollyball. If I had a Drunkin Naked Beach Vollyball team, this is what we would play as we stretched and got all warmed up.
12. Every Shitty Thing - Good for finding yourself screaming by yourself in your room. This song is filled with the most disgust and anger out of all the songs I've ever heard. Coincidently, MY FAVORITE ON THIS ALBUM.

MUCH LUV

"johnny thunders" by the kinks was about the singer / guitarist from the dolls, he was born in 52 and his real name was john anthony genzale. the first time he changed it was to johnny volume when he was in highschool and first began playing music then he changed it again to johnny thunders in the early 70's when actress(? something like that) became the dolls. johnny thunders was punk when no one had heard of punk music and if they did they probably hated it. he played with sid vicious too for a while. i think he was trying to kick heroin when he died of a methadone overdose in the early 90's.

in cold blood is an awesome book that im pretty sure is out of print... also born to lose is awesome, basically random stoned punk pioneers talking about mr. thunders (the editing job is rad ass)

you should do one of these awesome album reviews for worldhood of the world (as such) PLEASE!!!!!!! I'll suck yo dick.

i will, i was trying to think of the next one to do, that one is one of my favs. And thank you sarah, but are you sure the kinks song is about johnny thunders? I believe that song came out on an album that was released in 1969. But I'll check it out, thanks for the info!

sledg

no een you are right... the song was "johnny thunder" no "s" it did come out in 69 so maybe thats where he got the name

its a mystery!

chicken or the egg?

The song by the Kinks was "Johnny Thunder" and came out in 1968, well before the New York Dolls. So if one led to the other, it was most certainly the song leading to the singer.
